Thought I better update my blog, I know one person that reads it, hi Nanna in Hamilton LOL!!! This competition was using felt, sequence and beads. Just love this photo of Shae. The kids had to dress up as a storybook character.
Well school holidays are here again, so hopefully will be able to fit in a little scrapbooking. Life is just so busy with work. Before you know, it will be Christmas again!!
Well I have just finished my second challenge for Scrapbookstudio!! Must be on a roll! I went to the Friday Night Crop which was heaps of fun! Don't think that I got much Scrapping done, but sure did alot of socializing. Heaps of fun. Thanks girls and a big thanks to Lisa too!! And yet another amazing door prize, lucky Scrapper who won that one. The challenge packs were awesome, just beautiful, my next scrapbooking page to finish, did most of it, just have to add the finishing touches. And yet another prize pack that slipped through my fingers LOL! -
Anyway heres my August Challenge. You had to have a scallop, some fibers and hand or machine sewing. My poor baby, unfortunately he's the brunt on my joke. His find of the year was so funny, I just had to do a page on this one LOL!!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!
I haven't been a very good blogger these days. Life just gets so busy. More plastering and painting. Exciting though, my office is finally done!! Yee Ha!!! I don't feel as if I have had a lot of time to Scrapbook either so it is nice when a layout gets completed.
Anyway Lisa and Lianne from ScrapbookStudio are running another cool competition, so it's a fantastic time to get into the old Scrapbooking again.
Anyway better go, the old GST is a calling...........so exciting!!!! LOL
What a yucky old day yesterday! We had 2 kids home sick today, so we took off to the doctors and then came home and snuggled into some activities. It's nice to put all the things you are supposed to be doing aside and think buggar it, I want to do something for me for a change, which I think for all of us, doesn't happen very often. Anyway if anyone is still coming to this blog, have a great day!!
Wow it feels so good to put a layout up on my blog again! I've been so busy with the plastering and our landscaping business that I almost forgot how to Scrap LOL!! I just love this photo of my two older girls. They were so excited because for xmas they both got a huge surprise and were told that their pressie was going to Australia for a holiday!!! They did the works, Sea World, Movie World, staying in a wonderful resort, wish I could have gone LOL!!! I even asked my ex hubby if I could travel in his suitcase!!! Anyway had heaps of fun creating this one! Love these little flower buttons and have been wanting to use these Tresure Beadz for agers. And I have been dying to use these beautiful Pheobe Papers from BasicGrey. I made the little bag using paper and eyelets. Good old eyelets, who said their out of date LOL!! I have put a little pull tab with all the girls things that they did on their wonderful trip! Anyway the washing is calling me!!!
Well today I spent the day helping Lisa with her stand at SENZ 2007. Wow is all I can say amazing. So many women in one place with so much passion for this craft. Awesome energy to be around and every one had the same story. Don't show the Hubby the receipts. LOL!!! I agree totally. I didn't get a chance to look at any other store, but just walking past, you can see all the time and energy that goes into all the stands and all the people that have come along to help, just wonderful. And it was so nice to see so many familiar faces too and catching up to have a quick chat! Anyway I haven't done a scrapbooking page for it seems like agers, so I decided to load my last scrapbooking page because I feel inspired to do one soon..........
As I said in my last entry, I was going to upload a picture of my plasterwork. This is Aimees room. I'm really pleased with it. I Plastered and painted the walls. I had stripped down her old furniture and repainted it with a painted finish. And the one thing that I love about her room is that she absolutely loves it and that's what matters the most! I know I haven't scrapped in a while, but this gets my creative juices going to. And I thought I'd upload a picture on the job Adrian and I have been doing. Broody hard work, but very satisfying for us and of course the Clients.
Anyway if you have been or are going to SENZ 2007 - HAPPY SHOPPING!!!!!
