Sunday

And another week closer to christmas... just what you wanted to hear... NOT! lol

Not much scrapping from me this week.... I've been dragged kicking and screaming into reading the Twilight series... and yes of course I've been sucked in...
I'm up to Breaking Dawn, so I'm certain that will be finished by the middle of the week...

But yesterday I resisted the urge to read and completed my last project for the Websters Pages 12 Days of Christmas... the chipboard house.
I so wanted to do this as it was just beautiful. I used the Nature's Storybook range of papers and I love the way it's turned out.
Mind you... what I want to know is why I have the urge to handcut all the beautiful designs out of the paper????

But here's the pics... warning... lots of them!













And last week I also promised you a pick of a pressie...

Yes another advent calendar... similar to mine, but this one was for a good friend... I hope she liked it!

12 days of Christmas...

and isn't Christmas getting closer....

But the 12 days of Christmas I've been doing has been over at Websters Pages. There's so much inspiration it's incredible.
And there's step by step instructions for each project too...

WARNING: Pic heavy... lol

And I'm so excited because this little project one a prize...


I am so very happy with the way it turned out... and yes it is a glass frame. It was going to be a present, but I love the way it turned out!

And here are my other projects for the challenges...









And then there was this mini book... yes I still have to add the photos when I take them...










And I did one more project, but can't share just yet.... it's a present for a friend... so watch out for it!

A busy week

Scrapbooking of course....

There's been a cybercrop over at Scrapbooking 4 Less... until Tuesday night to get your layouts in so if you're looking for a challenge go look....

Here are my layouts for it....




Thanks for some great challenges Beccy...

And then there's also been the 12 Days of christmas over at Websters Pages. These are one of my favourite paper lines atm....
If you want drop on over and have a look as there's also instructions for each of the projects if you want to try something different...







And I've also managed to get a few layouts done too....




But this week is going to be busy too... I'm working on another advent box, as well as the rest of the challenges at Websters....
It's going to be fun!

November...

It's already November... can I ask what happened to January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September and October....? Where did they go... I really don't remember them much...

Can I get off this merry-go-round just for a little while... just stop so I can get my head around things... please....
Sometimes that really what I want to happen... time out from the world and the world just stops still.... do you think it will ever happen???
No I didn't think so...

Oh well.. onto brighter things... scrapbooking!!! woohoo...
and yes I did have a big woohoo the other week with Webster's Pages featuring my Advent Calendar on their banner of the week... I was amazed and such a big woohoo moment!!!!

AND I've also managed to get some layouts done finally... I've been very lacking in that department for quite a while... just haven't had the inspiration so here's some layouts I've managed over the last couple of weeks...






I've also managed to get my Kaisercraft Christmas Star wreath done, but I don't have any photos yet... it got "borrowed" by the Esperance Express Shop to display in their shop...lol....
I should have it back by the weekend... I hope...

ok... there's my update... but if you're looking for some scrapping fun, check out Scrapbooking 4 Less this weekend for their Cybercrop...
Lots of fun and games and challenges!!!!

It's been a busy week....

But only 1 project...lol
This week I worked on my Kaisercraft Advent Calendar.
I used Websters Papers and lots of other little bits and pieces and even though it was very very fiddly, it's come out gorgeous if I do say so myself.
I'm very pleased with it...
So here are the pics... including lots of detail pics, cause I couldn't pick what was my favourite part...

Happy little vegemites...

See I told ya I'd remember to update... lol... well that's if anyone ever reads this blog any more...
We're a happy household this weekend after the local show. The kids worked hard and did very well, with 5 firstsm 3 seconds and numerous merits between four of the kids so they were absolutely wrapped.
And I did well too... was very pleased with 6 firsts, 3 seconds and 3 thirds. I also got most points in scrapbooking and for the first time I got the grand champion rosette for my Kalbarri album. I was absolutely wrapped to get that for the first time.
So here is a share of a few pages from the album....

Yes....

I'm back and I'm bad.... lol

You get that. There has just been so much going on and honestly I haven't had the energy to blog.
It's even been hard to post on my regular websites I visit.... so I have to apologise for my quietness everywhere. I'm hoping that things settle soon and life can settle into a routine and something resembling normal...
Not that I remember what normal is now....

So what has happened in the last couple of months...
DS went away to U13s hockey in Narrogin, and then was selected to try out for the Great Southern Regional team, so that was another trip away. Unfortunately he didn't get selected....
We went on our holiday to Carnarvon... had a fantastic time... the weather was beautiful and so was the country side... very relaxing... just what we needed...
what else...
DS was selected for Indoor Hockey in Perth on the last long weekend... he loved it and the team came 4th... well done considering they don't play indoor down here...
And we've just finished 2 weeks of school holidays and I've just finished 2 weeks holiday too.
This one was good... I managed to get lots done around the house, spring cleaned, gardened and managed to get new curtains made too...
It feels good to have accomplished so much....

And as far as scrapbooking...
Yes I've been doing a little, not as much as I used too... but still enjoying it.
I'd share some layouts but honestly I can't remember what I've shared and what I haven't so I think I will leave it to next post and start a new leaf...

So on that note I think it's time for me to go to bed... nite nite!!!
