Paperific....eventually!

Went to the Paperific show yesterday. Left nice and early to meet Debbie and Elizabeth....Got there a bit late though. I had a little run in with a wet road and an embankment!!!!!

It looked something like this...



Ooops!
It was Mark's car too! Double Ooops!!

I'm OK though. A little sore today but no other injuries. I am just so fortunate that there were no other cars around at the time. I am also lucky that I ended up on the high side of the embankment as the other side is a nice big drop into the trees! You can see the drop right behind the Fireman.

A BIG thank you to my wonderful friends Debbie and Elizabeth who picked me up and still dragged me into to Paperific show. It was just what I needed!!!!!!

Loved the show. Picked up lots of little bits and pieces. Lots of yummy ribbon!!!! Got to see the Cricut in action too. Love it even more now!! Can't wait until mine arrives.

Got to meet the Lovely Phillipa form Lime Tart too.

There has been no scrapping going on for a few days now. Hope to get some done tonight. And hey, I've got some nice car pics to get printed too!!

Have a great week.

Scrap ya Later.

What's With the Weather?

So 'they' say when there is nothing to talk about conversation turns to the weather.

So how about this weather we are having? Sunscreen and hats one day, Boots and coats the next. Ahhh Melbourne. You've gotta love it!

I'm off to Paperific this Saturday. YAY!!!!!!!! Haven't been to a show in a couple of years so I am really looking forward to it.

These are a couple of layouts from this week.

I love this picture of Ali!!



This is a quickie from Easter last year. I'm trying to get a couple of these oldies done.



Jen I need some new photos!!

Mum I know you're looking!!

Thanks for visiting.
Scrap ya Later!

Bad News Good News

The bad news is that I rang to see about seating for our flight to Cairns. The bloke very casually says, "Oh hasn't someone contacted you? Those flights have been cancelled."
WHAT!!!!!
The good news is we organised other flights and we will be staying in Port Douglas for an extra night. Oh well. I'll find a way to cope with that somehow!

Just a little bit of scrapping recently...



This was made with the leftovers from the previous one. I finally got some good pics of the flappy thing Andrew does when he's excited and the face he pulls. He's a classic.


Loving this one... Got some great pics of all thie kids on this visit to the local Tulip Festival last week.



That's about it for me.

Thanks for visiting.

Cheers.

Lime Tart

Just a quick post. I am working tomorrow and should have been in bed ages ago.

My work is up on the Lime Tart site. It was really exciting to see it there and it has been wonderful to work with such a lovely kit. Thank you Phillipa!!!

The first is using the Collections frames and tiles...













In the next one I used the 6 x 6 papers on a 12 x 12 layout...













This is a 6 x 6 layout. Something new for me.




















And finally a card...Love this!













I've got some more layouts to post in the next couple of days. Working Wednesday too so it's going to be a busy week but at least I will be earning some scrapping money.

Have a great week.
Cheers

Tuesday Update - Just a quickie!!

YAY!! I have finished my projects for LimeTart. I am really happy with them. Here are a couple of sneak peeks. They will be on the site on Saturday. Hopefully there will be some good light so I can take the picks tomorrow. These turned out a little dark.




Had a big scrapping weekend. Friday night with the girls and then all day SAturday. I have been looking forward to the all day crop at The Scrapbook Lady for a few weeks now but I lost my Scrapping Mojo along the way.

I forgot to mention in my lasy entry that when I got home from my 'lovely drive' in the country, I found an email from Kelly at Scrap Apple letting me know that one of my layouts had won their monthly prize. I had a great time picking and choosing some goodies using my gift voucher. They arrived today. I picked a couple of things that I wanted to try but wouldn't have normally picked for myself.

Well that's about it.
Have a Great week!!!

How Long does it take to get to Howlong?

It's an old joke but it's just not funny anymore.

I decided on a last minute trip to Howlong to meet up with Mum and Dad for a couple of days. Mark was working so I packed up the kids on Sunday and set off. All was going well until...

12:53pm...


Andrew had just answered the call of nature beside this road in the middle of nowhere. We had gone about 50m down the road and the battery light came on and then the water temp went right up to H. I pulled over and popped the hood. Everything was sizzling away. Called the RACV and two hours later we were on the road again with a new alternator belt. He also said he tightened the power steering belt. More about that later...



We travelled on the Benalla and turned into the petrol station for Gas. It was then I discovered that I couldn't steer!!!!!! It was like driving a car without power steering only 10 times harder...

3:42 pm...

That's right. Another call to the RACV. This time a cog on the Power Steering belt had ceased and couldn't be fixed on the spot.
Two hours later we were on the road agin with a hire car (Thank goodness for RACV Total Care). After one wrong turn we arrived at the caravan park just after 7pm.
A 4 hour trip took us almost 9 hours!!!

Oh and if things weren't bad enough when I went to pay for my gas I discovered that my Mastercard had expired the day before!!!

Thankfully my wonderful Mum and Dad had dinner waiting for us so we were able to sit and relax. The kids were sooooooooo good. They were stuck in the car for most of the time as they couldn't run around near the road.

The rest of the trip flew by with a hot trip to a local show, freezing dips in the pool, and an attack magpie that 'disappeared' while we were out one day.



Huge scrapping weekend coming up. Lots of projects to get through and things to catch up on. I am really looking forward to it.

Have a great day!!
