Little update...

But not much to say really :).

The weekend seems to fly past (as it usually does!). Saturday night we went to my mum and dads for dinner and watched the Concert for George, which mum had just got on DVD. I know it's fairly old but it was great to see. Me being a huge Beatles fan loved it... and I want to get a jacket like Ringo's for Wayne! Amazing how much George's son looked like him too... spitting image, although just a little smaller.

Yesterday we ended up at the Mordialloc Festival. We were supposed to go to the in-laws for lunch, but the local festival was on so ended up there... needless to say we were really not dressed for it, and my neck did get a little burnt.

It was fairly busy, but there was a great atmosphere there with lots of live music, food and drinks and hippy stalls. Rides too, but Julieanne only went on 2 of them ($5 a ride a bit on the dear side)... the teapots with Isabella

and the Cha-Cha with Daddy


It still surprises me how much of a speed freak she is, she just loves her fast rides (and this was fast), but is afraid of a moth.. funny girl :).

After we'd all had enough of that we walked across to the beach.. once again not really dressed for it as Julieanne is demonstrating here by hitching her skirt WAY up ;) (ooo, the compression has made the colours all weird.. oh well)

We then had dinner at Cafe Blah Blah and I had a lovely Chicken parma (Waynes standard)... and the sticky date was beautiful!

We had an early night last night, but we are all still tired! Another early one again tonight I think. Also picked some of our tomatoes today.. not the best looking ones, but they taste alright!

Still trying to figure out our home loan too... we are paying WAY to much at the moment, (care of our stupidity and a hopeless mortgage broker!), so hopefully that gets sorted out quickly, because we can't take much more of it as it is..

Also did this quick LO. I got the idea from Photoshop Creative Magazine (I think it's that way around), after doing a quick flick through in the newsagent.. didn't buy the magazine though, so had to go off memory... I had all these 4x4 photos and really didn't know what to do with them (as they are not of my fav topic) so just did this as a test... CC most welcome as always.. Used Roughed up tool kit by Rhonna Farrer. Fonts AL SongWriter, 28 Days later.

Well no more news on the wobbly tooth either... still just wobbly.. how long do these things generally take?!

Turns out I had more to say than I thought lol.

Lastly Hugs to a certain friend that has had some bad things happen and is feeling a little low.. thinking of you :).

TFL and TTFN

Wobbly Tooth!!

Wahhh... Julieanne has a wobbly tooth. She's going to lose those precious baby teeth, and I'm not happy about it!! I don't want her to grow up just yet, but I suppose it has to happen doesn't it? Wayne says it's about time, he seems to think that she is fairly late in losing them, but she's only just turned six, and I always thought that 6-7 was the average for losing that first tooth... Anyway, Julieanne is pretty excited about the whole thing.. lol, she just knows that the tooth fairy is going to come and give her some money ;)... Not too sure how much the tooth fairy actually pays these days though lol.....

Just a pic of those teeth....



On another note, we went camping on the weekend, and I must say that it was an experience. We haven't been for about 11 years so I'd sort of forgotten how grotty you can get after a couple of days with no shower! It was just so dusty! We camped right next to the Latrobe river at Hawthorn Bridge (or so I'm told anyway! I really haven't got the foggiest idea of where we were!). Then on Saturday the trail bikes stared appearing. Not that I have anything against bikes, but they are VERY noisy and I'd really prefer to hear the running river. Anyway, we packed up Sunday and found another *isolated* spot. Isolated because you needed a 4x4 to get there, and really we could not hear any other person around at all :). I was a little concerned about snakes though, but I just kept telling myself that they are more scared of us than we are of them lol....

I wasn't too sure how Julieanne would go, but she seemed to really enjoy it. And even manged to go to sleep! She loves her own bed and generally has issues sleeping somewhere else, but she was happy on her Bratz lilo.

Must say that it was FANTASTIC to get back home though!!! Even though we didn't have a shower straight away (had to put rock on the drive. MORE DUST!!), it was great to just have running hot water to wash my hands properly. Worst thing of all though is that I did not take one photo!! And I call myself the family photographer...

TFL and TTFN :)

There's a rainbow outside...

Well at the moment there is, it does look like it's fading though. Not the way I'd planned to start my post (actually I had no idea of where to start it lol), but it will do :).

