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.

Crop a dile

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.

How Stressed Are You?

Am I a Lady.....lol

You Are 36% Lady

You tend to make up your rules of etiquette, throwing all conventions aside. And while you try to be a lady (sometimes), your behavior is often quite shocking.

Are You A Lady?

Oopps

Today

Well its day 2 of being home and having no kids. yesterday I was so busy I never even had a chance to think about it. But today is a different story....lol
I dropped the kids off at school and came straight home. Made a coffee and hit my scrapping room.
I had an idea for a LO in my head and I had to create. Treys first day at school LO.
I am pretty pleased with it. It turned out fairly close to what was in my head. I am not sure about the font I used on the title now I have scanned it. I think it will grow on me. If not I will change it.....lol
Now I am going to get some exercise and mow the lawn.
