Over for another year...

Our dance studio concert performances finished last night at the MECC. Kids performed really well and we oldies did not do too bad either. It is a lot of work for everyone but the rewards for the end result make it all worthwhile. I was really lucky to have some great people helping me with the kids in the dressing room and to Jess and Charli my heartiest thanks; I could not have done it without you both. Dana and Kendall were suitably impressed by your expertise. Look out I think they want you there next year as well! We move on now; I have to play at a concert next Friday evening and we then have some break ups as well. Oh well tis the season to be jolly (busy) afterall!!! Have a great Sunday!

Mother and Daughter effort...

last night to make a few Christmas cards for our family members. Dana enjoyed it just as much as I did and it was nice to have one on one time with her. This coming week is so busy none of us will have time to think, just do......oh well it won't be dull anyway!

Scrap Therapy Sketch November

For a non sketch girl I have done quite a few lately. The latest sketch from Scrap Therapy was quite inspiring so I thought I would use a couple of photos from the Eisteddfod to finish the sketch and for a lo completed on a Sunday night it did not turn out too badly...

November Competition - Scrapbooking Premiere

I did not really know if I was going to take up this months challenge as the criteria seemed a little bit out there however I came up with lo using the 5 elements required:

1. Theme/Title - Water


2. Technique - Stamping with bubble wrap or use bubble wrap (I did both)


3. Product - use some form of mesh on the page


4. Colour - must have orange on the page


5. Misc - Use at least 5 different alphas in your title!

I will have trouble with my sail boarders when I put this in the album as they are standing up with the aid of the mesh and some 3D mounting tape, however I will work that out later.

Nothing like......

a good sketch to get the juices flowing. The November sketch challenge at http://www.scrapbookingpremiere.com.au/ is wonderful. In fact someone there must have known my doom and gloom when it comes to scrapbooking at the moment. I was able to use 4 eisteddfod studio shots on this lo, and also some beautiful crystals and sparkling embossing powder. I wanted to stay with the black and white colour scheme as the kids costumes made it difficult to get a suitable colour scheme. Thanks to Sandra and her team I think the mojo might be finding its way home!!!

Missing mojo....

I think I need to do a wanted poster for my mojo. I did this lo Tuesday, however had no enthusiasm, no mojo, no nothing. I think it is probably the time of year and I should just forget about scrapping until everything settles, however that will be January, and I don't think I can wait that long.....I love the photos of the girls and their tap costume was brilliant. At least Dana has the moment recorded even if it is not as elaborate as her mother would like!

Some days...

you would rather have not got out of bed at all, but you know it is necessary so you do it!!Today was one of those, however it is now nearly 6.00 p.m. and I have survived so all I can say is roll on tomorrow and see if it is better....LOL just had to get that off my chest. Hopefully a glass of wine awaits!!
