Wedding weeend.

This weekend we had Bon and Marios wedding. It was a fantastic weekend. I took loads of pictures - yet blogger wont upload my pictures properly some of them are turned. Sorry bout that.

I really love this photo of Jarred and I and I'm definitely going to scrap this one.

The bridal party - Michael's there..... second bloke from the left. Dashingly handsome don't ya think!!

Another sideways thank you blogger! Michael and I during family photos.



And here is all the family on the page side. There were more but some were already at the hotel have a few beverages!! And frosty the photographer! He just kept getting in the way all day!! ha ha ha he did a fantastic job!

How could i forget to add Michael and his infamous Barra!!! It was a whopper of a fish 125cm and weighed 52 pound or 23.5 kg!! He said he was struggling to hold it long enough for this photo to be taken! Would have loved to have seen him reel it in.

And yay for me i won a rak from Sherees blog! I will take a photo of the gorgeous doll and blog that one! Cheers Sheree - go visit her blog here gorgeous family she has there.

Cheers for stopping by - have a great Thursday!

The new issue of Scrapbooking Memories came out - aaannnnnddd my first 2 ever layouts have been published together in the same issue!!! Even better there is one each of my precious boys! Here are the two layouts hope you like them:

The new challenge is up on Aussie scrapjacked. So get on over and join in to win some fabulous prize! If you have a child that is a scrapbooker they too can now join in! How great is that! And it is the most talented Ruby Blisson that has been scrapjacked this month! Here is my take on her awesome layout: I recently got some of Leanne Pearces new chippys in the post and I love them! I'm not really big on chipboard - usually but these were so easy to think about and I have done two layouts that I'm most happy with and are in the throws of completing another!!

On the weekend I went to a hens night in mildura - so it kinda spilled into a weekend do and i want to thank all the girls who were there for the funnest night i have had in years! I haven't laughed that HARD in forever!!! I even won a prize at O'Malleys for my wicked air guitar playing!!

Gone awol..

Sorry to all the blog land readers. I have had a very busy and eventful few weeks. So here it all is dot form:

• Easter - we went camping at Lindsay island with another family - was a great few days. We came back early as i had to work on the Sunday. :(
• Michael left for Northern Territory to go barra fishing at roper river.
• I worked and family helped out by having the kids. Very grateful.
• Worked all weekend.
• Took the kids to Mildura for a couple of days - we had a great time and went with Michaels sister and her two boys.
• Came home on Tuesday night. Watched TWILIGHT on blu ray - yee haa!!!!
• Sadly Elly our gorgeous little little darling Pomeranian was bitten by a snake. We think. We had a very quiet few days. The boys are devastated so are we and we miss our Elly bomb very much. She was full of life and was a crazy tiny thing. Love you Elly.
• Michael called and said they were driving home!!!! YAY!
• He caught a very large barramundi called a horse - apparently they are a fisherman's dream catch. He also caught a shark. As the rivers are tidal and hold saltwater fish as well as fresh.
• We drove to Adelaide to meet up with the fishermen and sayed in Adelaide for a couple of days. Shopped and went to the movies, spent time with Luke - Michaels brother.
• School went back and i went back to work today

So here we are. Loads happened in between but with our Elly passing everything is forgotten.

I have a new laptop and have no layouts stored on here - I did scrap a little in between. So here is the monster barra Michael caught. I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter and holidays. I will be back with happier news and some scrapping!!! Oh and keep a lookout for the next issue of scrapbooking memories I have my first two layouts in print!!! TWO in volume 11 issue 3

YIPPEE for me!! Thanks for stopping by. xx :)

• OK blogger is playing along. The big barra pic will have to wait. Sorry folks. xx

But i quickly answered yes of course so she couldn't change her mind!! HA HA HA HA I had sooo much fun playing around with the kit - which incidently is for sale now in the store. I even get to do a sketch challenge for March - which you can join in HERE and win a voucher for the boxx shop. How cool is that!!