Not a lot happening in my end of the world, but that's good. I helped my parents with their flowers last night, and I'm feeling it today... bit of a downer about the timing as I was going to and see some of the MAC girls, but it didn't happen oh well :).

We are going camping on the weekend too.. don't know if I'm actually looking forward to it though, as I can tell I'm going to get REALLY bored, we are going to Hawthorn Bridge, and I'm not 100% sure where that is exactly, but I know that there really isn't a lot to do. I'm not one to be sitting around doing nothing, and with no power my laptop is not going to be of much use :(. I was hoping that the new Digital Scrapbooking mag would be here by now but not yet... I suppose I'll find something to do ;)... hopefully I can take some good photos.

Not a lot going on in the layout department.

I had to redo the last one I did as I wasn't really happy with it. I do like this one better. Any CC is most welcome though.

And going through my photo folders I can across this scanned one. I thought it was such a happy photo I had to scrap it... even though the quality is pretty bad.... Ahhhh I love my Canon350D (even though this was taken with the film equivalent, scanning does not do any favours ;) )

Anyway, have to go and make Julieanne her breakfast.

TFL & TTFN

We had some rain!!

Last night, it was fantastic! Not many puddles on the ground, but it was so dry I'm not really surprised. The size of the cracks we have in the yard are huge, and I think it's going to take a lot more of the wet stuff to see improvement...

On another note, I thought that I'd better let you all know what I actually do when I go to work (not that that is very often lol). I actually do invoicing at a bulb mail order company, I know not very exciting is it, but as it's only seasonal it suits me perfectly ;). Business has been slow lately so I don't think it's going to last much longer, and the days are getting less frequent to. Oh well, I just need to figure out something else to do. I'm seriously thinking about doing a web course at the local TAFE.....

Oh, and I forgot to post a pic of the pottery that we did the other week. Not a fantastic photo, lol, I had no where to set it up so had to put them on the floor... as you can see, lots of colours ;)

Julieanne and I also did some painting on the weekend (no not the house although that does need to be done and the paint is in the shed!!). She got this preprinted canvas for her birthday, and has been asking ever since if she could paint it. I didn't want to start until I knew we had time to finish it lol. Anyway, finally got round to it when Wayne was a work on Saturday. I must say that it was a bit of a challenge trying to get the colours mixed right. The set only came with the basic blue, red, green, yellow etc pains, and of course Julieanne wanted it to look like the picture it came with so they all needed to be mixed up... well I tried ;)

We didn't end up doing the best job on it, lots of going out of lines, but it looked ok when we'd finished (I put the faces in after it had dried ;) )

She now wants to hang it in the living room...I think that I might just put it in her bedroom. Speaking of which, I put her princess blind on the window today (another present from for said birthday!) and boy was that a saga and a half. I thought that it would just fit in the hole, but no had to trim it up and all... not too mention that I was having major issues trying to find the tools for the job, and then when finding them find that they are covered in grease... grrr was not happy. But if you want the job done you have to do it yourself... or well I do in this house, Wayne would have left it for another 6 months!! ;). I'm sure that she is going to love it though (when she finally gets home, she's at a friends now).

Oh and finally I did manage another LO, not too sure about it though (perfectionist coming out again), and it turned out a heap different from how I'd planned but they always do. CC VERY welcome :)

Another quicky ;)

Just some tulips that I got MYSELF from work on valentines day lol.... And a very disheveled looking Julieanne in the background, it was hot, but it has been for the last few weeks and I'm so VERY sick of it... roll on winter!!

And here's a layout I did of Julieanne and they way she sings (or used to :() the wrong words to one of her fav songs. Credits can be found here.

Work is a little on the dismal side lately too... just 2 days this week, how sad is that?!? lol, well it gave me time to give my blog another overhaul... the last one was just a little to messy for me... let me know what you think.

Oh and a quick thanks to Mel, for letting me know what probably caused my candle reflections on my birthday photos. It's my uv filter... lol, now to remember to take it off ;)

TTFN

Just a test

Ok it looks like it's working woo hoo. I've just installed Picasa and I just found out I can post to blogger directly from it, and this is a psd file!! How easy is that. Anyway this was a birthday card I was working on for Julieanne.. but it never got finished lol... terrible aren't I? Credits Altered photography kit by Denise Docherty, frame by Rhonna Farrer, star brush by Anna Aspnes, background paper Dianne Rigdon Loving Hands.

