Never a dull moment

This is my favourite page that I did at camp. I think the papers are Bella! Very nice to play with!

Well quite a lot has happened in our house the last two days... For anyone who is interested this is the quick run down...

Shawn's girlfriend wants to give him a Budgie for Christmas...

Shawn is going to be pageboy for his Godmothers wedding, he is most excited...

I am going to be the photographer at the wedding...

Matt had an elbow delivered to his nose at basketball...

We have all had haircuts... (about time I say!)

I am going out to dinner...

That is all that is coming to mind for now... I thought there was more...oh well!

This ornament was for our first dog as a couple 'Dini' a beautiful German Shepherd. This ornament came from a craft market over in Pennsylvania.

First day of Summer.... at last!

I thought up until December 25th I would post some of my treasured Christmas ornaments. This particular one is a cable car from San Francisco. Matt and I purchased this one about 6 years ago. We always "discuss" where we think it was from. I am certain it came from a shop upstairs at Ghiradelli Square... Matt's story changes each year! It really does make us smile. Each ornament on our tree has a special meaning to one of us. Putting the tree together usually makes me cry... mostly happy tears.

A lot has happened today, but I have a stack of things to be doing so I will report tomorrow and post some scrapbooking creations from the weekend!

Bye...

Well I am off to scrap camp this weekend. I am not going to far away it is a local one. I will sleep at home and go for the days, thou I do work tomorrow morning... So I am sort of going to scrap camp...

Have a great weekend everyone. x

Budget day!

This morning bright and early Matt had a meeting with one of the head honchos at our place......... Every year the reps get the 'budget talks'.

So Shawn, Liberty and I headed out just after 8am. We walked up to Grandmas where Liberty stayed for the morning. Shawn and I headed over to the school. I displayed some photos of "Jungle" in the foyer. It is quite a fun display. While there I got asked to take some more photos today of a dance group that was to perform at the assembly. So I had a lovely morning over at the school.

This photo is of a 'Christmas Conversation Starter' that I made awhile back. It was made using some Kaiser products that was sent to me in a kit from Julie's Scrapping Jewels. Julie has actually closed the shop until the new year. She is busy with her new bundle of joy. I took this box to dinner for my work Christmas party. It is filled with little questions about how you spend your Christmas. Thinks like 'What is your favourite Christmas food?' ' Favourite Christmas Song' things like that. Anyway it made for great conversation, better than talking about work stuff all night!

One month away...

Today marks one month until Christmas. On the weekend our tree went up and tonight I started wrapping.

This morning Liberty and I did some stuff around the house then we went to play at Pam's.

While Liberty had her nap I sorted through some scrapping stuff. This weekend is scrap camp in Uralla.

After school Shawn and I headed off to the pool to join in celebrating Nash's birthday. Not very good pool weather, but kids don't really mind...

That is pretty much how my day went, hope you had a good one too. x

Hello! This a a page I did yesterday for a Scrapbooking Top 50 comp. The challenge was to stamp. Isn't he a cutie?
Over the weekend we had some wild weather, perfect indoor weekend. So Matt climbed into the roof and dragged down the Christmas boxes. Saturday evening we spent 3 hours putting the tree together. Sunday we spent the morning decorating the rest of the house. I must say I really enjoyed decorating this year. Both Shawn and Liberty are a lovely Christmas ages.
Today Liberty and I spent the morning in Armidale. I needed to get some photos printed, the rest of the time we just wondered around, stopped for a donut. We had a lovely girly time.
This afternoon we planted the veggie garden. Beans, Tomato varieties, Spinach, Strawberries and some herbs. Still a few gaps to fill. Shawn's girlfriend also helped... it was a lovely bonding session for us all :)

Jungle

Uralla Central School has been working on the play "Jungle". This pic is Shawn and his mate Nash. According to Shawn they are animals...he means to say cannibals... This is the boys with there wild hair. (They LOVE it!)

Sorry it is not a great pic. I always try and keep away from posting photos of children that are not mine. Nash isn't mine.... but his mother loves me :)

So, anyway today was a matinee performance and I went over and set up the video camera and then took 287 snaps. I must say I was impressed with my little D60... about time!

