ANZAC Day

2011-04-25T23:59:00.003+11:00

They shall not grow old,

As we that are left grow old.

Age shall not weary them,

Nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun,

And in the morning,

We will remember them.

SO April sketch

2011-04-24T21:21:00.008+11:00

This is my interpretation of the April sketch over @ Scrapping Outback. I kind of strayed a little from the actual sketch, which is unlike me, I usually stick to it, but I just went with the flow and this is what I ended up with. And I have to say that I am very happy with it too :)

I even made a couple of flowers myself :) I had some small PRIMA flowers and wanted a bigger one. So I cut a few flowers out of my CRICUT, glimmermisted them and scrunched them and joined them up with the original flowers and Ta da. My own semi-handmade flowers ;)

QLD floods & WA bushfires

2011-01-11T17:02:00.002+11:00

I've been watching the TV all day and seeing the flood devastation in QLD and the deliberately lit bushfires in WA. Its heartbreaking. I cannot even begin to imagine how horrifying the floods are and I know exactly how frightening the bushfires are. My heart goes out to all my wonderful friends who live in both states and to all my friends who live elsewhere, but who have family living in these states. Thinking of you all xxxxx

~~~Hello 2011~~~

So to all the gorgeous people in my life, I wish you all a safe, prosperous, healthy and Happy New Year {{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}

Sick....

2010-12-18T15:09:00.002+11:00

Well finally an answer to why I have been feeling a little less than average lately.
Monday this week I was rushed to the Emergency dept at the local hospital in excruciating pain which had gone from slight pain and nausea to agony within an hour. I was diagnosed with appendicitis and put in a ward to await surgery. Well after the op my surgeon explained to me that they also found that I had a burst ovarian cyst which probably happened at the same time!!! He also found a heap of cysts on my ovaries and removed those as well. So here I sit in a heap of pain and hating every minute of not being able to do things..........I can't wait til I feel better and normal again :)

BLOG AWARD

2010-11-14T21:10:00.006+11:00

A couple of weeks back I got a lovely surprise from an equally lovely person, Sue (Purple Poppy). She awarded me a blog award. Now being the time starved person that I seem to be these days and with my memory/loss thingy that I live with daily, I completely forgot about this. But then while sitting here tonight, it popped back into my head that I had gotten this award.

Soooo having explained all that lot LOL here it is

and some questions to answer that came along with it:

**1. Thank the person that gave it to you.
Thanx Sue, you're a darling xx

**2. Post it with pride on your blog.
Done :)

**3. List 3 things about yourself that you love doing.

1} I love that I am alive. I've been there and I've faced the possibility of my world ending through no choice or fault of my own. Fortunately for me it wasn't my time. So I love that I am here today to do what I do and to see my babies grow :) That makes me so very very happy xxx

2} I cherish the 3 wonderful, healthy children that I have been trully blessed with. Being a mummy to these amazing little people is awesome. I enjoy all the wonderful moments that they give me and all the endless love that they shower me with xxx

3} I love that I have a hobbie that allows me to create memories for my family for years to come. To be able to write down on my LO's how I feel about them and how they have made me feel, is awesome. To give them the gift of my love through my creations that will live on long after I am gone, is so very special to me.

**4. Post a picture you love.

I love going here. This place makes me happy :)

** 5. Tag 5 other people

*1* goes to Suz cos she's just a darlin who just happens to be a very cool creator as well and this girl has a very cool little shop too :)

*2* goes to Mel B who is an awesome creator and gorgeous person too :)

*3* is for Nancy who has a bright bubbly blog you just have to check out and a very funky creator she is too :)

*4* goes to Pearl who is an absolute sweetie and a totally brilliant artist :)

*5* lastly is Toni who makes me almost wet myself from laughter each time I stalk her blog. You seriously have to go see for yourself :)

Oh yeh this is the life

2010-08-10T22:02:00.003+11:00

This is where we spent the weekend.

And did we have a blast. The kids spent all day digging on the beach and created tunnels in the sand dunes. They made sand slides on the cliffs. They went swimming even though it was cold in the water, I don't think they noticed. They went for walks along the tracks. They collected shells. Roasted marshmallows over the fire at night.

Hubby fished most of the time, of course, LOL and LOVED it :)

I got to chill out and just do not much of anything and I LOVED it :)

Can't wait to do it all again next time........

Twiddleybitz giveaway ... blog candy

Hello blog readers,

