Do you live in Queensland????

And wanna go on a retreat????? Well Shelley at S4L is having a retreat in May...I so wanna go, but unfortunately for me it's just too far away... :(
But I thought I would share the link with you all... now aren't I generous???? sharing my little secret with you all????
Here's the link....

Go if you can... I'm sure it will be a whole lotta fun....!

This week I took delivery of some new Kaiser Craft OTP stuff.... a recipe box, recipe book holder and also a memo board...
I just couldn't wait to play... so here are my pics...




Used Kaisercraft Sakura range for it and it does look awesome... especially IRL!

And here is the recipe book holder

Unfortunately you can't see all the detail in the photo but it does look awesome! I used a fancy pants overlay, which will help to protect it.

And I've also run the Blind Scrapping challenges at S4L this weekend... you still have time to enter if you hurry....
Here are the layouts I did for it... very simple ones, but then, everyone is so very busy lately!



And of course, it's week 8 in Project 365...



And if you've managed to make it this far, here are the rest of the layouts from this week...lol






Well if you've made it this far... well done. Hope you leave a comment and make sure you have yourselves a fantastic week!

One week...

One week... this week. Everyone in some way has been affected by the fires in Victoria. The death and destruction is terrible. But what amazes me is that people have deliberately lit some of these fires...
But it has made me stop and think... if we were faced with something like that what would we do... go or stay? what would we save if given the chance? Even though I know that a lot of people in Victoria had no chance to save anything, I've given thought this week to what would be most important besides the kids and what I would save given enough time to grab them.
And it surprised me what I decided... the birth certificates and photo negatives, my computer and external hard drive with the photos on them, the boys special teddies and something that could never be replaced... a book that belonged to my grandmother, and her grandmother before her.
The scrapbooking albums, everything else could be replaced, but the photos, the special things... that's what can never be replaced.


But on to other things... I managed to get a little scrapping done this week... finished most of the challenges that I'm involved in, so here's a look-see...






I hope everyone manages to have a better week.... take care!

It's been a busy week...

And I've managed to get a lot of scrapping done!!!!! woohoo...

So here goes my share....

This is a mini album I've done using the few christmas photos I took last year... didn't take many but enough for an acrylic album...












And I've managed to get some layouts done too some for various challenges...






And also managed to get my Project 365 up to date too...



But that's not all... I managed to also get the DT layouts done for Scrapbooking 4 Less this week too...but sorry... can't share yet!!!
But if you're looking for a challenge, go check out Scrapbooking 4 Less... there's bingo, whisper, ongoing challenges, sketch, sketch recipe, DT pack, photography challenge.
And shelley has started a new blog, Pink with One... running a challenge each month pink with another colour... so there's definately no shortage of challenges to keep you busy...

And my thoughts are with everyone over east at the moment, fighting the fires and floods...

Bad Blogger...

Aren't I just....
But things have just been so busy lately... lots to do and lots of plums to sort... thankfully the only ones left now are the ones in the fridge for the kids to eat!!!!!

But anyway... I have managed to get some scrapping done over the last couple of weeks, so I'll just share them...

Here are the last 2 weeks from the Project 365...




I have week 5 to do but will work on it tonight...

Here are some layouts I've done.. all of these are from Port Denison... I've finally finished the last of the photos to go int he holiday album...
But that doesn't mean that's the last of the photos... I think I take too many... lol











And last week a good friend of mine from work left... But I made her a leaving present so that she could always remember Esperance...




We will miss her... but 2 years and she'll be back!!!! she'd better cause we're all counting down until her return!

But other than that... the kids are all ready for school... now if I can get them to sleep tonight.... wish me luck!!!

I think I've bored you enough now... but next time I have some more to share....
