happy tuesday...

I have to apologise...

Friday came and went in a flash... and then yesterday was sunny and semi warm after a whole week of grey skies, rain and cold temps...

so we made the most of it and took the girls fishing over at Lyttelton... sadly while the fish were nibbling they didn't want to bite hard enough to get caught... and then went into Hagley Park for a walk and to take Anya to see older girls playing netball...

And now its Sunday however there isn't a spot of sun to be seen... winter really is approaching scarily fast... June 1 will be here before we know it...

So I got the littlest Pea to point at the screen to pick a winner... well two actually...

first up the winner for a kit of your choice is... Meelie ... message me on FB or leave me some way of contacting you...

and secondly the winner of a page (digital naturally) is ... Krislyn ... email me and we can get it started...

competition reminder, new PU kit, new CU and 25% off new releases!

there is still time to enter the competition... go to the previous post (grr its not letting me grab a direct link to it) and read all about it... and if you are reading this on facebook then come on over to my blog here and enter...

Now I have managed to get some designing and some scrapping in this week... so I am happy about that... working on a book for myself now after finishing the top secret project I had been working on... got lots of yummy old photos of myself... some of them I can not remember ever having seen... so that was a treat in itself... and I am 100% positive there are more of them round but just have to practice some patience there...

So here it is my new kit out... also available separately though I do have to point out the kit will save you more... and hey if you are like me you are always looking for a bargain...

And all images are linked to my store...

Mama - the kit

Mama - the papers

Mama - the elements

Mama - the alpha

CU - Designers Mix # 1

and some pages from me using the new kit... first up me and my Uncle Clarry at Bryson and Maxines (Uncle and Aunty) wedding in 1967!



and another of me taken late 1967 with journalling about how my Dad always swore I would get my own back one day... with children who would test me like I surely tested them! Too true in all honesty though I know they loved me as much as I love my daughters even when they try my patience...


and this beauty from one of my ct girls Rebecca... isn't this page just so purty....

I have had an idea...

Image is linked

Now I have a couple of pages to share with you that I have scrapped during the week...
First up is another with a template this time its not one of mine though...

But from the amazingly talented Suzanne of Roadside Designs... so incredibly easy to work with... I have a bit of a phobia about multiphoto pages but not using this gorgeous template... Look out for Suzanne's debut very very soon... at a favourite store of mine... hee hee... the papers and elements are all from my store... various kits etc


and lookie here... one of the photos my Dad sent me down... me and my grandmother many years ago and seeing the light of day again... gotta love that... just like I really love the gorgeous Hennai kit from Lynne-Marie @ Catscrap... seriously gorgeous!



Okay all have a good weekend and don't forget to leave me a comment for your chance to win either a kit of your choice or a page scrapped by me...

300

Huh I have just noticed this post here will be my 300th post on this blog! WOW! the number kinda surprised me... I hadn't really given it any thought I guess so it was kind of a surprise...

So I guess I should celebrate in some way... suggestions please? would you like a little competition? a chance to win something from my store... a freebie? you tell me and I will see what I can do... do it quick though before I come to my senses...

But what I really did come here to say was that the wind that just never seems to give in... causes chaos and mayhem and just keeps blowing that we have had here for a few days now can stop any time it likes! I am so OVER it! It's driving everyone nutso... me included...

Mothers Day

has been pretty flamin' good here... certainly can't complain about NOT having to cook at anytime today...

Okay so breakfast shortly after 7 am was possibly a little on the early side but hey I can live with that... watching Chris trying to eat a bowl of ricies (with milk no less) semi reclined without spilling it through the bed was rather amusing... but he did manage it... though the toast proved to be a problem... toast and beds are two things that really don't mix well... nothing worse than crumbs in the bed! Well apart from said beds bedding being kicked into submission during the course of the night and ending up leaving little bits of you cold and just a little on the miserable side!

But all in all... phone calls to Mum, visits to Chris' Mum... a trip to Orana Park... a drive home the long way round... with a stop off at the local speedway and then out to dinner with Mum and Bryan well all was good with the world...

And of course getting a little bit of scrapping in just topped the day off nicely... and check it out... look at those long legs... itty bitty dress and the perfect double teapot! And at 5!
You have to remember this was the early 70's we are talking here... thus the itty bitty dress... no shoe hippy pippy look...
The nappied one in the photo is my older little brother... unfortunately I am no longer the taller of the two of us... little booger towers over me (though not quite to the extent of the other brother!) and revels in it...


