HI!! Long time hey! Well, it feels like a long time for me since I have posted! Above is the front and back cover for a CJ that I'm in, I need to do some more to it this week to get it moving! We have been hectic around here! Had our pool put in on Thursday, my beautiful backyard is trashed at the moment, I keep telling myself that it will be lovely again, in a few months! I finally got the photos in order of how it happened, it was a scary 15 minutes as it was getting lifted over my house, and a tense few hours before it happened!


ABOVE: Getting the straps ready to lift. DH on right. BELOW: Just starting to lift.
ABOVE: Getting higher now. BELOW: Going over the house.

BELOW: Right over the house! That's DH on the roof, he is a rigger, he had to tell our mate who was driving the crane where to go as they did not have any other way to communicate!

And a big sigh of relief as it is set down in the massive hole in the ground!


Now that the pool is in and things feel a bit normal around here, I can get some scrapping done! Have alot of ideas floating in my head but needed some time....
Thanks for popping in! xx ....

just noticed the date is really out on my blog, hope I have it fixed now but for the record, I posted this on Monday 31/03!

Happy Easter, I hope theat whoever pops inhere is having a lovely weekend with family and friends... We had bubbles and Easter Cupcakes yesterday....and Lamb and Pork in the Weber with veg, it was delicious, I really wish I had taken a photo of that... YUM!!
Easter Egg Hunt this morning... Mia loved it!

And finally, the digger, starting to dig for our pool! Exciting but far out it's been a long time coming.... Don't know whether I will recommending the pool company to anyone... It's been a bit of a half arsed show....

Anyway, hope you are having a fabbo time whatever it is you are up to!! xx

Hi, there, feels like I haven't blogged in a while. I had Missy Moo out of action from Sat to Wed with some sort of virus... When they are well, you think BE QUIET, STOP ANNOYING ME, but when they are sick, all you want them to do is make some noise and annoy you with requests to read a book for them... Monday night Mia wanted to colour in at the time she would normally have to go to bed, but I was so happy that she had the energy to want to do SOMETHING, I sat and coloured in with her.... Anyway, she is back to normal now thank goodness, I took this photo of her asleep in our bed Sat night.... Always a scrapper!!!

Don't love the LO above so much, I think that I thought about it too much, when I scrap I usually work on the LO until it's finished,but I started this Sat night and left it on the Scrap table until Wed when I finished it.....Kept walking past looking at it, and not liking it even more everytime I walked past.....Anyway, it's done now!
My friend Kylie and I the morning after her 30th. We were still in our dress ups... funny night that one was... I did get some sleep, I snuck off and went to sleep in her bed but there were a few that didn't get any sleep!!

Moo and her Aunty Ros the day after she was born, I love this photo of them, I kept the LO simple and I think I like this one the best!!


Happy Day to whoever is reading this..... Leave me a msg and say HI!!!! xxxx

Circle Journal for a swap over at SBM forum! I can't wait for this to get started and the CJ's to travel around the country! Not much happening around here, my friends kids are here and we are going to make biscuits soon!! Gotta keep little hands busy!! Have a good weekend!! xx

Week 5 for Embellished In your Skin, The nose! Don't mind this one! It came together fairly quickly. Try as I might or think about it as much as I can, I just can't put heaps of embellishments on my pages, it doesn't work for me!
One of Missy Moo, I just love this photo of her, it's another simple one, I got a little bit of DM on my cardstock, so went with the flow and dabbed it all around the bottom of the page, looks alright so am happy. I always get DM everywhere, I envy scrappers who don't have little marks or tiny creases in their pages, I guess it's what happens when I am just banging out a LO, I'm not extrememly careful with them! That's another of my traits, rough with things!!! Oops!
Last night I also worked on my front cover for a CJ over at SBM forum, another simple type of work, but I like it so far, hopefull will have it done to show tommorow!
Have 3 CJ's on the go, I like them, I love to discover more about my fellow forum chickies...... I am not spending as much time at forums, I was a bit overboard towards the end of last year, and I am just not the kind of person to comment on a lot of the threads.... I do when I really feel I have something to say!
Have decided on a theme for the 3rd CJ I have signed up for, it's Your Backyard! Not your backyard as in where your shed is and the kids trampoline, but your area, suburb whatever, places around you that you appreciate or love!
WHAT'S IN YOUR BACKYARD????
Hope whovever is reading this is having a fab day!!! xxx

No scrapping to show as we have been to the West Coast of Eyre Pen this weekend, to the hometown to help SIL celebrate her 40th birthday!
Here is Miss Moo frolicking on the foreshore Sun evening as the sun went down! She had a ball with her cousins there... It was the first time I have been to P/L and haven't felt cold,it was true Roxby weather down there! A heatwave and the locals weren't coping too well! I wasn't really either as there was no ducted aircon!!But a good weekend regardless although a long way to go... I'll have some scrap stuff to show in the next few days...
Thanks for popping in to check out my blog... leave a message if you are in the mood to!

Some things I did last night. The above is for Embellished, Week 4, MOUTH! Jeeez my chin looks a bit pimply, better hurry up and buy myself photo shop!!
And a sign in page for Simmi's CJ. I am going to have 2 (or 4-however you look at it) sign in pages so that everyone can fit in and the sign in spots not be squished together IYKWIM? Thanks for looking, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

And now for some photos!! Above are my friends and thier new bubba with one of the sets of parents... I am their resident photo snapper which is fine by me as I get baby time!!
I was trying to channel Pip Prosser! I love love love her style! It looks ok but no where near as good as hers! I think I'll just stick to going with my flow although I need to experiment with new techniques!
Which is where these books come in handy! I wonder how I never found AMAZON before! I got these from USA and it was cheap cheap cheap! Compared to the prices here in Oz! I like to buy my scrap supplies locally though! Heaps good ranges and you don't have to wait 3 weeks to get em in the post... well not normally anyway!
TFL!!!

I've been tagged by the fabulous, inspirational and supportive of her fellow scrappers..... SCRAPWITCH!!

You must post the rules before you give your answers.

You must list one fact about yourself for each letter of your middle name.

Each fact must begin with that letter. If you don't have a middle name, just use your maiden name. After you've been tagged, you need to up-date your blog with your middle name and answers.

At the end of your post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name.
(Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged and need to read your blog for details).

And so my middle name is Michelle, don't know if I can tag 6 people.... Mmmm, but I tag Melis, Lucy, Rubes, Lusi, Kayla-Renee and Lexie!!!

M MAKE-UP!!! Nah, mostly au naturale cept for when I really have to wear it!

I I love IKEA!

C Crap at being organised!!

H Hot Headed when I have to be.

E Early Riser..

L Although I LOVE my sleep...

L Like to read autobiographies!

E Evolving into a half decent scrapper (or so they tell me)

Ok, so off to go tag my people that i tagged!! Thanks Witchy, you truly are my inspiration!

Be back after with some pics!

P.S. don't know why some of the letters are big when I don;t want them to be.... doesn't look like that in my drafts.... oh well!!