As most of you know I was DT Co-ordinator for the Twiddleybitz team for about two years and I am slowing going through my stash and thought I would share the love... So here is the giveaway, there is lots of chippie in there, a couple of pieces were used as samples and are coloured using Notions colour sprays. It also includes a large bird house and one of the attic houses.

ANZAC DAY 2010

2010-04-25T18:21:00.001+11:00

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Lest we forget.......

New chippie @ Scrapping Outback

A gift bag and card set

2009-09-16T16:32:00.002+11:00

Here is a LO I completed for the Cyber Crop sketch challenge @ Scrapping Outback

This one was a big challenge for me, because I decided that I wanted to use subtle colors and then I kept trying to get away from them, but in the end common sense prevailed and I stuck with the subtle colors :)

And here is the card and gift bag set I created for the other Cybercrop challenge

I loved doing this little gift bag. I created it solely using my Cricut. I used the Platin Schoolbook cartidge for the bag and then used the Storybook cartridge for the tags. Added a bit of ribbon and some flowers and there you have it. For the card I just used the bag as a template for the circle shape and then used the same cartridges for the tags :) Too easy. Loooovin my Cricut :)

2009-09-02T14:46:00.003+11:00

Here are a few more Lo's for the big month of challenges @ Scrapping Outback

We had to do a double Lo with an outdoor theme:

Then the next one was a Monochromatic challenge. Obviously the color I chose was BROWN ;)

The next challenge was a Mini Masters Kit put together by SO that we had to purchase and then do a LO, double or single, it was our choice:

And finally this the 4 product kit challenge for the month:

Happy Birthday Donna :)

2009-08-19T21:55:00.004+11:00

2009-06-03T21:04:00.004+11:00

Well Chipboard Highschool is over and we have had our graduation cybercrop weekend and so I thought I had better put up some of the creations that I have done. I have just been flat out with DT work for Scrapbook Megastore and comps on Scrapping Outback, plus being sick again, that I have neglected my poor little blog (sorry)

So here are a few of the creations :)

2009-05-31T00:50:00.004+11:00

We have had the best weekend over @ Scrapping Outback. All the winners were announced for Chipboard Highschool and I won the Wild Card section. This is where the teacher from that week chooses a LO that didn't win, that they think is worthy of a second chance and you go into the Final for Wild card entries and I WON!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!And I got a blinkie and it looks like this

April sketch challenge @ Scrapping outback

2009-04-30T20:08:00.004+11:00

This is my entry for the April Sketch challenge over @ Scrapping Outback. We had to do a LO after completing a quiz to find out our Archetypal Element. Mine was 'Water' and I must say, I LOVE the water!

THIS WAS A WINNER :) :) :) :) :)

No followers?? Would a RAK tempt you??

2009-04-30T11:36:00.005+11:00

OK girls, so I have no followers on my side bar. Now I know that people are looking, so why don't you put yourself in there. Come on, I'd love to have a look at your blog. I'm a blog-a-holic, I just can't get enough ;)

Well anyhow I will pick 2 people at random, who become followers of my blog and they will win a RAK.

So come on, what you waiting for hey :)

Some design team work and some fun :)

2009-04-29T23:56:00.003+11:00

Some design team work @ Scrapbook Megastore. This is a kit that comes with all pre-cut circles and a template should you need to cut out anymore. The kit comes with 2 sheets of pp, bling stickers and a full set of chipboard alphabet (as seen in the LO). I have used 2 sheets of Bazzill instead of the pp.

I also did this 'scary' sign for my boys bedroom.

Now I scraplifted this one, but for the life of me, can't seem to find where from or who did it first. So whoever you are, I give you the credit for thinking of this one. I loved it when I saw it and changed it just a little to suit me but otherwise it was your idea, whoever you are (sorry for not remembering)

My Kaisercraft DT entries

Just a wet old day

2009-04-24T15:45:00.004+11:00

Well its a wet, wet day here in Victoria. I must say I don't love the rain but I do love rainy days if I don't have to go anywhere. I love to watch the rain out the window and feel all snug inside the house.
So because I can't go anywhere I thought I would post some pics :)
These are some LO's I did for comps @ Scrapping Outback

Well my little man is at his new kinder. He is sooo happy and that makes me happy. Last term he had quite a few bullies at his kinder and he was acting up when he got home and coming out with a lot of out of character things for him. So I decided to move him and boy am I glad I did. The new kinder is lovely and so are the teachers. I know a few of the mums from 3 year old kinder last year , so thats nice. One mum I even know from my regular crop night I go to!!
Its a great feeling to send your child to a place that he enjoys being at and thrives from being there. Its hard to compete with his 3 year old kinder. The teachers and assistants there were just brilliant and I miss them heaps.

and a few more......

2009-04-24T15:43:00.003+11:00

Here are a few more Lo's from comps :)

