Thought I'd better blog this before Link beat me to it. He is winning the blog war at the moment....Last night we went to Suzy and Lincoln's and had dinner with our dear friends Mandy and Dave who recently moved to Melbourne. Mandy and Dave are in our inner camping friends circle and since the weather is getting cooler we haven't seen as much of them as we would like. Anyway, we went to Waratah

Well that title is a bit ambiguous.... I'll leave it at that I think, suffice to say, it's a little dig, because despite my obvious disadvantage, I got to blog first, what did I get to blog first, well, that I went to see Juno today. Yep Suzy and I have started up our weekly Friday movie again (although we had a non-human gatecrasher today). And what a way to start the movie year... if you

~ DREAMS ARE ILLUSTRATIONS ~Had lots of fun making this layout and have always loved that pic of Quinn, I really enjoyed experimenting and what I ended up with, it shows up a little bit light on the compressed version though.

~ ROAD TRIP ~Let's start with the good stuff first. We had an absolutely wonderful weekend, well Sunday anyway. We went for a drive to Tarra Bulga National Park. First arriving at Bulga and doing one of the beautiful walks across the huge swing bridge, then back in the car and a short drive to Tarra Falls, which is just a scenic stop on the side of the road. All the falls we saw were in a sorry

(You can check out results at Angela and MiYon's blogs too).And just a little layout dedicated to all the champagne lovers out there! Oh and as you can see I have had yet another blog makeover and whilst I loved my previous banner, I didn't make it so I was never happy, so I re did it

~ LAYOUTS ~Here are 4 more layouts I have done recently. Top one I used brush frames from Scrapartist.com. The Christmas layout uses brushes by Anna Aspnes and the Puzzle one uses a stamped alpha by Michelle Coleman.

These are layouts that were all done for our MAC digi girls using their photo's. I have revamped and changed them to suit my own pics and here they are.....Oh and the bottom one is a new one :)Been busy around the house this week while we are both off work together. While I have missed camping it has been lovely being able to spend some time at home. We have managed to do a bit, and spend some

As a kid, having a birthday on Christmas Day really, well there's no other way to say it, sucked. Big Time. I only ever remember having one party. And while my parents tried to separate it, Christmas in the morning, Birthday in the evening, there really is no getting away from the fact that you share your special day with everyone else's special Christmas Day.The last two years there has been a

Yep I think (fingers crossed, and everything else ;-) ) that I have broken my layouts drought! At least I hope so! Here are a few more I have done lately....On "Magical" I used various brushes from Scrapartist, Anna Aspnes and Rhonna Farrer. On "Elvis" I used star brushes from Anna Aspnes. And on "Delight" the flower brush is by Rhonna Farrer. All 3 layouts are of Bronte. (Much to Quinn's disgust

OK, stop razzin' me, I know it's been a while! ;-) This is just a quick random thought, oh and a layout.....Where do my emails go, when they don't go to our group??? Several emails have come through to MAC in the last couple of days which were sent by me on the 4th of November, my thoughts are they have been either:* to an Email Conference* to a support group for Emails that have lost their way*

This is just a quick entry, I am so time challenged at the moment due to my real job, but had to get this up!We had our MAC conference on the weekend, and I met THE most wonderful, fun, caring, happy, special girls and could not have gotten along with them any better. We all got along like a house on fire and I wasn't at all suprised, after all, we have been friends for a while now, even though

~ WOO HOO ~Well, as always, we had a blast at work for Cup Day! There is an advantage when you are working and people think you aren't! Everyone assumes that all banks are closed on Cup Day, but regional branches aren't. So that usually means a pretty quiet day for us. We always put on a lovely Chicken and Champagne lunch (thanks Ruthy, Shez, Nicole and Helen). It's a great spread and we put in a

~ PARTY ~I had a Handbag Party on Wednesday, and, after not writing down who I had invited and also telling friends (stupidly) not to worry about RSVPing, I had no idea how many were coming, so after work on Wednesday, I was in a panic about how much food and, more importantly, wine and champagne I should purchase I finally got myself organised and was ready just in time for the first guest to

Well Quinn has followed one of my Digiscrapping tutorials and now has the bug. These 3 layouts were done using pictures Quinn took herself.The tutuorial she followed was the koala one, the other two she acheived all on her lonesome!

