Last day of January

Tomorrow is the last day of January and all I can say is WOOHOO school starts.....lol
I am so looking forward to having a break with the two kids at school. I have been very on edge the last couple of weeks. I have had no patients whatsoever. I havent done alot of scrapping either which I think is half my problem. I have all these ideas and projects in my head and havent had a chance to do them. I get very frustrated when I cant scrap. Its like cooking to me I release all my stresses when I scrap and cook. I just relax into what I am doing.
So tomorrow Jayde starts school and then Thursday Trey starts. Trey goes for half days this week then full days with wednesday off for the rest of Febuary. Hes starting to get very excited now.
And shock horror
I am organised. Just got to iron on labels on all their clothes and hats and I am done.

How is everyone else coping ?

Jaydes had a scrapping birthday party

Late last year Jayde had a few friends over for a scrapping birthday party. This is what I did for the girls to copy. I'll take photos of Jaydes album later to show u. Alora is a friend of Treys who I made the album for. It was photos from her birthday party she had recently.

I challenged myself with this album. All I had was punches and pack of rubon letters and accents and the photos. This is what I came up with.

Mini Album

Ok I have finally finished the mini album I started last week. Here it is

Heres some more pics

I'm back

Hi All,

We are back from our week of camping on the foreshore at Rosebud. The kids and I had a ball. Jayde was hardly out of the water and her surfboard (xmas pressie) was attached to her. Trey enjoyed his board too but he had the best time riding his bike everywhere around the camping grounds. I had a rest too......hardly seen the kids. I read a book called Bad Ground about the Beaconsfield miners being trapped underground for almost 2 weeks. I couldnt put it down. I read most of Rebecca Sowers two books too which gave me alot of food for thought about my scrapbooking. I almost finished a mini album i took to do. So as you can see I was productive too. It was the best place to go for a holiday with young kids. The water was shallow all the time and I had hardly any stress about them swimming. Theres alway a stress value there but nothing like it would be in deep water. You'll see what I mean in the photos. Bob and I packed the tent up in the pouring rain....that was fun. Glad it wasnt cold. Actually I really enjoyed being carefree and walking around in the rain saturated. I use to walk alot pre kids in my carefree days. In fact Ihave decided to be a bit more spontaneous and carefree this year.

Ok heres some photos

Heres another LO I have done for PipeDream Ink today.This one is a double....I really am out of my comfort zone doing them.
Most od the brads are opalled, the squares are opalled and then Ive used a texture mat on them to give them a paattern. The little circles are chipboard....and yes very fiddly to do. The title is opalled too.

I scrapped today

Well I cant believe I havent posted since before xmas. How slack is that.....don't answer that.
We are now well and truly into January and I actually had some time to scrap today. Its been awhile and I was getting a bit worried I had lost my mojo cos it took a bit to get me started.
Heres what I come up with. Its for PipeDream Ink using their new red opals.