Snippits.. :)

Just a conversation between Jarred and I. Wanted to record it as it made my heart smile.

I had taken jarred to the dentist and they had pulled out a tooth that had been hanging on by a thread for over 6 months, the new tooth had grown through already and he was a little frightened to pull it out - so they numbed his gum and yanked it out. Lots of tears and quite a bit of blood as the gum had grown to the tooth and attached to the dead gum and tooth. Gross i know.......

so i took jarred home and on the way stopped for some lunch at a store on the way home. As we were pulling out a young guy was pulling out and staring at me - like really staring at me.

me: What is that guy staring at?

me: Sheesh he is still staring

jarred: probly coz your so gorgeous!

me: ha ha Jarred your funny (meantime my heart just melted)

jarred: What! its really true mum.


oh he can be so sweet and say the nicest things just at the right time.

My sweet boy. Love him.

Slack blogger!

Hmmm i think i fit in that category! Have had a very busy couple of weeks. We are smack bang in the middle of harvest and haven't seen much of my Husband. :( He has either been and work, sleeping or home while I'm at work. So any spare time has been spent lounging on the lounge together or sleeping.

Jarred turned 7 -YES!! 7 - how did that happen? I'm such a slacker and haven't uploaded any photos, but we have had one excited boy on our hands. He is in between playing batman Lego on the ps3 or listening to music and trying every dvd he owns on his new home theatre thing. (yes i am technical savvy - that's all i know it as he he he).

Been working lots during the day so I'm too buggered at night to blog, blog hop or leave comments when i have visited. And I'm very sorry - as i know how happy it makes us to read lovely comments by our visitors!!

I have done some scrapbooking - but nothing i can share - yet!. am in the middle of doing a layout and I'm having a break from it so I'm blogging. I found a very very gorgeous layout on Leanne S's blog and I'm scrap lifting that also as we speak - type.

Kim Archer and Jane from crafty matters have joined forces and created a fundraiser workshop where all proceeds are donated to the Victorian bushfire appeal. Its a pfd file of printable tags and journal spots and it is just gorgeous!!! I have printed mine off and started (yet again!) a layout featuring them. Awesome idea and i hope they go well with it. I also added a class that i have been meaning to do - the fresh vintage one. I haven't started it yet but I'm all prepared and have even bought some packing tape!! LOL

I don't know whats wrong with my scrapping lately. I pumped out 5 layouts in two days, and ever since then, I managed to start a few layouts, and haven't finished them. So not like me. Once i start one i have to finish it there and then. I never leave layouts unfinished..... I guess at least i will have something to do over the weekend hey!!

mmmm all this typing and i have no pictures to share. :(

Next time. Thankyou for stopping by - I love getting visitors!! xx

I think I have ocd.

I really am starting to convince myself that i must have some kind of obsessive compulsive compulsion for Twilight. I check out the new moon the movie site almost daily. And i have no filppin idea why. Ok. I do, Robert Patterson is hot. Yes i do realise that. Oh and Taylor Lunther is hot too. I just am sooo addicted to these blasted books. Surly I'm not the only one? So to get the obsessive compulsive compulsions out of the way - here he is in all his glory.

*sigh*

And just because this blog is mainly about my scrapbooking (and my new found twilight addiction :) ) Here is some scrappin!!

This is my latest lo. I used an oldie Scrapboxx kit from July (i think maybe June) last year. Beautiful beautiful kit too!!! And my favourite photo of my boys and My SIL two gorgeous boys. :)

And here is my march effort for AUSSIE SCRAPJACJED!!!!! and the Jackee for march was the super talented Helen K.! I really really love scrap jacking her layout. I used some of the kit for feb from Lime Tart. Its the Laundry line from My Minds Eye. yummo stuff.

So if you need some inspiration head over to the ASJ site and check out the oodles of talent there, i was blown away by the layouts the other DTers created! They are all awesome! And there is a super cool prize up for grabs - as always!!!

Thanks for stoppin by. Don't forget to leave a comment so i know you dropped in! ;)
