Scrapping again...

And it feels good to be back in the groove LOL...

Although today not so much as im running on 4 hours sleep... Today being ANZAC day we got up at 3am this morning to go to the Dawn serivce in Parramatta where my Dad and Pop march each year... at least this year it wasnt raining and wasnt too cold which was great. We had a great morning and then had breakfast at the RSL club...Then my sister came over for lunch (it was her birthday last wednesday 22nd April, Happy birthday sis)...so that was more fun and i got lots of photos too which i havnt downloaded yet....So that was my day today and i can say that im now rather tired and ready for bed but thought i better update this first...


Scrapping wise I have been working lots this week and had my week 3 stamping class on as well which was great... this was the page that they did in my class. The photo isnt too crash hot (will take a better one soon)...
Speaking of classes go and check out the awsome classes that are happening in May at Scraploot... Oh wow the teachers have out done themselves this month....so if you are around the area make sure you come in and see the samples they are stunning...

Ok well not much else to report only 3 more days of school holidays for kaitlyn... i think she is ready to go back thats for sure..tomorrow we are off to go and do some shopping for winter clothes as she seems to have out grown all hers since last year....then home to do some scrapping (i have a big to do list so must get it done)

ok till next time have fun

Easter Break...

Well im finally back and back into the normal routine (apart from school holidays that is LOL)... we had a great 5 days away up at Nundle... they had a Chinese Gold festival on while we were there and that was lots of fun with great stalls to buy lots of stuff (spent lots of money as usual)... we did lots of touristy things like gold panning, bush walking etc and i got some really good photos (all 491 of them)... so lots to scrap... here are a few from the trip away...


So now back to work and right back into the swing of it... tomorrow we are having a big day at work with a huge class on during the day then a night crop on... going to be a long day but should be fun... im planning on scrapping tomorrow night... have decided to do some holiday albums of all the holidays that kaitlyn and i have done so far... im starting with our Qld holiday 2 years ago... have just printed out all the 90 photos that i took LOL... so tomorrow night i plan on starting on that album....

Speaking of scrapping im right back into it again which is great... i think the break away from it all did me good... have completed one page and a mini journal book so far... will take pics soon to share...

ok off to bed now big long day tomorrow so i need lots of rest...
