I Want Puddles!

Where is the rain??? I hate these brown paddocks with grass that crunches under your feet. I hate that we have to hand feed the cows, they're not getting as fat as they should, and the prices are down at the saleyards. I hate that the dust blows everwhere every time the breeze comes up. I hate the horrid little person who keeps lighting grass fires on the side of the road. And I hate that we have about 2 days of water left in our tanks!

Sorry about my grumpiness people.........but we really desperately need some of the wet stuff.......today!!!

I dug out these photos from last year and scrapped them last night - just to remind me what it's like to have rain. This day we'd had so much that the back paddock was under water and we even had rapids in the creek! Beth and Mia had to strip off and jump in of course!

Note the only supplies I used were scissors, paper and pen! Paper is Daisy D's Wonder Years.

It's All About The Look!

I dedicated this latest layout to my beautiful girl, Kate and her "passion for fashion"...........at 8 and a half she is so very concerned about looking good wherever she goes! It scares me to think what she'll be like in a few years time! Perhaps by then she'll be over it................NOT!

People's Choice Update

Scrapbooking Memories has just announced the results of the People's Choice Awards on their website...........I wasn't a winner this time, but I was absolutely chuffed to have had my little page nominated!

Congrats to Hetty and Ruey who look forward to some wonderful prizes! Yay girls!

I know so many people voted for me - THANKYOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!!

A Talented Bunch

This is the project we did at my Gum Flat class on Wednesday night. The beautiful baby boy is the newest member of our family - nephew Jake - a second miracle IVF bubby for my brother and sister-in-law! Adorable!


Using Kaisercraft's "Rough & Tough" double sided papers we had a lot of laughs (and a few scary moments!) tearing and rolling a triple frame. So effective!


Look at these fantastic layouts the girls created - aren't they clever!
