Ummmmm Hello there everyone *grin*

-
I have been neglecting my poor old blog for a while. I don't really have a very good excuse except life got in the way. I started back at work two weeks ago and the change in routine has thrown me for a six when it comes to my computer time. Hopefully I will get myself sorted out soon hahahha.....

So work is going ok, it isn't the job of my dreams but it pays the mortgage and thats all that matters I guess. The people I work with seem very nice and friendly so it isn't a hardship going to work. I have let the housework go a bit recently mainly because my only days off have been over Easter and we went away.

Before we left Brisabne though we had our traditional Easter brunch with our friends the M's and it was sooooo nice to catch up and chat over a lovely cooked brunch followed by fruit and chocolate eggs.

Straight after our lovely brunch we trotted off to Hervey Bay to vist hubby's family. The traffic leaving Brisbane was a nightmare and this is a pic I took out the front windscreen of the our car!
It's a bit hard to see but cars are snaking up the freeway in front of us for miles!

It was great to see how well my Father in Law is looking, he is still very thin but he is getting stronger and feeling healthier each day. The girls got way too many eggs as usual!

Tasha with her little Easter Chickie - I really have to stop taking pics in front of my MIL's windows LOL - tooo bright!!



My Bella girl!


The girls had a nice time even though it rained. We did get to take them to the beach in between the rain and even though the tide was out they had a great time as you can see!



The trip back to Brisbane on Easter Monday was pretty much a carpark from the top of the Sunshine Coast back to our place but we just listened to music and chatted so it wasn't tooooo hideous. It was slow though and we did pass a poor lady who had rolled her car but thankfully she didn't seem too hurt and the ambulance was arriving as we passed. Luckily that was the only accident that we saw. That isn't saying people were driving safely but we were all going too slowly to crash LOL

So anyway I have been trying to scrap when I can, mainly for ADSR (yes Natalie and I are still in the race LOL). So here are a few recent LOs from ADSR.

This is ADSR #5 - Interview with an Inanimate Object! I chose my Fuji LOL

ADSR #6 - Was a scraptwist of one of our partners LOs - if you want to see the super cool one of Nat's that I picked, you can click on the credits down below and it has the original LO there!

ADSR #7 - was using ALOT of stuff all from the one designer and of course I chose Natalie LOL. This was a really hard challenge putting ALL that stuff on it hahahaha

Credits here

ADSR #8 - A travel page with only B&W photos and no travel elements or paper

Credits here

And last but not least here is my ADSR #9 page! It's an Altered Art page - Altered Art isn't something I have conciously tried before and I actually found it really challenging! I used an ATC template for this one as I have never done an ATC before and thought I would give it a go.

Well thanks for sticking with me for this amazing long post again. I hope to have more of a routine happening at home this next week and I will have more time for my beloved computer, so 'till then it's ta ta from me!

Glad to see you back, yay! And I reckon any break is a good break - even if it does involve poor weather and traffic.

Your layouts, what can I say girl, SUPERB !!!! Love how you've done the SERIOUS title (must admit love that stamped alpha, I've used it often). As for the kitty one, you just will know that's my favourite, LOL. And funny journalling from the camera, ROFL.

Well I have made a start on my first resolution and I have been taking my photo-a-day. I am probably only going to post on Sundays though because it is a bit of a pain uploading the photos daily blah blah blah so I thought that once a week is plenty. It's pretty quiet here on Sundays so I am hoping that this will be a good time to post the weeks photos. I am going to use the gorgeous photo frames from Deb's fabulous 365 Challenge over at Pickleberrypop - if you like them you can get them too by going here or clicking on the image :) So here are my first four days for my Project 365 - I hope I can make the distance this time. As to the other parts of my new Years resolutions I have to say i am off to a pretty good start there too. I spent some time on the phone to one of my girlfriends which resulted in me going out to see the Twilight movie with her for a nice girls time (with our eldest girls but that is ok). I LOVED the movie and I really can't wait for the rest of them ...

Ok so I MEANT to come back and post last weeks photos but I guess I forgot LOL. I jumped on here today to do some posting about my scrapping and thought opppps I'm a bit behind! hahaha oh well I put my photos on a LO again so here you are - April 13 through to April 19. Credits - DebF - Year in Review template and everything else from ksharonk designs. Now I have been doing a bit of CT scrapping over the last week and I would love to share my pages with you. Sharon had put the delicious kit Sophisticate in the PBP store last Friday and I couldn't wait to use it. The papers are so yummy and the kit is very elegant! Baby's got the bluest eyes Credits here We asked and she delivered - Dawn made some fabulous doodled page borders with some handy notebook style papers for us to play with after one of the CT girls made a request for them. The pack is called Daydreamer and you can get it here from the PBP store. They are so much fun and I had a great time making this page - cho...

ADSR Week 2

YAY I have finished this weeks challenge nice and early this time, mainly because I am off work and also because I will be away down the Coast for a few days from Saturday so I was trying to clear my to-do list before I start packing. Luckily for me my wonderful hubby has arranged for me to have limited internet access while we are away so I won't miss any of my challenges so as long as we keep getting checked off we will be eligible to go in the draw for the grand prize. Deb and I had decided that the prize didn't matter it was the race that matters most but we both (I think) breathed a sigh of relief when hubby said he could fix it for me to keep racing ROFL! So here are this week's ADSR pages... Challenge 3 was from Gotta Pixel and it involved finding the first LO you have uploaded into a gallery and re-do it, using the same photo and the same text. I re-did the first LO in my DST gallery Baby Mine and here is my new page - Baby Mine Credits here Challenge 4 was a fair...
