Big Share.. Holidays, back to School and Scrapping

I have been on holidays and very busy spending time with DD before back to school.

She is a big tweenies fan and they were playing at the local shopping centre so we went to see the show.

We also have been catching up with friends, we have been to the park and to the movies we have seen bedtime stories.. loved this movie. We also saw hotel for dogs which I hadn't heard much about but was surprised how much I enjoyed it.
We also went to the sunshine coast for a few days to stay with a friend. A great time was had by all, the kids had fun playing together. Enjoyed the beach and I even got some scrapping done. I haven't take photos yet but I will share soon.
We had a BBQ on Sunday for Australia Day with the Family. My cousin was down visiting from NT so was good to catch up. There was plenty of drinking, australia dress and of course sing star. What is a party without sing star.



Today was the first day back to school for Grace. She started Grade 1 she was happy to be in the big school as prep was in a seperate section. She was not overly happy about going back to school this morning, I think she enjoyed holidays too much but I knew she would get back into it. The report this arvo was much more positive, she had a great day and is excited about 2moro. Here is a couple of pics.




Last but not least some scrapping. There is a Australia Day weekend challenge happening over at http://www.scrapbookdivas.com.au/. The first challenge is to use the title of an australian classic song in the title, some green and gold and journalling. This is my take on the challenge












The 2nd challenge was a letter challenge... everything starting with A. I used Angel as my title,Apricot C/S, Alpha blocks paper, American Craft thickers and Elements, Acrylic Stamping on letters and Angel Wings.









I haven't done the third challenge yet, but hope to get it done before the deadline 2moro night. I also have some more LO's I need to photograph and share.


Hope all of you that had little ones off to school, it all went smoothly.

Scrapping Weekend

I am finally on holidays from work after working thru christmas/new year. I'm off now till school goes back to spend some quality time with DD Grace. I am also looking forward to have some extra scrapping time.
On Friday night I did this layout for the monthly diva challenge at http://www.scrapbookdivas.com.au/ it was a summer challenge. You had to use Yellow, chipboard, stamping and summer in the title or journaling.

Yeah it worked.. never uploaded to blogger before. I need to get better at taking straight photos of my layouts.
Last night I had some friends over for a scrap night and we scrapped till very late or should I say early morning (we probably shouldn't have had redbulls @ 9pm LOL) but we got heaps done. We were lucky enough to go create 08 with heidi swapp in December so we have been trying to finish our calenders and we got most of that done last night which is fantastic. Well take photos when I am all finished, just a little bit more to do.

1st Blog Post

Well I have finally done it.. I got myself a blog. I have been following many of my online scrapping friends blogs for so long now, I thought it was about time I joined in and shared as well.

Being the New Year, I thought it was a good time to start. I look forward to sharing my scrapping and some pieces of my life with any of you that will read my blog.

Stay tuned
