A new blog...

As if I don't have enough to do, I've decided to start a new blog and add a photo a day... ok... I could be slack here and only post once a week, but I will take a photo a day just so I've got a snapshot of our year...
It might not be anything fancy, but hey... if I can keep it up it'll be great!

So drop by every so often, and view a snapshot of my life....

Design Team Call...

Hey girls...
Is anyone looking at applying for a DT position this year???
If so Shelley at Scrapbooking 4 Less is looking for a new Design Team...
So if it's on your list of goals for this year go take a look... here is the link...

Shelley really is a great person to work for so I advise you to go and have a look and get scrapping....

New...

Yes... it's a new year, so I've decided it's time for some changes.
By the end of last year I had found that I had lost myself, so I decided that this year I would get myself back on track.
Last year was really a very big year for us as a family and especially for dh and I as parents. It was a major rollercoaster ride for us all, but we managed to all survive and I think we've all come out at the end of it much stronger and better people, with the confidence to know who we are.

So this year I'm going to get myself back on track and also my scrapping. So I've decided to give my blog a new look, but watch out... there could be more changes as I work through the year.
One thing that's not going to change is sharing my scrapping. I love to share the projects I do and I hope you all enjoy them.

But unfortunately there's no scrapping shares today. I've spent the new year reorganising my scrapping space and my stash to help encourage me to use everything I already have. I really need to curb my spending habits... lol... but don't we all.

So I hope you've all had a great start to the New Year and lets all hope this year is the beginning of bright new opportunities for us all!

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!

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!!!!