Gosh I feel as if I haven't been blogging forever! There just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day! I haven't done a Scrapbooking page in agers! And I miss it, but I started a project in our house and now I have to keep on going!! I got sick and tired of waking up and looking at our unplastered house, so I decided to have a go at plastering it myself LOL!! What an idiot - I started with one wall and then I kept going!!! So far I have done 2 bedrooms, a hallway with 10 doorways and now I am in our bedroom! What a difference it make. It is sooooo nice to have painted walls and ceilings. I'll have to upload some photos soon, but hubby has the camera today, so will do it later!! That's another thing I have been doing, is helping my hubby with our Landscaping business! Boy I don't think I will have to go to the gym. Yesterday 2.5 hours digging and moving soil around a property. Today grouting a swimming pool!! By the time I go to my grave at least I can say I have tried my hand at alot of new experiences. Also the word MUG comes to mind!!! I should keep my mouth shut and make out that I can't do these things!!! LOL!! Anyway if you have stopped by and had a read - thanks heaps!!!
Well I was supposed to be in my Office cleaning it because it is an absolute tip LOL!! And that is an understatement. Anyway this photo was taken on our christmas holiday. We went down to the beach which is just a hop skip and jump from our friends beach house and as usual the kids went straight into the sand and started to bury themselves. Aimee wasn't to impressed with this photo, but I think she looks gorgeous (and secretly, I just love the colours on this towel LOL)!! Anyway time for me to be serious about me office, so until next time......
Life has been so very busy lately. The kids are all back at school, uniforms are organized, books are brought and covered, business has picked up in the Landscaping Industry after Christmas. Fantastic weather most of the time!! So many quotes to do! Life is pretty good. Been working with my girlfriend and that has been quite fun actually, loading on heaps of gorgeous products for http://www.scrapbookingbydesign.co.nz/ OMG she has got just so many products!
Anyway I finally found a little time to do a challenge that was on SBD site. You had to do a layout without a person or animal in it. At Christmas time we were in Hamilton and Jacob came in and said that he liked those grumpy flowers, and he was right, they do look like grumpy old men. Anyway here it is!!
Well I hope that everyone is having a lovely relaxing weekend. Thanks for stopping by, not sure wheather anyone does these days, I haven't had as much time to blog lately!!! Anyway Thanks if you have.......

Well this morning at 3am, I finally crawled into bed. I didn't realize what the time was, and also I was determined to finish this layout! I was in my office yesterday and was supposed to be cleaning it LOL! Yeah Right!! I came across this photo and I started thinking about how my oldest daughter is growing up so quickly so hence my layout evolved. I wanted to write something special to Aimee.
The time has just flown past so quickly. It feels as if it was just yesterday that I held you in my arms for the first time. You have now blossomed into a beautiful young woman, and before you know it, you will be all grown up. You are my oldest daughter, and together we will travel this road of life together! I love you Aimee, forever and always!
I love these fancy pants chipboard frames. They are so cool. I painted this frame. I used gin-x fabric, lil davis rickrack and heaps of other little bits and pieces. Thanks Lisa for the Feb Sketch Challenge and for NZ Dares for the circle idea. Went together really well!
This is what the kids got for their xmas present! They have used and used and used it. From 10am in the morning until after dinner they are splashing around having an absolute ball. My job is to clean and do the chemicals. And I don't actually mine because it is quite soothing. And what do you think of the pool fence! I have one clever hubby!!! Anyway off to do some more work.
Well just finished my layout when I should be looking after the kids. Aaaaahhh School Holidays, aren't they great! No rushing around, except for mums, relaxing, except for mums LOL!!! No I have been a lazy little mother today and I feel as guilty as hell!!! But I am happy that I finally got my layout finished. I just absolutely love these photos of Shae-Lee on Holiday. She wouldn't leave Lisa's puppys alone. She loved them so much and to much every now and then LOL!! We would hear a little yelp when she squeezed them to much. Poor Puppies!!! Mind you she must have been doing something right because the puppies would come back for more!!! Lisa's baby Briana has a little t-shirt which is gorgeous and as soon as I saw it, it gave me the inspiration for this layout!! Anyway hope everyone is having a great holiday and if you want leave a comment - love hearing from you all and then I can come and visit you!!!! cya!!!
