Busy busy....

So, life has been a little busy lately.   We've had netball carnivals, weekends away, sickness and a hospital visit (not related!). 

I guess I'll start in Esk. Toni, Deb, Katrina, Tracey (hi!!), Tanya and myself went off for a lovely weekend in Esk! It was great and suprisingly warm due to a great fireplace! I got a fair bit of sewing done, thanks to Deb's wonderful tutorials!!











Also made Caitlyn a little pack for her birthday (notebook, texta container and card).  It is always lovely to get away!



This week I've been crook since Wednesday. :(  Think it's just the flu, but am still today coughing and sweating!!!  Yuk!  Hopefully I'll recover soon!

On top of my sickness, Thursday afternoon (after having the day off work) I decided I felt a little better so I'd try to use superglue to hold a draw together.  To cut a long story short, I got superglue in the corner of my left eye and a little around it.  Off to drs and hospital from 3pm to 6.30pm, all OK.  Should bead and come away on it's own accord.  No probs so far, so I guess that's good!

Anyway. I've got another busy week ahead with Caitlyn's birthday and party!  Can't believe she is going to be 9!!!  The time goes so fast!

Hope you are all healthier than me and just remember, superglue does NOT go in your eyes!!!!!!!!!!

Scrapping in my PJs!!

Hi all!  Well, unfortunately this is the last day of hols again!  I still find it unbelievable how quickly our holidays go, but I guess that's life!  I went to Blossies last night with Vicki and Janet to scrap in our PJs!  It was from 12 noon to 12 midnight, so I'm a little weiry this morning but very happy with what I did!!

I started on a tissue box holder and cards and finished on them as well.  I loved using my new Forever Friends block and hedgehog stickers!  Janet was using some Russian doll paper, and kindly gave me some too!  Thanks Janet!  Here they are....



Then I scrapped Abbie's excursion to the farm last year!  It's taken a while but I"m happy with the result.....


I also scrapped Caitlyn and Abbie's school fete from last year.  Lots of big photos, so made little album stuck to the front of the page....

Both have a few captions to be written in, but overall I was pretty happy with them!

Hope you all enjoy your last day of hols!

Eclipse was AWESOME!!!

Hi all!  Last night I set up with 7 other fabulous ladies who I am very lucky to call my friends to see Eclipse!  It was great!!  Still went to quickly though, which seems to be a common amongst those who read the book first, but I do think it's the best movie of the series so far!

Thanks to Vicki who gave me the most gorgeous set of candles for my dining room table!  Aren't they gorgeous?



Also thanks to Debbie who made me a gorgeous bag with matching mini zipper purse!  I LOVE the denim and red flower fabric!!  Can't wait to use it!



Finally, thanks to Toni who made me a gorgeous little bag to use in my brand new bag! 



I am so lucky to have wonderful friends, and although we don't get to catch up all that often, it is always great when we do!  Thanks for a great night ladies!!!

Another little pressie!

Maxine gave me some money for my birthday so, as any good scrapper would, I headed for a scrapbooking shop!  I found the cutest things!!

First a set of Forever Friends small squares of paper (50 sheets).  Perfect for cardmaking!  There is a huge, cute variety of papers and some even have the little bears on them!

The other purchase was a set of super cute stickers!! Check them out!



I was so excited when I left the shop and can't wait to use them soon!  Perhaps in Esk???

Now, only 1 more sleep until Eclipse!  I watched Twilight last night and am watching New Moon at the moment!  I can't wait!!!
