slack!

hello to all my hoard of readers, not! anyhoo I have been as slack as, or as I like to think - busy as!

I have not blogged in sooooo long its a wonder my poor little blog can stand the attention.

I have been away four weekends in a row,

week 1 was my gorgeous girlyfriends island getaway for her 40th birthday

week 2 we tripped off to warragul and I spent some great time with Marie (from Simply Said) and also family

week 3 dear hubby and I went away sans kids for a romantic weekend in marysville, compliments of winning a competition at my work

week 4 (last weekend) I just got back from the most wonderful scrapbooking retreat with all my talented and drunk friends, or is that just me???

PHEW

I have been slowly chipping away at my soulology project, well I am 3 pages behind... but anyway it is soooo much fun and inspiring, I have joined so many talented ladies in our endeavour to actually search our souls quite deeply and scrap US!!! not kids, not dogs, not partners, not holidays. It has fired me up!

I will post a piccie of my first two weeks when I get a chance.

This is the talented woman who running the course - check her out - erica martin, she is one funky chicky scrapper go here... http://stampinmama.typepad.com/

I also love that she is a stampin up consultant, love my stamps - the quality cant be matched.

Enough rambles for today I will post up 2 piccies of my yummy son at his playgroup.

Cheers for now - artsy fartsy mumma

whats happening

Well the HAWKS won the grand final and it was a fantastic game of footy! Our house was full of great friends/family, booze, screaming and absolute drunkeness... and that was just the kids! LOL.. just kidding.

Scrap wise - my area had to be packed up and shoved in my back scrap room, not good really I dont walk past and see some little something that catches my eye that gets me wanting to do a layout asap.

I got photos taken recently on a visit to the country (where hubby grew up) my dear scrappy friend Nic took some absolutely gorgeous pirate piccies, this is the start of her photographic career, let me tell you she rocks! I love her eye for detail. Please go to just like heaven blog if you are in Victoria and need some gorgeous family or kiddy pics taken.

I have not been enjoying the school holidays, I can never think of how to entertain the kids, and even when I do, they always want more!

I have posted a few photos of my family, they are my loves and my life.

scrappin

Hello all
Have been as slack as - no posts lately, seems life is just slipping by, not for my scrapbooking though, have been creating like mad!

Will put up my pix of my layouts for all to see.

Also did a groovy off the page wooden monogram for my dear friend Lisa who turned 30 last week. Came out noice!

In sickness and health

My Hubby is certainly living up to his vows, he has been an absolute honey while I have been stuck in bed sick as a dog.

Onto happy things... I went to a scrapping retreat the weekend just past (last week) and it was fun and so good to just put all my scrap stuff out and create, not to mention good ol shopping with Paula. Visited Scrappy Hollow in croydon on the way there for the 1st time and that place rocks! It has such cool stuff, I am going there again (with a full wallet *wink*).

The creative juices have been flowing even in my dillusional state of sleep and more sleep coupled with codral tabs, I have been so enthused to create layouts, will post them when I get home from work.

Happy creating everyone. A F Mumma

Choir Girl!

newsflash!!!!! My DD Indy got an acceptance letter today from her audition with the Australian Childrens Choir!!! How excitement. My little angel has been singing (on the toilet and in the shower) since she was a wee 2 year old... she has an angelic voice if she thinks no one is listening.

Will post more details as they come to hand, ahhhh I can see another scrapbook layout or 100 of her singing up a storm.

Sweet dreams x

Bon Jovi Rocks

For a long time now I have been teaching my now 3 year old son to say "Bon Jovi rocks" much to his fathers distaste... we have differing opinions about music to say the least. Anyhoo I had to post this from Supernatural's final ep. LMAO

heidi is coming

well the rush was on this morning to get registered for Create 08 with Heidi Swapp in december. I am crossing my fingers that my 9.01 finish time got us in. Having meet Heidi at an inspiration convention in 2004 I am very excited to once again join her for classes, she is one talented lady, plus she loves pink!

Have been frantically trying to find old 35mm camera photos from the 2004 event but to no avail, shall not spend my WHOLE day (kidless) looking for pix, although if I was ORGANISED, then it wouldnt been so hard, ah well another life!

Will be scrapping tonight with my dear friend Sam (pictured above), and after a few reds I am sure that the scrapping will be faster and easier LOL.

Have been going crazy with my DLSR and have finally actually printed out some pix at Harvey Norman, so more to scrap, loving my camera, the pix are very spec. I am attaching a pic of Sam and I which WASNT taken with my nikon but with my panasonic point and shoot camera on the night we saw Batman movie at Crown gold class.

Better move my buttocks and actually do something constructive here today - read: boring.
