BUSY, BUSY and LOTS TO SHARE!

We have had a busy, busy weekend and all very enjoyable.

Following on from my last post ... our Sunday event was very exciting - especially for my Dad!

My sister gave him a voucher for his birthday (in October) for a joy flight (around the Hunter Valley, Lake Macquarie & Newcastle) in a TigerMoth Plane! He has booked the flight so many times, but due to the very unpredictable weather we have had over the past few months, on each occastion the flight has had to be cancelled ... but ... yesterday was the perfect day.





My dad has quite an infatuation with flying and no doubt he was in his 'element of glory'!!

Today we spent the afternoon out with a few friends and took the kids to the Mingarra Aquatic Centre (on the Central Coast) ... wow, what a great centre!!
The kids had a great time, then we all enjoyed a delicious meal before heading home!
I love relaxing afternoons with great company such as this one!!

For the rest of the weekend i have pretty much been scrapping, scrapping, scrapping ... love it!

I have made a start on Mum & Dad's little album but won't share until it is complete.

The other projects have all been for workshops with SCRAPBOOKnBITS ...

FREE ONLINE LAYOUT WORKSHOP (with optional kit) for Valentine's Day ...



I thoroughly enjoyed creating this LO ... beautiful flowers, hearts & bling!! (I'm a boy theme scrapbooker and don't usually get to play with such pretty products!)


Next on the Agenda ....

CRAFTY CLIPBOARD WORKSHOP ... very cute (even if i do say so myself)!!




and last but not least ...

the SCRAP YOUR STASH monthly challenge has now been set for February.



Lots of fun & inspiration to delve into your stash creating a layout with products you forgot you even owned !! Join in and you can win a S'n'B Voucher to spend!


Last day of the school holidays tommorrow ... we have a little tradition that we have a special family day out whereby Blake gets to choose an outing/activity and meal out ... i think we are off to Hog's Breath for lunch and then the movies (and somewhere in between to update our mobile phones hopefully)!!

Phew ... a long post tonight ... thanks for visiting ...

Have a great week :O)