Next weeks plan is to go through all my photos and put them in a box to either

A: be scrapped

B: not scrapped and just sorted into albums

Then I'll have heaps on hand to scrap and I'll stop taking more photos just because! Well that's the plan anyway ;)

I'm also looking at getting a cricut expressions machine. Anyone got one. Got any advice for me????

AND I desperately need a new camera. My P&S digital is just not making the cut anymore and my trusty old SLR is just that, too old and obviously not digital. I want a Digital SLR. So any suggestions??? Any to stear clear of?? Any info would be much appreciated, just leave me a comment.

And finally, next week I will be putting a RAK on my blog. I won it from Charmaine and I will take what I want and pass on the rest, plus add a few extras. So stay tuned........

A few LO's

Here are some LO's I have done for 'Chipboard Highschool' @ Scrapping Outback

This is a 7 week online 'school' of chipboard techniques. Last year we did 'Chipboard School' and this is the follow on from that. Its soo much fun and you get to learn heaps of new ways to use chipboard. LOVE IT :)

A Kaisercraft creation

2009-03-29T15:15:00.002+11:00

This is my latest DT creation for Scrapbook Megastore
I've used the Kaisercraft 'Fun Fair' range of PP and their Beyond the page 'Train'.

SURVIVORS

2009-03-26T12:20:00.002+11:00

I have been told they are 'Survivors and not victims' that they are still here and are all very grateful for that and would like to be known as the survivors now.

Well I have delivered the albums and scrap goodies to the girls in Gippsland. I went down last Wednesday and met up with my mums friend. I handed her some albums and then surprised her with all the goodies in the back of my 4WD. As we were unloading things and loading them in her car, she kept saying "is that it now?" and we kept laughing and saying "no just a few more". It was just amazing to be able to give something so beautiful, to a lady who has lost everything she has ever possesed, in those horrible fires. It was awesome putting a smile on the face of a woman who has been so heartbroken. I just LOVED it and I wish you could have seen her face, it was priceless. She just couldn't wipe the smile off her face and she couldn't believe that I had organised this and that I had been helped by girls all the way from QLD to WA to VIC. It was brilliant, that for the short time that I spent with her, that she could just be happy and not be sad or stressed.

I had decided after talking to my mum the night before, that I would not meet up with anyone else. We just felt that these poor people have had their lives turned upside down and that maybe they would be valueing a bit of annonymity now. So I asked mums friend (who I have also decided not to name, sorry I feel that they need their privacy now) if she would be the deliverer of all the albums and goodies and she was overwhelmed and said she would love to. She has so many friends who scrap and some who do card making too. I boxed all the scrap goodies up the night before. And the albums, I put into gorgeous gift bags.

My kids were sooo cute. They helped me pack it all into the 4WD in the morning and then when we got there they were busting at the seams to hand them over, it was an unreal thing to see. The generosity and compassion my kids showed that day made me one proud mummy, I can tell you. The kids chatted about it for ages on the way home and when they finally fell asleep while watching their DVD's, the car fell quiet and it all hit me. I was in the middle of nowhere and just burst into tears.

I feel so incredibly lucky. Lucky that my mum and dad are safe, lucky that I didn't lose anyone close to me in the fires and lucky that I live in one hell of a caring country. I feel trully blessed. It was a very exhausting day and I heard some very sad stories. These stories will be ones that I reflect back on when I am having a bad day or a day where I think life sucks and its just not going my way. I'll look back on these stories and I'll smile knowing that, yes my life is hard, but it is just like that, so I can appreciate it more and yes life sucks sometimes, but if it was easy then I wouldn't notice the little things that make my day complete. There are a lot of people, who now, don't have the chance to do that anymore....

So a big **MWAH** to all the girls that helped me...you know who you are ....and thank you from the bottom of my heart, you have trully helped to make some sad hearts a little happier :)

The rain just hasn't stopped!!!!

2009-03-17T14:35:00.004+11:00

Well its just rained and rained and poured and rained some more. We've had thunder and lighting. We've had huge winds. We've had a TOTAL change in weather!! But as long as it goes in the catchment areas, then I can put up with it.
I'll be back later with some LO's.
I'm off to Traralgon tomorrow to give out the albums.
So THANK YOU everyone who has helped me with this. I can't wait to see the faces of the ladies that will receive them. I want to also say a huge thank you to my friend Jeanne, who has just given me HEAPS of LO's in folders and heaps of scrap goodies to hand out. I will hopefully update tomorrow and let you all know how I went.
