Hello World!

-
Oh wow what an incredibly awful and yet wonderful week I have just had! Sounds confusing? Well it is a bit I guess LOL. The awful part was the gross bout of tonsillitis that I experienced in the last week that I am (thankfully) recovering from now – thank heavens for the wonder of modern medicine and those fabulous antibiotics LOL. Lucky the old tonsil’s didn’t abscess and I am now out of the worst part – yippee! But of course during my period of ill health the family went to hell in a hand-basket and the house now looks like a cluster bomb has exploded in it! So what is so wonderful about having tonsillitis at your age?? I hear you ask! Well actually nothing! Nothing at all!

As usual scrapping provides me with the most wonderful moments in my life (outside of the kids, hubby and my friends of course!!!). Natalie surprised my little cotton socks off by using one of my Los in the DST insider to highlight her gorgeous kit The Valley! Now I can’t tell you how exciting that is for me, it is the closest that I will ever get to being famous in the scrapping world and I was just tickled pink that Natalie likes that page! So if anyone has access to a copy of the DST insider, there I am on page 13, well my “I Promise” LO is anyway LOL! Such a thrill.

And because I was so happy, both to be featured AND to be rid of the dreaded lurgie I decided to create a desktop for June using Natalie’s gorgeous Vogue Collection Part 1 (after running it past Nat of course to give away as my very first EVER blog freebie here!!) – oh and I used the delightful Kylie Clark’s squished alpha brush too – very cool!!

If you are interested HERE is the link and it contains two sizes of Desktop ummm 1024 x 768 and 1280 x 1024, enjoy! I hope you enjoy my first attempt and let me know if you like it and I MIGHT make another one for July LOL! Of course the freebie doesn't have the way cute photo of my cat in it LOL!!

Well anyway, I had better run along as while I am loads better I am still really tired by the end of the day. I really just wanted to pop in and blow my own horn for a little bit LOL! So ta ta for now! Hugs

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...
