2011-12-08T21:14:00.003+10:00

well.. heeeellllooooooooooooooooo..... i'm here to share a little bit of fun with you.. {oh and a rand may be at the end..sorry...}
well to start with .. this one is all about the Lily Bee Design MEMORANDUM collection kit... i got this as my showcase for a manufacturer watch over at the boxx.... and how fun is it.. full of cool classics and some fun but not super bold prints....
anyho. i went with the not cool basics and a splash of not so bright pattern... added some super FUNKY photos and wallah....

"Technicolor"

and then some closies... {the only things not in the kit. the paint {obviously, the black card, thread and the technicolor title thats Echo park and the tags}...
so there you go.. a 6x4 photo at the top.. some black paint .. and some super RANDOM but planned well sort of ..as i went along planned stitching.......
the title ...
and then a couple of mini prints.. cool hey.. i must admit that i really like the way this all came together..wooohoooo i 'm lovin a layout... sweet as.. its the first time in ages that i've liked everything about a layout... woohoo.. HAPPY dance..... so thats it on the scrappy front..

BUT i just need to get this out .. so sorry suckers... fast forward to the comments if you want.. so ... is it just me or does anyone else feel somedays .. why.. why the crap am i a mum.. dont get me wrong i love my kids..they are almost all i have..but seriously there are days where i just think why the fuck.. when they just dont want to listen.. when they yell at me... or when after finally having enough of not getting listened to i loose it and ORDER them to bed.. well tonight took the cake.. i ordered to bed... but gave them the option of givin mama and papa kisses before they went and yes i'd still read them a LITTLE book.. so what does Tarj do.. he gets up and kicks the wall...seriously.. YOU are only 5.. holy crap what kind of attitude are you going to have in a few years... {and yes needless to say he WASNT read any books}... but .. i just wonder.. why.... ??? i know i shouldnt complain they are pretty good kids... and they are smart... granted Ivy does talk alittle too much..but mostly they are good..so why do i doubt somedays on having them.. i hate that i think it sometimes... and then they'll look at me or ask for a kiss or just do something funny and then i forget ...but is it normal to feel like this.. i know everyone has their bad days..but please someone tell me they have minutes or seconds when You think that...and i'm not insane..please.. oh and anyone who knows me KNOWS that i would never hurt them so please dont ring the child protection unit... i think that i will be better.. in about..oh i dont know as long as it takes me to finish writing this...but.... just a big fat BLAH... so thanks for listening..and i just had to vent..sometimes i hate not having someone here to actually say these things out loud..but then again i'm not sure that i would actually SAY them if someone was here... anyho.. thats it...

bye and thanks for letting do that.. oh heck its MY blog...so i can say what i want... ,, VENT ended..

i hope you all have a great couple of days.. and if i dont see you sooner i'll be back sunday for the SESH...

and then the next one.. well i went totally different..from rather minimalist to well.. NOT... hehehe

"SFW" see told you it was different.... {note the twine and black card arent included in the kit}.... and then some closies...

the title.. just went simple and used Serenity's initials..... and i just added the snippets of quotes throughout the page as a type of reminder for her...
another Scrapmatts ATC that i used as a feature instead with the clear cuts butterfly again....
oh yeah.. i had another go at that ripped curled triangley do dah... thingy bob.... i'm getting better at them... well i think anyho...

so.. onto the bestest bit.. the sesh.... well i have some saved ..well that were in my head... so here goes....yeah yeah.. the Bloody Beetroots.. aka warp warp song.. woop woop... {however you spell it you know what i mean...}.. love dancing to this one ....

challenge take 2...

2011-12-01T13:37:00.002+10:00

you remember a couple of posts ago it was my turn to set the challenge over at THE BOXX for the fortnight and i'd done a layout for the example and i hated it.. {thanks heaps for the lovin by the way ladies}.. the inspiration is the work of body artist Emma Hack and anyho i did another layout to make up for it.and this time i went on a whole different track... i focused on her backgrounds.. they look like wall paper.. so bright and superbly fun.. so thats where the inspiration for this comes from..
"Sweet and Adorable"

oh i KNOW how cute is that photo.. our daycare was lucky enough to have this years photos taken by LaBelle Photographics and i love this one of Ivy... so cute...{{oh oh so sorry for the dodgyness of the photo of the layout.. overcast day today.. whoops...}
so anyho closies..
the cluster ... featuring a Clear cuts butterfly.. and a layer of Rainbow Splendour goodness...
the simple journalling..

and finally the title....

