Catch up again

Well lots have been happening lately… First things first last weekend we had our first ever Scraploot retreat. We all went to Wisemans ferry for the weekend… It was such a fun time.. the accommodation and food were awesome and scrap wise well didn't get much done, in fact i only got 2 cards made LOL… on the Saturday night we had a masquerade party and bbq dinner by the pool…Rach and i got brenda to take some pics of us…here are a few of them

it was a great weekend with great friends… thanks for all the laughs

I have finally had a few days off from work…this weekend was alot of fun relaxing (and having a sleep in LOL)

Yesterday my dd competed in her last competition for the year in her Physie teams comp… there are 8 girls in her team and they all did extremely well… they came 2nd place which is awesome… they were all very proud of themselves that's for sure…

On the scrapping front not alot has been happening… still no inspiration to scrap (if you have any ideas please let me know)… i am going to try and do some this afternoon when i clean up this room a bit… maybe putting my stuff away will inspire me LOL… i can only hope LOL…

Ok off to get cleaned up and organised to relax for the rest of the afternoon…

Class has started

So i have just started Shimelle’s online class today Blogging For Scrapbookers. Im hoping that by joining in this class my blog wont be so neglected… and also hoping that it will motivate me to scrap again… its been so long since i have done both of these things and im hoping now it will go back to normal… mmm we will see LOL..

So today i start blogging again and wanted to say hi to all the new people that are visiting my blog…

But first things first i really need to unpack my bags from my weekend away at the Scraploot retreat… it was a great weekend and ill be back soon with pics to share….

Will be returning shortly

Yes i know slack slack slack LOL... but i will be returning to blogging very shortly... just signed up to a great new Shimelle class (yes another one im such a shimelle groupie LOL)... this class is all about scrapping and blogging...so im sure this will make me blog more often....

time again

Thought it was about time for another update since again its been awhile...

Ok first things first i am one proud mum at the moment... My gorgeous girl has done 2 amazing things in the last few weeks... firstly she went in her first physical culture competion which was held down in Mittagong... we all took the trip down there to watch her... she was so nervous but looked so cute all dressed up in her new outfit... i paid for her to get her hair and makeup done (as it has to be a certain way for comps) so she looked beautiful...she did so well (i was definatly one of those nervous mums on the sideline LOL) but she went out and did all her dances very well and came FIRST place in her section... wow she told me i was embarrassing cause i screamed the loudest LOL... but i was so so proud of her and she couldnt stop smiling (plus we had to ring every family member we could think of to tell LOL)... she got a certificate and medal as well.. her next comp is this sunday so we get to do it all over again....

the next big thing was she came home from school this week with her results from her computer test she did... they do these uni tests at school that you can do and she chose to do the computer one... well she got a distinction she was in the top 7% of NSW... very proud of my girl....

So as you can see lots happening around here...scrapping wise the new challenge went up over at Dream Girls... this challenge was alot of fun but definatly a challenge... go and check it out and give it a go... here is my page i did for this challenge

and lots of other scrapping happened over the weekend which was fun but cant share they are for classes at Scraploot so go and check them out there....oh and if you want something to do this saturday night come and join us for our scrap night ring the store to find out more details... lots of fun....

Ok off to do some more stuff have a few things i must get done....plus im trying to reorganise my scraproom (little bit by bit lol)

scrapping

Well ever since getting back from Melbourne not much scrapping has been happening... but i think i have my scrap groove back.... ive been scrapping up a storm these last few days...

I have finished off a album for work (opps forgot to take pics of it)... plus i have done my first week of my new class that is starting in september (make sure you check out the scraploot store for more details) if you love Tim Holtz products like i do then definatley check it out....

So i have also just started another Shimelle online class (love her stuff)...this class shows you how to use your printer to its full advantage... lots of fun stuff... we have done 2 pages so far one was just a basic printer technique (this is for the title page)... this is how mine turned out... have decided to do this whole album in 8.5x11

and the second page is using label stickers how cool do they look will have to use these again i think....

So thats about all for now... im half way through another page and will share that when i have finished....
Ok off to clean up the mess
