Sunday Scrapping:)

Hmm, I like the sounds of that..think I could make it a weekly thing?

I did a final LO with my Enchantress kit from Wicked Princesses. This kit was SO much fun!

I foud a handmade flower tutorial here, and decided that the PP that came with the kit would be perfect for it!

The hearts seemed like a good idea at the time, but two hours later, after punching, inking and then only starting to stick them down, I was re thinking this decision....LOL

I saw this, (scroll past the garland to the gift box) and wanted to make something inspired by it...and this is what I came up with!

Kerryn from D2U also made something similar with circles ...just gorgeous

(so a LO very heavily inspired by lots of stuff!)

Love that photo...poor old grumble bum Nat!

And I also did a LO for the sketch challenge at D2U,

Designed this month by the fabulous Kerryn!


I used some lovely Pink Paisley papers...


So quick and so easy! You should totally give this sketch a try, it practically scraps itself, and you may even win a $10 voucher!

Valentines Day should be Cancelled...

And a National holdiday should be started for my dads birthday...

LOL Happy birthday dad. You are SO right...valentines day should be all about you!

Love you:)

Friday Faves!

Oh my gosh...this week, felt like it went FOREVER! That may have been because I was a single mummy for the week. I suck at being a single mum. Ladies, I really don't know HOW you do it. I was curled up ina ball rocking by Tuesday! LOL

#1 this week, is my as yet, un used by me Bind it all!!! It arrived today! A lovely blogger was selling this, and my lovely friend Lauren saw that it was for sale, and let me know! How cool is she??? I posted before Christmas that this was on my wish list and she remembered! It is even pink!!!

Sam and I went out on Monday for morning tea with lauren and her lovely family, SO much fun! I however had forgotten to take my Celebrity Slim shake and had to cut the visit short...I truly am SO disorganised! #2 Now some people only get to hear the Happy Birthday song once or twice a year. Not so at our house!

The Happy Birthday song is our new measure if time! The kids ask how many Happy Birthday's long they have to clean their rooms, brush their teeth (hard to sing whilst brushing, so I sing while they brush) and washing their hands.

So funny. I keep hearing happy birthday sung from the toilet..LOL

#3 The sheer awesomeness and generosity of Australians following the Victorian bushfires.

We have been accepting donations at the bank. Each day the account is cleared and the tally begins afresh. This morning my first deposit into the showed that the balance of the account was at about $150 000. By lunch time it was over $1million. WOW.

This is happening every day. (This is not just a local account. Donations Australia wide are accepted into the account)

I just feel SO glad to be an Aussie!

#4 Ratings period TV.

Ahhh, all my fave shows are back on. No more tennis or craptacular re runs.

Criminal Minds (or Savage Killers as Mick calls it)....

Lie To Me....

(I would hate to work or live with this guy. He is SO honest and can totally tell when you are fibbing)

And Greys. Ah, Greys. My all time fave forever and ever...we are BFFs:)

#5 is Sam's 'monkeys'.

He made these monkeys at Day Care last week. And they have been taken with us everywhere. They are a broken clothes peg with a furry pipe cleaner wrapped around them.

I am not sure what makes them monkey-ish in his eyes, but he LOVES them.

And we learned the 5 Little Monkey's Jumping on the Bed song...seemed appropriate somehow LOL

Sooooooo...what are yours?

Some Wicked LOs:)

Its that time of the month...nooooo, not THAT time, its show and tell time over at Wicked Princess Kits! I was lucky enough to get the Enchantress kit this month...just PERFECT for valentiney, lovely girly type pages:)

And I even managed a valentine LO without the perfect pic LOL
My husband ALWAYS pulls a wierd face when the camera is pointed his way. I believe he thinks its funny....


And I got some My Minds Eye Laundry Line to play with in this kit too....

And a card with the scraps:)

I am still working on another couple from this kit...so stay tuned;-)

Victoria.

I really just don't know what to say.

Its devastating, obviously. 181 confirmed dead, with more expected to be found. Its just horrible. I have been sitting each night, unable to go to bed or turn off the television, just watching the news and updates. Those poor people.
I am going to donate money, I feel as if thats pretty much all I can do.
(the following details stolen borrowed from Lu's blog)

To donate to the Red Cross State Government Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fund:
* Visit www.redcross.org.au
* Phone 1800 811 700
* Any NAB, ANZ, Westpac or Commonwealth Bank branch
*Any Bunnings store
* By direct deposit to the Victorian Bushfire Relief Fund - BSB 082-001, Account number 860-046-797


I keep picturing Mick when I think of those brave fire fighters down there fighting these fires. I know how I feel when he goes to a fire here (and they are nowhere like these, not even in the same realm) And I feel sick. Those poor families.

So I guess, this rambly post is just to say I am praying and donating and watching the updates. I don't know what else to do:(

Wednesday Weigh In
