2 sleeps

Well the jolly big man is nearly due again. Where did the year go????? I've been busy lately scrapping some pressies such as paper bag recipe books and some framed pages and making the odd card or two. Put a bit of a hole in my stash of My Minds Eye papers I'd collected. So looking forward to Friday and having all the family together for the day. We will have a full house but it will be so much fun. Except for the cooking, cleaning and washing up.LOL.Anyway dear bloggers, have an excellent Christmas and I wish for a safe and happy and healthy 2010 to you all.xoxo ps. the little elf is my very gorgeous grandson Joshie

Another hot weekend here in Queensland almost over...thank goodness for afternoon seabreezes is all I can say! Dare I say almost too hot in the craft room for scrapping. Have a few projects on the go I need to finish and CLEAN UP my craftroom.
Got lots of lovely papers at Arnold's S/B Supplies on Saturday. Nothing like a great sale to start a girl's weekend off on the right foot.

Hayley's visit

Been a little slack lately due to the visit of D1 Hayley. She lives in Mt Isa so we don't get to see her all that often....here's a pic of her with her brother, Steven. Getting the pair of them together and actually smiling is no mean feat. She was really happy to be finally meeting her newest nephew..Joshua.

Ooops..this is the Bloom layout. Another note to self...do not attempt computer stuff when too tired. Cheers.

Bloom

Glad to be home..been a bit spoilt lately had plenty of time at home to play with my cricut. This layout is of one of our potted frangipanis that Bruce has acquired on his travels. As he is a truckie travelling north, there are lots of trees along the way. He always keeps his eye out for a different colour. The flowers and scent are my absolute favourite. Lovely My Minds Eye papers.

OOOOKKKKKKK.....got the header done but having trouble with the background...printed out the "destructions" and still having trouble.....tomorrow's another day says Dorothy? or was it Alice? Been having some fun with cards today nothing to post yet but will leve with a lovely frangipani pic from our garden.

Boy Layouts

Well I've spent all arvy on this one. I'm totally over glue and ds tape for one day. I find boy pages much more of a struggle than frilly girly pages. Anywho...this is our Hayden on his 2nd birthday..such a sweetie.

Excited as I heard the post van beep today. Two of my cricut carts have arrived and one on the way. Just giving em a test drive now. Also more flowers....note to me....do not buy stuff on the net while consuming alcohol. Upside of that is I get a lovely surprise when I open my packages.LOL

30th October 2009

I have fully embraced this shabby chic trend. I've used some lovely Websters pages and my package from Dlish Scraps arrived in the post today just in time for me to complete it. A friend had shown me a vintage card and it reminded me I had an old pic of my Nana that I could use for a layout.

I only wish now as I'm older that I had taken more of an interest in old family photos. Who knows where they all ended up.

One thing is for sure, in this high tech age future generations will have heaps of pictorial and video history to call upon.

Oh Boy........

Ok here I am in Blogland. What now? Maybe start with a few pics of my layouts. Oh? Did I mention my passion is scrapbooking. I just really stumble through..but with the help of a few talented friends hopefully will widen my horizons....
