Addicted to Books & Digiscrapping

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...

Eeek I can't believe its been two weeks since I posted last! It seems like only yesterday but man it's been pretty busy so I guess the old adage is true - time flies when you are having fun (hmmm not sure about FUN exactly!). Things have been flying along here until this week when we all ground to a halt with a yucky virus that struck down the whole family. Sore throats, headaches and fevers abound, the kids had two days off school, I had two days off work (1 for them and 1 for me) and Tony even took a day off for the kids too. But thankfully after an icky few days we seem to be emerging out the other side. Needless to say that did cramp my scrapping style but I have been going a bit over board the last couple of weeks as you will no doubt see from my post. Since I last posted Bella's underdog netball team came up trumps when they took home the trophy and grabbed first place from the season favorites! A more exciting game I have yet to see as they were tied all the way thro...

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...

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...

Wow it has been just crazy around my place this last week! Going back to work for me wasn't as bad as I thought it might be and I was actually happy to be back!! The kids are getting their routines sorted out although Tasha needs to work on the fact that year 3 has more homework than she is used to, but I am confident that things will settle down. She is now learning Piano with Bella's old Piano teacher and seems to really enjoy it and on Wednesdays she now does tennis after school Bella's netball team made the semi finals and the girls were just thrilled! The coaches are pretty excited too and say we have a good chance to bring it home this year - that remains to be seen but I am thrilled for Bella - to get to the Semies in her first season of Netball. Her playing has really improved with the support and encouragement of her great coaches! So you can see it has been all go but in between all that running around I managed to finish my week 5 P365 and do a couple of pages f...

Well we are back from our wonderful week away and already we are stressed and back into the real world as if it never really happened! I have the photos though and the memories of the balmy nights and brilliant sunny days to remind me of the good times - ahhh feel the serenity! The school year has started and my girls are back into the grind already. It is a big year for them both - with Bella starting High School and Tasha being all alone at school without her sister being there to help her. Bella has settled in to High School beautifully and thinks all her teacher are amazing and awesome! In fact awesome and amazing have featured strongly in any of her conversations about school in the past week. She has even started getting the bus - which for her is a huge deal as she has never ever caught public transport in her life on her on before EVER! Tasha on the other hand was freaking out about going back to school and now that she is back has settled back perfectly well, she has found th...

LOL I don't suppose there would be many people who read my blog who remember the old eighties LPs like 1980 with a bullet, sorry that was inspiration for a post title today for some reason? I feel a little silly today. That could be because I have loads to do before we head off for our annual beach escape and its making me a bit crazy-loco! I have to finish getting the girls ready for school and their books all covered, I have to make my list for the coast so I don't leave anything behind, I have to pack, I have to take my P365 photo for today and tidy up because my SIL is arriving for an over night visit on her way back up to Townsville! Eeek I might just sit here for a minute and breath and relax a little bit .................... ahhhhh. OK before I race off and tackle the list I want to share with you my first two pages of my 2010 P365 as I resolved to do (see I'm a good girl aren't I?). I am filled with enthusiasm for the project again mainly due to my friend Carol...

I'm sorry I haven't been around much recently, I was just sooooo busy doing so many other things that blogging just seemed too much on top of it all. BUT oh wow I have a wonderful feeling of satisfaction as I have finally managed something that I never thought I would, I am up to date with my project pages!!!! I could feel the project slipping further and further out of reach as each week passed but YAY after a big day of sitting down and just doing it I'm now up to date!! The pages aren't beautiful but they are done!And now that it's done I am going to go back to blogging once a week again (at least that is the plan hahaha!) Ok without rambling on and on here are my Project 365 pages UP TO DATE!!!! Week 26 - July 06 to July 12 Credits - Paper & template - DebF, stitching,paper,flourish & Staples - ksharonk, Alpha - FruitLoOp Sally, Word Art - Weeds N Wildflowers Week 27 - July 13 to July 19 Credits - Paper & template - DebF, stitching,paper, flourish ...

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...
