Busy Time

Well I have been busy getting back to work and getting the boys back to school. It has been a hectic couple of weeks especially with the Bushfires here in Victoria. DH has been working up at the bushfire sites and comes home tired and full of terrible stories. But I have managed to do some scrapping as well. Mainly for challenges and swaps but at least I am getting photos scrapped. I have been experimenting with different techniques and styles and am happy with the results.


I have also been taking some self portraits and getting use to taking my own photo with some good and bad results, here is a couple that I like.

The Valentines Day Card I made for DH, it was also from the monthly sketches from the SM Forum.

The next two are for Caroline's challenge from roll2create this LO you had to do about someone you love and journal about why you love them. Of course this one is about my DH whom I love to bits. The journally that is under the photo.

The LO.

This is one I did for the monthly swap at SM, I really like it, it turned out great. I also used it for Week 4 of the 45 week challenge at top 50 where you had to use a song in the LO. This one I did for the monthly sketch challenge at SM Forum.

Week 2 of the 45 week challenge at top 50, a sketch challenge this week

This one is for the monthly sketch challenge at Top 50. I really like this one, it took a long time to do as I played around with the photos and could decide on what PP to use but it eventually came together.

That's all for now I have a couple more LO's that I will be finishing today so will post them later.

Thanks for visiting my blog, don't forget to leave a comment would love to hear from you.

Some scrapping

MY god hasn't the weather here in Melbourne been unbearable. I love the heat but the last few days have been too hot.

No work on our extension because of the weather, boy I can't wait till it's finished.

Here's some of the work that I have been doing over the last week or so.

Week 2 of the 45 week challenge at Top 50, I am not putting up week 1 because I hate it. The challenge for week 2 was to use the coulour combo of black, blue and dark green or purple, orange and red. I chose the first combo for this LO of Ronnie Skimboarding at Safety Beach Dromana in January 07.

this is one I did for the SM CC

Blind Scrapping Challenge at Top 50

I have some more LO's but something happened whilst trying to upload them, will try again later.

Some scrapping and chatting

There goes one of my News resolutions (to blog daily) but I can hardly get on the computer both the boys are busy play WOW and doing raids, so haven't been able to but I am determined to blog as often as I can (my life's pretty boring anyway LOL) '

So what's been happening since I last blogged, went down to Dromana for the Strawberry festival as DH had organised for his cobra club mates to take their cars down to show.

My DS2 has started back a gymnastics training so I have been putting in a few hours of work updating the website. DS1 went off to Melbourne Uni and did a science thing for three days, he really had a good time. The boys are also doing Kiteboarding lessons, they have had 1 and we went yesterday for their 2nd one but it became too windy for my DS2 (he only weighs 46 Kilos and he's 13YO) so they didn't get to do that lesson but we have booked in on Sunday and hopefully it won't be too windy.

On Monday I have to go in for Day surgery (girly problems) YUK but hopefully everything will be fixed and OKAY. Next week I have a coaching workshop to attend and also a first aide course (both for work), then it is back to work for me on the 27th January.

On the scrapping front at the moment I am doing a CC over at Scrapbooking Memories which is fun I have done two LO's and am waiting on the 3 and 4th Challenges. I have also done a couple of challenges from a new online site (roll2create) which has been fun. It's has a great forum and Ruby and Kylie from the SM forum are on the Design Team their so it is great to already know some people on the site. If you want to come and look they have opened the store and it is filling with some awesome stuff, and for the month of January EVERYTHING is 10% off! What a bargain!
There is also a very cool forum to join. Feel free to come on over (and use "scrapajar" as your referral so I get some points! LOL) and join in the chat and the challenges.

Look what we found at PIT Gymnastics (this is where I work and where DS trains)

isn't he massive, one of the mum lives in Broadford and has a couple of other lizards so she took him home with her, otherwise next week when all the gymnasts come back he will be spooked.

The boys getting ready for the first Kiteboarding lesson

Challenge one from the SM CC, you had to use different alphas (colour,size etc), doodling (mines pretty ordinary) and an arrow.

This is for the 2nd Challenge: 1 large photo, bling and journalling

This ones for roll2create Design Team Challenges. This one is for Ruby's Challenge.

Happy scrapping everyone.

Well today was the day that I went to see the gynecologist. Yuck. Have been having a bit of womanly problems so off I went. The good news that it isn't serious, have been a little worried about what could be wrong the bad news is that I have to have a little op to get rid of a pollup.

I will be going into hospital on the 19th January to have a bit of a clean up. Perhaps I could have a tummy tuck at the same time LOL.

Not much else happening here will endeavour to get some photos printed, this may inspire me, god knows I need something tool.

Day 6 _ Photos and ramblings

Was up early this morning and went for an hours walk, I must say that I am enjoying these once again.
Down over the bridge at Fairfield Boathouse and along the Kew boulevard.

Waited for the boys to wake up then off to the house do dig more holes.

Here a photo of one.

Left hubby there about 1.30 and took the boys ho9me for lunch, they played on the computer for the afternoon, whilst I read and relaxed. It is now 8.08pm and hubby still not home.

Anyway here a some more photos of the reno's.

The steel where the attic will be, my little scrapping room.

That's all for now.

Day 5 - 5th January, 2009

Not much happening here. seem to have lost my mojo. Need to get some photo developed so I can try and get it back. Just not in the mood to scrap.

I have been on a diet since the New Year and am doing really well. I am walking for about an hour every morning and am feeling better for it. I want to loose about 10 Kilo's and loose my love handles and stomach.

Will keep you posted on that front as well.
