monday 13th november

well i have a few lo's to share, i had my very first cyber crop over at http://craftinginstyle.openstores.com.au/product.html?id=612 the three challenges that were set were fantastic, the believe in your dreams lo had to be a basic lo you could not use any pp omg that was hard, you also had to hand cut most of your title and the only enbellies you could use was some chipboard.
this face melts my heart lo was a sketch challenge and you also had to use a b/w photo,and i really love how this one turned out. And the last lo had to have 4 or more photos some ribbon and something about the word first in it, am really happy with all 3 lo

new lo.....

here is a lo i have done for a challenge over at zig zag really enjoyed this one as we had to use flower stamps, well i have had the mm foam flower stamps that my mother in law bought me for a while now and have never used them so i used them for this challenge.
Didn't really do much this weekend, Saturday morning i went shopping for some clothes for my Melbourne trip and got a few good bargins then at 12.30 we went to watch my ds play he Lacrosse game and didn't get home til about 4.30 did a bit of scrapbooking for about an hour,and saturday night my dd and her boyfriend came for dinner and to watch the footy, hubby was wrapped that St George won he was running around like an idiot......lol....and on Sunday hubby and i went to the markets didn't buy anything except strawberries and they were yummy.....

Well today i am off shopping again,there is a new scrapbooking shop opening up about 5 mins drive from my house and today is their grand opening so it worked out really well cause i don't have to work today.....yay....hopefully they will have the new basic grey papers.
I'd better go and get ready they open in an hour...

Have a great day.......

ok here goes, my first entry for my first ever blog......

Well firstly i must say that this past week has been an emotional one what with the death of Steve Irwin (i think i'm still in shock) and then yesterday with the death of Peter Brock,and then the passing of Princess Rani,my heart goes out to Mel and her family at this sad time,i have been reading Mel's blog for a few months now and was checking every day in the hope that Rani would recieve her liver transplant, i was devestated to hear that she had lost her fight. May you rest in peace sweet little Rani

Ok on other news my daughter finally got a job YAY, she finished grade last 12 year and has been having a holiday for the past 10 months (the teens these days) She started on Monday at Amart all Sports and has been doing 8 hrs a day the poor bugga is tired and doesn't know whats hit her,Welcome to the real world, any way with her getting this job it has really taken a load of my mind as i was really starting to worry about her having no job.
Well i think thats about it for my first entry hopefully i'll remember to update.....lol
oh before i go here is the latest lo i have done its of my son nick playing Lacrosse,he has made the Queensland team for under 15's and at the end of this month he is off to Melbourne to represent Qld .....i'm so pround of him he has really commited himself to this sport .
