Yah.....

Finally some scrapping happening here... lol... and no sorry... can't share... all secret santa stuff....But I do promise I will share when I'm allowed to.
But it's been fun.

And I also found time to rearrange my scrap room. Yes I'm anal about this and tend to do it every so often... as they say a change is as good as a holiday.
But now I have a bigger desk (I "borrowed" one of the tables we took camping) so now I have a desk that is 1.8m long.... gotta love that!
And I also bought a tv shelf unit that holds my KNK and printer. Works a treat actually.
So here is a collage of pics of my room... my space...


But other than that...not much else has been happening.
The votes came in for the Student Council elections for Nicholas's school and unfortunately he didn't get on the council.
BUT I am very proud of him for getting into the top 16 and for doing the best he could. It doesn't matter to me that he didn't get on the council... what matters to me most was that he tried. That was what made me very proud of him.

So life is back to normal now... Mum and Dad have headed off to Albany for a couple of days before heading off home. Sounds like they had an absolute ball and are already planning the next trip.
One day Danny and I might do that too... oh well....

back to reality tomorrow and back to work... hi ho hi ho off to work we go..... have a fun week won't you....

and don't forget to leave a comment... even just a hello!

Hello....

Yep... really snappy there aint I.... lol
Well my excuse is my mind isn't really there at the moment... I think it's daylight savings... yes you can keep it!... then again it could be because I have so very very much going on at the moment.

Mum and Dad are here at the moment. Got here on Friday and are here until Friday... they're on their way home after travelling for the last 8 months. Been lots of places, but as they said... there's a whole lot more out there in good ol Oz still to see....
So I've been relatively quiet catching up with them the last couple of days.

Also I've been doing a lot of DT work this week too... and sorry... no more sneak peeks... you'll just have to wait and see.... hahahahahaha... but I still have lots more to do though too....

and cause all the dt stuff I'm doing at the moment is related to Christmas... I discovered I don't have any Christmas photos left, so I set the kids up the other day and took their photos... lol


Just cause Jonathan wanted to play games... and Kristofer wanted to watch tv... but eventually I got some good ones...
oh, and in the process burnt dinner! oh dear me... lol

So what else... Kristofer and Jonathan asked Danny to take the training wheels off their bikes today and yes.... off they went... suddenly they're riding their bikes on two wheels... noooooooooooooooooooo... that's not allowed yet....
I think they're growing up too fast... especially when I got a note home from Nicholas' school at the beginning of the week letting us parents know that they were starting sex education....
hang on... but they're still little boys... they can't grow up this fast... hey... slow down a little down... please... just for this mum... I can't deal with this!

I think I need a drink.... or maybe chocolate! hmmm now that sounds better...

ok off to find the chocolate... take care... and don't forget to leave comment to be in the running for a Pay It Forward!

Sneak Peek....

Because Christmas is only 52 ... yes you heard correctly... 52 days away Jenny over at RJR has given us permission to share sneak peeks of the ribbon she sent the DT this month....
And because it was so gorgeous I started playing before I took a photo of the ribbon so I have a sneak peek of one of the projects I've done....


So if you're looking for some ribbon to add a touch of class to your Christmas presents, for you Secret Santa or just to increase your stash... head on over to Really Just Ribbons.
And if you're lucky Jenny still has the American Craft Ribbon on special... I think I left some in the shop... lol.. and don't forget to check out her off the page items too... they're gorgeous!

So what else has been happening... I've been tagged....by the lovely Gayle S...
So here are 7 random facts about me...

1. I'm left handed.
2. I'm allergic to Penicillin.
3. I have never ever been out of WA (yes I've led a sheltered life!)
4. I've already booked into the Boxx retreat for next year woohoo!!!
5. I hate ironing with a passion... who would like to do mine??
6. I have a fear of spiders.... just those big huntsman things..... yuk!
7. I have a fear of meeting new people.... I'm so scared of making a fool of myself!

so now I have to tag 7 people.... ummmm.. ok... I'm going to cheat here... if you haven't been tagged yet... consider yourself tagged! :)

And also I won a Pay it Forward from the gorgeous Bec... so now it's my turn to Pay It Forward. If you leave a comment on my blog over the next 2 weeks I will put all the names in a hat (ok maybe a box...) and draw out 3 names to win something handmade from me, and then those 3 will have the opportunity to pay it forward to someone else. Now don't worry if you don't have a blog, you can always make a post on a forum and get 3 names from there to pay it forward.
This is a wonderful way of sharing the love!

Hope you all have a lovely day and feel better than I do (ruddy flu!)....
Luv 'n' hugs
Toni.
