Things have been happily tooting along here at my place .. work..home..kids..scrap .. the usual. We just finished the school holidays and the kids are struggling a little to get back into the swing of things - knowing my luck they will just get themselves sorted and they will be back on holidays for the September break lol. But apart from that everything is going really well. Pippi is settling in nicely and it feels like we have had her with us always. We do have a couple of small issues with her but that is to be expected with a rescued dog - she suffers from separation anxiety, she is very aggressive towards other dogs (little dog syndrome) and she has food issues - but apart from that she is the most adorable loving little dog you ever did see. She has hubby wrapped firmly around her little paw! She has some cute bling now with her name and phone number on it and she is now FINALLY registered with the local council (thats a whole other story!). Here are a couple of recent photos of...

I really have no excuse other than I am completely forgetful and that is pretty much it - I did my Project pages at the beginning of the week but totally forgot to post them but I am here at last so tada ... here are my latest P365 pages :) I'm so pleased that I am still going along with my Project 365 this year and that I am keeping up to date with my pages - this template by Leora seriously makes the whole process so painless and I really believe that this year I might make it AND if I do Carol I am going to get them put into a photo-book!! Week 12 Credits - Designs by Leora Week 13 Credits - Designs by Leora As you can see from my project pages life has been a whole lot of "the everyday" stuff going on around here. School, work, housework, shopping and sleeping has all been on the agenda. I think we have forgotten how to go out and relax! It is hard for Bella at the moment as she gets used to the demands of high school homework and assignments and I have to say I have...

Well I'm sorry but I haven't been here for a bit - the ADSR and CT requirements have been taking up a fair whack of my time but the race (for me) is over now for another year so I am hoping to have a little more spare time for you my dear blog! Speaking of ADSR here are my last few pages ... Challenge 9 - Create Art! credits here Challenge 10 - Life is our Canvas Credits here Challenge 11 - A little birdie told me ...... Credits here Now the final challenge is being done by the lovely Deb as a roadblock and is a card and envelope - apparently there was some drama about the last challenge but we dont buy into all that rubbish so as long as we get checked off we are happy. We have had another fabulous race and all kudos to the team at NDISB for all their hard work, we cant wait until season 6!! I had better post my P365 pages now - I am only two weeks behind and while the photos aren't anything amazing they are of my day-to-day life in all its humdrum glory lol Week 10 Credi...

Yes I know .... I am slipping but really I have been so busy playing catch up with my CT and ADSR scrapping, newsletter contributions, posting and all the family stuff sometimes it get a bit much and the last place I want to sit is at the computer in the evenings (my favorite time for blogging lol)! Home life has been especially busy this week with netball training, tennis, parent information nights, netball semi-finals (which Bella's team WON woohoo! into the Grand finals now!) and I have been busy at work too! yikes! First of all here is my latest page for the project - I am just loving these templates of Leora's - so crisp and clean, it really makes it all about the photos and not a major scrapping exercise! Week 7 Credits - Designs by Leora I'm so happy to be racing with ADSR season 5 with my BFF Deb and it was great fun to kick it off with this first challenge - about your partner. We had to scraplift a page of our race partner and make it all about her - so here is my...

Now that the February edition of the Artisan Notebook is out I can finally post my January pages with joyful impunity! So here for your viewing pleasure (I hope lol) are my pages ...... one page is for the Just Write Challenge section .... Now and Then Credits - here and one is for an article on one of our talented designers over at Pickleberrypop - Carolyn Rose Kite .... Alway be with me Credits - here In other scrapping news Deb and I were thrilled to discover that we were allowed to register late after we discovered the ADSR season 5 team nominations had closed - Ernie and Theresa were kind enough to throw open the gates to us after they discovered that a number of people had lost touch with the site after the "troubles". So now Deb and I are racing once more in our fourth season of the Amazing Digital Scrapbooking Race so stay tuned as I struggle to cope with crazy deadlines, tricky challenges and a partner that lives across the globe while having a BLAST at the same ...