In the mornings, when I hover between being awake and asleep, I hear the most blissful sound on earth. Little feet running down our hallway, that turns to soft thudding sounds when they hit the carpet of our bedroom, then I get to feel little arms wrap around me and little hands that are quickly losing their childlike chubbiness, stroke my hand or face. I never know which of my angels it is until

My kids call her their second auntie, because they think that's right, since she is the Mum of their second cousins (a strange kind of sense in there). We were just chatting about a million different things and while we were

Funny thing happened at school drop off this morning.....Almost every morning when I kiss Bronte goodbye we both get a shock from static electricity. This morning it was a big one and we were laughing about it. Then Quinn said "I know Mummy, I'm going to get a photo of you and Bronte kissing and then I'll do a layout and I'll put 'Electric Love' on it." LOL That cracked me up! She is thinking

When we are camping, for some reason we are all very tired at the end of every day, despite the fact we don't actually DO a great deal. We all sigh, sitting around the fire and say "Another Big Day O Nothin' ". LOLI always come back feeling so refreshed, happy and feeling lucky that we get to spend this special time with our families and close friends. We were pretty lucky with the weather

~Blog Bliss~Well I battled blogger today and made a few (slight) changes to my blog template. Changed the font to my all time fave (I use it in my layouts more than any other). I put a bit of colour in my side panel. Both of those were easy enough. Then I wanted to indent my text a little in the side bar, after quite a while I figured that out too, it all moved across a bit, except the profile

Another busy day!Movies today with the girls, we went to see Monster House with some friends. It was great and the kids really enjoyed it and then we went out for lunch afterwards, enjoyed a lovely meal and great conversation. Mandy, her partner Dave and their two girls Odette and Mallory are also part of our camping crew. I ended up bring Mandy's girls home with me while Mandy went to work for a

Well, we have had a big few days.Saturday we spent doing a few things around the house, mostly to get ready for a mini party that we had on Saturday night. We had friends from Brian’s work come for a viewing of Ian and Mary’s (Brian’s bosses) son Daniel Jones’ documentary following the Tour de France. The film was called Detour De France and was following a tour run by an Australian ex cyclist

Well I have had a busy few days!I had a work dinner on Wednesday, which was a scream, as always, then since it was at a restaurant next door to the local cinema, I arranged to meet Suzy there, and off we went to see Wah-Wah. It was a great movie, although not many seem to know about t. It was written and directed by an English actor, Richard E Grant and was based on his life, being brought up in

Not quite sure how to word this, and I know it will come out all cryptic, but I gotta get it off my chest.Yesterday someone made an off hand remark to me (about me), quite innocent and I saw the funny side of it, in fact it was entirely laughable. I repeated this remark and got the shock of my life that this comment had been made by someone else, someone that should know better. I am so sad and

LOL. The title refers to the movie Suzy and I were going to see on a weekly movie trip, but sadly it's not on! So we have decided to go and see "Beyond The Sea" which has Kevin Spacey in it, who I love! It's the Bobby Darrin story and we are both really looking forward to this anyway. In the 6 months (approx) that we have been going (almost) every Friday, we haven't seen a bad movie. We have

Freak tooth has become part of our family, it has been given a special place in our hearts and now it's gone. And not without a fight either, unfortunately, freak tooth had gum growing around it as well as a nodule of gum growing inside, so there was lots of tugging and pulling. Bronte was very brave

Pirates Of The Caribbean 2Went and saw it last night with a bunch of school Mum's, dinner 1st then the movie. Got home about 12.30am so a little tired today. The movie was a little silly at times, but Johnny Depp is brilliant in his part as is Orlando Bloom. Johnny Depp is so lovable and despite some holes in the plot, it's an enjoyable romp.

