Silly, quirky mood....


today; perhaps it's from the constant wet weather or just needed to bust out a bit. I have had this beautiful black feather in my stash for ages and today was the day I really wanted to use it on a lo. LOL sometimes I worry about myself, anyway I used it with a bow I also had in my stash and called the lo Feathers and Bows: (What else you might ask?), however the lo didn't turn out too badly. I now think I have it out of my system.....until the next time!!

Autumn Leaves


I just love this Autumn Leaves paper which suited the colour of the photo extremely well. I stitched in the light lilac to add to the pattern on the paper and the kindy glitz on the buterflies. The photo was really an "at the moment" shot on stage and I needed to lighten up the feel as both the kids looked really sad. I love the way it turned out.

Boys Ahoy


I though a masculine lo was called for as I have really been doing a lot of girlie stuff lately. Wade and Kendall were in their element at the Brock Experience in Yeppoon, so much so that they are going down again in March for the starting up of the cars and meeting some of the drivers. When I cam across this chipboard saying of Boys and Their Toys I knew that the car pictures had found their calling. I did some girlie stuff yesterday with Autumn leaves paper but will share it with you sometime in the future.

Some shares at last!!


What a great night at Friday Frenzy! Great scrapping, the birth of a baby, congratulations to Jan and Tony McGrath on another granddaughter, and what a great night for us to share the news with you. It is really a wonder we got anything done with all the frivolity however I managed 2 single los and a very simple double. I am sharing the result of the online class with Ngaire at Scrapbooking top 50. The class was last night but I downloaded it before hand so I could complete it at Magical Memories last night. We have a busy weekend with Jazz workshops so this post will have to be brief. Have a great weekend....

What a week


and it's only Wednesday! I am looking forward to Friday night as I am cropping at Magical Memories and I also have a Ngaire Bartlem kit for an online class the same night. Guess I'll do it on Saturday. The kids have a jazz workshop this weekend for their exams so in between running them to class, mowing the yard again and getting the domestics done, I am hopeful to get stuck into the rest of our holiday snaps. Hopefully I will be able to achieve something. Look forward to sharing some los with you soon. This is one of the photos I hope to scrap on Friday night. Nothing like mixing pink and machinery.......

Hubby's new toy.


Wade has always wanted a big TV, but as our TV was still fine I made him wait. However last Wednesday night the old TV gave up the ghost. So then the research began. I left it all to him and then he found one on ebay (usually my place to purchase). Hearts raced as we put in our final bid and won the TV. A 42'' plasma arrived by TNT on Friday. Talk about a pig in mud he now has it all set up, although we had to buy a new cabinet as ours would not accomodate such a large TV. A picture of set up is included. Wade is very happy with his toy and when he is happy we are all happy.
