Bad Blogger

I am a bad blogger... I was never able to keep a journal either lol ah well will get in here whenever I can

Been so busy with work have just finished 7 days and had today off which was nice

We have been so busy with birthdays and confirmations and work I haven't had much time for scrapping which is a bummer

Although I have finally finished a mini car book (maya road) for scrapbook n bits which I will be sending to Karen tomorrow you should see it on the site soon hopefully

I joined a cj with scrap with v and sent that on Friday so hopefully will recieve the next one to do soon

I went to Fionas yesterday and got the car book finished and started another page which I finished off tonight will scan it and put it up later well probably tomorrow lol

I am sitting here typing and listening to Gork snoring I am so not looking forward to going to bed as I no I won't be able to sleep listening to that!!!

Selena and the kids came and visited me at work on Friday which was nice I gave Amy a choccie biscuit which kept her still for a few minutes lol and Matthew was so excited he had a new train I don't think there will be anymore room for him in his room with all the trains he has lol

Wednesday night we have a work function on so that should be interesting I will get to meet alot of the girls I talk to on the phone which will be nice and catch up with Laila too

Well thats it from me for now I will try and update a bit more regulary (I said try) lol

Challenges

I love challenges cause it makes me scrap here are 2 I have just finished over at Scrap with V


This is a Becky Fleck Sketch (I love her sketches) I especially love this as it has paisley lol




The colours didn't scan so good don't no why?!?!















This is a "getting to know you" challenge where we had to write 10 to 20 things about ourselves and use 5 or more of our favourite products.

Mine is written on the tags that are sticking out the side they say-

I love everything to do with Christmas... I HATE spiders they make me shiver... I am very critical of everything I do... I would love to wear the latest fashion but feel I am to old and overweight... I love cooking... I was born with brown eyes... I have a serious addiction to scrapbook shopping... I am very sensitive... I totally enjoy going away but love coming home more... My favourite colours are red and yellow and any colours they make... When I was young I wanted 10 kids (what was I thinking lol)... I love reading... I am amazed I used such a large photo of myself, this is so confronting. I have picked at all the flaws and have not seen anything good (p.s. Gork loves the photo!)

I now have a little chipboard car book I have to get done for Scrapbook n Bits so best get off and it

School Holidays

I can't believe we are in the second week of the holidays already only a couple more sleep ins before we get back into the routine again

Natalii went to the movies today with her gf's was a bit worried as they were unaccompanied just the 6 girls and that was it !!!!! She rang as soon as she got home so I knew she was safe.

Jack went to Aunty Darija's which he loves doing and had lots of fun there "but Ivana didn't get out of bed for a looonnggg time Mum" was what he told me when I asked if he had fun lol

He is off to mum's in the morning and then the 2 of them will go on Wednesday and stay over so I don't have to get them up too early on Thursday, she is going shopping with them again so they will have fun wish I was going lol

Gork is still not sure about my hair lol I like it so that's all that matters hey lol

Might try and scrap in the morning depends on whether I sleep in or not (or should I say whether Jack lets me sleep in)

I have a couple of challanges to get done so best get moving

Ah well that's it for today

Am working tomorrow hopefully it will go fast it's only 4 hours but it drags

We are going out for dinner with Rohan and Mel and the kids to the Roxburgh Park Hotel so I don't have to cook

Jack is playing a game on the puter and it is making a squeak so its like its talking to the bird each time the computer makes a noise the bird talks back hahahha

Am hoping to get some scrapping done this week and try to get to the gym

Well best go the visitors will be here soon

Hello

I am back after a very long break lol well really should say have been slack lol

Lots has been happening good and bad - all fixable

My shop has been closed for about 2 months now and life has just gone on like it never existed well that is except for the friends I have made and all the stuff that is pile up in the garage lol

Have been going to the gym and really enjoying it started back with the slim coach today and hopefully will lose some more weight (17kg already)

Started a new job with Smokemart/Giftbox at Northlands working 6 days there the manager is lovely and we get along great it gets a bit boring though when she goes home no one to talk too lol

I did 6 weeks training in the city which was a weird thing I haven't worked in the city for over 14 years so cathcing the train was bit strange the first time. Was great got to read lots travelling in and out hated the delays and cancellations though. The girls in the city are a laugh and half and I really miss them.

Have been scrapping up a storm catching up on what I didn't do when I had the shop. Tried out for a design team at scrapbook n Bits but didn't get in but then Karen asked me to come in and do quick and easy pages for the customers to do so I was very excited then I got an email from one of the girls that did the class that I had to do for the dt try out and asked if I was interested in joining the dt she was on (she said she loves my work) so of course I said yes and was walking around with a fat head for a few days lol

I havent officially started either one yet although I have done the layout for Scrap With V - as soon as I got the pizza box I did the layout lol finished it that night and posted her the instructions and a pic of it which she liked (thank god) lol

Well thats it for me for now am going to bed kids are at mums for the night so its very quiet around here well except for Gork snoring on the couch lol

Another Share...

This is the album I made for my firend Melinda who's baby was born 15 weeks prem I had been looking around for something nice to give but she alrady has Ella so any clothes or dolls etc where not needed as she would have plenty
So when one of my custmoners came in and told me how she makes timber albums for people I thought that's it that's what I will give them

So I asked Muriel to make me one but she said she woudl only do the timber part of it and I had to decorate lol so this is what I finally came up with after several attempts at different paper (it kept going wrong) It hapens to be one of Melindas favourite papers which was lucky. She was wrpat and loved so that was good. One of the other girls loved it so much she wanted a canvas of it so I did it for her lol

This layout I did on Saturday and I am really pleased with the way it turned out I have seen lots of doodling on pages in magazines and online and thought nah that's not for me but then I tried it and WOW now I'm hooked

The pp is a Kelly Pannacci paper that has these flowers all over it but I liked the look of them on the black bazzill so I cut them all out

The journalling reads I can't beleive you are almostv 13!! Where did my little girl go :(

I took Ivana and Natalii to DFO yesterday OH MY Goodness we walked around 3 times and our legs were very tired by the end lol the girls saw heaps of clothes and shoes they loved I was a bit dissappointed that there were no larger sized clothing shops there but never mind I got a groovy hand bag and purse instead looks a bit like the paper actually lol

Ivana got her swishy pants lol and some tops and a pair of runners and Natalii got a couple of singlets and a pair of runners We had so much fun with lots of laughs ( nearly wet me pants several times) lol
