Hi, long time no blog!! Well, we have been away, forgive me for the long post with heaps of photos, but I do look back at my blog here and there and like to see what I have written before, so it's as much for me IYKWIM?? We left here Sat fortnight ago and spent a night in Adelaide, two nights in Mt Gambier, one night at Apollo Bay, one night in Melbourne, four nights at Merricks beach on the Mornington, one at Ballarat, one in Adelaide then back home again! So we have been around!
Not very happy that my camera has a bit of dust or fluff in it, you will be able to see it on some of my photos.... Cleaned out my camera as best I could but to no avail! ANYWAY! We had a great time!

A entry in Simmi's CJ, done and posted... haven't been scrapping much at all, and have had to make myself do the CJ's that I have had. I don't have any mojo to scrap, I generally scrap at night, but have just been sitting in my lounge chair at night and reading with a rug over me. On Tuesday night I was asleep in my chair before 9 o'clock, DH rekons I was snoring.... SO, I'm going to keep up with my CJ commitments, and scrap for myself when I feel like it, I'm not going to beat myself up over it!


And a few of the photos I took of my friend the other day... They are ok, but could be better but I think she is happy with them!
Take care until I'm back from my family holiday!!

LONG TIME between posts! I have been ultra unmotivated to scrap, although when I went to Spotlight in Whyalla on Friday I still managed to spend $100 on goodness knows what!! An entry for Ruby's CJ. I have 3 CJ's sitting on my desk to do so I had better get cracking...... I really need to pull the finger out for these....
Above is a chocky cake that I made on Mothers Day, DH and i ate it with great gusto, we loved it... Cadbury packet mix, cut in half once cooked and cooled, whipped cream and choc shavings in the middle and icing and more chocolate on top!!! YUMM!!!
Below is my beautiful Roses that DH bought me! I love Red roses for some reason.... they for it for me, so Iwas a lucky Mum on Mother's Day!!!
Missy Moo dancing around in the Lounge Room, she is REALLY into dancing, singing, performing at the moment, it's really too cute!
And YESTERDAY, even though I am sooooo tired and really didn't need to make myself more mess and more tired.... I made Sausage Rolls and Pasties, have made S/Rolls heaps but first time making Pasties, pretty good if I say so myself.... I just ate some for lunch, totally worth the 4 hours in the kitchen and the aching back!!!
A friend is coming over in a while for me to take some photos of her for her Boyfriends birthday so if they turn out alright will show you some later!!!! xxxxxxx

Not much happening here... Watching the DREAM TEAM vs THE VICS on the tele tonight....

Sat down at my scrap table to make a start on one of the three CJ's that are sitting there waiting for me.... couldn't concentrate... so sat back in my recliner... there's always tommorow...

Went to a garage sale and picked a fab booster seat for Mia, it's for bigger kids like her, and I can take her seat out,wash it and put it in what will be the baby's room for future use... Also went to Andamooka with a friend and Mia to take a heap of my gear out there that I had cleaned out, the ladies out there were scrambling over the gear... I thought they could have had a bit of decorum and waited til we left to go crazy over it... There was good gear but I can't be bothered to have a garage sale and really don't have enough for one anyway... On the upside I always look at the book section and found four great books and a beautiful tea cup to drink my tea out of... the whole lot cost $2. It was $2 bag day! I got UP THE DUFF, WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU ARE EXPECTING, BABY GAMES and one called BABIES . I am keeping one and giving the rest to my cousin who is also expecting...Up the duff is hilarious.....


What are YOU up to..... I know you visit Belinda and Lucy, but does anyone else...I'll keep blogging along anyway!!! xxx

A couple of LO's from last night! The top one is for a friend on the SBM forum, her baby is so cute and whenI saw this pic I had to do a LO! I hope you like it Loz!!!
The other one is of Mia and her friend splashing in the Summertime.....
Very tired at the moment, had a little lay down for over an hour before, Mia was such a good girl, coming in to talk to me here and there, didn't go to sleep but gee it was nice!!!

A couple of pages, one I did last night of Mia's 3rd birthday, thought I had better do one as she is coming up to be four soon!!! I better go check that I have one for her 2nd birthday... I don't scrap in order, basically whatever photos take my fancy at the time, BUT I do like to do birthdays..

The other LO is of my friends daughters, they are step sisters, and love to hate each other, they have known each other for a long long time, but no longer live in the same state and I love them both with all of my heart and love this photo of them!!! xxx

LO from last night, came together quickly and i really like it, have had these pics printed out for a while but finally did the page.... I took inspiration form Mel Corbett on this page, it is loosely based on a LO I have seen of hers, just so if you recognise it Mel, I will say that you inspired me on this one!!!
Mia and I went to the park this afternoon, I took LOTS of photos, but only a few were ok, she was being a monkey and not wanting to smile, or look at the camera.... Oh well, when you are 3 you do what you want, don't you!!!!
Have a great weekend, what are you up to?? I'm having a quiet one, going to Garage Sales and there is a Car Boot Sale on tommorow aswell, so see what I can pick up for a bargain.... but have to make sure it is something I REALLY NEED!!! x