Hi there! It seems like only yesterday that I posted last - umm right it WAS only yesterday! Well I managed to take my photo for the day this morning so I am all up-to-date now. It's a great feeling. It was nice to be on the computer today, not like yesterday! It was just so hot and humid here that I kept sticking to my bamboo tablet - YUCK! Thankfully last night a cool change came through and it rained all night! Lots of thunder too which was weird - normally we get afternoon storms but hardly ever thunder in the middle of the night and in the early morning! I'm not going to complain though its lovely and cool. Ok I'm rambling so I'll just post my Project page and get on with it ........... Credits - Designs by Leora I finished a page for Cherpea Designs aka Cheryl today - she is a wonderfully patient and lovely Designer who puts up with my inability to be a good and productive CT member - so now I'm only a week behind for my CT scrapping and I can't wait to fi...

I have had a lovely quiet day with a little bit of housework and a whole lot of computer time. The kids had a huge sleep in after a big week back at school and they have been happily playing together (!!! wow that hardly ever happens) and now its time to have Pizza Capers for dinner - yum yum! But before that I just wanted to post quickly with a new page I made today using Cheryl's (aka Cherpea Designs) lovely Sea Dreams kit which is available here at Two Little Pixels Beach Bella Credits - here Ok I'm off now - the pizza smells delicious and I'm hungry! I know its a flying post but there isn't much more to say - oh except ............... my friend Deb won the last Digi Dare with her super cool Dear Abbey Cocoa Puffs page! Woot!!! WTG Deb! Catch you later!

Just popping in to say bye as we are on the way out the door for our annual beach escape - I'll be back next week with lots of photos and a catch up post. The best thing about the holiday (apart from the sun, sea and sand!) is that I will have no end of inspiration for my P365! I am still going along well and I am keeping on top of my photo editing so all I need to do when i get back is pop the photos in the template - easy peasy! Before I go I have to tell you about the new template challenge and the new Ohh Ahh Whats in the Pickle Jar Challenges that have just started at Pickleberrypop! If you are looking for some inspiration you cant go past these! This month the hostess with the mostest is Armina! It's a great challenge And Pat the Pickle has a fab new challenge and you could win a $10 GC to the store just by playing along!! Ok the car's all packed, the kids are jiggling up and down in excitement and hubby is honking the horn - check you later!

Ummmmm I really really can NOT believe that it's been over a month since I posted! That seems really weird to me - perhaps if I wasn't spending so much time on YoVille on Facebook I would be here more often rofl. Stupid game has taken over my life but I really really wanted to get a new bath for my bathroom so I have been working hard and saving my pennies hahahaha. But in between working at YoVille I have been mucking around helping get some very exciting things ready over at Pickleberrypop for their third birthday celebrations next weekend. I'll show you a quick sneak peek a bit later of a wonderful surprise that will be unveiled - you will love it!! But first off I am going to catch up with some of my project 365 pages - I know I am sadlly behind with these but I spent a bit of time this weekend catching up. My pages are not terribly fancy and I have kept the decorations very plain. I still have a couple of weeks to do but I am a LOT closer than I was to finally catching...

But I have been a bit slack at the posting of my photos and posting on my blog - sorry! I have managed to keep up my photos daily so far except for one day where my migraine shattered me and I took a pile of pills and went to bed. It's a fly by posting from me I'm afraid - I will try to get updated after we get back from our trip up to Townsville. We are leaving on Friday and are going to have a fabulous time catching up with family and friends! We haven't been back to Townsville in 8 years and I can't wait to see how the old place has changed! It's a wonderful opportunity for the girls to see where Mum and Dad met and were we lived. I imagine that I will take lots and lots and lots of photos - enough to tide me over until the next time we get up there! Anyway I won't ramble on - I have sinus and an earache at the moment and all I want to do is go to bed so here are the past two weeks Project pages and i will bid you all a fond farewell!! Project 365 - Week 20 -...

Hi I'm just shooting past with a quick blog post - I'm doing a bit of blog hopping this morning and I hope that I make it to all your blogs to say Hi!! I would like to post some of the pages that I have scrapped this week - I went on a bit of a scrapping bender late in the week and this is the result :) The Sea using Olga Unger's great new Sea Paradise Credits here There is something so magical about the sea. It is a vastly powerful force, untameable, unknowable and yet so intriguing. Here is my DD walking alone the beach at Hervey Bay pondering the mysteries of the sea. Close to you inspired by the Carpenter's song :) and using Dawn Inskip's fab new Strawberry Crush Credits here Looking at Natasha I often have this song just pop into my head, when she was little I would sing it to her with her Lullabies at bedtime. I think it's the angels appearing and sprinkling "moondust in your hair and starlight in your eyes of blue oooooh oh" that gets me every t...
