Congratulations Adam and Mel :)

We went to the gorgeous wedding of Al's xbox buddy Ad's to Mel on Saturday :) It was such a beautiful day :D
I dont know why but I dont think this photo looks like me LOL maybe its because someone else took it instead of me doing the old "hold it out as far as you can and hit the button trick"PMSL


Can this view from our hotel room get any more beautiful??I think not......it was stunning :)



Thats more like it!




We had a fandabbydosey time.....it was so nice to have some time on our own away from it all......we met some really nice people,had a few drinks,ate some awesome food and loved every minute of it :D Thanks for a fab weekend bub, love you *mwah*

This is my LO from last weeks LCA challenge at CIS :) the theme was romance so I had to do some of our wedding pics :) The rose on my LO is my pathetic attempt at trying to do the gorgeous paper flowers on Nicole Aspinalls blog.......I couldnt do it as well as she did but I'll keep trying lol Thanks for the fab tutorial Nicole!
Oh and before I forget I have been tagged twice!I'll be back tomorrow to do my tagging :D
Thanks for all your lovely messages about having a good weekend *mwah*
Have a fab night lovelies :)

what a weekend!!

This is Jack's love hate relationship with Olly bird LOL poor boys never give each other any peace so Olly is now living out the front instead LOL



Oh my I am happy dancing like Ive never happy danced before!!Check out all these goodies I got in my stars of scrap prize pack!!!Yay woohoo!!Thanks so much to Victoria from http://www.scrapbookingtop50.com.au/ I love it!!


Oooh nice uggies on the bottom of the pic LOL oops!




As many of you know I lived in Belfast Northern Ireland until I was 8 and we moved to Australia to live and we have always had a fascination with the awesome wildlife in this country :D Well last night when I was getting ready to head home we heard a bang on the back verandah and when Dad went out to investigate we discovered this beautiful brush tail possum out there having a little sticky beak lol!It was so cool I couldnt resist snapping away :)






Hand feeding this little sweetie



Look how chuffed my Dad is :D He is a major animal lover (thats where I get it from lol) He was getting ready to catch the grapes again lol


I love this one....he/she is looking straight at me like Ïm ready for my close up"PMSL!!
This is my LO for this weeks LCA at CIS the inspiration was a pinochio poster :D I couldnt resist using these pics of Josh at about 18months helping himself to a drink straight from the carton LOL and the quote ïm a real boy"was perfect LOL!!Im loving these animal stamps at the moment so they are everywhere lol






Its my turn to teach this month at Wicked Princesses!!I will be teaching you how to do these cards using the fabulous June kit with all its yummy goodies oh yay love Marrakech so much :D So if you are interested in joining in please head on over to WP and pick up your kit and meet me in the classroom on the 15th of June :D

Lyns,Morgan ,Mum and I headed into the city for the scrapbook show on saturday (im so sorry Tanya I forgot my camera :( oops) OMG it was INSANELY busy!!!I was gobsmacked!!Poor little Morgan was a tad upset by some people wearing masks for the swine flu (dont even get me started on that one ) and to be honest I was a wee bit shocked at how rude and aggressive women can be :-O We took the stroller so Morgan could be comfy and the amount of tuts and dirty looks when I asked ëxcuse me,sorry"when just trying to move forward was ridiculous......seriously people manners are free!!!I think next year I'll go in on the Friday instead of the saturday.......we checked out the lifeline bookfest too and I scored a few bargains to use as ephemera for my scrapping ;-)


I got back late last night and slept like a dog after worrying about Lucy (our family dog we got when I was 17) i woke up friday morning and she was gone :( which isnt like her at all but the builders next door have been using a nail gun and she is terrified of loud noises.....I walked the neighbourhood calling and calling her and she was no where to be found :( Lyns,Morgan and I drove around looking too but still nothing :( I cried like a baby when dinner time came around because I thought she wouldve come back and was stressing she would be hungry (even though she is a total porker and missing one dinner wouldnt hurt lol) we called the council and left our details,and then on saturday the council website said it had a terrier X,black and tan,female,no collar(she took it off the night before :-O) and found on friday so we thought yay its Lucy!!But after calling the council found out their offices where closed until tuesday.......and then yesterday we where all sitting around having cuppas in the morning and Dad went to go out the front and get the paper and guess who was on the front verandah?.....yep you guessed it Lucy lou grinning from ear to furry ear, bathed and a more tired than I have ever seen her LOL!!As for where she has been and who bathed her I have no idea!!Happy days!!


Im off to play with the goodies in my pack!


Have a fab day everyone!
