HEY DUDE !!

Last night i hosted the DUDE WORKSHOP at SnB.

The ladies were a bundle of fun (as usual) and it is great to see their creations and variations of the workshop.

Here are the LO's i created for the workshop (using the scrumptious Prima Dude Range)





... i have to say, i looooved working with this range and in particular, looooove the patterned tapes.

On a different note, today we met with the travel agent and collected our travel docs, tickets, full itinery etc for our holiday. Only 5.5 weeks to go ... it's starting to feel real now!

Hope you are all having a great week!

Lakeside Pics

I wanted some fresh photos for a secret squirrel project i am doing at the moment and decided to get the kids together for an hour this afternoon take some happy snaps.

I don't have a fancy camera ... just a "point & shoot" but not a bad result.









These pics were taken along the waterfront near where we live .... it really is just beautiful .... just one of the many reasons we love living here !!

On a different note ... as the weekend comes around this marks the weekly countdown for our holidays .... 2 weeks 'til we go to the snow & 7 weeks 'til America .... wow, starting to feel a little excited !!

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Keep smiling :O)

Running late as usual ....

I feel like i am running up a BIG hill at the moment and when i get to about half way and think i'm getting somewhere i slide back to the bottom again .....

Firstly ..... thanks to all that popped in say "hi" ... it is always nice find comments !!

I was going to take a pic of drawing the winner but i figured that would be another 'to do' on my list adding more steps on that big hill !! LOL!! So this will have to do .....

The winner of my RAK is ....

LEANNE O'C

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! can you please email me with your address so i can send your parcel :O)

Sadly, i have had no time to scrap over the past week and a bit ... but on Sunday we took the opporunity of none of us having to be anywhere, lovely sunny weather and headed out for some Family time!

We went for a drive into Newcastle, grabbed some fish & chips and found a nice little spot above King Edward Park watching over the ocean, ships and hang gliders that were soaring overhead .... it was very relaxing and enjoyable.
Being a true scrapbooker and never missing the opportunity for a quick photo, i set up the camera on auto on the bonnet of the car (which you can see in the photo ... oops!) ... here are a few pics ...





Very busy week at work this week as i am flying solo ..... counting the days 'til our holidays .... about 3 weeks 'til the snow .... and about 8 weeks 'til America .... getting very excited !!

.... hope to be back soon to share some scrapbooking creations (incuding the LO's from the DUDE WORKSHOP i am hosting on Tues night over at SnB)

Hope you are all having a good week.

Keep Smiling,
