And I thought that I'd better do another post ;)

First off, did anyone see the comet McNaught last night? We heard them talking about it on the radio last night in bed (yes Wayne has to have the radio on before going to sleep, lol, I'm used to it now...), so we had to go out and have a look. There in the south western Sky we could see the tail of it... didn't manage to see the actual comet though as I think that we were too late for that. It did inspire me to get out dh's telescope that he got for fathers day last year.... not that I could see much. I think that I had the wrong lens on, I changed it, but that even made things worse! Mental note: next time, be prepared lol. There's some info on this site..... I had to go to the SA one, as the VIC one didn't seem as good (but that could have just been me not knowing the right place to look lol).

Not a lot else happening around here... have to pick up Julieanne's school books tomorrow, which is a little depressing as the holidays have nearly come to an end way to quick... I really didn't get to do as much with her as I would have liked, but the money just hasn't been there, which is always a bit of a downer... Also been attempting to figure out The Sims 2.... gee is that a huge game.. Julieanne loves making the families, and I think that our poor desktop is going to struggle under the weight of them all lol. All I want to do is figure out how to make a proper house!

I've managed a couple of layouts....

Stewart on his skimboard. Credits: Fonts: John Handy, 2peas rubber ducky. Brushes by Jason Gaylor (worn 3) Anna Aspnes (avant garde hipster 1) and Veronica Ponce (from designing with digital magazine). Paper used as overlay by Anna Aspnes (ska8ter Dude). Texture by Nancie Rowe Janitz.

This was done for a challenge that Anna Aspnes posted on her blog... and challenge it was lol, still not happy with it, but I did do it. Credits: Fonts: Al sandra, Kartica. Paper by Anna Aspnes from Artistique kit. Framing Brushes by Jason Gaylor. Photo from stock.xchng.

And lastly this one of Wayne... he'd kill me if he saw this here, but he won't so it's ok ;). Credits: fonts: ITC avant garde book, 2peas favorite things. Brushes by Anna Aspnes (sk8terboy) and Jason Gaylor (worn1).

Ok, now to the tagging... thank you Sharon :P. As stated in earlier posts I'm not going to tag anyone else, but I will do it.

I'm supposed to state 5 cool things about me, which is going to be a little hard as I'm definitely NOT cool... as Wayne will be happy to tell you roflol, but what does he know.. I mean LOOK at him!!?

1. I tend to pick up things fast, and am self taught in a lot of things that I do.

2. I love to read (well I think it's cool ;) )

3. I was born in The Netherlands

4. I did a cartwheel a few months ago and it didn't kill me!

5. I'm extremely lucky to have the life that I have :)

Ok, so they may not be "real" cool, but they will do...

Those layouts are spectacular once again ! I love the power one, it is truly amazing.
I didn't hear anything about the comet either, the photos are very very cool.
Picking up school books is confirmation that the school year is just around the corner, scary isn't it !
Reading and cartwheels, very 'cool'

LOL, maybe I'm just in a silly mood tonight, but this post had me giggling a few times!

That LO of Wayne is way funny, I just love the expression on his face!

Yay on the cartwheel, my DS made me do a somersault the other day! Well, I couldn't upset a nearly 2yo, could I? ;o)

We saw it over at Seaspray and it was pretty spectacular, quite a treat sitting on the beach watching it too!


Never played the SIMS but I know a few people that are addicted to it...must try it one day...

LOVE all the layouts! Stand up is GORGEOUS love the colours you have chosen and the pics are amazing as always!

The Power Please layout is fabulous, love what you have done to the pic and the blue hues are gorgeous as is your brush work....

You already know I love the "Normal" layout LOL! Fabulous subject and quote and love the subtle brushwork... you are an artist.
