Ive been busy

Hi all,

Well I went on another enjoyable retreat last weekend. This time to Warburton, Vic and I had a great time. Met some new people and did a fair bit of scrapping. I was good and actually made myself go to bed this time so no all nighters for me.

So now to share what I got done. A couple of these LO's I still need to do some journalling on.

Last Tuesday

Well last Tuesday night I went to my first ever Stampin Up workshop at Fleur's and had a blast. Fleur has become a SU ummmm what do u call your self Fleur? A SU person.....lol

We seen some great stamps and techniques used and made a gorgeous little card. Its a bit hard to visualise it opened but theres room to write something or add photos and writing. So its a very versatile.

I highly recommend you do a workshop with Fleur and check out all the gorgeous stamps that Stampin Up sell.

I am having a workshop here on the 27th April. If you would like to come u are most welcome just let me know so I can have a seat out for you.

My email is cym@burnettweb.id.au

LO share

Oh forgot I had a crop here last Friday ...had a great time.

Heres the LO I did.

Wow time flies

It s been so long since I posted .....I just seem to be running out of hours and days lately.
Well I joined the YMCA and get my fitness assessment tomorrow...thats gonna be interesting and very embarrassing I know. I am just so unfit these days.

I have booked a seat at the Crop for Kids crop on Good Friday ...anyone else going that I know besides Fleur...lol I have been told the goodie bag u get when u arrive is well worth it...woohoo I love goodie bags.
I am off tomorrow night to my first Stampin Up workshop. I am looking so forward to it. BTW if you need any SU supplies or anything contact Fleur fleurie78@optusnet.com.au

Decisions Decisions

Well I did it and spent yesterday morning checking out Fernwood ladies gym and the local Curves. I didnt like Curves straight away, so that out. And Fernwood was very intimidating to me. I am not and have never been a gym junkie and all the rather large equipment is scary.
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?

I had an awesome weekend

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.

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?

Are u a Lady

Heres the link to it...go see what they say about 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

Sorry forgot to add the pic. silly me.

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.

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.
