3 Weeks Worth!

Gosh, i'm sure it gets faster every month .... the days fly, before you know it it is the end or start of another week, then a new month rolls around .... crazy!

It seems like forever since i've updated but feels like i just haven't had the chance to sit for half an hour and think about what i've been doing for the past 3 weeks and put it into words.

Two weekends ago my sister (Karen) and i went on a road trip to Tamworth and joined a fab bunch of ladies for a scrapbooking retreat. Met lots of new scrapbooking friends, had lots of laughs, experienced some good ole' fresh (or should i say freezing) country air, got a bit of scrapbooking done and generally had a great time.

Here are two of the LO's i completed:





This one was using items from my stash ... always good to find goodies that you forgot you even owned.


I love this new Cosmo Cricket Early Bird range ... particularly because it can be utilized for boy or girl LO's.




After a weekend away the "back to reality" swings into effect real fast .... we were all hanging out for the school hols and a break from exams, routines etc. This last term has seemed very long. But it all seemed wothwhile when Blake's school report arrived on Monday great results and pleasing comments. We are very proud of his achievements for his first (half) year at high school.

Next week we (my sister, myself and the kids) are flying up to Brisbane to meet up with Mum & Dad whom have been travelling for a few months .... will be great to see them and they are so looking forward to seeing the kids.

The following weekend is the BIG Scrapbook'n'Bits CYBER RETREAT WEEKEND .... check this out:



all the details are HERE

I will be hosting a workshop to create this little bit of cuteness ...



Have a great weekend ....

Keep smiling ....
