For all those loveyly comments on my shabby LO *mwah* to you all!It was so lovely to read all those comments :D I have never had that many before!!I was feeling the love gorgeous people :) Thanks for making my day!



I think this shabby stuff has got me hooked!This weeks challenge for christmas in july was to make a christmas card with no christmas products so I raided the stash and found some oldies but goodies and made this card :D I like it!

I got the new phone today....not the one I wanted but a phone none the less YAY!Dont even talk to me about Optus today Im likely to rant like theres no tomorrow LOL I downloaded ïts not fair"by Lily Allen LOL Love that song.....I wanted "funhouse"by Pink but it wouldnt let me downoad it :( awwww poo maybe next month LOL

Im off for some much needed peeps time :) Al is dropping me down tomorrow (in the wee hours......and I mean wee hours as in 5am :O not after 8am like my normal wakeup time LOL) then Lyns and Morgan are picking me up so I can go and spend a few days with my gorgeous sis and the two kids that make my world go round :) Josh has sports day on thursday so I bought batteries for the SLR so im hoping for a few good action shots to scrap :D Morgan has requested a trip to the strawberry farm to pick "strawbs"so that'll be happening at some point too and of course I'll have the camera lol

Okies Im off to pack my bag now so I'll have an extra few minutes in bed in the morning LOL

*mwah* take care and thanks for visiting :)

Isnt she lovely.......

Is my first EVER attempt at shabby scrapping!I was doing a spot of blogging yesterday and came across the blog "Lets get shabby"and thought I might have a go at their challenge.......Ive always loved the look of shabby but couldnt get my head around it all til I decided what they hay just go for it LOL I made another of those homemade vines (thanks again Kerryn :D) and this time I think it turned out better than my last one........they are sooooo much fun to make!I recycled some old silk flower stems for this one so my paper roses have a nice leafy bottom :)Here are a couple of closeups
Thats one of the clip on earrings I scored from Vinnies the other day :D
Okies better dash and get myself organised Im off for a walk to coles to do some shopping.......have a fab day everyone!

just a test lol

Just testing to see if my new siggy is working LOL testing testing 1 2......LOL yes everytime I see a microphone I am compelled to say that LOL

Ummmm......I think I need a new phone :-$

Look what the screen is doing :O This was after it reversed all the things on the screen PMSL I was half way through recieving a text from Nic and it went haywire!I knew it was on its last legs but gee's it couldve waited til I read the text!!So RIP my moby......onwards and upwards LOL Ive already picked out my new baby so hopefully I can go pick it up tomorrow :D Fingers crossed :)
My fandabbydosey friend Manon is holding a class at scrapboutique today and the theme of the album is me!Well if you do it it'll be you but you get the picture LOL So anyhoo we needed different piccies of ourselves for the album so I gave my camera a workout......I woke up this morning feeling very bleh and wasnt liking what I saw in the mirror so I did my hair and a spot of makeup and snapped a few shots of myself for the album........PMSL you can tell how nice my hair looks by the above piccie LOL Jokes I took some that are me but not my face iykwim?Anyway you'll get to see all the piccies when I do the class so I wont make ya look at them now :)
The fabulous Kerryn shared with me a tutorial on homemade vines the other night and I couldnt wait to have a go!!!Soooooo much fun!Im a wee bit proud of my flowers made with a $2 punch =) Cant show you the full LO yet you'll have to wait til August 1st ;)Thanks heaps for sharing Kerryn you rock! *mwah*
Last night I joined in the speed scrap at scrapboutique this is the result .......Love these popsicle papers from Bo Bunny!And of course love this piccie of my beautiful niece Miss Morgan being her crazy gorgeous self :DMy pic from last night was sooooooo dodgy so this is a vast improvement LOL


OMG yay I FINALLY got my Picasa to work again!!Yippeeee!!Seriously people it was really annoying me not being able to use it!I contacted the dude that fixed the lappy and he couldnt work it out.....I asked on the forum at Picasa and they tried but still couldnt explain why it wouldnt download then this morning (when I was washing my hair LOL) I had a revelation......what was missing since I got the lappy fixed??Mozilla.....maybe if I try that it might work and if not I'll give up (yeah right as if Im too stubborn to give up lol) and woohoo happy dance it worked!!!Haha not so computer challenged anymore hey! PMSL!

Okies im off to print some piccies :D

Hope you are all having a great saturday!

sketch day and look what I made :)

Miss Morgan turns 4 in September and Auntie loves giving a handmade pressie as well as shop bought ones so yesterday I felt inspired to design and sew :O I know the machine was probably shocked too LOL I dont have any little dollys to use as models so "Bruno"bear will have to do lol good job he is jst a toy and cant whinge about wearing this LOL Yes I am mad LOL Hopefully it'll fit "Little one"who is Morgans most loved baby :) She is never far from Morgan day and night so I couldnt even "dollnap"her for a couple of weeks pmsl :D This one was the trial run so if it fits then Im going to do a pink fairy princess one :D Al reckons I should consider selling them on etsy......I dunno what do you think?

