forgotten password......

I really have a good excuse for not blogging. I forgot my password. I must have somehow saved something different in logins... not too sure how i managed that. And really i haven't had any scrappy stuff to sing about!!
Boring, I know. I haven't' scrapped a thing since my last blog up date and quite frankly I feel like I've lost my mojo. Depressing hey.
I spent most of the weekend curled up in a ball sleeping. My appendix decided to have another sapck attack! Michael took me to the hospital , but because i didn't really have much of a temp they decided to leave it in and drug me up. So in between throwing up, aching like crazy I slept. I did go back to the hospital and he did say i was worse but they left them in again. If it happens again I wont be leaving, I'm not going through that again!!!!!
I'm going to try really hard to scrap on the weekend. Really I am. I'm missing it. We are going to go see Angels and demons on sat night. Can't wait to see that! Then I'm going to read the book, that way i wont be disappointed with the movie. Well that's what i figure anyway!
Cohen turned 4 on Saturday!!!! He has been having a countdown the week leading up to it. Its been a real milestone turning for him. He is a big Kindy boy now! And he is loving that. But he cant stop talking about turning 5 and 6 now! Oh Cohen don't grow anymore. I really enjoy having him at home and when he goes to school it will be way to quiet for me........
I will have to scrap a photo of him blowing out his birthday candles while hiding behind Michaels leg - was so cute! Little shy guy!

Thankyou for everyone who has visited when i haven't been bogging. How boring for you and no photo for this update!!!!

Have a great day! :)

Back in business!!!



There is a huge exciting secret scrapping secret happening over at Aussie Scrapjack!!!

If you keep checking tomorrow all will be revealed!!! Its fan - bloody - tastic! I promise you will be impressed. So don't forget to check tomorrow!!!! eeeeeek.


Ok so here is my Black apple doll I Stitched up. After receiving one from Sheree, I instantly fell in love with them - they are soooo cute!

I bought some stuff from a lady at work who sells the Kazazz scrapping goodies. I bought a scripted stamp - cant wait to use that!!! And a clearly scrapping card kit. It was really good value. It came with clear a4 sheets as well as white card stock for cards.

Anyways i decide to try a clear layout. I have been a little afraid of trying these out but i did and it turned out pretty good. Well I'm happy with it!! What do ya think? I think i will be doing another one.


Its kinda hard to tell where the edges were so I inked all the edges and i wasn't really sure where to photograph it? any suggestions for next time??? I don't have my editing software on my new laptop so I couldn't' do a thing with any photos. So I will just have to persevere until i get my programme back.

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
