Another quick one

Ok, still not a lot happening around here lOL. The day started off nice though... I received a very nice PM at DSP, from someone new to digi scrapping, saying how much she liked my work. It's always a bit of a confidence boost when you hear something like that, especially as I always find my own work lacking. Maybe one day it will sink in that it's not that bad LOL.

Then after dropping Julieanne off, I made my way to the factory. They are in the process of moving so you'd assume there would be heaps to do... LOL, I did manage to whip up a moving flyer for them, and send it off to a couple of people. Good thing it only took me about 10 mins to do, because I must have spent about 45 minutes trying to get the printer to work with my laptop.. no such luck! The disk with the software was for a mac, and the windows version had already been packed! Had to do it the long way round and save to cd (as all the memory cards were missing too).
For those interested here is the result

Julieanne was in foul mood when I picked her up after school because I wouldn't let her play on the play equipment.. I think mainly because she's not feeling the best. I took her to the docs yesterday because she was complaining about her ears. Turns out they did have a bit of fluid in there, and we can't have that next week... Queensland here we come!

A layout, and my dream trip

Julieanne and Isabella look so different, and yet they can be so alike it's funny. I took these photos about a minute apart, and yet neither of them saw the other one pose... so funny how they have the same look. The wonderful papers used in this are by Sue Jones.. aren't they wonderful?

Speaking of Sue, I was in the newsagent this afternoon, flicking through a For Keeps mag (issue 38, not sure if it is the lastest or a special edition), and nearly laughed out loud. There was this wonderfully funny LO, of a gorgeous little girl ironing her ball.. just love it Sue.. fantastic work!

Then when I got home, I checked me email (first thing I always do when I get home LOL, who doesn't?!) and received an email from this Holidays with kids website.

It had my dream holiday there. A trip to the Antarctic, how "cool" would that be?! Considering that it cost $14,000 + per person, I think it might be one of those "after we win tattslotto" things LOL.

Not much happening....

I so wanted to do a layout today, but have been having a major lack of inspiration.. I'll have to make do with a photo. This was taken at Mordialloc (sp) beach, a few months ago. I loved the look of the sunset, but as I took the photo, this flock of birds flew across the shot.. oh well.

Still trying to figure out how we are going to afford the trip to the gold coast, I'm attempting to arrange accommodation here. If anyone has any other recommendations let me know ;). I know that we are leaving it all to the last minute, but that is what happens when you arrange to go away with family I suppose.. trying to get everyone to agree on a spot.

Umm.. I think that's it, sorry, I did warn you that there wasn't a lot happening. I think that I'm going to start to scare people away from this blog LOL, it's very BORING.

I think that I'm coming down with something too.. I think I'll call it the MAC virus ;).

I can sing a rainbow....

Ok, just a quick one (aren't they all?). I got up this morning and saw this rainbow out the kitchen window. It was the brightest one that I have seen for a long time, and the light was just beautiful, so I had to get the camera out and venture outside. I must have been a sight, in my dressing gown with my blunnies on! LOL, not to mention the rain! Good thing that neighbours are a fair distance off!

There are some very annoying rain spots on the images, that I could not get rid of. Thanks to the MAC girls for some image editing tips. Didn't get the result that I was after, but it is a little improvement. The second shot is of the backyard, bit of a mess at the moment so don't look to closely LOL.

Also had a phone call from dh this morning. Grrrrr... Stewart has been suspended from school (again!), I really don't understand WHY? What drives him to do these stupid things? This coming from a girl that NEVER got into trouble. I was the quiet mouse that used to sit in the corner at school, and avoid any attention. He has been threatened numerous times that if he acts up, he is going to miss out on something special. He doesn't know that we were planning on going to the gold coast next month. Dh is now having a major dilemma as to whether to carry out the enforcement or let him come..... He will be SOOOO disappointed if he misses out, but what do you do? His mum had to go and pick him up from school, so we'll see what happens tonight when we get his phone call. Maybe we should just cancel the whole thing.. really can't afford it at the moment anyway :(.

Going Crazy!

OK, I feel like I'm in a mad house. The TV is blaring Creed, after certain members of this house had a karioke (sp) session. I think I might enroll them all in some singing lessons LOL! Did hear some good music though (not the singing) ranging from The Doors through to Pearl Jam, and also some Counting Crows thrown in, as Julieanne loves "that Shrek song".

Um.. what else? I actually went to work today, well sort of. I went over to the factory, takes me over an hour to get there, but really need the money, and it helps the inlaws out. They are pretty busy at the moment with the caravan and camping show on in Caulfield.. at least I think that is where it is!

I'd had enough of being in the house yesterday, and as it was such a nice day I thought that I'd do something outside.. I ended up spraying the weeds outside.. we are being overrun here LOL!



Oh and I managed to get a LO done, not too sure about it, but at least I have something to post ;). Kit "caberet" by Rhonna Farrer, recoloured.
Oh and Miss M wanted to know how I did the edge. The floraly frame is part of the kit, and I just added one of the other papers as an overlay and masked it off to show the photo. I really do hope that made sense, because I'm terrible at explaining things, as some of you may know ;).

Album fit for a Princess, and Be Happy

Ok, lets attempt to post some pics LOL. Here is the beginning of a Princess Album that I'm doing for my niece. I'm using Anna Aspens Fit for a Princess album which I just fell in love with when I first saw it. Makes life a lot easier.. I'm up to page 9 already! I'll just post a couple for you guys though.. they are all basically the same.

I also managed to do another LO today.. haven't done one for a while, and was getting withdrawals ;). This is Julieanne the other day when we went to the park. I was having a ball taking photos of her and Isabella on the swings, oh the joys of digital, you can just shoot and shoot!

Papers by Iron Orchid, recoloured.

Well I think that will do for now. Thanks for looking.. if there is anyone out there LOL.

TTFN

Ok, I've given in!

Well after a fair amount of pressure, I've finally created a blog.. to all you MAC girls out there "thank you" NOT! I have no idea of what I'm supposed to be writing here, but I can tell you now that I don't think there are going to be many posts LOL. I lead a pretty boring life..

On the up side I suppose I can get myself one of those cool looking slide show things.. Now to figure out how to set this page up so it looks good ;). BTW does this thing have a spell check?!?
