LATEST SCRAPAPPLE PROJECT...

I am sleep deprived.....and not happy about it! Maya is now sick and has been keeping us up the last four nights.She is never a good sleeper when she is sick, so the rest of us suffer as well. Don't get me wrong I feel sorry for her because she is sick, she looks and sounds terrible but the old patience wears thin when you don't get any sleep.It has comeat a terrible time creatively as well as Iam trying to complete my masters entry. I have just finished my mystery project and have done a VERY different style layout for my greatest achievement layout. I still have to take photos of Steve and the kids though.I was plannongto last weekend but Maya was not well enough. Hopefully tomorrow.

Well I have also been working on my kit for scrapapple this month so here it is. You can purchase these papers and goodies here.

I LOVED these paper by My Litte Shoebox. I am hoping that Louisa gets the new ranges in. And I loved this tree. I need more of these! This book I created for Maya about all the fun and crazy things she saysand does. Like when I said to her

"you're as clean as a whistle......and a few minutes later she said,

" I cleaned my whistle...did I?"!! She is such a funny girl!!

Anyway better go and see if my paint is dry on some chipboard. Til next time,

WILL"S LUCKY STREAK.....

Well in my last post I was telling you how Will had won two tickets to the FUN 4 KIDS festival because he won a coloring competition......well today we found out that he also has won another competition!!! We entered a competition in our local paper where you had to collect puzzle pieces to a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle puzzle every day of the week. We then sent them to be drawn out of a hat so to speak. The prize was a family pass to the Melbourne Aquarium to see the TMNT show which is on there at the moment during school holidays! Well since Will is SO into the turtles I entered and he won a pass!!!! He is so on a lucky streak. Maybe I should let him by me a tattslotto ticket!!! He is so excited!!!

I thought I would post some more Layouts on here. I actually scrapped a layout!!! I think my mojo may be returning...hopefully.Well here it is...

Here are so more layouts which I completed while at Paula's retreat....

Well I'm off to pack my gear as I am having a scrap day at my friend Michelle's house tomorrow. I won't get much scrappin' done over the weekend as we have fun 4 kids on saturday and I am teaching at the LSS on Sunday.

So thanks again for popping by, til next time Happy Scrappin'......Eb xx

Its Official....

Its Official.........I have lost my mojo!! And I really want it back! I am really disliking my work at the moment and really admiring everyone elses...not a good combination for the creative self esteem! So until Iget my mojo back I don't have to much to share. I am still yet to take some photos of some of my layouts and I will do that hopefully over the weekend.

On a happier note Will won a coloring competition this week and won two tickets to the fun 4 kids festival. We were so proud of him!He also brought home his first school report and it was excellent so that is a huge relief.
Anyway, Im off to scrap with Nellie, Sonia and Jacinta....hopefully I might get the creative juices flowing. I have actually just started another Kim Archer class this week and haven't had a chance to do them so if I can get my printer working I might give them a go!
Til next time......OBTW thanks to those who have been leaving me comments....I really do appreciate it!
TFL, Eb xx

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