I created the page using creashens ab fab "Reasons" kit... can't quite believe that I managed to not only use a yellow paper but a yellow patterned paper to boot! Wooohooo me! If you just absolutely need to check it out go check out her store at catscrap...

and now just before I drag my sleep butt to bed for the night... I want to wish all my Mummy/Mommy/Mama friends a very happy mothers day... I hope yours was as filled with joy and wonder as mine was...

Mwah...

Dannielle has been creating...

Dannielle wanted to make a page this afternoon, so with a bit of help from me finding things and helping with resizing things she did this all by herself... isn't she a clever little chickie?
I think so but then I am totally biased!

How could you not...

love these little beauties? Danielle from Wish Bliss Studios created them... I heart Danielles art... not cutesy just plain out gorgeous!

Some days...

you just get lucky and find little gems like this one... this is my older brother... well when I say older the fact that he is three years younger than me makes no never mind... he is the elder of my two brothers and that makes sense in my mind if no where else...

I couldn't believe my luck when I saw this photo the other day... I so remember that flamin horn... and the fact that most of the time he was awake the ruddy thing was never far from him... and yes he spent a whole lot of time tooting his own horn!

I love the colours of the photo which by the way I have worked NO magic with it, absolutely nothing... Dad photographed it from a slide, I cropped it and that was it... what you see is what you get... as I said I love the colours in the photo so it was a natural to team up with this gorgeous paper from Siamese Studios... Kashmir Nights... rich and glorious... I can see many more pages coming using it...

Another

half speed day today...

my head still feels like its filled with cotton wool... but with a few rocks in there too obviously since they near on knocked me senseless while I was trying to chop firewood... do you know how much it hurts to bend down to pick up the chopped wood off the ground when said rocks which till this point have been nicely muffled in all the cotton wool move and smack you hard in the head! I didn't either till I found out the hard way...

Oh and two phone calls to my Dad regarding photos today... and yeah he said really nice things about his pesky daughter too... love you Dad... mwah

I am obviously...

running on half speed...

for what was I think the fourth or fifth time in the last few hours I have had to ring my parents to get them to answer something that should have been blatantly obvious to me...

if I had been slightly more with it that is... and not struggling with a head that feels like its full of cotton wool... eyes that really do want to close and stay closed... and aches that really would be better off somewhere else... anywhere else for that matter... having the flu is NOT FUN!

I digress... after staring at a photo for what seemed like hours but in reality was probably only a matter of minutes... I decided that I couldn't for the life of me figure out exactly what year my elder brother was born... was it three or four years after me... turns out it was the former... which then sparked a remark that switched on a fairly dim light bulb in my cotton wool filled head...

resulting in this sparkling conclusion... "if K is three years younger than me, and N is 2 years younger than him and K was born in 69 and N was born in 71... that means ... hold on Chris, my darling, long suffering husband is a year younger than my youngest brother!"

On being informed of this startling conclusion his rather charming (?) response was " well I can't help it if you are an old fart!" Thank goodness I love my husband...

and since I have rambled on about this photo and its resulting rather dim witted conclusion I guess I should share it huh?

Most everything by me... except for that gorgeous little journal spot which is from Hennai by the amazingly talented Lynne Marie whose store is at Catscraps...

I've been scrapping

quite a bit lately...

there are times that actual pages finished are fairly thin on the ground and then there are times that the cup certainly runneth over...

right now the cup runneth over... which is flamin brilliant!

I have to admit it certainly helps having new or different photos to scrap with... I have been pestering my Dad lately... and yeah Dad I am aware that is the understatement of the century but I am very thankful you have just nodded and no doubt muttered a few bad things about your pesky daughter...

Not quite so pesky here though... well at least not able to talk and ask for the near impossible anyways... created with lots and lots of creashens goodies...

Now check out these dudes... handsome aren't they? created with papers, feathers, ribbons etc all by me... except for that lovely branch that is a creashens beauty...



Miss A... love my girlie... she surely does make my heart go pitter patter... page created with creashens kit "pitter patter"


Miss D is our little clown... and we love her even more because of it... page created with paper and tape by me, frame from [ksharonk] and that gorgeous border by Wish Bliss Studios...


Now if you like those pages... keep an eye out later this week when I release ...
Scrap It Vol. 1 ... PSD templates based purely on these beauties you see above...

New and Old

Photos that is... the pages are both brand spanking new...

first up an old photo I got from my dad the other day... very cool to see all these old photos seeing the light of day again...

Using goodies from me, creashens and wish bliss studios...and a new photo from our recent west coast trip... Miss A doing her Pania of the reef impersonation...
created using Shen (creashens) new kit Some Kinda Wonderful available at the LilyPad for a short time...
