Wow, I thought that I had better dust of the cobwebs in here and give it once over :). Sorry about being away but ... actually I have no reasonable excuse LOL. I've been so busy with , well life that the blog has disappeared under a lot of dust. So what has been happening? Not a lot really, just work, and housework, and family and a little bit of scrapping snuck in every now and then. I have not had a lot of time for creatively and quiet honestly I have felt very ummmm stuffy?, stilted? Dead creatively? Not sure if that makes sense I guess but I'm trying to say that creating has been a bit of a chore for me recently.

But today I woke up feeling heaps more motivated and I managed to finish a couple of LOs that I am pretty happy with :). It doesn't hurt that Natalie is cranking out some truely amazing stuffat the moment to help with the old slow mojo!

So here are a couple of pages from me :

Now my friend Deb quizzed me on my {inter}National Scrapbooking Day purchases and so I will give you a quick run down on my megre purchases. Ok it was a quiet one for me but I managed to pick up Ksharonk's fab grab bag, Kaye Winiecki's paper cuts set 1 and paper cuts alpha, Faith True's Grab Bag, Victoria Feemster's Grab bag and also a great kit from Faith True called Enchanted Rainforest which was just lovely! And that was it! A pretty quiet one compared to many other people's I'm sure LOL. So there Deb, I have spilled lmao!

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 ...

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...

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...
