Well it is only 6 more sleeps until Crop For Kids. So excited to be involved in this event. The girls have done an amazing job putting this all together and I just wanted to also say a big thank you to all the sponsors that have come on board. I so wish that I could go as I know it is going to be such a great day. Lots of auctions for layouts will be happening on the day including a layout by lil ole me! LOL. So please help support the day and go along if you can.
Whilst I had a busy day today I still mentioned to get in a little bit of creative play. A nice simple layout in 8x8 format for my childhood album. This layout is about "Pink and Pretty Barbie". The ONLY Barbie doll I ever owned. She was so special and I so wish that I still had her. My boys are going to have so much of this sorta stuff even if they don't want it! LOL. I did a Google image search for her and came across this pic which was perfect for that I wanted to do. There are a few other pages that I want to do like this. Do you remember the Atari...... Baby Alive......Commodore 64........Strawberry Shortcake........the list goes on! What fun memories to scrap.
Bazzill cardstock that has been edged in Pink Matisse paint. MAMBI Chester paper, ric-rac and HS plastic lettering.
I just wanted also to say thank you to each and everyone of you out there that reads my blog. I have made so many amazing new friends through here. I love sharing my creations with you and I love seeing yours. Make sure you say hello if you haven't before. ;)
Here we are at Week 12 of Em's Art Challenge. I am just having so much fun with it all and love seeing what other's have created. Some amazing women out there creating that I have connected with. So... so... cool!
This week the theme is i believe.... I have always been a big believer in destiny, fate or whatever you want to call it. So many things have happened in my life that can only be explained by destiny. I start to think about it ... even something as simple as ...... if I didn't go to the highschool that I did ultimately I would not have met my husband. Even though we didn't go to school together! I wouldn't have been coaching the netball team at my school, I wouldn't have been in the precise place at the precise time that I met him. If I hadn't gotten involved in Camp Quality I would never had met my friend Tanya and Jack's Godmother would have been someone different. If I hadn't decided to go to a craft show then somewhere else I wouldn't have stumbled across scrapbooking and well we all know how devastating that would have been! So many things could have gone a different way if......... When I start to think about all the what if"s.... well it can send you down so many different paths to where you are now. But I must admit that someone must be looking down on me because so far all those choices I have made have brought me where I am today. A place and time in my life where I am content.

Speaking of creating.... head over to Nichol Magouirk blog and check out the amazing online class that she is running soon. I have been a fan of Nichol's for ages and am so excited about being able to do her class. You receive EVERYTHING in the class kit to complete the project as well as a special blog set up for the class. When you look at how much is in the kit it is just packed full of yummy stuff.
Ok so most of you know that I am a pretty excitable girl and don't really need much encouragement! ;)
Well check out that sidebar over there <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Do you see that it is only 30 days and a bit till Freestyle DownUnder. Like what the???? Who stole all those countdown days when I first put it up on my blog??? So with the anticipation of the girls heading down under they are giving away a free class each on their blogs! Wooo hoooo!!!! So head on over and tell them Lee sent you!! Hee hee hee.......
Been going through my photos this afternoon sorting them out. Have started using my RAW function on my Pentax Camera. Have you used the RAW feature? So so cool. It has helped out my photo-editing to no end. So wish I had found it sooner. (OK so if I had read my manual maybe I would have)
Just wanted to share this photo that I took the weekend before last when we took the boys bike riding. Can't believe how big these guys are getting.
Ok so I think that body is starting to recharge after a really hectic week at work.Now I know why I chose to only work part-time. I don't know how those of you that work full-time and have a family can do it. It is just exhausting. I have been tired, cranky and just plain miserable to be around! At least next week will be back to normal ... LOL.
Have been busy working with my Lime Tart kit. You are going to LOVE it! This month I have done a special little project that I am just loving how it is turning out... featuring some amazing women.
Also got a chance to do my Week 11 of Em's challenge.... your initials....
Had a little fun with this one. So not the type of work that I do but loved how it turned out. After all that's what this challenge is all about.
Front- Felt background (that for some reason looks purple but it is blue), Felt initial that has been stitched around. Gorgeous little felt flower and flower embellishment from Birgit.
Back - Bazzill cardstock, another felt flower and button.
As if there wasn't already such stunning kits on Lime Tart today we released the new Gourmet Tart by Mel. I am totally loving the colours in this kit! You can see all of Mel's stunning creations in the new Gourmet Gallery. But you better be quick because they are only a limited edition kit. Stay tuned for more kits coming soon.
Also a Happy Birthday to Lyn today too!!!
I had so much fun making the "Always You" layout for Jack the other day that I knew that I had to do one for Ben as well.
Bazzill cardstock, PP from Scrapworks, Scenic Route, KI Memories, HS Chipboard letters, MM buttons.
Also my April kit from Lime Tart arrived last week and I have been playing with it this weekend. You are going to love it.
