A little something for you ....

-
Well today was another quiet one here at my place, the family is still away - but boy was it a hot and humid one, and apparently tomorrow will be worse - 34C!! YUCK! I will almost be glad to be at work tomorrow in the air-conditioning. I haven't done much around the place today, some washing of sheets and towels and I watched the last movie of The lord of the rings this afternoon. My all time favorite movie, ever ever! I still cry like a baby at the end - silly hey?

But I am really just popping in to let you know I have actually been a little productive over the last couple of days and I wanted to share my flurry of activity with you. Over at DST one of the Aussie girls let out a call for Summery desktops for January because lets face it people, all the lovely freebie ones are all sparkling and glistening with snowy prettiness, which while nice in the right setting, looks damn odd on a computer where the owner has a line of sweat rolling down her back while she creates LOL.

So Annette being the wonderful and motivated person that she is asked the CT to come up with some Summery goodness for all our Down Under kin and well, as I had nothing else to do, I stuck up my hand ROFL! As soon as I saw the Summery theme I thought of Sharon's fabulous Beach Play kit over @ Pickleberrypop. So off I went and here is the result: Umm did I mention it was free??


If you like it click on the image and it will take you to the PBP store where you can get it for free! How cool is that? I am so in love with the preview Annette made for it! Isn't it the most fab thing you have seen?? I am so excited, I never thought that I would ever see anything I created in a store, anyway enough gushing from me!

Talking of Sharon - have you been over to her Etsy store yet??


It is called Sugared Bling and there are some absolutely gorgeous earrings in there that have been made by Sharon and her talented daughter Tash. I have drooled over these earrings for a while now but one of my fabulous friends sent me a pair for Christmas which I love to bits (seriously woman I don't know how you knew!!!!). So if you are in the mood for some totally adorable handmade earrings head on over to Sharon's Sugared Bling, you will be glad you did!

Well it is still stinking hot here and I have a line of sweat rolling down my back but in a minute I will be looking at my lovely Summery Desktop (yes the preview image is the one that is on my computer too LOL) and hopefully feeling a bit cooler. If that doesn't work I am going to put on the air-con in my bed room and head off early tonight - so ta ta from me!

I got me some Sugared Bling too. I wonder if your fabulous friend was the same as my fabulous friend, because I got a surprise package in the mail too, ROFL. Happy New Year to you dear friend, looking forward to another year of blogging and sharing in your family exploits via this medium. :D

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...
