Addicted to Books & Digiscrapping

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...

I've been a bit slack about posting this last week sorry but I have been recovering from a busy busy FUN busy Easter weekend and I just wasn't in a blogging mood. But I thought I had better catch up before another week over took me and I fall incredibly behind in my project posting. I hope you don't mind - I took a leaf out of my pal Carol's book and put my photos for the past week into a page rather than post them all individually - so here you have my week in review for the period April 6 to April 12. Everything - including the Photo-a-day template - comes from the talented Deb Fisher . I haven't posted it anywhere but here and i probably won't because I am feeling very lazy :) I alluded to the fact in the post title that there was a birthday over the Easter weekend - yes it was mine, I am now a year older and hopefully a little wiser. I had a lovely day and I was spoilt rotten by everyone. My lovely MIL cooked my favorite meals for me and I was bathed in lov...

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...

I decided my blog needed a bit of a face lift - sooooo tada! Here is my new blog banner - yep that's all I did!! Oh I did change my clock too! I used that cute alpha of Bren Boone's and if you like it you can still get it at DSA in the Freebies section here . I did kind of cheat off DSA because DSA's site header looks so nice - I wanted to have my own LOL. BUT I honestly can NOT be bothered doing anything fancier on my blog like those gorgeous background pages and stuff - I mean I like to look at them but I can't be stuffed doing one on here. Plus I kind of like the clean look of the white background especially while I am doing my Project 365 LOL.

Yes I have been doing a bit of scrapping last week - I think I am all scrapped out right now but I do have a thought for another page bubbling away in the back of my mind LOL so maybe I can squeeze another one out today some time haha! Ok where to start? Ummm how about I start with the pages that I made for the great new April Challenges available at Pickleberrypop right now? Right then - first up we have a fabulous Scraplift Challenge where we have been challenged by our talented CT member Cass to lift a page from one of my bestest bloggy pals and super scrapping wonder woman Carollee (who Deb and I both want to be when we grow up LOL) - participants in this challenge go in to the draw to win a $10 GC to the Pickleberrypop Store!! Here is the page that I made to advertise the challenge - You are my everything Credits here I lifted Carol's adorable Love Reigns page Credits here The other challenge we have at PBP this month is our fun White Space Challenge hosted by the lovely ...

It still freaks me out that I am still going with this project - and even my family are starting to get interested in what I am doing and are becoming more than unwilling victims of my paparazzi attacks they are even suggesting things for me to photograph. The biggest shock came from hubby when he said today that I should take a photo once a week of each of our faces so that we can have a record of how our faces change over the course of a year. I think that this interest from him has a lot to do with the fact that he is on the diet with me and I have been telling him how much slimmer his face is looking ROFL. So next week you may very well see (in addition to my project photos) a photo of the four of us - should be fun! Ok enough blabbering - on to the project photos for last week! Day 82 Bella knows that there is no point asking Mum to help her with her maths homework - unless I can have my calculator there next to I am frankly less than useless! Luckily Dad came home from work earl...

Yes well time certainly got away from me this last fortnight and I completely spaced about posting my photos. That's not to say that I haven't been taking them every day, because I have - faithfully. I'm just having a bit of trouble remembering about posting them LOL. Anyway here is my catch up from last week and I will post THIS weeks tomorrow, I sort of promise LOL Day 75 Today my big girl flew to Canberra with all the other Year Seven's of her school. We had to be at the school at 6am and that is why my photo isn't very good - it has NOTHING to do with that fact that I was trying to not to blubber all over her like an hysterical over-protective Mother LOL. Day 76 When Mum moved on the weekend I got to have a pile of her Bromiliades from her old garden as she isn't ready to re-do the garden in her new place. I placed them in my front yard under my trees because it is shady there most of the time - I hope they do ok! Day 77 This is a creeper that is growing on ...
