Project 365 - 30 Mar - 5 Apr

-
Another week shuffles by and I am still clinging to the project by the skin of my teeth lol. As you will see from my photos this week there was a bit of a theme that hasn't been there much before - RAIN! Yes we had a few days of rain in Brisbane this week which is really exciting as our dams are now at 50% capacity which means water restrictions will be eased. Now that isn't saying I am all that happy about water restrictions being eased because I'm not really - I mean lets face it, we have had these tough water restrictions in place for a while now and we are all used to them. So it doesn't make much sense to me to ease them UNTIL our dams at 60 or 70%! Anywaaaay thats just my humble opinion!

Ok here are last weeks photos:

Day 89
My Monday chore is doing the shopping for the week. I don't mind really, it's nice to shop without the kids loudly demanding every sugar laden consumable ever created! Also the shops are usually pretty quiet which is great so I don't have to "play ram the shopping trolly"

Day 90
The view out my back door today was of a drizzly day and the streaks were raindrops! Sadly this was as good as I could get them LOL - but I am thrilled to see the grass and plants responding so quickly!

Day 91
I looked at this sitting in my lounge room and I was wondering aloud how long it has been since somebody played it - it's been over two months!!! Strangely once I mentioned giving it away to someone who might actually use it the girls have been playing it every spare minute of the since ROFL - from drought to flood in once quick sentence!

Day 92
It still is more grainier than I would have liked but I had to include this picture of a rain drop dripping from our awnings! It took a fair amount of patience to get this shot against the grey sky.

Day 93
Dear me this week is filled with shocking photos with poor lighting and bad colour and this is no exeption. I took the girls to the local shopping center to get some groceries and I thought I would treat tehm to a milkshake each. Tash looked so cute with the ice cream on her lip and that smug "I got a milkshake" smile that I whipped out my old point and shot and well.... shot LOL. Note to self - the colour is shocking hahahaha

Day 94
My beautiful girl is always willing to put on a slightly forced smile for her Mum when she has the camera in her hand - love you hun!

Day 95
There is a definite "what you looking at" moment going on here - Chelsea is looking a bit intense and wild in this photo - but I know she is really a lazy old girl who was probably wondering why I wasn't running upstairs to feed her rofl!

Ok that's all from me for tonight - later!

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...