Tomorrow night is the last performance. It will be a sold out production. Shawn will have 8 supporters cheering for him! He loves it up on the stage... My little George Clooney...

Happy 80th Mickey!

Today Mickey Mouse turns 80 years young. What a party that would be at his house!

This morning I had morning tea with some of my wonderful friends...THANK YOU for the yummy cake Meg, sorry you couldn't enjoy it with us x
This afternoon it was time for more cake, this time with my Mum and Grandmother.
Because I hadn't eaten much today... We went to Armidale for dinner at the White Bull. I think this is my new favourite place to eat out in town.
The rest of this week is pretty busy. Sorry if I don't make it back. :)

I did this LO of Jess last Thursday. It has a good splash of pink Kindy Glitz on it, but the photo doesn't pick it up.

I had my work Christmas party last night. We had a great night! Amanda was down for the weekend so she came along as well. It was a lovely girls night out. I am sleepy today :)

* This page is the week 4 entry in Scrapbooking Top 50's 8 Weeks to Christmas comp. I have really enjoyed the challenges. This week is stamping....not my strong point at all! 2 Weeks ago I was lucky to win a stamping pack, hopefully that will help! lol

This is the view from our hotel room last weekend. Our room was one floor under the dining room, so this was also the view while we had some meals. This photo was taken approx 8am. Apparently this Bay is twice the size of Sydney Harbour.

Weekend Review

Matt and I had a wonderful weekend away at Port Stephens for Matt's work Christmas party. This is a part of the Aussie coast will will visit again.

We drove down Friday and since we made good time we went into Newcastle to the shopping centre. That night we met up with the Wurth team and had dinner at a local pub. The next day we wandered around the marina before we all met up for lunch and a dolphin watching cruise. We did manage to spot a few dolphins, but I as blocked by foreign tourists and didn't get any good photos. We had a few hours by the pool and in the hot tub talking American politics before dinner at the hotel. This photo was taken from the dining room. To the right was the bay, beautiful views. I love how this looks like we had 2 moons... Very Star Wars of me! lol

Sunday morning we packed up and headed home on our 5 hour drive.... It was a relaxing, fun, stress free weekend.... Loved it!

Thanks to my Mum for staying with Shawn and Liberty x

Dolphins here I come!

Have a great weekend everyone!
Matt and I are off to Port Stephens tomorrow for his work Christmas party. Saturday we are going on a dolphin cruise. Sounds super!

Hopefully I will get some good photos to share when we get back! x

History

Today was a wonderfully historic day....
Americans voted on their next President. Lets hope he is the right man for the job....

He had my vote! If I had voted....

Election 08

Not sure how this will work but lets give it a try! It will hopefully save me from looking at US news sites for info. Lets hope the right person for the job wins!

Rainy day

Today was a lovely rainy day! I did very little and loved every moment of it :)

Sorry for the really dark image... Not sure what is happening at the moment. When I download from my camera the images appear much darker through my PC/monitor...hummmm

Anyway.... Yesterday when I was busy cleaning carpets at my Mum's, Matt pulled things out of our bedroom so it could be cleaned. I walked in the door and discovered this! Rost Off is like DW40, Wurths "handy thing" product... It is also in a can strong enough to prop up a queen bed! Matt needed to prop up the bed so the cleaner would reach all the way under. He is a clever boy my Matt!

Well I have a hot date with my iron and the Winchester boys....bye....

November!

Well since my last post we have all been very busy!

Thursday Shawn had his school Halloween disco. He dressed as the fantastic Captain Jack Sparrow. He wore the wig we coveted from Disneyland and I made the vest and belts, quick and easy!The primary dance finished at 7pm but I stayed on to supervise the secondary students. It was a good night!

Friday was a bit of running around in the morning ready to kick back for the afternoon. The wonderful Miss Walsh (Shawn's teacher last year) and Pam came for afternoon tea. We had a lovely afternoon. Tanya is taking a teaching position in Dubai next year.... she will be missed!

