Boys Boys Boys

Too many boys in this house I need some female company to keep me sane. Boys stink and make too much mess and it doesn't matter how old or young they are they are all the same. Anyway can't help but love them. poor old me lucky my sister lives 5 Mins away for some female talk.

Got to do the page for that gorgeous photo I took the other day I am happy with how it turned out, I was worried that whatever I put on the page would detract from the photo but i think I managed to pull it off.


Michael just put a movie on for us to watch better go

Beautiful Sunshine Coast

I took this morning I have been driving past here for the last week and finally remembered to take my camera today. It was a little overcast which was perfect so there are some clouds in the background.
I went to Sizzler to have lunch with my friend Karen, and her family. So funny to be there and hardly know any of the staff considering we both worked there for so long and haven't been gone that long. Ate way too much, still full now.

See ya Soon
Love Always

Good Morning

Well I had a fabulous day yesterday. Went to the Brisbane Quilt and Craft show at the Southbank Convention Center. Love that place!!!!! My friend Nikki had never been before and I loved her reaction when we walked in the door." Wow!! I didn't realize that it was this big!" So because it was her first time it made it even more exciting for me because she was excited.
We met the lovely GIGI from the Scrapbook City Store she did a couple of demonstrations, the one we watched was about making a mini book which was so cute. We also watched a demo. by Rachelle Minette which answered some questions I had about covering tins and other objects. Anyway we spent way too much money (I bought a Xyron 510 and some cartriges for it) and had a very long day of walking back and forth but loved every minute of it. When I got home I pulled out everything that I bought so I could show Mick and the boys and can you believe it I only bought 5 little embelishments for scrapbooking and everything else is an "off the page" project. Now I just have to do them, I will definately be posting some photos as soon as I have done them.
The boys all had fun too lots of boy food and motorbikes and watching car racing. Both of the boys were all flaked out by the time I got home.
I had better go and do some painting some stuff.

Scrap Challenges

I have got my scrap groove back!!!!
I questioned my hubby about if he was working on Thursday secretly hoping he wasn't so I could go to the Craft Fair with my sister and her Mum in law. He looked at me like "as if I wouldn't be working" and asked why, I put on my cute face (hahaha) and said just wondering, just in case you weren't working if I could go to the Fair with Donna. Then he let slip that he wasn't working all weekend, before he knew it I was on the phone to my friend organising our day to the Fair. He was just laughing and said I suppose Me and Shawn (partner of my scraping friend) will be having a Daddy Day Care Day. Yes indeedy!!!!!
I had already come to terms with not being able to go and now all I can think of is scrapping. LOVE IT! I have got three pages done this week in no time at all. For each page everything has just fallen together. I have been doing the challenges from Scrapboxx and Scrapbook City. Great challenges too.
Got to go and scrap now!!
Bye Bye

Bikes and Karate

Can you believe it I used up my internet mega bites again in just 12 days WHAT AM I DOING? to be using up so many megabytes? Well doesn't matter anyway cause I upgraded to 1GB so hopefully it wont happen too soon again.







My darling boys have had a very exciting week. SETHY learnt to ride his bike all by himself no training wheels yah!!!! SO EXCITING That was last Thursday and then this morning he jumped on the electric motorbike and rode it ALL BY HIMSELF!!!!!!!!!!! Now this is a little boy who up until a couple of weeks ago wouldn't even hop on the electric motorbike even if someone else was on it with him.





And Tristan got his yellow tip at Karate. I love it how he bows. So cute. Tristan thought it was very exciting that he got another certificate and some special yellow tape around his belt. As you can see Seth wanted some too. So hard to get a photo without him in it.

Everything else has been good. Lovely dinner cooked by Em on Monday night Thankyou my darling.

Now time to go to bed.