Ok if this works, there may just be some more regular posts happening!

Change of plan....

well I was going to spend tonight doing a layout, as Wayne is out, and Julieanne has gone to bed. But after doing my blog list (which seems to be getting bigger by the day!) I thought that I really should put a bit more effort into mine lol. Not that I have a lot to say....

Went back to work (well if you can call it that ;) ) last week and we still have to see how long it's going to last. The lack of rain here over the last few years has really seemed to have had an impact on the gardening industry... well from what I can see anyway. Not that I'm complaining about the lack of work lol....

Last weekend we went to Hawthorn Bridge with some friends.... not 100% sure where it actually is, but we went through Neerim Sth to get there, and came back through Warragul as we got lost lol.. It was a nice spot, but I'm not a huge motorbike fan, and there was a few of them there... and busy! I suppose the 38 degrees that they had forcasted had something to do with that. Here's a photo of a dragonfly that I got... really need a macro!


It was Julieanne's birthday last Thursday she turned 6! I can't believe that 6 years have already gone.... bit depressing actually.... But that's life isn't it? Really that IS life lol.



Now can someone please tell me WHY I get these annoying spots in all my candle photos!? I've done a search and really can't find an explanation for it... what to I need to do to stop it.. and does anyone else have this issue? I've only noticed it over the past few months, don't know why.

We had her party yesterday at Robert Gordon in Pakenham, and I must say that it went better than I thought it would... We've never had a party for her with her friends before, and I wasn't too sure of what to expect. Her friends were very good though, and I hope that they enjoyed painting their mugs.. I'll go and pick them up on Thursday and see what the results are like... lol... even Wayne had a go at it ;).


Not a hole lot happening on the layout front (so hurry up and finish this post will i?) but here is just a one I did of Julieanne the other day at Inverloch... just love how she can amuse herself.


Credits can be seen here (just coz I'm too lazy to do them again ;) ), and it got LO of the week at DD which I was pretty chuffed about lol. Speaking of DD, they had a 25% off sale on the weekend, so I couldn't help myself and had to get some stuff... sad to say that it's still sitting zipped in my download folder :(.. also ideabooks4u had 15% off so just HAD to get a couple of bookies too ;).. can't wait till they get here.

Ok, will leave it there CSI Miami is about to start (no way near as good as the original! Come on Grissom!!!), and I want to at least attempt to start something lol.

Oh and here is one comet pick from that last post that mysteriously deleted my photos..... do we need to get Mulder and Scully in on the case maybe?!

TFL... TTFN :)

Holidays are over

well for Julieanne they are ;). She went back to school on Wednesday and is now in grade one! Where did the time go? She seems to be loving it, so that is always a good start lol.

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 ;)

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...

TTFN

Just some photos...

Of the McNaught's comet last night.. They are pretty bad, being very blurry and noisy, but it was too dark for me to focus on anything (how does everyone else do it?!), and I had to bump my ISO way up lol.. Anyway, you get the idea ;)

Tagged!

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....

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...

TTFN

me?

Thanks Lis for the link :)

Finally.......

First off: Happy New Year everyone!!

Well, where do I start? I hope that you all had a fantastic Christmas, and a wonderful New Year. Ours was very nice, not too much hassle at all, as it can sometimes get....

Christmas Eve was spent at my sisters. They have just bought a new house, and she was very eager to hold our yearly family Christmas Eve night there. Julieanne was very excited to be going, as they have also just got 2 new puppies... talk about biting off more than you can chew! lol. It was a good night though.. .although the drive home was a little scary... the weather turned VERY ugly there for a while, but we do need the rain :)

Christmas day started with Julieanne getting up around 7.30, not too bad really. Then she realised that no-one else was up and went back to bed. I felt sorry for her then and had to get up so she could at least open up something. She scored well, getting 2 Bratz dolls, a Cabbage Patch kid and a mp4 player (the best purchase ever! lol)

It was then off to Wayne's brothers for lunch. They seem to do it every year and Lisa's (SIL) parents are there too... it's always pretty good, with lots of photos being taken, although this year I might not be the only one snapping away. Waynes' mum got a new digital sony cybercam, and she seems to be enjoying it wonderfully... shame there might actually be some photos of me taken!

Stewart ended up getting a new skim board from them, but more on that later ;).

