Meet Ted and Lucy....

......two cute-as-pie Kelpie puppies who came to live with us last weekend.

Yes, I know....another couple of mouths to feed.....but truly, who could resist faces as adorable as these.....

This is Big Ted - he has a very, um....how can put this politely....chunky figure....we love his little wide view from the back.....



Miss Lucy is the sweetest cuddliest girl....pick her up and she burrows herself under your neck....way better than a scarf!



Jemima is tolerating their antics......just.....




Tim took the kids to the movies yesterday (along with the rest of Inverell it seemed) to see the long awaited....


Leaving me at home to finish off another good book.....


......picked it up cheap at a bookstore in Broken Hill last year.
When searching for an image just now I find out it's the last in a series of 3! How annoying! You really wouldn't have guessed though.....a complete story in its own right.  I also found out Oprah had it on her book club a few years back....and its been made into a movie too!

One more week until the school hols......kids are counting down.....

Plus a certain someone's 7th birthday on Friday.....
she wants a party with a RAINBOW theme.....any ideas please pass them on!

Layout share

Been scrappin again.....
This time for the latest sketch challenge at Pencil Lines.


.....correction tape makes a great base for strip journaling on a dark or patterned background....


....continued my latest fad for crumply edges....


.......this is the sketch......versatile don't you think?


....and great for wallet sized pics....print them in one strip and cut down on trimming.

That's all for now!

It's raining it's pouring...

....and Penny is scrapping.....(sing it with me now!)

OK. Time to share the latest SUYS challenge with you dear readers. A lovely simple colour challenge. Check out the details here.





Here is my double page that featured in SM recently....Vol13 No7......the best thing about this one is that Kate and her friends showed the mag around school and got to feel "famous" for 15 minutes......you can imagine the excitement!




How was your long weekend?
We took the kids out of school a day early and made a quick escape to the coast here.  A fabulous little spot right on the river - the perfect quiet getaway.


The sun shone down on us at first.
We launched the new boat and set off to explore the river.....climbed the ginormous sand dune....


......got lots of bites and a few fish too.....



.....went paddle-boating....


......and then it rained. And rained....and rained....and rained. Bucketed down in fact. All day and all night for the rest of the holiday.

We had to slosh through the puddle (or should I say lake) outside our cabin to pack the car on our final morning.
And just made it back out to the highway before the road flooded.


But you know what?
I loved this mini-holiday, rain and all!
When else does one get to snuggle up and read a whole 630 page novel from start to finish and feel completely guilt-free about it!


Loved this book! Was totally absorbed until the very last word.
Bye for now xxx
