New Opportunities & Ideas

Ok so I have been busy with the wedding invitations and now that they are finished I will post a picture of them soon.

On the Masters update I have not started yet but I hope to get to my masters entries ideas started this weekend as we finally have a weekend at home… I think!

I have decided to rule out a weekend once a month now so that I can just sit and scrap! I would also love to start a SCRAPPING CLUB with a few people that I love to scrap with or with whom I never scrapped with so if you read this and are one of those people please email me and we can arrange something!

I was thinking along the lines of getting together once a month and taking it in turns to host. That way the cost is not on one person and we can share ideas and new products!!!!
If you have any Ideas that you wish to add please let me know!!!!
I would be happy to kick this off at my place!
(PS there will be a surprise for the first five people to email me west71@optusnet.com.au & get this group started)


My next piece of news is that I am in the latest Scrapbooking Memories Mag ….not published as a LO. …But my picture along with Theresa (Tess) the photo was taken at the craft fair on the Gold Coast in April. I was lucky enough to be able meet Andrea Thompson (SM master 2006) & have my photo taken with Drea!!!!

So does this count as being published!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PSML! I guess not…. damn!!!!!

Why is Life always so busy!?

I can't believe how busy I am lately...we have not had a weekend at home for two weeks now and we don't look like having one for another few weeks yet! If we are not away we have visitor...don't get me wrong I love seeing my family, but it would be nice to have a full weekend at home for a change!

On the Scrapping front I have not been able to do must my hand has put me behind the eight ball in regards to the Masters comp,but hey I work better under pressure just like the rest of us I'm sure! Is anyone else I know entering the SM Masters? I would love to know who is entering?!

I will be away this weekend making a start on our Wedding invitations ......the excitment begins!!! I still have lots of stuff to get done for the Masters and the wedding but hopefully I can do both!

No Lo's to show but I do have a pic for Leisa's Party on saturday night sorry girls!!!!

Oh what a weekend!

Ok here we go this weekend as been full of suprises the Undercover wear party was great as it is always great catch up with the girls! I was able to buy some new clothes & underwear for the wedding and the cruise!

On saturday I awoke with a very sore head due to the bubbly consumed on friday night. then proceed to get the car packed to go up to my brothers place for the day as he was having his Houswarming. So we left home at 9.30 and arrived at their new house in diamond valley at 10.30 which was good seen as we had no idea where we were going...i think we were the only ones that did not get lost! when we rrive my sister in law tells me the her grand daughter (my great neice) had a stiff neck so she was laying on the couch watching DVD'S this fine til we dressed her she just screamed the whole the poor little thing. So once more kids arrived she made a full recovery ...we even got her running around on video! That was until she fell up the stairs then she screamed and would not stop. Then end result was she was taken to hospital buy is fine, just a very stiff neck!

But before my neice was tsken to hospital I fell up the same steps on the deck with a wine glass in my hand and yep you guessed it I tired to break my fall with my hand and the glass was sticking out of my hand and now I have four stitches thanks to the staff at Caloundra hospital. So that was two of us visiting two different hospital as the ambo's took my neice to the Nambour hospital. Not long after that my Step Nanna fell and hit her head as she misjudged the step off the deck .....That deck is dangerous or cursed I tell ya!

On the scrapping front things are good I can still scrap with a bung hand it will take more than that to stop this little black duck from scrappin'!!!!

The wedding invitations are coming along nicely now I have almost finished one which is the practise run....the reception is sorted and the depoist will be paid for shortly! I have pick out my flowers I just have to buy them from spotlight and send them to Travis Aunty as she is making my bouquet. I can't believe that things are finial falling into place!!!!

I have scrapped a few enegement photo's thanks to the Classes to go pack from Scrapbooks and more & Carol-lea Morgan here they are




All of the above photo's were taken by Generation Studio's the The Gap in Brisbane.

The next two Lo's are my own creatations which I really love......I hope you like them too!

Party Time

Ok I have arranged to have a Undercover Wear Party on the 19th of May @ 7pm this is a friday night and all are welcome if you would liket o attend just email me for my address if you don't already have it!!!

I can't believe that it is May already time flying by and the wedding plans are coming along well at the moment. We meet with the reception co-ordinator on saturday the 13th of May to talk about everything we want and what we don't want!! The dresses have been picked and I must say my baby girl looks stunning in her dress!!!!
We order them in October! I can't wait to do that as every thing will really sink in once that has been done!

I have decided that the girls will not have flowers but an OTP item made by me that way they can turn these into mini albums after the wedding as a memento of the day!

Can't scrap so I'll Blog

Ok so I have not blogged for a few days but I was rather Hung over from Australia Day!!!! So today I have been trying to get things done around the house, so went to use the vacum cleaner & it starts to make very wierd noises, I asked Travis to have a look at it & then it started to spark! So I have decided to put it away til I go shopping and then I'll see if they will take it as a trade in,..... Good ole Godfrey's!!!!!!

Ok so Travis as taken over my scrapping table today to build some stuff ......grrrr not happy as I would really like to scrap today or this weekend! Never mind if I can get to my stash I might be able to bring some stuff in to the dining room and scrap tomorrow or I could paint my shelves and start altering them ...hmmm now there's a good Idea!!!!!

Not much else to tell right now til next time......CYA
