Addicted to Books & Digiscrapping

OK I just had to share this LO - I just finished it for a Blog Challenge over at Catscrap with the totally gorgeous Enchanted Forest Collaboration kit by Madame Mim and Milla! I was really thrilled with how it came out and I just have to share it with you all! Enchanted Credits here Other than that there isn't much to report, it's pretty quiet here and the kids are in bed and I have some scrapping to do for Natalie now LOL. Best get to it then ta ta from me, for now LOL

I have been neglecting my poor old blog for a while. I don't really have a very good excuse except life got in the way. I started back at work two weeks ago and the change in routine has thrown me for a six when it comes to my computer time. Hopefully I will get myself sorted out soon hahahha..... So work is going ok, it isn't the job of my dreams but it pays the mortgage and thats all that matters I guess. The people I work with seem very nice and friendly so it isn't a hardship going to work. I have let the housework go a bit recently mainly because my only days off have been over Easter and we went away. Before we left Brisabne though we had our traditional Easter brunch with our friends the M's and it was sooooo nice to catch up and chat over a lovely cooked brunch followed by fruit and chocolate eggs. Straight after our lovely brunch we trotted off to Hervey Bay to vist hubby's family. The traffic leaving Brisbane was a nightmare and this is a pic I took out th...

I honestly couldn't remember my last post! I actually had to open up another window just to see when it was lol. I am a bad blogger I admit it! Well fancy it being the 10th of March already and very nearly Easter! I am very very unprepared for Easter and it's made even worse by the realisation that I will be back at work next week, once more placing my nose back on that particular grindstone!*sigh* I wish I could say that I am excited about work, I really do - but I'm not and I would be lying to say differently. I feel more fatalistic than excited. My new job starts on Tuesday so wish me luck and wish me some enthusiasm too while you are at it please lol! All is going well on the family front, the kids are settled into school happily and the only sore point has been the school swimming lessons that Bella didn't want to do. But as I told her they are part of the school curriculum and she really just had to suck it up and that seems to have done the trick hahahahaha. She ...

Well maybe not suck but I certainly am a bad blogger, photographer and scrapper. It's a good thing I'm still doing an ok job as wife and mother or I would be out on the streets by now lmao! I don't know what is wrong with me at them moment. I haven't blogged in a while and that is probably because I haven't been doing my photos and I have felt guilty I guess. Well no more.... I shall not beat myself up if I don't take my photos each day - it is really hard to do and now the kids have taken to running away when I grab the camera LOL. So I am going to post as many photos as I comfortably can - ahhh I feel better already. So maybe I shouldn't call it Project 365 anymore........ how about "photos when I remember"??? I do actually have some scrapping news after all.... ADSR Season three kicked off on Sunday and Natalie and I have finished our LOs already and they are posted and checked by admin! Yehaaaah! I really enjoyed the first Challenge - it was a...

I might start off with a couple of LO's first because all I seem to do these days is post photos LOL. I used Natalie's fantastic kit Home Sweet Home kit for this family LO. I love the colours and I am really happy with how it turned out :) Family Credits here This is my LO for the last Pickle Jar Challenge over at Pickleberry Pop - I was really reluctant to use red and blue together but hey... those were the rules for the challenge so I gave it a go! Love Credits here And THIS LO was for the Designs in Digital Blog Challenge "Scrap-it-for-me" hosted by the delightful Shannon. She asked us to scrap a photo of her little man Coen as she was having trouble scrapping with it LOL. It is a gorgeous photo and I loved scrapping it for Shannon! Coen Credits here Well thanks for looking at my LOs - I appreciate it :) And now for Project 365 lol Feb 13 I know I have shown you pictures of my puss in a pot before but this time she has flowers growing out of her butt LOL! Feb 1...

Well hello there, I'm surprising myself a bit by posting now but after the last marathon post I said to myself "Self! Let's not do that to ourselves again, that took TOO long!" lmao! So here I am posting my recent photos - Feb 10 Our old lawn mower is getting a real work out these days, with more rain forecast! Feb 11 Ahhh the sweet feeling of order! First thing in the morning, hats ready, lunches made, school ports packed, and homework folders stacked neatly, all waiting for 8.15am! Feb 12 Rain drops on the clothes line! OK some people might think that I am obssessing on the rain but when you haven't seen this much of it in YEARS the novelty might take a little while to wear off! Mind you, I did get rather wet on our way up to school this morning and I wasn't feeling very thrilled then LOL

I really have to get myself a bit more organised with this I think! I keep missing my own deadlines and stressing myself out LOL. Oh well I guess I'm not working at the moment so I have to have something to stress about don't I hahahaha. Anyway I thought I had better catch up on my photos. They aren't terribly exciting , but then again, my life isn't all that exciting LMAO! Feb 1 Hmmm I do love a glass every now and then LOL Feb 2 Another one of the lovely garden spiders in my yard. Feb 3 The recent rain has made my pink Bottle Brush flower beautifully. Feb 4 Rain drops on red leaves and whiskers on kittens ..... Feb 5 Abandoned Ball - look at the colour of our grass! Doesn't look very drought striken at the moment does it? Feb 6 Puss in Pot - my silly cat loves to sit in the plant pots on the front veranda and look out at the world. Feb 7 I was fiddling with this sunset on clouds in lightroom - I like it lol Feb 8 Chelsea just loves me - especially after dinner! Fe...
