I finished a Layout!!!!

I can hardly believe it. Finally, I have finished a layout. This is from a workshop I did with Lynette from K&Company. It was awsome. Really loved the products from the new range. Found this beautiful picture of Mum that just finished the layout off perfectly. It feels so good to be getting back into everything.

School holidays have started and would you believe it decides to rain now. We went to the local video store today as they have $2 Tuesday so the kids got a couple of DVD's as a treat (for me as well as them!!) I kind of want to say I hope the rain stops tomorrow but we badly need it so I can't complain. May have to make a trip to the local library as tomorrow's "keep busy without getting wet" activity!

That's it for now. xoxo

Mini Concert

We have been so busy the past couple of days. Chloe had her mini concert on Saturday and we went to Mooloolaba on Sunday.

I was so proud of Chloe at her concert. She was very excited and very grown up. I was able to leave her in the dressing room while I went into the hall to watch her - the first time for this. Big step for C. Took lots of pics so will only post a couple but will have to get around to scrapping the rest.

I realised today that I forgot to post my card that I did during the week. This week's theme was Remember When... I was thinking of using a photo of the four of us when we went on a family holiday to Canberra in 1985 but decided on doing the wedding photo of J and I. It was fun to think back on such a special and perfect day. I took the pics without a flash so the light isn't all that great and has made the card look yellow - it was supposed to look cream with pale blue as that was the colours we had for our wedding. Oh well!! Enjoy!

Heaps of pics.

Yeah! Have had a very productive day today. Getting motivated in all areas of my life right now. Finally got back into doing work last night, totally re-organized my scrap/office area, and took heaps of photos today. This blog is to post photos. I'd forgotten how much fun it is to do. Am now wanting to do heaps more. I think I might try setting aside 1 day a week that is just for taking photos! As they say - practise makes perfect!This is the coop that J built for the chickens - he was not keen on getting the chicks at first but now is right into them.

Here are three of our "girls" roaming around the backyard.

Beautiful girl - messy hair and all! C's friend Ella. These girls are the best of friends it is so cute to see.

H is just so easy going. Has to have something to do with being no. 3.

Very cheeky!

These are some penholders I made today for the children's art area. I will be keen to see how long they stay this tidy. LOL! This is my second shirt I made the other night. I'm having so much fun with these.

That's all for now. I need to go and get my card for this week done and I also want to make another shirt and do some work. Hmmm, somehow I don't think all this is going to happen. Oh well! xoxo

T-Shirt Fun

Have just had the most amazing weekend. The Gift Shop at the Carnival yesterday went extremely well and we are all still on a high. I couldn't sleep last night my head was still spinning with thoughts and ideas for the next one and then today I pulled out an old t-shirt from the cupboard and had a bit of fun with it.

This is totally addictive and am keen to do some more. Might just have to clean the cupboard out and give all my t-shirts a fresh look. xoxo

Treasure each Memory

Here is my Deck of Me Card for this week. The prompt was Right Now.... We had Grandma's funeral on Thursday and my thoughts "right now" are fairly emotional. On the back I have put the eulogy I wrote, in the envelope, which will be amazing to read when I look back later. It was

straight from the heart and when it's not so hard I will scrap a tribute to a woman who was a generous, caring, strong and beautiful soul. Night all. xoxo
