Busy few days!

to say the least!

Some dot points of the last few days (in no particular order) until I can be bothered to elaborate some other 60 seconds:

  • My Dads' 60th birthday party Saturday night
  • Me tripping over the table while doing the Conga. And then the Conga promptly finishing.
  • Crestwood Fair (which was made so cute at the end of the day by my 5yo dd boyfriend coming to sit beside her to watch the fireworks)
  • Going to court to support my step-dad in his claim against the council deciding his dog is dangerous
  • John and I coming to an agreement / decision on a biz idea for me
  • Waiting for Kathryn to have her bub
  • My girlfriend Rae organising a hotel for our getaway in a few weeks.
  • Kane doing brilliantly in speech therapy.
  • Waiting for my copy of PhotoShop
  • Going to the library for story time with Josh, only to have him keep saying "Elmo" while pointing to a DVD the whole time (well, nearly whole time until I took him away)
  • Borrowing 2 books - PhotoShop for Dummies and Creating Web pages for Dummies (among other books)
  • Winning a gift voucher from LSBS for my LO with the pockets! Cool!

Now, gonna watch All Saints!

My creations!

Well, had a very busy creative weekend! Very happy with the end results! I only got them finished in time as both Blumar's and LSBS had extended times to finish!

For LSBS:

1. Challenge: Card with something hidden. See that photo of the bub? Thats a spinning thing, so you turn it and it shows a different pic, or some words.


2. Challenge: LO using chipboard that is covered using at least 2 techniques. I covered the swirly chipboard in pp and Modpodge, painted the alphas, and shooshed the journalling tag.



3. Challenge: LO of someone dressed up. So this is Kane in an outfit I whipped up for him for preschool, the day before a Superhero Day.


4. Challenge: Create a card or LO using the handmade envelopes. John and I minutes after Joshy was born.




For Blumar's:

Challenge: Use sketch to make Christmas card.


Challenge: Use sketch to create birthday theme LO, including ribbon and eyelets.

Tagged!

By Mish!

Here’s how it works:
1. Players must list one fact, word, or tidbit that is somehow relevant to their life for each letter of their first or middle name.
2. When you are tagged you need to write your own post containing your first or middle name game facts, word, or tidbit.
3. At the end of your post choose one person for each letter of your name to tag.
4. Don’t forget to leave a comment telling them that they have been tagged, and to read your blog.
5. If I’ve tagged YOU (see below), please join in on the fun!

W - Wonering, always wondering...
E - Eeeek!
N - Nice (except for "Y" (see below :P)
D - Dreamer
Y - Yells too much at her kids and is trying to stop!

I tag

Carlie
(this might get her butt into gear to actually blog!)
Crafty Nanna (Blumar's)

Tianne and
Sam (again, poor girl... she just did one! But this one is different! LOL!)

LSBS CC Weekend!



Little Scrapbook Shop is having their cybercrop this weekend too! (Gee, I'm gonna busy, huh!).

And they have a great incentive for all the newbies to come along and join in! You could win a prize too for simply registering and doing a challenge in the CC!

I joined in on the last CC there and it was loads of fun, so am looking forward to this one too!

Dont think I mentioned that I was rewarded the "LSBS encouragement award" for the last cc.

I cant figure out how to put it on here so it "blinks". :(

Anyway, thats it for me for now...

Oh, and by the way, I quit my job on Sunday night!

Blumars Class and DT Search

I am doing a class this Saturday at 8.30pm Sydney time at Blumar's.

Its on card holders - you know when you have a stack of cards for say, a Christening, or a 1st birthday? I used to just bundle mine up, put an lacky band around it, and pop in the memorabilia box. These card holders are sooooooo easy to make, and a nicer way to sore the cards!




It can be adapted for lots of uses, including an art folder I made for my Creative Miss y, Kayla.


You will need to register first, and the items required are already up. And dont worry if you cant make it on Saturday night, the class notes will be up for a few weeks.

Blumar's is also on the lookout for new Design Team members, both long term and guest positions. So have a look around, and send the lovely Maria your details.

What the font?







What Font Are You? (Standard Fonts)




Arial - You're pretty normal. That's certainly not a bad thing, as a lot of people like you.