Saturday I worked in the morning. That evening we had 18 for a BBQ dinner. It was great! So easy. Each family supplied their meat and a salad to share. Add to that the nibbles and we could have easily fed another 18! Only 3 casualties. Nash ran full throttle into the glass sliding door. Door is fine, Nash has a large bump on his forehead. It doesn't look to bad because you can't see it for all the hair! :) Next up was my carpet and Megs pants.... Rach decided to throw coke all over Meg... Not really, it was a total accident, but that makes for a dull story. :) Love you Rach x

Today. My wonderful children slept in past 8am!!! We bummed around for awhile, Matt woke up with a nasty head cold. About 10am we thought we would clean the carpets (as mentioned above) We just hire the ones from the supermarkets and do them ourselves. So for under $50 we did all of our house the couch and dining chairs. Then I went up to my Grandmothers and did all of her rugs and 2 big rooms. Then I did Mum's rugs and carpet. I am really impressed at how well our dining chairs came up. Now Matt and I are exhausted. I don't know about him, but I am off to bed very soon.

Before I go, I had a scrapbook win! If you would like to see the page click on this link.

Busy, Busy!

Today has been fairly productive. Not a lot of jobs got done, but a few big ones did. I cleaned off the computer desk. This also included sorting through the bundle of paperwork that had to be tossed or filed. I then moved onto some boxes of 'stuff' that I had in the office to 'one day sort through'. Today was that day! I now have a box to go to charity, a box of recycling, a bag of stuff and 2 boxes to go to the school and a bag of rubbish. I also have a box of stuff to give to you Mum :) The rest I just put on Matt's desk! lol

In the last few days I have been scrapping... it feels good. It had been awhile since I had scrapped multiple pages in a row. Life should slow down a bit more now...should.... School P&C stuff will get slower (it better!) The Thunderbolt Festival is over for this year, although we now run a Christmas lights comp. I will find out more about that next week at our meeting.

Well Shawn will be home any minute now and Liberty should wake up from her nap. I then need to make a start on dinner. I have some VIP guests coming tonight. Hi C, M & H they are harsh cooking critics! lol

Hope you had a good day too! x

A day @ home... fantastic!

Today I stayed at home.

I went to the mailbox and as far back as the clothesline. I love it!

Molly came for a jump this morning.

I scrapped while Liberty napped.

Then the Baldwin girls came for a jump.

Had leftover roast for dinner.

Then I had a jump!!!!

Perfect day!

This pic is from the weekend festival.

Fantastic Weekend!

I have had a wonderful weekend. Saturday's Thunderbolt Festival was fantastic!! I was busy running at times but I also had time to sit back and catch up with friends, make new ones and listen to some great music. I took just over 200 photos. I didn't know which one to post, so I went with my fave part of the day. This is the Axemen, the last band of the day. They are a popular local pub band. They usually don't play day gigs. The crowd had dispersed and they called for requests. I have a new appreciation for them and musicians in general now. To be thrown a song, that they had never played and do it so well was very impressive.

It was a wonderfully warm day and since I didn't get time to visit the markets, I have a red sunburn as a memento.

My 'baby' of the event became the street parade. I think it went well. Being my first year, I can see what I will do differently next year and what groups I would like to see included. I am looking forward to it! I also enjoyed the perk that came with it. The pic of the beautiful 'Fairy Tale Tours' was my transport from the marshaling area to the park. The carriage always goes last in the parade. I quickly snapped this pic as I jumped out to move onto my next 'job'. That is Matt, Shawn and Liberty in the carriage. Matt was a great help Saturday. He helped me cover the parade and also set up and pack up the park. Thanks Pooh x

Well I am beat... I am sure I will post more pics tomorrow. night x

One more sleep!

Finally a photo of Miss Liberty on her birthday. (Yes, new hat!) I took this at about 7am as Matt opened the curtain so she could look out and see her Trampoline for the first time. She was tired and the sunlight bothered her eyes, but once she focused on the trampoline away she went! Today she could hardly walk she was in so much pain. I could tell it was her legs as they were bent and she wouldn't straighten them.... I think it is from all of the jumping.

Sorry...

Sorry I have missed a few days... So, so busy!
Liberty's birthday was great fun! Liberty jumped on her trampoline (her birthday pressie) starting at 7.15am her last jump was at 8.15pm. Her birthday party was at an indoor play centre where she jumped on the jumping castle for 2 hours. She slept well! I have not had a chance to download any photos yet... maybe tonight.

