headaches and scrapping

-
Its been a rotten sinus-y week here at my place with headaches and a doctors visit being the highlights and then antibiotics to finish the yucky week off with a bang. Finally on day four of the antibiotics I am starting to feel like myself so I'm a happy camper at last! Needless to say headaches are NOT conducive to creative exploits and my scrapping has suffered accordingly BUT I did manage to whip up some pages before I went down like a ton of bricks and I will share them with you now *grin*.

This is my page for The Lilypad's April Product Challenge - mist. I used some retiring goodies from Emily Merritt and Valorie Wibben's Topography No. 9 (also retiring THIS weekend!) and Kaye Winiecki's lovely Mist and Paint.

 This is a page I created using Renne's new kit For the Record available at OScraps! I had fun reminiscing about my 80s heart throb Rick Astley! 

Remembering Rick

Talking about retiring goodies don't forget to head over to The Lilypad to check out all the lovely stuff that is leaving the store forever ... sale finished Sunday 21st April!

And look at the lovely collaboration Kaye made with Studio Basic called Then and Now! Love it! It is definitely on my to be scrapped with list!

Then and Now


During the course of this gross sinus-y week I discovered that one way to distract myself from the headaches was to read .. fun I know but there was something about concentrating on a good book that helped me get through.  I read this very amusing book by  Jessica Grey called Attempting Elizabeth - the main character can drop herself into her favourite Jane Austen novel Pride and Prejudice. During the course of the novel she  learns a lot about herself and finds the man of her dreams, her Mr Darcy. A lovely light and fluffy book that made me smile!

Attempting Elizabeth

Then as a nice birthday treat to me I bought myself the latest Kim Harrison The Hallows series novel .. Ever After. I do love this series, Rachel is such a kick-ass kind of girl, both brash and insecure. She is a lovable and funny character and just seems to fall head long into trouble each and every book! An other exciting read from Kim Harrison!

Ever After

Well I think that is all from me for the day as I have stuff to do and pages to scrap! I can't believe I managed to post again so soon and I know that Miss Carol will faint away in shock after seeing ANOTHER post from me hehe. Byeeeee

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...
