Tickled pink - I have a covergirl!!!!

lol what a wonderful surprise I got this morning - Thanks Ellen for scanning it and emailing it to me!!

Very busy couple of weeks here - Girls started back at school this week so I reclaimed my house from the summer holidays - toys picked up and put away and a good proper clean throughout!! Feel so much more organised now :)

Chionia is now in Preprimary - we are slowly (very slowly!) working our way up to 5 full days a week in week 5 :) Jess is now Yr5 (where did that go!!!) and atm her classroom is currently in the library whilst they wait for a demountable classroom to be set up in a couple of weeks! Jess (and Chionia) got their haircut and this is as short as I am allowing her to cut it!! It does look really nice and so much easier to look after!

 

  

  

 

Happy Australia Day :)

Hope you are all having a good one :) We aren't doing much after being at Adventure World all yesterday - we all had a ball and some great action shot of the girls on rides etc!!!!!

Quick post and run - will try to post later - been busy with texture paste this weekend - lots of little projects on the go - as I need a few texture paste pieces I had to work them all out and texture paste at once as it does take a little while to dry. But it is working well and having fun

One of TBZ new trees - I LURVE THEM!~!!!!  There are 3 different ones and all so yummy!!!!

It is.....

such an awesome feeling when the work you do is appreciated and loved by others in the industry!!!! Last week I got a happy email from Graphic 45 asking if they could make me their feature artist for January....as you know I just love their papers - every single range of them and it would have to be one of my favourite brands. So me so it is a huge honour to be posted on their blog especially when it is so busy for them with their latest 3 new releases (oh got to get some of that Boardwalk range!) and the CHA next week  so THANKYOU to Susan and the DT for picking me :)

And as it was one of the hottest weekends in Perth (still hot today - currently 39 degrees!) I spent it in front of the fan in the kitchen creating...to match my cupboard I did on Sunday I have jsut finished this off to store all my new moulds in - - hehe I bought this little wooden "salt" box for $1.00 from the schools fete back in November - hubby just rolled his eyes at it and said what did you buy that for!!!! Well now he knows hehe!!! Thanks for looking and stay cool in this hot weather Perth ladies :)

Oh and don't forget I have a class on Saturday at Just Scrapbooking - hope to see you all there :)

altered cupboard!!!

created in 42+ heat!!!!! A good mix of Graphic 45 papers and Twiddleybitz :)

Thanks for looking - keep cool!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where do I start??

First of all a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to this years Masters - I can't wait to see the magazine :) I do believe my OTP project which was a glass bottle storage house got Honourable Mentions  (YAY - third year in a row my otp has received this!!!!). So pleased with the result. My LO's I will post soon - one of them has been picked up for an article and I want to take a better photo of my double. BUT here is my single - my greatest achievement - My wedding vows!! I know very predictable but tbh it is what I believe in - your vows represent who you are and your commitment to each other as a couple and family. It has a bit of memorabilia on it - the rings from our wedding cake, some lace, the roses etc are the flowers we had and the colours of our wedding and the wax seal we used on our invites :)

My other exciting news is I am the "Who's Who of Scrapbooking" in this months Scrapbook Creations - WOW to seeing it finally in print - I didn't really believe it until I saw it (Thanks Ellen for the email with it- I am still having trouble tracking down a copy of SC over here - 4 newsagents later and nothing - all sold out!!)

 

This following one I am actually teaching as a class at Just Scrapbooking if you are interested!! Next Saturday!!! :) hope to see you there :)

 

 And then a LO of my FIL & MIL on their wedding day - FIL is quite chuffed at it being published!!!

SC have also requested a few more LO and articles for upcoming issues so keep an eye out - I am quietly very pleased ;) hehe!!! 

um......

will be back soon with a few more creations :) Take care :)

some exciting news...

but I can't share just yet!!!!!

hehe :)

But you only have to wait a few more days :) (and NO it is not to do with the Masters lol!)

In the meantime I have been playing with Graphic 45 again (Love these papers!!! Match so well with TBZ!) I was lucky enough yesterday to get an email from G45 saying they were featuring one of my projects for their gallery -WOOHOO!!!! You can also find a copy of it in this months Scrapbook Creations........................along with a  few more projects ;) G45 have released 3 new ranges and can't wait to get them here...

In the meantime I have a few projects I need to get done so spent Friday night completing a Mothers Day project and yesterday and today working on a couple of classes for Scrap it Flaunt it and something just for me!!!! I ran out of "r" alpha's for my double so once I finish that little bit off will show that off too

and for the close ups!!!

 

Not much else happening here atm - girls are getting ratty with each other - I think we have hit the mid holiday hump :(  I have been good and started walking - must keep at it!!! and last but not least
