Umm what else has been happening? We had Australia day last Friday, so it was a long weekend. We really wanted to do something, and in the end we ended up going to Inverloch Saturday. We stayed the night and and came home Sunday afternoon, just in time to go to my sisters for an afternoon lunch thing she was having for mums birthday which was on Monday. We only stayed a couple of hours as we had to drop Stewart off at home, but that was ok. Then after dropping him off the in laws rang and said they were at Dromana and asked us to head down there for dinner. The weather wasn't the best, but it's always nice just to get away.
I'd felt bad all through the holidays because I didn't get to do anything with Julieanne. So on Monday we headed off to Robert Gordon Pottery so we could paint some mugs. In the end Julieanne wanted to paint a dog bowl for mum (because being the terrible daughter that I am I haven't got her a present yet!), and after that she painted a cake plate (for my birthday next week), I just did a mug, and boy was it hard to do something creative with out it involving the computer.. major lack of mojo there! I get to pick them up today, as they all needed to get fired, and can't wait to see what they look like lol.
Julieanne enjoyed it there, so now we have decided to have her birthday party there as well. They don't do parties as such, but are happy for groups to visit for their birthday... so now all I have to do is wait and hope that a few more of her friends can make it. Handed out the invites on Wednesday and so far one has said she is coming......

Oh and I did these layouts for a challenge we were having at MAC.
The first is of Jude and Deb at our MAC get together last year. Judy seems like such a wonderful mother I thought the quote very fitting... and I used to love that "touched by an angel" show it came from lol..... maybe it was her Irish accent... love Irish ;)
Credits: Deb kit by Judes Digitalscraps available here. I'm not the best at using a full kit (just tend to use the papers) but gave it a go anyway lol. Fonts are Al heavenly and avant garde (again!).
This one I did using a minikit that Lis was kind enough to share with us, called Blue. I know that she doesn't like this photo, but I thought it was just a nice soft happy look that matched the quote ;)
Credits: Blue by Lis S and fonts are al sandra and avant garde.
Thanks girls for sharing your wonderful talent with us :).
Ummm I think that's about it.... oh no wait! Does anyone know why my photos from my previous post aren't showing up anymore? Do I really have to upload them again? Or is there some miracle fix it on blogger lol... sure...

The invitationjs turned out fabulous and I love the pic you chose, it's a perfect representation of Judy and Debs relationship and the quote just completes it beautifully!
