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!

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

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!
