We had some crazy weather last night and some humdinger thunder and lightning.....hope it doesnt come back again tonight Kloe goes burko in storms.......Jack isnt phased at all but she will do one of 2 things 1: escape and run around barking at the sky or 2: sit in the laundry and bark at the ceiling LOL both of which are most frustrating and sometimes a wee bit annoying.....oh well thats good old QLD weather hey! Olly loves it because he is brought inside and has a fly around .....he was following me all over the house last night lol

HI everybody! LOL AL is watching the simpsons on tv and me typing that made me think of Dr Nick PMSL

Yay its sunday......I love sundays :) Its a day for lazing on the couch....watching tv.....scrapping.......or in my case goign out for coffee with the gorgeous and fabulous Nichole and Jody :D

Which reminds me to give a MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS to Jody and Lesley for winning the small business award in our local area woooohooooo you rock girls!!!

I showed a sneak of this LO earlier in the week and now that the CISters night in has officially started I can show you my LO :) I cant share the sketch its an exclusive one for the girls night in but if you made a donation you have full access in the forum at CIS :D Lana and the girls did an awesome job putting together challenges and games and everyone managed to raise double what Lana was trying to raise towards breast cancer research and I think everyone that donated is fandabbydosey *mwah* you are fab!

I scrapped my precious photo of the girls that I'd be lost without.....my Granny,my Mum,my Sister and my gorgeous Niece :) All so precious to me and this is a photo from when Granny was over earlier this year so its a photo of 4 generations all together ....I treasure it :)
Some little close ups......I found the little poem on a site and I think its lovely and says exactly what I wanted.
The cybercrop party at Wicked Princesses kicked off on Friday night and Kayla,Kirsty and I have all come with a challenge to inspire you........there is a challenge by Karen and Tam too so make sure you check it out and join in the fun!

This is my example for Kayla's fandabbydosey challenge :D I look like a total goose in this photo on my birthday this year lol and it looks like Morgan is consoling me "its ok Auntie there is chotolate (typed how miss cute cabootie says it lol) cake!" PMSL she is so like me chocolate fixes everything lol
check out how awesome the shimmerz turn out on chippies!Oh my am I hooked on these things or what!I also sprayed the cardstock before stamping on it and it gave the most gorgeous subtle shimmer.....yummo i love them :D
Oh new poppie too!!These are limited and I'll be listing them today on the flowers blog so if you are interested they are first in best dressed lovelies :D
Sarah from Inkurable Stampers sent me these wordstrips from Darkroom Door and at first I was thinking "what'll I do with these" but gee's louise im putting them on everything!They are awesome!I added them to my shimmerz card the other day and now my LO......so versatile and fun to use on any creation :) Thanks again Sarah!


This is my example for my challenge at Wicked Princesses :) I created a sketch and my added criteria is that the colour scheme should be some sort of party food :D I picked my second favourite party food (cake is the first lol) Fairy Bread!Yum!and so perfect for these photos of Morgan blowing our the candles on her birthday last month :) Look how chuffed she is in the last one awwwww oh and how cool is the cake that mum made!I forgot to get a pic before these oops but you can see how cool it is anyway :) I used rainbow poppies and a pink one as embellies ........they match the yummy Stampin Up papers I used perfectly :D

Okies better go and get dressed hey!

Have a fabulous day everyone and thanks for stopping by!

This is my example using the sketch :) Im not normally one for journalling but this paper Lana sent me to play with had lines and I figured why not fill them?! lol I took these photos of my ultra cool and spunky peep Josh at the end of last month and I have to say everytime I take photos of this kid he looks bigger and more grown up......slow down a bit man!!I added one of my denim poppies which work fab with any boyish LO's and did some distressing and layering.......I love how it has come together!
Some close ups......

Have you seen Shimmerz???Have you bought any yet?? I bought some and oh lordy I am loving them!!Mine arrived yesterday and needless to say Ive already made 2 cards featuring them lol Wicked Princesses is the only store in Australia selling them and the girls have a sale on!!How fandabbydosey is that!You get to have some fab new product and at a bargain price :D

I used angels wings shimmerz on the butterfly and on the cuttlebugged pieces and also painted some onto the flower........its hard to tell in the pics but its a gorgeous delicate glittery prettiness :D
I used tickle me turquoise shimmerz and babys breath spritz to smoosh into the background piece and then stamped my butterfly stamps on top :D
Okely dokely Id better go and start the day :) Dont forget to join in the birthday cybercrop celebrations at Wicked Princesses and I'll catch you all at the CISters night in on Saturday night too :D

Ummm flowering and green doesnt ever mean dead bub! I stood there arms crossed totally peaved and then he flashed those massive dimples and cheeky grin and I couldnt help but laugh lol we are totally garden challenged and its sometimes astonishing that anything survives us and our lack of garden etiquette lol Oh well if they are meant to be they will come back then Al can say "told ya so...did it the world of good" lol fingers crossed anyway lol

Thanks for all your lovely well wishes about my headache *mwah* its seems to be all good now (phew) besides me feeling like I had a hangover without the fun bit first lol I think I need to get new specks to be honest......oh joy the man with the pokey thing near my eyeball again ......took me half an hour to let him just do that bit last time lol
