Just so you don't forget ...

One last reminder ...

On the scrapbooking front ...

I am working my way through lots of exciting projects to meet looming deadlines ... but here's a few i can now share.

Last week was the Bumper Summer Worskhop at SnB ... this was a lovely bright kit and included the gorgeous Prima stamp set. Lots of fun to play with and we completed 3 layouts ...





Only 10 more sleeps 'til this ...



This will be a great scrap day with a bunch of fun ladies. More details HERE

As mentioned ... there is an optional FREE WORKSHOP being held on the day. Here is a sneak peek of what we'll be creating:

You will be able to create the LO using items from your own stash, or budget kit will be available for purchase on the day (for approx $10). All details will be posted on the SnB forum in the next few days so you know what you'll need to bring!

That's all i can share for now ... hope everyone is having a great week!

I'm loving the weather at the moment .... sunny days and cool nights ... can't get much better than that!

Keep smiling :O)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK !

The last birthday in our family this year ... and his last year in his 30's (much to his horror LOL!)

Yesterday we had a great boating day out with friends at the water



Even these little guys came to join in on the occasion!



Unfortunately one of those crazy storms whipped up and we had to pack up in an instant & cut our afternoon short .... not to worry, we'd had a great day anyway.

Even more crazy is that by the time we got home (about 2 mins down the road) it was all over and back to lovely weather again .... what the ??!

Mark & Blake continued their own fun at home .... what was meant to be washing down the boat & equipment turned into washing down Blake ...



which turned into throwing the sponge & soap suds at Dad ...



which turned into a good hose soaking ...




which turned into a full blown water fight ...



which turned into me taking refuge indoors !!! LOL!!! .... and no more photos!

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Have got some LO's to share from the Bumper Summer Workshop over at SnB last week ... will share next post!

Keep smiling :O)

MONDAY

Another weekend past, the start of another week ... Monday again!

We had a fairly non-eventful weekend but was busy just the same. The usual things, grocery shopping, washing & ironing, cooking .... but it's not all bad, a Friday night crop was thrown in amongst the mix.

I have all but finished an album i seemed to have been working on forever [sigh] of our South Coast/Great Ocean Rd/Victoria/Broken Hill holiday from back in 2006 .... yes you read that correctly 2006! I am dying to start an album for our USA holiday but am determined to finish the other first. Will share some peaks when complete ... which will hopefully be this week.

If anyone is looking for a bit of motivation to complete a quick LO, i am currently hosting this month's EYE SPY CHALLENGE at SCRAPBOOKnBITS

Here is the LO Example i created (this is my Niece & Nephew and the LO will be donated to my sister for her album; hence, the title!).

More happenings on the scrapping front ..... if anyone is looking for a "scrapping" day out with a bunch of friendly like minded people, mark your calendar for the last Sunday of the month ...

More details HERE

Whatever you have on your agenda for this week, have fun doin' it!!

Keep smiling :O)
