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....

A new year a new project

So who else has started Project 365 by Becky Higgins.
There seems to be a lot of people out there doing it. And I've heard so many wonderful ideas of doing it too....

But I'm doing an art journal. Taking a photo each day and scrapping it into 1 layout a week, focussing on the little things in life. Hopefully by the end of it, I will have a wonderful album I can look back on and remember all of the little things that have happened this year to make up a wonderful year.

So here is the opening page and weeks 1 and 2.




I've also done some layouts for a project coming up at Scrapbooking 4 Less... keep your eyes tuned... it all happens in February!!!!!
But this weekend is the first cybercrop for the year! And this one is being run by the gorgeous Kelly. She has challenged us to 2 layouts and an off the page with the theme being family...
So here are the results of my scrapping... 2 layouts and the off the page is a coaster than is for my desk for work. I've been meaning to do it for ages.




So keep on scrapping... and hopefully after I finish doing something with 40kg plums (I kid you not!!!) I will manage some more scrapping!

Merry Christmas!

Ok... I'm a tad late, but things have been fairly hectic here...
I was going to post this a week ago, but time got away from me. We had a busy lead up to Christmas.
Nicholas had his Year 7 graduation, and he won 2 awards... maths award and the science award! We are so very proud of him... he worked hard and it showed! But OMG... he goes to high school next year.... when did this happen??????
Excuse me for a moment while I go sit in the corner and suck my thumb in denial....

ok....

so what else... well mum and dad were down for Christmas, but we still had barbecues left right and centre... lol but at least Christmas day itself was reasonably quiet, and the boys got totally and utterly spoilt!!

On the scrapping front not much has been happening what with Christmas and everything else.
I did get a new album done for my desktop... I used a Kaiser Craft wooden calendar, but just did small layouts on them... 7x7... and used photos I've already scrapped or variations of them.
So here are the pages....














Some of these pics aren't very good but I still love the way it's turned out!

So enjoy your New Year.... may you have all the blessings you need!

Back to work...

lol... after the fun of the last week and the Masters, I guess it's time to get back to work.
I haven't posted in a little while now and can't remember the last layout share I did....
But I know you haven't seen these layouts yet... so here you go...






I especially love the Lest We Forget layout... it's of Jonathan on Anzac Day 2008 when we went to Perth. He stood to attention the whole time...

So what else... Christmas is just around the corner and thankfully all my shopping is done. Just have to pick up a layby, but that's no hassle....
Mum and Dad are coming down, but that's all so it'll be a lovely quiet Christmas for us... woohoo!!!!

And this week is the last week of school for the boys. The last 4 days of primary school for Nicholas... he has his graduation tomorrow night.. OMG... I'm not ready to be the mother of a teenager... one in high school... hang on... where have the last 12 years gone...
Ok.. I'm going to go sit in the corner and cry for a little bit... what happened to my baby????

Time to let the cat out of the bag...

The masters were all announced yesterday and to my surprise my name was on the list...

Suddenly I'm famous and there have been lots of hits to my blog....

But there's bad news...























Sorry girls.... it ain't me....lol.... nope most definately not! It's the OTHER Toni Crane, in Queensland....
I never even entered... I have more than enough to do without being a master!

It's been good for a laugh... but seriously I would like to congratulate everyone who even had the courage to enter!

Me... I'm going to continue plodding along the way I am at the moment, enjoying my scrapping and having fun! What more can I ask for....
