Another Pic

Here is another pic of my cuties that I took yesterday at nana's. Couldn't help myself. Hope you're not getting bored looking at my kids. Too bad if you are really!ROFL.

I should have some scrapping stuff to share soon. I am hoping to get some done while the kids are napping today. Fingers crossed.

Photo Share

So you know I can't resist now that the camera is back. Here are the kids enjoying a summertime tradition. Watermelon in the back yard - You didn't expect I would let the messy little b***ers eat it inside now did you?LOL.

That's it for now. Take care

My Baby's Back

Yes after three excruciatingly long weeks, I have my camera back! And the best news of all is that we only had to pay for the postage. What a relief. So how did I choose to celebrate the return of my precious angel? Why I took a photo of the kids . . . while still in Camera House!LOL! So here it is in it's unedited state (blown out flash and all). And you know what? I don't care, I'm just so happy to have it back.

And the next thing I photographed? Scrapping projects! I'm so predictable.lol. So I can share a sneak peak of the christmas projects I have now completed for Jenny at Really Just Ribbons.

In other scrapping news, I have two school holiday kids class prototypes to do for 2 Devils, as well as two OTP projects and a LO waiting in the wings for "grown ups" classes too. I seriously can't wait to get started on those. Too fun!

Well, I can't sit around to chat. I need to get a good night's sleep for a full day of house cleaning tomorrow. JOY! (Note the sarcastic tone.lol.)

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. I can attest to that, and so with my love affair with my camera rekindled, no doubt I will have more pics to share very soon. Stay Tuned!

Update

I have spent today cleaning the house. Feels good to be more organised, things were a bit out of control for a while, but I think we are back on top now. I always feel like I have "earned" my scrap time when the house is clean and tidy.

Good news on the camera front. It seems that it could be a fault with that particular model so *fingers crossed* NIKON are going to fix it free of charge. What a relief. Part of me is slightly disappointed though as I was thinking we might get a new digital SLR. Oh well, swings and roundabouts I guess.

I have been scrapping like a mad woman this weekend. I did my stitching scraps class at 2D's on friday, and the girls (in the class) wanted something else to do for this week. We quickly put a pack together and I will be teaching again this Friday. While I was there though, Jody threw a few things my way, and we decided to do an altered canvas class in November. I just couldn't wait though, so this is what I came up with

(So in the absence of a camera, the following images have been scanned, flipped, stitched etc. Apologies for the quality, but it is definately better than nothing.)

I want to add a large page dresser/flourish to the bottom left hand corner that will reach up to the flower, and also a title. But I will have to plead my case with the girls at 2D's.lol

Now, if anyone from the S4L forum is reading this - Yes I cheated!!! I used this for my "Metal Embellishment" challenge too. Hey! There's nothing wrong with multi-tasking. Is there????

Speaking of which we had our own "Cyber Retreat" this weekend at S4L while the girls were at the real retreat in Redland Bay. We had a great time doing the challenges. Here are my other offerings:

This one feels like it needs more somehow, but I just can't put my finger on it. Any suggestions?

And this one I absolutely love!
Little Gracie asleep on the office chair watching the Wiggles. The papers are Cosmo Cricket (from Scrappin' Bitz), and even more gorgeous than they appear in the pic.

I have also completed a project for Rochelle at Embellishbits since my last post. Here is a pic, and the kits are on sale now.



So now it is on to my DT project for RJR. I was blown ayay by how much stuff we received! Great Kaiser products and some of the most gorgeous Christmas ribbon I have ever had my hands on. Thanks Jenny!

Well, still a bit of washing to do and then dinner.
