Bugger.........

I was messing about with the settings for my blog and I wiped out my side links and my counter!!!! ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH! Oh well I'll have to redo it!

Life is good....hectic but good! Enjoying the photography course. I have lots to learn and the darkroom is fun but I'm still more of a digital girl I think! So it's Tafe, work, hanging out with the family. Toddler Week at Scitech so I'm taking Poppy one morning. I'm sure she will love all the fun equipment. Trying to toilet train her but it's hard when we are out and about so often....we'll see!

Taught a class at SCRAPTIVATE on the weekend - some gorgeous ladies came along....we did this Valentines/love double LO...

Scrapping for Scrapworld - revisiting older line - Basic Grey Blush....

A bright CJ entry for Scrapwitche's Journal....

Hope you are having a fabulous week. I sometimes wonder if anyone is reading this? Lurkers perhaps? To those who comment - thanks....it means alot! XX

PHEW.....

Gosh it has been busy the past week....I started my photography course and my god TAFE is fantastic. It's so much more relaxed than university, the lecturers are so cruisy and they really want to help you out to make it throught the course. We are doing all film and dark room work this semester...they start with film as it is less forgiving than digital...we really have to THINK about each and every shot. The darkroom was awesome and they have a massive studio..too exciting!LOL!

I also started work and had a great time with the new little Kindy kids and am working my way around teaching the little Year Ones and Preprimary kids in the Library! LOVE IT!

Here are two LOs for SCRAPTIVATE... I ducked into the shop this morning and WOW...so many great products and lots of inspiration...if you are a Perth local pop in....if not a local check out the online shopping - especially if you are looking for those cute chipboard Owls!

On a roll....

Well I just seem to be scrapping up a storm....thank god as I have alot of DT work and a Master's challenges to get through. I'm really enjoying it all at the moment...not stressing as much. Maybe it was the three weeks away, a stack of new pics and tonnes of product! LOL!


THE WINNER OF THE CHIPPY OWLS IS HETTY...I did draw it out of a hat but not I don't have a photo LOL! So Hetty if you could email me your addy that would be fantastic!


There is an AWESOME comptition going on at Scrapworld this year - "Calendar Girls"
http://www.scrapworld.com.au/catalog/ check out the forum for all the details...you have until the 15th to get your LO in for January! Newbies - WELCOMED! Here is my sample...

Another fun lil thing I have been working on is this cute little mixed media collage canvas...I think I'll add some spotty ribbon and it can be a door hanger like "poppy's room"...might make some more up or on order...not sure if I could be bothered with an ETSY store but I do love all the fun stuff there!Tonight I have my very first class at TAFE...I have signed up for a photography course. I'm so excited as I really hope one day to have a small photography business. It's my dream and I'm taking steps towards it which is awesome! It's two nights a week. I have already got some informal family photo shoots booked but I'm after a few newborns to photograph! LOL!

School starts tomorrow and I'm working in the Kindy...I can't wait! I love the teachers, the TAs and the delish 4 year olds! Then Library teaching on Wednesdays.

Yep I'm flat out but I'm loving it!

What a hoot....

Here's a look at a cute lil owl canvas I have been working on for a March class at scraptivate. Those "Collection" chipboard owls are soooo cute. The owner and designer of the collections is a wonderful Perth lady - Julie. She is so clever and always comes up with awesome products.

Would you like a RAK sent to you including a mini canvas and some raw owls to play with? I'll add some other fun and funky items too...leave me some love and we will randomly pick a winner later this week!

Have a fabulous weekend....HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY!

Home again...

Well we are back home....Poppy had such a ball playing with her cousins! So cute to watch them all interact! She followed the boys around non stop! And the big girls were gorgeous with her!

Lots of scrapping to catch up on and before we know it it will be time for school. I'm excited about my teaching this year and have a great job for the year - Kindy and Junior Primary Library teacher...can't wait!

Have a couple of LOs and some summer fun photos to share....

Summer fun...

****Looking for a fun monthly competition this new year? Head over to scrap world and check out the NEW completition - CALENDAR GIRLS...all details in the forum. Looks to be a fun way to record the year!****

Well still no scrapping to share as we are away for at least another week....that said my gorgeous nieces are keen to alter some diaries so we might go hunt down some supplies tomorrow! We have been hanging out, swimming, relaxing, visited the local markets....found some vintage goodies!

The challenge at Gallery 12 this week is "backyard"....here are some snaps from my sister's backyard...I have another series of shots to pick from too...

What's in your back yard???

Happy New Year!!!!

Well here we are with a NEW YEAR! I can't believe it! We had a great New Year's eve with my sister, brother, a few friends, some champers and tequilla (don't ask!). The kids a had a ball with sparklers and glow sticks - got some fab pics!

So I am in the country visiting my family and helping out my sister with her kids as they have a new business. I only have limited net access and have no photos loaded to share yet....

BUT there is a lot of fun ventures coming up for me this year so....

Do you have any new year resolutions? I'm not big on the whole resolution thing but I definately think it is always good to reflect and aim for new goals....but not only in Janurary!

Somethings for me...
1. Photography course
2. Think of fun ideas for my Scraptivate classes
3. Stress less - create more
4. Get a little healthier
5. Save - use my money more efficiently
6. Catch up with my friends more often
7. Renovate our home without having a total breakdown
8. Enjoy the little things!

What are you aiming for in 2008??? Hope you reach for you dreams, enjoy the journey, laugh along the way!