And, also, we had our opening crop at The Scrapping Garden today, which I mainly missed as friends called in right as it started! And they are NOT cyber people, so they just don't get it! But I did make the next crop which was great fun and we had a lot of Aussie and NZ mac girls there!

This one is very grungy and not everyone's cup of tea, but I am pretty happy with the results. And, NO, I don't love Quinn more! It's just that all the ideas I have had for layouts are more suited to Quinn lately, but I have an idea forming for one on my precious Bronte Grace, which I will

I love it!Well netball was fun again today, we got our 3rd goal YAY!! LOL It's the 5th game so we are averaging 0.6 goals per game!! And again, the only goal we scored was met with wild cheering, yelling and whistling! aaahhhhh

Had a pretty quiet day today, but I did get a layout done. I used the same pic as I did for the one yesterday, just the perfect pic of Quinn really.... Anyway I did 3 different versions of this layout, one black, one white and the one below with a kind of pinkish tone... I think I like this one the best.The journaling reads as follows :"We have just come through a really trying time lately. Your

Well we have a date!!!! (To move into our house). Spoke to our project manager today and it is two weeks from today, which makes it the 1st of June! How exciting!!! We went and looked today and the mirrors have been put in the bathroom and ensuite and all the power points, light fitting and central heating vents have been put in and also the shower screens. So it is really just the flooring (wood

Didn't do too much today. Quinn had her 4th netball game today and they got another goal! Yay, but lost 6 - 1. You all would have loved my comment of the day, all the parents certainly wet themselves when I burst out with the following. All the kids are constantly bunching up and they seem to jump up and down on the spot with their hands in the air, waiting for the person who has the ball to see

Below is a CD cover that my cousin asked me to do for him. He is an amazing singer, but is very shy and lacks confidence. It is a pity because I believe he could be a star, if he put himself out there. He is in a band but won't sing in the lead, the punters are missing out for sure! He makes a CD every year of songs he writes and I was honoured to do the cover for him! Anyway he loved it and I

This will be a bit depressing and not really a fun read but I feel like I have to get it off my chest, so bare with me.I went to see Capote today and really loved it. It was a great movie, well filmed and also a story I didn't know anything about. It is basically the story of Truman Capote, who got to know two men that murdered a family of 4 in their own home in 1959. He wrote a book about it

Poor little Quinn turned 9 a few weeks ago and she agreed to wait until we moved into our new house before we organised her party... which I thought would be about 1 month after her birthday, but it will probably be more like two. She has been wonderfully patient and understands the delay, but the other day I had (what I thought) was a great idea. After seeing a kit that Karin from MACdigi had

Well a huge thank you to all the MACdigiscrap girls, that gave me lots of feedback on my blog, everything was looking fine on my screen, but wasn't showing up properly on others, so I moved the two slides and went from there. I really appreciate your help in this girls, you are the greatest bunch of girls to be cyber buddies with ;)And Angela, it's time you got your own blog, as I seem to get

This is just a test, I can't figure out why on one of my posted pics I can get a bigger version, but on others I can't... What a conundrum!

Two entries in two days, this can't last LOL! OK I forgot more news I had on the weekend, well not my news, but anyway.... Quinn's netball team (Go Gems) had their third netball game on the weekend. They finally got their first goal!!!! The roar from the crowd was reminiscent of the '89 AFL Grandfinal between Hawthorn and Geelong. It was a fabulous moment and our second smallest player, the

Well I have been in a huge creative slump recently, mainly because I have been so busy with other things....My new job, which I am loving and finding myself disappointed that Friday has come because that is my day off. I am sure it won't last but I hope I will always enjoy going to work. There is lots to learn and it has been a bit hard as I didn't get to spend much time with the girl that I

Ok this is my first blog post! Feeling a bit naked about putting my thoughts down for anyone to see but here goes.... This pic was taken on our recent holiday with my brand new Nikon D70s digital camera! I am so excited and love the pics it takes, I have lots of ideas running trough my head for shots to take with it, so stay tuned!The photo above was only cropped and a VERY slight adjustment on