We didn't end up staying for the usual lunch-turn-into-dinner thing, and were home by 7, which was nice as Stewart still had to open the presents here for him. He also ended up with an mp4 (love it lol) also a Simpsons Chess board, Rubik (sp?) cube and dvds.

Boxing day (the 26th), we travelled up to Healeville to Waynes Aunts house. I must say that she did a FANTABULOUS job of decorating. She is the most creative person I know, and I sooooo want her to get into digiscrapping.... I'm sure that everything she touches turns out stunning!

They own this restaurant in Healesville, and have asked me to take some photos for the website, and do a new flyer for them.. .I'm very honoured, but still feel like my stuff is way not good enough, but I'll give it a go I suppose.. I really should get onto it really...

New Years Eve we went to some friends house for a bbq. Her parents were there as well, and some people had a little too much to drink, making for some awkward moments, but all in all it was ok. I guess I should start drinking just to fit in more ;). Julieanne did get a little upset later because she didn't see any good fireworks, so we had to explain that the don't have really good ones in the suburbs, just some small backyard stuff.

Wednesday was a really hot one (we've had a few of those lately), and the kids were desperate to cool down... We've got a spare tank that catches the rain of our garage for the garden, so we decided to use that to set up a waterslide for them.. .I know we are in water restrictions, but this is water that can't be used for anything else anyway.. .It's had bore water mixed with it... The kids had a ball. I remember when I was little, and when we had the black plastic slide, it was so much fun, I'm glad that they got to experience it for a little while at least.

The next day, was another hot one. So we decided to go to the beach. We packed our stuff (and boy does that take awhile lol) and headed off to Dromana. It was packed! And the beach that we ended up at got deep very quickly... not my ideal spot. We lasted there a couple of hours and decided to go home. Good thing we took the long way and went through Flinders, as we found a lovely beach there, with hardly any people, long shallows and some rock pools! The beach wasn't the cleanest (seaweed was everywhere), but we all agreed that it was better than the Dromana one. Julieanne even found a starfish near the rock pools.

Friday came round and, yep once again, the temperature was going over the mid thirties. We rang my BIL and asked him if he wanted to go to the beach (this is the most we have EVER been in the nearly 12 years me and Wayne have been together! lOL), he said yep, so we headed up to Mordialloc where he lives. The beach there was fantastic, lots of shallows and lots of areas for Stewart to use his new skimboard! I got a HEAP of photos of crashes, but missed most of the really good ones lol. Wayne had a go, and fell off, and even Julieanne had a turn sitting on it, and getting pulled around while hanging onto a noodle ;). She also got some new swimmers and loved posing in them. I really wanted to get her a one piece, but this two piece was so cute I couldn't help myself.

On Sunday we were asked if we'd like to go to Matthew (SIL's nephew) birthday party at the funpark in Whittlesea. The weather was shocking, but it turned out to be a good day, I think that if it had of been a better day weather wise, the park would have been packed. I went on the bumper boat things and got totally saturated! I really didn't think I was going to get that wet, but everyone seemed to be picking on me and squirting us. Julieanne loved the go karts and the toboggan, I'm sure that she is going to be a daredevil.. funny girl that she is. Bugs frighten her silly, but she loves fast moving things lol. I got some great photos of them in the go karts too. Julieanne does her peace signs back-to-front, so it looks like she is giving the fingers.. .at least I hope it's not intentional...... lol

Well not a lot happening on the layout front, but I did manage to do these. The first one is of Julieanne's Christmas concert, done in fotofusion and a scraplift of this one by Anna Aspnes. Did not do it justice by half! fonts: helvetica, 2peas billboard, paper by Denise Docherty from blended Autumn, and paper and elements by Shabby Princess, holiday magic. Frame brush by Jason Gaylor.

I also finally manged to get some of our holiday photos done. These were from Wet and Wild, and I'd have to say that it was one of the best days we had.

Again, another fotofusion layout ;). fonts: itc avant garde book, 2peas rubberducky. Overlay by Nancie Rowe Janitz.

Phew... that was a post and a half!! I really should keep on top of it shouldn't I? lol, don't see it happening anytime soon though. Thanks for getting this far (even if you did skim it lol)

TTFN

A bit of overkill....

But just playing... I'm sure that it will look all over the place for some though, as I have no idea what I'm doing ;).....