E Bay

I ordered a Karate outfit for my DS #1 through eBay yesterday as it was only $31 including postage I ordered it at about 1pm and paid the extra to get express delivery so he can have it for his next lesson thinking it would take a couple of days and I couldn't believe it when the posty arrived with it this morning at about 9.30am which if I had have ordered through the club it would have cost me $50 and taken a week to arrive. How cool is that I am still so surprised at how prompt the sellers were I know it is their business and it was probrobly just luck but wow I have never had a parcel delivered that quick. Cant wait to take heaps of photos of him in it next lesson cause he is getting his yellow tip. Very exciting for him he loves getting the certificates. Here is photo of him getting a certificate for trying hard. He was so happy he kept saying the whole way home - I won, Mummy, I won! So beautiful.

Feeling better about not making the design team, I got an email from my fav scraper Erica Glover and I was stoked that she would take the time to respond to a comment I left on her blog site. I know it is a big comp with only one spot and 100 women compeating for it. OVER IT.

Till next time

Love Always

Didn't make DT team

Well finally got the email to let me know who made it into the next round of the Scrapboxx Design Team and boohoo!! I didn't! So devestated but life goes on I just need to practice more. LOL




I have spent the last week painting and fixing up my DS #1 bed room I didn't realize what a big job I had set myself up for. Each wall took 3 or more coats of paint and then there is the set of draws and the shelves and the shadow box. So sick of painting but at least it is done now.

So one very big week end of painting, house work, mowing and gardening plus a visit to the annual Coolum Kite Festival and Sunday dinner at the inlaws with all of hubbys family and one very sleepless night with my darling son I am very buggered.

Morephotos to come next time
Love always

Scrapboxx Comp

I have been sweating on waiting to hear if I made it into the next round of the Scrapboxx Design Team only to recieve an email today to say that the haven't recieved my layout yet possible because of the internet problems that they have been having. I started stressing that I had sent it to the wrong address or hadn't added the attachments or something like that so I went into my sent emails folder to check and there it was all sent correctly on the 26th of september. I sent it all off again hopefully all good this time. Here I have been wondering why are they taking so long, when all along they didn't even get my email, to think I could have missed out and wouldn't have even known that they didn't get my entry. The suspense back to waiting again.

I HATE Bunnings. Hahaha went it to grab a couple of things this morning and of course forgot the lawnmower blades to match them up, one of the main things I went there to get. The other was paint for Tristans room. The last tin of paint I used I got from the markets for $10 suede Effects paint thinking a 4 litre tin would be plenty but the walls are so old they just soaked the paint straight in. The suede effects paint from Dulux is $74 for a 4 litre tin I knew it was expensive but didn't think it was that much. But one of the other brands had the same thing heaps cheaper and the colour didn't matter cause I wanted to go darker anyway. So then after a little walk around I found heaps of other things I needed unfortunately for my poor credit card.

Still trying to master the Adobe photoshop had another go the other day.

My speed is back to normal

Lets see how long it takes me to use it all up again.
Well I have been having a terrible time trying to get a cable to connect my mobile to the computer so I can upload my photos. I went into Tandy the other day and asked the guy behind the counter if they had any expecting the answer to be no, much to my surprise he said which one would you like. To me it was like striking gold i have been hunting in phone shops for ages. Got it home and loaded it all up after a couple of hours trying to get it to work I realized that it just wasn't going to work. Thinking it was too good to be true. I rang him and he told me to bring it all back and he would connect it to his laptop so we could work it all out. So after stuffing around for 1 hour I end up with a more expensive proper Nokia cord instead of the generic cheap version which is just not compatible with my phone (even though all of the packaging said it was). So here are some of the fab photos I have been dying to get.





Had so much fun this night!!!! My friend Emica and I went to a fashion parade to raise money for the local kindergarten.

I have been trying to plan our yearly holiday for the Gold Coast and last night Michael said to me "How about we go to Fraser Island?" I was so looking forward to going to the Goldy. Now I have to get prices and compare which will be better cause we have free tickets for Movie World.

Until next time (which souldn't be too long now everyting is faster)
Love Always
