Howdy,
if you're looking for some indoor fun to fill a few hours tonight, join us over at SCRAPBOOKnBITS for the June CyberCrop.
This month the theme is babies (to celebrate with a few 'expectant mums' from the SnB Forum).
Fun, games, challenges, scrapping & chatting is surely a good way to spend a cold Saturday evening !!
See you there:O)

REWIND 1.5 WEEKS ...
WARNING .... LONG POST AHEAD !!
Lots happening/happened over the last week or so, lots of scrapbooking and finally a chance to update my blog !
THE SCRAPBOOKnBITS RETREAT
A fantastic 3 days of un-interrupted scrapbooking bliss .... great to catch up with old friends, meet forum friends IRL and meet new friends ... all in all, a great bunch and a fab weekend.
Here are some pics of the projects from the 2 workshops that i hosted:
FAMILY CANVAS ALBUM... a hinged double canvas display with an internal display and fold out mini album.
FAVOURITE PICS DISPLAY STAND ... some favourite pics featured on a little 'flip over' craftwood display stand
Last week was pretty much the same as every other week ... busy, busy with home, school work etc but certainly felt a whole lot better knowing a long weekend was to follow!
The lead up to the long weekend was a little shaky with bad weather and threats of a repeat of last years floods ... but ... thank goodness there were no major weather dramas! The weather was a little ordinary (although the sun did peak through a few times in short bursts) but poor weather makes for great lazy time at home and scrapbooking ... and ... celebrating our Wedding Anniversary.
To the day/date ... Saturday was our 11th Wedding Anniversary (and exactly 12 months since our cruise - gosh time flies) ... after a big sleep-in we had a yummy bacon & egg brekkie (which was more like brunch really LOL!) and true to form i received a red rose for each year we have been married ... and ... our bottle of Moet wasn't bad either!!
Sunday was another wet day which was perfect for scrapbooking ... got together with some friends and had a very creative day doing these:
SPEED
a no patterned paper LO ... just paint, stamping & scrummy grungeboard!
LIVE
using the gorgeous new Chatterbox range ... if you haven't already seen this new range you gotta have a peak HERE
FLY
a LO of my Dad doing his Tigermoth Joyflight earlier this year.
A DAY AT THE BEACH
using the KI Memories Lace/Word Cardstock i painted words that were relevant to make them 'stand-out' as a feature!
... told you this was a long post ...
the SCRAP YOUR STASH challenge for June is underway ... this month is Stamps, Strips & Stitches.
This is a fun challenge to use items and products from your stash that haven't seen daylight for a while ... and the opportunity to win SnB $$ to purchase more items for your stash!!! Come & join us !!
Yesterday was a very lazy day other than a brief outing to look at some camcorders/video cameras (or whatever they call them these days) ... mmm ... i think this one requires a little more homework than we anticipated. We have an older style video camera but it is a little bulky in today's standard, and we would like a little 'palm size' compact thing to take to America with us .... but then there's the dilemna of SD Card or HDD, memory space, filming time, optical zooms etc etc .... any suggestions, tips or information would be greatly welcomed!!
Back to work today [sigh] ....
Tommorrow night we are attending the Confirmation service at our school church with friends of ours whereby i have been asked to be the sponsor ... such a lovely occasion/celebration for the children (but i bet there will be a few Dads anxious about missing the State of Origin !! LOL!!)
Well i think i have rambled for long enough ... thanks for visiting ...
Have a great week ... keep smiling :O)