Christmas is nearly here !

And I still haven't managed to get all my Christmas shopping done. Today is the day though! But it's sooooo hard to buy for some people.

Anyway, I spent yesterday wrapping WAY too many presents, I think we always tend to go overboard with presents (except for last year ;) )... good thing it only comes around once a year right?

Not a lot has been happening around here.... well apart from the fact that Wayne got his other truck!!!! I never wanted to get another one, mainly because, unless I wanted to drive it (yeah right!!) we needed to hire someone else.... And I really don't want the responsibility of staff. But it's done now, and I know that this is what Wayne has always wanted. Plus he is a go getter, so I'm sure that everything will work out fine (was there a tiny bit of sarcasm there? NO...... ;) ). If things get too bad we can always sell it. But it seems to be working fine at the moment :), and if anyone can get it too work he can... (added just in case he happens to stumble onto this post ;))

lol, one of the good things about Wayne getting this other truck is it makes him feel really guilty about spending the money, so.......... I get to get some little things too ;). I 'm not sure if I had my flash when I did my last post, but I have it now! And I got my lightsphere too.... after hours of agonising over whether to get the cloud or clear, I ended up getting the clear... lol, still not sure if I made the right decision though... I shocking with making up my mind!

Here's one of my first shots without the lightsphere (before I got it) bouncing off the ceiling.

We bought a new Christmas Tree too. I wanted a real one, but must say that the one we ended up getting is pretty nice. It was on sale in Target so we made a special trip up to Fountain Gate.

And here is the hangy thing that is hanging over my table at the moment... I think that I've just gotten over the paranoia of it falling and crushing my laptop. I suppose I shouldn't have said that........ I can hear that cello start up again.

Julieanne had her end of year school concert too. It was so cute, seeing all the preps singing "6 white boomers".... I'm so sad that she is going to be in grade one next year :(. The year went WAY to fast!! She seemed to have a ball up on "stage" though... even with her broken antler ;).

Not a lot happening on the layout front... lacking some major mojo. But I did manage this last night while Wayne was at a work Christmas party. Actually stayed up till 11 to finish it, lol, that is late for me!

CC very welcome. The paper is by Shabby Princess, from her holiday sampler 2006, just desaturated. Fonts are Avant Garde and LD Red Hatters Hand.

Well I think I might leave it at that. I think that I've sufficiently waffled on enough to make this post worthwhile ;)

Oh wait, almost forgot! Judy, a huge congrats on the birth of little Ella. I know that it was a while ago now, lol, but better late than never ;)... and I hope that you are recouping after Debs big night too.

Once again, thanks for visiting, and I hope that you all have a very Merry Christmas (because I don't see another post happening before then :P)

TTFN

For Lis...

Although it is a little on the late side...

Well where do I start? Not that a lot has been happening in my life.. .but I'd prefer that to the opposite I suppose.

I had a birthday a 2 and bit weeks ago (had it been that long already?), which was nice as I got some money and a voucher to GET MY FLASH!!

Ever since using Judy's at the Mac get together, I've really wanted to get one... I HATE the onboard flash of my canon, and to get some good indoor shots at Christmas I felt I needed to get one ;). Next purchase is a Lightsphere from here. Now just to decide on the clear or cloud......

Christmas decorations aren't up yet. We were supposed to do it on Sunday, but dh just informed me that he didn't want to get a real tree (which I wanted) so now we need to look for a fakey... and I want a nice one, which aren't cheap! Real pain in the bum too as I would have gone to Lee's for lunch, if I had've gotten organised early enough, with some of the other girls..... Oh well next time.

Speaking of the MAC girls, here is the layout I finally managed to get finished the other day of our weekend.

Doesn't look very big, you might want to click on it to have a look, but don't read the journaling.... it's not the best. Oh and had to add, don't pay attention to the date on it lol. Thanks Sharon for picking up on it, just didn't get around to adjusting my web version ;). Umm I think that I used an overlay by Nancie Rowe Janitz, and the fonts are Avant garde, and Kofi.

Here is another layout from a while ago.

I used Anna Aspnes Artistique papers, and some Brushes by Jason Gaylor. Fonts are Avant Garde, love and LD red hatters hand.

I also need to send a BIG congratulations to Judy who welcomed to the world her first grandchild last week... Judy you are going to make the best Mama :).
