I'm back! Yay, i cant believe how much one can miss their computer until it is gone!

So i have a new putey, plenty of hard drive for my pics and there is no stopping me now.

So how is everyone, keeping well i hope. I have got a whole lotta things going on around me at the moment, so I'm here to update you all.

First of all Scraptivate has now got its very own forum! Hallelujah. I can't tell you how much i have want one of our very own. so pop over an join up and join in the fun here.

Also, I have start a little photo challenge site here. So pop on over to Shutter also and sign up and join in the fun there too! We are setting a prompt every two weeks, so there is plenty of time to get out into the world and capture it. You can have as many pictures for each prompt as you like, and i know the address is shuttergirls, but it is for boys to! I be willing send a little something special to the first guy to sign up!

Ok a scrapbook up date. I have been working heaps but as I haven't had puter access since Sept I have been really slack as to taking pics of my work, but i took a couple today for you to see. Tell me what you think!

And an Olive update...... She's just about all grown up. She's totally cute and is so much fun. Even though she did knock over the Christmas tree and manage to break a few glass ornaments.

It's amazing how much has happened in the past three months and because you can't tell your stories then and there you forget some of them I am sure. Other random things that have happened......

This is Jen and me on our Big girls night out to see..............

New Moon.

We had dinner out and saw the movie. We had both been hanging out to see this since we'd been to see that last one!

I have had a wonderful Christmas break with all of my families and I'm looking forward to a grown up New Years eve Party tonight! go Jen! xxx

Well that's me till another day, stop by leave me a message, and please pop by Shutter and say hello also! Would love to see you there!

I am having trouble with my puter, hard drive is full, so i can't upload any new photos at the moment and my camera is getting very full. Hopefully we will decided on a new exteranl hard drive and ill be back in action.

Just going to leave you with a picture of myself, my Mum and my Brother from our trip to Sydney in Sept. That's how slack i have been, It's taken me three months to post a picture! hehe

Up coming class at Scraptivate...

If you would love to come along and create this gorgeous LO with me simply call Scraptivate to book in. Its a fabulous page for the more formal moment like weddings of school balls. I'll be showing you some stamping, layering and how to use Perfect Pearls on your layouts

Up coming class's at Scraptivate...

Just a quick ad for my next upcoming class's at Scraptivate. 

First we have a beautiful shadow box. Ideal for one of those very special photo's and it would also make a fantastic gift for someone as we get closer to christmas.

And then I am also teaching a Scrapbooking Lo class all about making your own embellishments from scratch. Come along a learn how to make your own faux resin embellishments, make your own flowers and much more.

Massive Update....

So I have been home a week, managed to catch a cold, have worked heaps, got a few goodies finished for classes that I will sneek peak here when I have had a little photo shoot, and Generally had a great time. 

Last thursday was my birthday, went to the movies in the day and then went to dinner with Lawley and his family, and back for cake. It wasn't just a cake, it was an amazing creation that I have been eating for a week now..........Lawley made me a peanut butter pie! I love peanut butter, but no one else in the family does, so it was all mine. There is no photo eveidence, because as Im sure it is the same for all your scrapbookers out there, if your not taking the photo's there is never either any unblurry ones, or they are just so not flattering.

Im teaching a christmas card class next week at Scraptivate so if you'd like to come along and join in the fun, and get your christmas card making under way call the shop and book yourself in.

Also I have managed to take a few pics of some work that I have done resently........I have been so bad at this of late. Let me know what you think. The first is a canvas I did as apart of the Embellished Idol comp. It's a photo of my Grandma. I've been a bit nostalgic with her of late. Things are moving on for her, Im watching her fall in to dementia, having  to move to her a home for the elderly, and her just not being herself. It's hard to watch, and it is hard to cope with. But Im remembering her......... the real her, and that's why I think I need to do this canvas. Scrapbooking is really great therapy isn't it? 

The second is a Kaiser mirror I did for a DT project a few months back at Scraptivate.

I'll Hopefully be back over the weekend to have a little picture update of my trip.