This Saturday is the Thunderbolts Festival if you happen to be around this is a snippet of what is on...

9-10.30 am Newcastle Knights coaching clinic and signing

11am Street Parade. Opening with 200 Harley Davidson bikes...

Noon Markets, Music and food in the park. The Jumping castle (lucky Liberty), bikes, merry-go-round, rock climb wall are all FREE!! Rod Rods, Classic Cars, Ural bikes all on display.

3pm Billycart derby

This weekend is also the Newcastle to Uralla Turkey Run so we have a town full of bikes.
Lots to see and do. It actually makes me feel tired... so much to do! Bye....

One more sleep!

Tomorrow this beautiful little girl will be 3 years young.

I love her so very much....

Need sleep....

It is almost 4am and I have been awake for over an hour. I neeeed sleeeep....

This picture is of what we did this weekend. Through the week we had 100 railway sleepers delivered. We spent most of the weekend stacking them out of the way. Once we get a bobcat in we are going to start on our retaining wall. We put the sides of the veggie garden up, just need soil and plants now! I am looking forward to having a little veggie garden, it has been awhile. I hope the dog leaves it alone......

Well I need to try and get some sleep. Miss Liberty has her 3rd birthday on Tuesday, so I have a busy few days ahead.

Night/Morning :)

Kitty

This post and the song change is dedicated to a very dear friend of mine. Her husband recently surprised her with the gift of a kitten.... It was a true surprise... more of a shock than a surprise really.

I thought a good name would be Diamonds or Pandora (as in the Jewellery) because those items would have made for a great surprise gift! Last I heard she is going to be Coco... I guess that covers chocolate and perfume :)

Well we are heading out to go and see some friends. Will post with more happenings (and change the song) soon. lol

Thursday...

Hello!

Not much to report on really. I have been keeping busy. My JSJ DT kit arrived yesterday and I have been working my way through that and making some 'christmas things'. I have also been busy with the Thunderbolts Festival, but it all seems under control now.

Just thought I would post another pic of Floriade.

Thanks for stopping by, night x

Halloween Flowers

Shawn came home with these flowers today... His girlfriend gave them to him, along with a card. I think she is the perfect girlfriend, because the colour of the flowers works perfectly with my Halloween decorations... She has good taste this girl! LOL
I added some testosterone by putting the flowers in a Hot Wheels egg cup of water. :)

So sweet and innocent... may it never change....

Decorating

This afternoon we put up our Halloween decorations. I must admit, it has been many years since they all went up. The outside ones are inside for now, closer to the day we will hang them out. Just like the Christmas decorations, I could tell y0ou something special about each item.
The day started in a lovely way. Matt cooked a BBQ breakie (yum!) Then I called Dad, and through the magic of the internet, Dad & Matt looked at cars together, 16 hours time difference between them.
I then went up to help with the last of the garage sale stuff, then home to hang out washing and prepare the house for decorating.
Matt cut grass while the kids and I cleaned up the worm farm. The local Preschool is going to have it for awhile while the children learn about recycling. It has been neglected for awhile and there are not many worms, but it will be a start form them.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend also :)

Oh, almost forgot... The wedding went well. I think the photos will be suitable after a little bit of computer magic :)

Floriade layout

This is the double layout I created following the sketch in the post below. It is nothing like I pictured it would be!

I have just finished doing a Blind Crop over at Scrap Therapy. I love doing them, but I seem to have had other things on the last few times. I do like the page I came up with, I think it is the colours. I will post a pic another time.

Tomorrow I am a wedding singer.... opps, sorry photographer. It has been almost 12 months since my last 'job' and I am all excited but nervous. I might be able to show you a sneaky peak over the weekend ;) Hope my camera and I play nice....

I better go and get some sleep so that I am well rested! Before the wedding I have a garage sale at my Mum's to help with. If you are in town swing by and pick up a bargain! LOL

House keeping.