Ta da its sketch day again!The fandabbydosey Kerryn and Sara have created some LO's to inspire you all today so head on over to the sketch blog and check them out :D

I went for a wander down the road yesterday and did some grocery's ( soooo exciting not LOL) then visited the gorgeous Miss Jody and had a spot of retail therapy ;) then had a wandert through vinnies on the way back.......I love checking out the buttons and bits and bobs in there I can recycle onto my scrapping or sewing :D I found some teeny tiny baby socks for Morgans dolls and some ancient ....ooops I mean vintage LOL string pearls and some clip on earrings that will be perfect for some shabby/vintage looking LO's :D The old dear behind me told me ÿou'll look very smart in those" I didnt have the heart to tell her Im gonna pull it all apart in the name of scrapping LOL

Hope you are all well :D Thanks so much for visiting.....pretty please say hi and I'll come and visit your blog and return the favour :)

Little King :)

This months challenge at inkurable stampers is to use playing cards in a project and I couldnt resist scrapping this pic of Josh that I took last weekend :D I photocopied the playing card and distressed it .....it looked way too neat to start off with lol.I added a joker card too which suits Josh right down to the ground because this boy cracks me up! Lots of distressing and some paint makes for a fun boy LO :D

I have done another dimensional LO too but you're gonna have to wait because its one for the lovely Jules to teach as a class :D Its chock full of Bo Bunny gorgeousness and definately worth checking out :D

I had a fandabbydosey day today with the fabulous Nic and the gorgeous Jakob and Sam :D I was most excited to get a hug from Jakob and a smooch from Sam lol I might start giving them pressies more often if thats what I'll get in return!LOL Jakob loved his mega sketcher and Sam loved his lawn moower (its a cow and super cute lol) lots of coffee and yummy food and a day catching up is always a great way to spend a day :) Plus Nic let me borrow some of her new stampin up stamps and OMG I can wait to get crackin tonight :D

Monday madness

Ive been doing the Jessica Sprague free class and had a great old time playing with my photos :D I dont have photoshop :( but I do have gimp which is almost as good and most of the brushes work so its ok :) I took all these piccies at the weekend before Morgan got sick poor Princess :(

Mum has the most awesome red rose in her garden at the moment and I couldnt resist asking Morgan to have a whiff so I could get this photo lol :)

The ever spunky Josh who is getting SO grown up its not funny!He is going to be my hot date to see the new Harry Potter movie when Im down next :D

Can she get anymore cuter??Seriously she should be on tv I reckon!Im totally biased Auntie of course lol

Before I went away for the weekend I did a mad dash and did 2 of the challenges for the mini cc at TSE and joined in the blind scrap with Ngaire and the notebook challenge with Beth and love the results! Thanks for the inspiration girls!

As I said above poor little Morgan wasnt very well at the weekend while I was down babysitting them.......she was a little bit under the weather on friday but still her normal self then she woke up saturday morning very sick indeed :( All the poor little love wanted where cuddles and she wasnt too well pleased about having to take medicine but she was running a fever and the amount of time she was sleeping was freaking her Auntie out!Josh was really good with her getting her drinks of water and checking on her.He also went for a bike ride with Grandad.......Dad loves his new bike horsey got him for his birthday!He said the little computer thingy bob Lyns and I got is awesome it tells him his speeds,distance etc so he is keeping track of his distances.

Anywhoo we didnt get to go to the park......poor little darlin woke up and said "can we go to the park now" but she didnt even have the energy to lift her head never mind be out and about so it is set that next time im down we are off to the park :)

I think thats about it for me for now........im in the middle of cleaning then tonight its just me and the scraproom (LOL) while Allan partakes in his latest addiction.....a game called Evony :$ and chatting to his mates on skype lol I have to poke my head around the corner to check if he is on video chat .....I dont want people to see me in my daggys lol

Alrighty thanks for stopping by! *mwah*

Who is joining in the cybercrop at A Passion For Craft?You've got until Wednesday midnight to get your entries in.......blind scrap and sketch or maybe enter the photo challenge set by Lynnie.......hope you can play along :)

I gave myself the worstest (I know bad grammar LOL) headache/migraine last night and it was all for the sake of blogging lol I created a blog to store my sketches check it out!!I even made a banner all by myself!!!OMG :O so proud that I did it without major incident lol I love seeing my sketches come to life so if you are inspired by one of my sketches pretty please let me know via a link Id love to see them :)

Its raining heaps here today.....started this morning when I was trying to talk myself into getting out of bed (which made it even harder to shove off the doona and start the day lol) Al had been at work for hours by then of course he works way too hard that gorgeous man of mine :) I watched one of my fave shows on foxtel "the secret millionaire" I love this show it always makes me smile seeing people do good things for others....its a real warm fuzzy show.

Ive said it before and I'll say it again........I hate doing double LO's!!Its so hard for me......dunno why it just really bugs me.Maybe its the amount of pics it takes to fill a double LO...Im a one or 2 photos per LO kinda gal.......or trying to get the flow right or maybe Im just too critical of myself!Its definately one or all of the above lol I spose thats the whole idea of the challenge though to "challenge"yourself but this one has me in panic mode......will this be the one that ruins my chances.........oh well its worth a try hey onwards and upwards lol

Im off to try again lol

Have a fab day lovelies :)

{{hugs}} to the gorgeous Kate the great for having to go to the hospital today.....hope it goes well lovey!Not long now till that little bubs is here :)
