So, here are the 6 random things about me:
1. I love fantasy stories... especially about magic and dragons.
2. I'm left handed!
3. I love roses.
4. I hate spiders... eeeewwwwwww.....they make me cringe!
5. I've had carpel tunnel operations in both hands
6. I bake sponges and pavlova's but I don't eat them... yuck!

Ok... now I have to tag 6 people... what??? 6!!!!! you have to be joking...
I'm not very good at this... so if you're reading this blog consider yourself tagged!!!! lol

So... onto more mundane things...
Not much has happened this week.. done some scrapping and started a class with Jessica Sprague... stories in hand.
I have a little catching up to do... I've done all the printouts and done up a tin, but I need to start the stories... oh well!
But here is the tin I've done!


And I've done some scrapping today... some simple layouts for the holiday album, and one for the sketch challenge and bingo challenge over at S4L... go check them out!
But here are the layouts...





The time layout is the one for bingo and the sketch...

And other than that, I've been working on Christmas presents... I've made up some chocolate jars and some door hangers for the boys. Just have to seal those but have to wait for the boys to go to bed! Hear that... go to bed Nicholas!!!
And we've ordered their christmas presents, so that's it... we're pretty much all done!
Now just to find out who will be here for Christmas...

It's been a scrappy weekend...

Well sort of... lol
I've had a quiet weekend, doing up both Nicholas' and Kristofer's skull albums.
Finally I heard them say! But now they're done.
Kristofer has lots of pics... I think he's a natural pirate that one...
But Nicholas has only plain pages in his. I think he might just use it for an autograph book for his friends to sign when they finish primary school in just a few weeks.
But here are the pics.
Nicholas' is the black one... they're covered in Tim Holtz crackle paint... love the effect you get with that, especially when you ink the cracks, comes up a treat!



I've done some other scrapping...
Was challenged to do a girly layout over at S4L, but I didn't have any girly photos so I begged one from Shelley, who sent me some absolutely gorgeous photos, and I chose this one of Lillie to scrap.
Love the way this layout has turned out....



And I've done another couple of layouts, but still haven't photographed them yet, so I guess you will just have to wait.
Not much happening in other news either....
Danny and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary this week... I can't believe it has been 15 years since we got married... time really does fly doesn't it!

So that's about it... I'm off to do some research in family history!
So have yourselves a wonderful week!

Christmas is coming...

Mind you... if my lot don't start to behave themselves Santa won't be making a trip here!!!!!!!!!
They've been little brats all day... so over it!!

Anyway, onto other things...
I've been busy making things for Christmas....
Last weekend I did a calendar class with Beccy over at S4L... love the way it's turned out, just perfect for Mum for Christmas...












Isn't it just awesome!!!
And I've also made a clock for my FIL for Christmas too...

And don't worry... I know it's safe to put these up cause they don't go on the net...

So what else has been happening...
Yep back at work!! enough said...
And I've been working on lots of DT stuff for Shelley at S4L... but I think I will share that next time...

Ok, I'm off to do some more scrapping... take care!
