SHE IS AWESOME!!!!!

Well ,just got back from Melbourne . We went to PINK's concert last nite! OMG!!!! It was awesome. She totally rocks. I have always loved her but now I love her even more! The concert was umbelievable...if you haven't been...GO!!!

Also went to paperific.....very disappointed. I didn't expect it to be as good as the one in November but it was pretty boring. Managed to spend money though...bought quite a few stamp sets.

I havent posted since being on Paula's retreat. Now that was fun!!! Those women are AMAZING people. So caring and supportive, but also HILLARIOUS!!! Eunice you crack me up!!!

I managed to complete 6 Los (over 3 days!) but I also taught which was fun too.

Here are some of my LOS. Haven't photographed them all yet so here is a few to start....

And this is another LO Icompleted a little while ago but haven't posted yet....

This is A LO about Will's first pair of footy boots....

Will post my other LOs later.Other than these LOs I have been scrappin'my Masters entries . I have completed 2 out of the four requirements and am working on my mystery project. I have to stop blog surfing though cos' I am happy with my own stuff until I see someboby elses beautiful work and then I start doubting my own stuff. Well off now, promise I will be back later. Please leave me a message if you have popped by........TFL Eb xxx

COUNTING DOWN....

I am getting excited!!! This time next week I will be scrappin' up a storm at Paula's retreat!!! I can't wait!! I have been so busy this month getting classes and kits done so it will be nice to have some ME scrappin' time! I will be teaching as well but that should be fun too!! I might work on my Master's entries yet but I haven't decided what I will do. Have packed so much stuff....you know how it is. Gotta have everything with me! I have sorted out papers and photos though! I hope everything including Nellie G's stuff fits into little Tillie TI IDA!!!!


Today Will had the best day...he went for a helicopter flight over the twelve apostles. I haven't loaded any photos onto my computer yet but as soon as I do I will post them on here. He was a little nervous but he LOVED it! He took some great photos on his camera too. He was so excited to show me when he came off the helicopter.He went up with Nan and Opa.

This month I have my WELCOME TO OUR FAMILY HOME sign published in SBM. I have also had a few other LOs accepted so that's exciting too. Will and Mackenzie have their canvases published in next months SBM mag. They are looking forward to finally seeing their beatiful work in print!!

Here are some LOs I have done for Paula....


Anyway....will be back again soon, TFL Eb xx

I HATE FEELING SICK!!!

As you can guess by my title I am feeling a little...well a lot actually under the weather.I have had gastro! I hate Gastro more than any other illness!! I am presuming that it is gastro but Steve and I went out for lunch on Tuesday and straight away I felt awful......but Steve ate the same as me and he is fine. SoI am guessing it is just a coinsidence. But I haven't been scrapping or anything. But I thought I would post my little mothers day accordion card I made also with my scrapapple kit...

Anyway only a short post today...off to lie down...thats if DD decides to do the same!!!

SCRAPAPPLE MOTHERS DAY KIT....

I can now share the rest of my Mother's day mini album that I created with this month's SCRAPAPPLE kit.

I made it from a Kaiser 4x4 mini album. I tell ya...I am not good at reading instructions so it took me a little while to get it together! The patterned papers are by Upsy Daisy Designs and they are gorgeous.The whole kit was so pretty, it was fun using it!!!

Here it is page by page....

Here is another Layout I completed this week and was lucky enough to win again!!! I actually killed two birds with one stone so to speak as I did one Layout for two challenges. .....the Friday nite social scrappers onthe Boxx and color Combos galore.

The photos are of Maya Easter morning at 7 am mind you!!! Every time I would turn around she had chocolate in her mouth!!!! I suppose IT is the only morning we can get away with eating chocolate for breakfast!!!! I have some more Easter photos still to scrap but these ones made me giggle so I had to use these ones first!
Well until next time...thanks for looking.Don't forget to leave me a message if you pop by....Eb xxx

Layout #14 for use your stash challenge....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!!!!
Today is DH's birthday!!!!!

I am feeling a little tired today. Last night was my step mum's 50th birthday party and I think I spent most of the night chasing my kids around!!! It was fun thought.Great to catch up with family that I don't see very often.

Thought I would post my last two layouts for the use your stash challenge over on the BOXX.

This one I needed to use bright orange.....

CHERISH....

This challenge was to use a transperancy as a background. It doesn't show the effect very well in the photograph though!!! This is a LO about howmuch Will's drawing and writing skills have improved since starting school.The transperancy is a creative imaginations one with school themes all over it.


LEARNING DAILY.....

I have also participated in another challenge on a website called COLOR COMBOS GALORE

Each week there is a new color combo as a challenge. Here is my first entry...

ANYWHERE, ANYHOW!...

I have also finished my mini album for the product showcase feature for Scrapbooking Memories but haven't taken any photos yet. Will be back tomorrow with a sneaky peeky of that.
