{Just been playing

Just a couple of LOs to share, i did this first one for Nics weekly challenge at scrapboxx, use some ribbon scraps and hearts, and this second one i did for just a little play love just cre8ing for the fun of it, sometimes i think i could play scrappin all day, although its not a game i just love to get messy and find something finished at the end.

Ive always though to myself, (i love Ericas work just so simple and plain but always speaking volumns to the readers,) your a simple scrapper, which in a way i am, but ive just discovered Emliy Fs blog awhile ago now and she is really inspiring me, im loving the fiun of just playing and seeing what i create out of it, i used to think her work was just junk on a page (sorry Emily) but its not its so much more than that she creates for her to have a legacy for her family and i think its beautiful, that she is so passionate about her work and creating that she sets a special time each week just to get crearive even if she doesnt really make a page as such ,it gets your juices flowing and reminds you why you started to keep a legacy of memories for our children, and their children and then , theirs. So go get messy and just play for a day you might be surprised what you come up with... i know i was

THE LOVES OF MY HEART

PICKING SPRING

{Elsie Challenges and a bit of rambling too

Okay so im getting caught up no more half finished LO that will sit around for weeks finish these LOs girl and get it down, because as Ali Edwards will say ITS OKAY, just do it, i learnt alot from her in August not to be so worried what anyone thinks of my work, its mine and they dont have to like it its for me and my family, so there

Challenge 1: Make your own clear flower embellishments

Challenge 2: Choose a word or two words and repeat them on your LO

Challenge 3: Make it Sparkle add a little Bling

Challenge 4: Scraplift a colour combo

i havent really completed this challenge no 4 as i am really willing to use most/all colours on a LO havent seen one that id like to try,hmm maybe ill come back to this one

Challenge 5: Start with a number - make a top 10 list, look for number-themed accents to build your page around. Build a page around a phone number, shoe size, an age, a year or even a good luck number

{Back in the swing

Well today we all had to get back to some sort of routine, Pauls gone back to work although im not sure how much longer he will be working in the area, he got a big job to do on the Northside of Brissy and well probably go and stay for a month or so up there, it just is too far to drive three hours to work let alone drive home again hes stuffed and the boys are in bed already it hardly feels like hes here and we go through a ton of petrol which isnt go ATM with the prices the way they are...

Ive also been busy tring to do some scrappin' and cant seem to stop using these scalloped edge borders on my pages i really think that KIM Archer (not sure how to link it) really does this well for a variety of topics , her LOs are so easy to lift (sorry Kim) to some degree, as you could do your pages on aq variety of topics. The first one is of Jack, Blake didnt want anything to do with Santa hats or Reindeer Ears this year maybe next year...
and the second one is of my lovely niece Amber and Jack when she was going home from coming to visit on the school holidays...

CHRISTMAS PHOTO SHOOT

YOU

Well im off to take the boys to tyhe Beach and hopefully theyll come home tired so i can do some scrappin.. fingers crossed

{1st Day at School OMG

Well little Blake had his first day at Preschool today, i was so emotional at the beginging and then finally composed myself to take a few photos of the little man before we left. Apparently he was fine i went and got him at 11:30 just so he only had a half day and he was almost about to fall asleep eating his lunch, how cute?? As soon as he saw me he waqs wide awake again and didnt drift of for asleep at all theat arvo he was making sure i wasnt leaving him again i think.

He was so happy to go back and get Jack in the Afternoon he didnt want to leave agian, so he will probably go for the whole day next week. Heres the photos i took before we left...

In the morning i got to do some scrappin and went for al ittle shop but i still didnt get anything finshed, hmmmm not happy about that, so im trying tomorrow to actually finish a page

Till next time...

{Been Scrappin'

Not much happening here other than going to the beach and just relaxing, i really love Summer its such a family time of the year and with that being one of my resolutions for the year (to spend more time with them) i love it plus we live right across the road which makes it a little easier to access the beach and come home whenever we're sick of it..

Just a couple LOs to share not much scrappin going on here yet still in the lazy Chrissy mode hopefully will get back into the swing of things soon....

BACKYARD FUN - Between a boy and his dog

SPIN - PLAY HARD

and thats all folks... til next time

KEEP SMILLING GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT....

{Well here we go 2007

ive decided im gonna start to blog so i can keep a track of all my LOs and get a little more oganised,hmm well keep a track of all of my LOs thats the poiunt of it, maybe i might even remember to put down in here the photos ive taken so i remember when i took them, hmm that probably wont happen either but its here now and looks like its gonna stay, so there!!
It will take me weeks to learn how to organise this thing so i probably wont have many LOs to share at the begining byut hopefully it wont take too long.
Oh and just a quick note SPELLING IS NOT MY STRONG POINT and i dont care so please refrain from telling me ive spelt things incorrectly cause i know LOL...
