What a weekend!!

What a weekend!I went to Mum and Dads on Wednesday last week and had a great time as always......I took over the kitchen table with all my scrap stuff LOL!!I had an absolutle ball helping out with the cybercrop at scrapboutique with Liz and Terri!"Some say I'm strong" is my LO for Terri's challenge "Happy Girls" is my LO for Liz's sketch challenge and "Smile" is my LO for my challenge!!I had heaps of fun with all of them! "Close-up "was my LO for last weeks sketch at CIS.....I love those Kaiser boy pp's! Kloe the naughty dog kept me up all of wednesday night at Mum and Dads barking at everything that moved......full moon gave her a clear view of everything *rolling my eyes* but after that she wasn't too bad I just had to do stealth to go out without her seeing me leave LOL! Saturday I went shopping with ma and got some photo's printed from my new SLR and they turned out really well....only a couple of blurry ones I can probably fix with my software.Then Saturday night we went and looked after the kids while Matt and Lyns went out for a bit and Josh helped me do the bingo calling for scrapboutique......he loved it.....and so did I!I've handed the crown back to the lovely Kate though she is the bingo calling queen at scrapboutique ;) Then Sunday I went to the brisbane CISters crop and met Liz,Jolene,Leone,Linda,Vicki and Karen for the first time they are all so lovely and had a great time playing with my cuttlebug!!!It was really lovely to meet them IRL and I'm a little bit proud of myself for going considering the old me wouldn't even talk on a forum never mind meet up in real life LOL!!!!I had a fab day and an awesome weekend.......it is nice to be home with my honey though I always miss him when we are apart.......I know soppy isn't it LOL!!Thats about it for now......I haven't heard anything about my DT tryout yet but I'm working on a few more at the moment so fingers crossed!!!TFL Krissy xx

This weeks sketch at CIS


This is my example of Liz's sketch this week at CIS.....loved it!This is Morgan playing with Lucy on Christmas Day last year she loves throwing the ball for Lucy hence the title "1,2,3 catch!" usually Morgan bursts into fits of giggles because Lucy never misses and always catches the ball......Morgan finds this very entertaining LOL!!

Problem solved :)

I went for a walk today to put up posters about the puppy I found yesterday and on my way back noticed a sign saying "Lost puppy....answers to Willy" and a phone number so I figured I'd give it a go and it was his owners!!!Yay!!!So happy to be able to give him back safe and sound :)Apparently the little girl the lady has cried herself to sleep last night thinking he'd never come back :( She is going to be soooo happy!!Good deed for the day done!!!

Stealth mission completed :D

Tatum at CIS set a mini challenge for the CC at CIS this weekend which was to take some photo's that represent Autumn to you.....and I was totally stumped.....probably because we seem to skip autumn completely here is Brisbane!!!But then I remembered my next door neighbours Japanese Maple (I think thats what sort of tree it is.....if not I stand corrected LOL) It is a beautiful tree that looks like it is on fire in Autumn the reds and oranges are fabbo!!Anyhoo I went on a stealth mission to take some pics of her tree......I was going to knock and ask but she never answers her door........I would probably think it was wierd if someone knocked on my door and asked to photograoh one of my trees LOL.......Kloe got into her yard one day and by the time I had stood there for 10 minutes knocking Kloe was at my feet LOL.....so I snuck onto the nature strip and got as close as I could to the tree with out trespassing LOL and these are the pic's I got!!I couldn't choose between the two so I have entered them both LOL!!Hope everyone enjoy's their Monday :) Thanks for stopping by!
