As the title says YES I have been scrapping but not with my own creativeness. This week I did a KimArcher online workshop. It was great. I have created 2 LO's from the online workshop and one from here free online workshop. I am extremely happy with all 3 LO's. I am going to show you all 3 but remember they arent quite finished. I need to do the journalling.

Lets hope doing these will break my drought....lol I am off to Scrappy Hollow tonight for a crop.

Being surrounder by all the yummy things in the shop has to get me inspired.

A Simpsons of a day

Today I decided to take the kids out to Fountain Gate to see The Simpson's show they had on ( Thanks Fleur for telling me it was on) The kids loved it. Although they did say to me after the show "that wasn't the real Homer it was a man dressed up cos he didn't talk" OMG they are growing up....lol They were doing free photos of everyone with The Family. At first Trey would sit down but he changed his mind after awhile. I took my camera only to find it wouldnt work cos the batteries were flat...gawd I hate that. So I used my phone and not sure if they turned out cos I have no idea how to get them off the phone onto the puter. Will have to read the book tomorrow....I know I am hopeless.

Anyway heres the pic they took.

Look what I got at last

I have been wanting one of these Clip It Up's for ages and today I finally got one. I have started to put things on it. I have heaps more to go which I will do over the weekend. But heres a pic of my latest toy.

Last Sunday

Wow its Wednesday already and I still havent posted about last Sunday.

We all went for a drive to Dromana to help my brother out with a new computer. It was a very cold and windy day....so I hadnt planned on a walk to the beach at all. I must admit though its my favourite time of the year down there. Walking on the beach when its cold and deserted is just the best.

But the kids being kids wanted to go play on the beach. I drew the line at them swimming....lol

They nagged me all arvo. Finally I gave in and drove to the beach. Took a few pics and then went back to the nice warm fire.

Is was a good day .....I have decided we should do day trips more often and get out.

Heres some pics I took.

Gotta love Ebay....lol

I wanted to sign up for the biggest loser challenge which is 12 weeks and can do that but when i do that I automatically sign up for 12 months.Its alot of money a week alot of scrapping supplies I tell u. But I need to do something just not sure if thats the way to go. Will I have the commitment for 12 months ....I dont know.
Oh the delemour of it all.
Anyone out there go to a gym regularly?

Well I am back from the Scrapanalia retreat and I had an awesome time. Didn't get alot of sleep as usual.....lol

I will elaborate more tomorrow. I just wanted to share the LO's I did with you.

what Ive been up to

Hi everyone,

Well its Friday again...geez that come around quick. Where did the week go????

I had a good day today ......went out to lunch with a friend I havent seen for a few weeks. Life gets in the way of friendships sometimes....its sad but it does.

I will share my latest LO with you all. I have been playing with my craft robo and did the flourish and title on it. I didnt like the brightness of my background PP but I wanted to use it so I white washed it.....thanks Fleur ....its one of her techniques. Then I used texture paste and many colours of paint and stamped the flowers. A bit of doodling and thats about it.

Have a great weekend everyone.

The Kids

We had parent/teacher interviews this arvo. Both Jayde and Trey have settled into school very well. I am so glad to hear that. I was a bit worried about how Trey was going to go. I knew Jayde would be ok she has always loved school. She is the big girl in the class too and she will be in her element being the leader....lol
I had Trey home yesterday and gawd I cant wait till March starts when he starts going 5 days a week.
I have been a bit out of touch this week. I have had a couple of baby albums I was doing for a lady and well its taken ages so I got off my butt and have finished them ......woohoo. I was getting really sick of doing them. So now I will have some pocket money for the retreat I am going on early March. I am so looking forward to a weekend away in luxury too which is a bonus.

I did this LO for PipeDream Ink a couple of weeks ago. But I just wanted to share with you all how I used the Crop a Dile to turn the round and oval bazzill chips into buttons. I used the fabulous must have Crop a dile to make the holes. This tool is fabulous and should be on your must have list.

How stressed are u?

Your Stress Level is: 50%

You are somewhat prone to stress, especially when life gets hard. When things are good, you resist stressing over little problems. But when things are difficult, you tend to freak out and find it hard to calm down.