This is the double page sketch I designed for this months Julie's Scrapping Jewels comp. If you are the lucky winner you get $20 to spend on any scrapping goodies your heart desires from JSJ! What scrapper wouldn't mind that? :) Entries are due 31st October. If you have any trouble loading yours on the site, leave me a message and I will help out :) For anyone who may not know I am a member of the JSJ Design Team, it is another Julie who owns the store... What a great name we have :)

Hey you just have to love my computer challenged sketch effort! LOL I will load my page latter, it is still drying...

A message from the 123 team....

Well I think that is it for now. Later today or tomorrow I will post some pages :)

Old Man Matt

Matt thinks he looks old in this photo with his sun glasses down on his nose. Since he is away, I thought I would post it on the net for the world to see!

I took this pic while we were watching the ski race on the weekend. He is a great photographer.

Yesterday I met with Candice to talk wedding photos. This Saturday I am taking her wedding photos... We ended up stalking all of our friends and ended up having our catch up at Megs... (sorry to bombard you Meg, we had fun though!)

Today we had an impromptu dinner with the wonderful Baldwin girls. I traded them some spaghetti bol for some baby sitting while I had to be somewhere for a little bit.

Now my children are in my bed and it looks like I will have a night of kicking or go and climb into one of their beds! What a long night it shal be..... night x

Long weekend

We spent the long weekend with Lucas. We hadn't seen him since he was born, eight weeks ago. Isn't he so very cute? He is a fantastic little baby!

It was also the weekend of the Grafton 'bridge to bridge' water ski race. Matt, Shawn and I had a great time playing with our cameras :)

Well I can't stay and chat, 'Supernatural' starts back on TV tonight...priorities!!! :)

Floriade

This was the first photo I took at Floriade and it is one of my favourites. (I have not edited it in any way) I had fun 'playing' with my new Nikon DSLR. We still have a long way to go :) I love close up images with depth. In my experience only an SLR will give you this every time, no problem!
Click HERE to read more on Floriade. It is an amazing flower show in Canberra. I was suprised at how many things to do there was. Shawn often commented on what a great place it was.
Today we headed off to the park to meet up with the local gang of mothers and kids. We had to go a little early as Liberty had her first appointment with the speech 'doctor'. Liberty would go to a 'doctor' every day if she could. He was good with her and gave me the feedback that I was after. Liberty is still young (19 days until she turns 3!) So we will look closer at speech therapy early next year.
Well I am going to get back to my scrapping now. I should be folding clothes, but that is not a very fun job.... night.

This was on a wall at the Raymond Terrace McD's. I couldn't help myself but go back to the car for the camera. Top image is the original, taken quickly while people looked at me oddly :) I played with it and came up with the bottom image while I had a snack. I will have some fun playing with this one! Hope you all 'enjoy' your day :)

I just had a quick look and thought I would put this together.

Cassey & Andy's beautiful wedding

Last Thursday we travelled 8 hours to Canberra for Casseys and Andys wedding. I worked with Space (Cassey) for a few years. It was during that time her and Andy started dating. They are the most beautiful couple. I could rave all day about how wonderful they are...I won't though. :)

This is the super quick card I made for them. I knew for months that the wedding was coming, but still left it to the last minute to make! It looks much better IRL, Oh well....

The wedding photo is not the best. I have only just loaded them and have not yet had a good look at them all. The computer is telling me that in the 5 days we were away I took 535 photos.

While in Canberra we went to Floriade (flower show) Questacon Museum, Parliament House and The Mint. We wanted to hit the Dinosaur Museum the day we left but in opened later than I wanted to stay. We need to hit the road. On the way home, to break the trip, we stayed a night in Newcastle to visit my Uncle. I took the kids on a ferry boat to the city.

Well I better keep moving, so far I am having a productive day.... feels good :)

Thanks for stopping by!

PS The song at you are listening to is the song Case walked down the 'red carpet' too. The wedding ceremony was at Lennox Gardens....again perfect!

Fun of the Fair.

The School Spring Fair was yesterday!

What a huge job. I am told it was a great day and everyone enjoyed themselves. It is hard to gage how an event is going when you are so caught up in it.

This photo was taken as I was running from the kitchen to the BBQ. Annette grabbed my camera from me and just took it. Matt and Liberty came by just at the right time!

Liberty had a super time!!! Until it was time for the Jumping castle to go home.

