Addicted to Books & Digiscrapping

Well maybe not suck but I certainly am a bad blogger, photographer and scrapper. It's a good thing I'm still doing an ok job as wife and mother or I would be out on the streets by now lmao! I don't know what is wrong with me at them moment. I haven't blogged in a while and that is probably because I haven't been doing my photos and I have felt guilty I guess. Well no more.... I shall not beat myself up if I don't take my photos each day - it is really hard to do and now the kids have taken to running away when I grab the camera LOL. So I am going to post as many photos as I comfortably can - ahhh I feel better already. So maybe I shouldn't call it Project 365 anymore........ how about "photos when I remember"??? I do actually have some scrapping news after all.... ADSR Season three kicked off on Sunday and Natalie and I have finished our LOs already and they are posted and checked by admin! Yehaaaah! I really enjoyed the first Challenge - it was a...

I might start off with a couple of LO's first because all I seem to do these days is post photos LOL. I used Natalie's fantastic kit Home Sweet Home kit for this family LO. I love the colours and I am really happy with how it turned out :) Family Credits here This is my LO for the last Pickle Jar Challenge over at Pickleberry Pop - I was really reluctant to use red and blue together but hey... those were the rules for the challenge so I gave it a go! Love Credits here And THIS LO was for the Designs in Digital Blog Challenge "Scrap-it-for-me" hosted by the delightful Shannon. She asked us to scrap a photo of her little man Coen as she was having trouble scrapping with it LOL. It is a gorgeous photo and I loved scrapping it for Shannon! Coen Credits here Well thanks for looking at my LOs - I appreciate it :) And now for Project 365 lol Feb 13 I know I have shown you pictures of my puss in a pot before but this time she has flowers growing out of her butt LOL! Feb 1...

Well hello there, I'm surprising myself a bit by posting now but after the last marathon post I said to myself "Self! Let's not do that to ourselves again, that took TOO long!" lmao! So here I am posting my recent photos - Feb 10 Our old lawn mower is getting a real work out these days, with more rain forecast! Feb 11 Ahhh the sweet feeling of order! First thing in the morning, hats ready, lunches made, school ports packed, and homework folders stacked neatly, all waiting for 8.15am! Feb 12 Rain drops on the clothes line! OK some people might think that I am obssessing on the rain but when you haven't seen this much of it in YEARS the novelty might take a little while to wear off! Mind you, I did get rather wet on our way up to school this morning and I wasn't feeling very thrilled then LOL

I really have to get myself a bit more organised with this I think! I keep missing my own deadlines and stressing myself out LOL. Oh well I guess I'm not working at the moment so I have to have something to stress about don't I hahahaha. Anyway I thought I had better catch up on my photos. They aren't terribly exciting , but then again, my life isn't all that exciting LMAO! Feb 1 Hmmm I do love a glass every now and then LOL Feb 2 Another one of the lovely garden spiders in my yard. Feb 3 The recent rain has made my pink Bottle Brush flower beautifully. Feb 4 Rain drops on red leaves and whiskers on kittens ..... Feb 5 Abandoned Ball - look at the colour of our grass! Doesn't look very drought striken at the moment does it? Feb 6 Puss in Pot - my silly cat loves to sit in the plant pots on the front veranda and look out at the world. Feb 7 I was fiddling with this sunset on clouds in lightroom - I like it lol Feb 8 Chelsea just loves me - especially after dinner! Fe...

I have to admit I am not overly thrilled with some of these photos but these are the best of a bad bunch! I think I might have murdered my photo mojo while I was on holidays because I feel so uninspired to take photos at the moment *sigh*. Anyway here you are - my project 365 photos up to the end of January (missing a day LOL). I hope that I will get a bit more enthused for Feb's pics. Jan 27 - I was attracted by the glorious colours in my garden today. Jan 28 - Chelsea letting Tasha pat her :) Jan 29 - nada! Jan 30 - Oh the wonderful falling rain! Jan 31 - My flag & Chimes out on the front veranda Anyway thanks for looking and ta-ta from me for today, I'll do the rest tomorrow :)

Sorry I was being silly *smile* So I have some pretty BIG NEWS !!! I am so pleased to announce that the wonderful, talented and enthusiastic Natalie Bird is now the proud owner of Designs in Digital Yippeeeee!!!! She is so excited and is totally committed to making DID a stand-out success! I plan to help her in my own small way as much as I can! Seriously, I have been a member of DID ever since I first stumbled onto digi-scrapping back in 2006 and it has always been a friendly, welcoming place, so I can assure you that when the opportunity came up to become more involved in the workings of the site I jumped at the chance - so there you have it - I am now Odd Job Girl at DID and I couldn't be happier! Oh and check out the new banner, isn't it BEAUTIFUL!!! So one of my first big jobs was to host a Challenge LOL! So if you are feeling in the need for some major mojo moving come on over to DID and have a go at my Do-Over Challenge . We are taking out our old LOs, dusting off the c...

How did it get to be Tuesday so fast? One minute it was Friday and then BAM - it's Tuesday! It's very strange and now I am so behind on my posting it's not funny! On the plus side I have been VERY slack with my 365 photos so I haven't got a lot to post about hahahaha! On the home front, the girls have returned to school (horray!) and while Natasha's initial enthusiasm for Grade 1 has waned slightly, they are both happy to be back with their friends. Tasha thinks her teacher is the best teacher in the WHOLE world, and Bella loves her class and her new teacher is the totally awesome (apparently) Mr M&M (as the kids are calling the poor man). The funniest thing is that they are straight into homework and activities and the kids - especially Tasha! - are NOT impressed LOL! Oh and here are my cuties on their first day back at school! Don't they look so grown up *sniff*? Here is Tasha in her Grade 1 classroom all ready to go before the gloss wore off LOL! I love ...