The fair had some fantastic helpers. I would like to thank Matt and my girlfriends for all of their hard work and support, I appreciate all of you very much!! x

Shawn missed the fair as he is currently in Melbourne. He went down with his Grandma on Saturday. From what I hear they are having a great time. When I spoke to Shawn tonight he had just gotten out of the hotel pool and spa... poor kid! LOL

Bed time fom me, It may take me a month to recover! :)

Bully!

Today at the school assembly, Shawn's reading group performed the play that they made up by reading the book "Amy and the bullies". They did such a great job!!
The first pic is Liberty playing at Pre-School when I had to drop some things off. The next few are Shawn receiving an award. As you can see he was already dressed for his play. The lovely Monique is in red. That is Shawn's long time girlfriend in the pink apron. We had a lovely conversation about her marrying Shawn after assembly, I must talk to Shawn when he gets home from school :)

PS. for a larger view of the photos click on them!

This is my page for this months 123 Challenge.


1. Spots


2. Scallops


3. Teal

The pic of Liberty is the first one that I have taken of her with my new Nikon. It is not a brilliant photo, but still cute :)

Today was a very productive day! Pam came around for '5 minutes'.... So together with Rachels help we wrapped all of the lucky dips for the School's Spring Fair this Sunday.
Pam also put together 2 outstanding posters for the highway.



She is very talented Miss Pam :)


I cut the letters out yesterday afternoon using
the cricut. It is a super machine for a job like this.

Well Shawn just rode in from school so I will go and see how his day was. Bye :)

Lovin' Paypal!

At this moment I think Pay Pal and Ebay are fantastic!
6 Weeks ago I ordered myself a new Digital SLR, Nikon! Ever since my first job in photographics I have wanted a Nikon. With 2 weddings booked I thought now was a good time.
So long story shortened so as not to bore you all... I got ripped off!!! I wanted to buy in Australia and do the right thing. So from a company in Melbourne I won the auction. After a month of excuses as to why they had not sent the camera I finally complained to Pay Pal. Friday I walked into work and got exactly what I wanted. I paid a bit more but I had it!!! Saturday morning Pay Pal had returned all of the money that I lost to the dodgy Ebay seller!!! I love it when things work as they should. I am now a huge fan of the Pay Pal system!

I have taken over 300 shots on my Nikon, Sorry Rachel and I have taken over 300 shots :)
When I make the time to download the software I will share :)

My super soccer boy had his first presentation day today. He picked up a hat, certificate and a awesome trophy! I am very proud of him, he improved so much!!

This is a photo that I took in December 2004. It is at Shanksville, Pennsylvania, USA. It is the site where a United plane crashed out of the sky, 7 years ago today.

Been awhile...

This is another LO I did at camp.

It was from the criteria for one of the 123 Cyber Crop challenges.

I quite like the simple, clean lines of this page.

Hope everyone is well... :)

Tweet Hearts

This is another page I did a camp. I have used the new Daisy Bucket papers from Scrap Therapy.

They are beautiful textured papers in yummy colours. I must say that I did find them tricky to use... I have a hard time cutting up nice papers :)

I do love this photo!

Shawn is busy working on a boat for his school project. I think this is his first big project. He is so excited about it! Nice to see him excited about school. He helped me set up the Father's Day stall at school this morning. Liberty was also a great helper. When it was Shawn's class that came, she went back with him for 10 minutes. She likes going to 'school'.

No more camp!

I am back from camp.
We were told yesterday that it would be the last camp Lisa would run... Lisa does a FANTASTIC job with her camps and she will be missed.....
I managed to pump out 10 single pages and 3 double LO's. Not too bad! The one above is one of my fav's.
It is for the 123 Challenge CC. The challenge was to use, Material (felt and thread from upholstery fabric) Circles and flourishes (flourishes are stamped with watermark ink so you don't really see them in a photo, sorry) and also bling.
I am so, so tired. I am looking forward to November when my major commitments are over!! Then I can get back to my life for awhile!

I arrived home from camp to find Matt sick with a cold. He only managed a fews hours of work today, he is now sound asleep. I also have Shawn home from school with a tummy bug that has been doing the rounds.... Did I mention I am looking forward to November....