OK so yesterday was a big day if you are into the whole Scrapbooking Memories Masters... the masters got to OUT themselves...and after a morning of speculation and a little game by me.. {hehehehe}... some super excitement for me when some of my closest scrappy friends were announced.. so congrats to my peeps Renee Iveson and Kim Jeffress.. and also to the super tallented Leanne Allinson..and then dont forget the one i stalk and drool over the most.. the super human Louise Nelson..

i am so excited for next years mags.. {appart from the fact i already have a few commissioned..lol} the diverse range of artists this year is amazing .. i am so EXcited for each and everyone ......... yay...

ok.. so there you go.. i have no other news at the moment.. still nothing on the house... still nothing goin on in my life.. yep.. i know.. boring... but i did go and see the uber tallented Belinda Lowe for a haircut and you all know how much of a superb job of them she does.. so .. by for now.. its just started to RAIN which is crap coz i'm supposed to do an outside photo shoot this afternoon.. DARN IT......

get picky... that is if i'm not late...

2011-11-28T09:55:00.003+10:00

why hello there.....
i'm thinking it maybe alittle late so i'll have to check in a sec..but as soon as i saw this sketch over at Get Picky i knew i had to have a go at it.. you know me .. i just LOVE love circles...

and this is what i came up with....
"Down down Down"

DO you see that?? i pretty much stuck to the sketch.. hahahhaaa.. there is a first time for everything after all.......... and some closies....

the title.. decided to put one of the words up side down.. just to add some extra interest.. i think it works...??
oh and these new {well newish} Pink Paislee mistables are fantastic..... i used a couple of glimmermist colours and then some RANDOM ink spots........
the photos.. i love the expression on Tarj's face... so funny......
oh and i knew i needed arrows..but couldnt find any..all i had was some negatives on a couple of sticker sheets... so i just cut around them and walllah.. the rest they say is history... but i love how it looks ..i think that blocked arrows would definately have been too much..........!!!

so there you go... i hope you are having a good monday.. i just sent the kids to play in the sand pit so i could have some chocolate and NOT share.. hahhahahaaaa........

ok.. bye.. see you soon.....

Sunday Session.......

so today.. was FUNNY to say the least.. started off as any usual Sunday..well usual for at the moment..the clean... the extra clean.. anyone who knows me that i'm not messy on a good day so the clean is just to make things sparkly.. and then since M&D are away {or were.they are now home.... eek....}... i had to mow..so i was happy coz i got ALL of the yard done..sweet.. oh and alittle tan happening.. well thought it was a slight add to the colour but apparently alittle more..abit red today..but then tomorrow will be brown..oh how blessed to have good skin.. and then.. it was... Traceys Bday on Friday so for her 35th she decided to do something alittle different... so she had an 80's Roller Skating party... yeah.. and NO there was no alcohol involved.. scary hey... so apparently since i'm an awesome friend we had to get dressed up..so i ended up doin the whole fluro thing .which is really easy ...since the fluro is BACK yeah baby.... hehehe.... so this is what i looked like... {{WARNING.. viewing is guaranteed to produce LAUGHTER...}
TOLD YOU... heheheee...
oh i got these socks awhile ago.. fell in love as soon as i saw them.. and they were perfect .. even perfect enough that BB has said that i have to wear them to soccer tomorrow night.....
BB and I incredibooth photos.. FUN..

me and the bday girl.. and i am also happy to report that there was NO need for any ambulances..we survived..even talked of doin it again..was fun....

so i have just found this..........

OMG BOYZ II MEN.. i drooled over them and their songs.. {not sure about the biebster..but anyho...worth a share...}
so reminising {spelling??whoops}
i think this was my fav...

so YEAH.. not much happening in the world of lj this weekend..sorry.. oh except i was COMPLETELY alone for the weekend.. from Friday when i finished work until about 11 today and i must say i liked IT... yep ... i did.. so what did i do..well after much discussion and Laughter with one of the gorgeous girls at work i decided on movie night..so went to Kmart after work purchased Burlesque {well had to be girly..was only me after all}.. went to bottle o { got cruisers which funnily enough i didnt have any until Saturday night} and Hannah {from work} gave me a block of chocolate for my night.. {see i said she was gorgeous oh and she is STUNNING as well.. seriously..but anyho}.. back to business.. oh and when we were talking i said that i think i'm goin to sleep in the NUDE [yep sorry for mental pictures.. hit erase NOW] .. i mean how liberating is it.. i love it.. and since i'm single i dont have the .. how shall i put this.. Man pressures that goes with naked sleeping..... so i thought HELL YEAH... and it was fantastic.. bliss.. omg... oh.. i think i should really insert a WARNING before that .. might be a slight over share.. but you see.. every.. well pretty much every night miss Ivy comes into my bed and i find it not appropriate to sleep starkass when the kids are home.. so with no one about .... wow.. and i suggest you try it sometime if you dont already that is.. .lol..... so yeah.. anyho... more movies sat night then i have already mentioned above what i did TOday.... so there you have it.. .oh and sorry but Zinga never got to me today for any requests so there are all mine today..

oh oh oh and we had 4 groups through today and the agent said 1 may look promising..so cross your fingers and your toes for me...... OK.. you have them crossed right??????

ok ok ok.. enough from me.. i hope you guys are well..and please leave me some lovin.. i still need it you know.... have an AWESOME week everyone and thanks for dropping by....

2011-11-23T20:53:00.004+10:00

heard this on way home from work..and have it stuck there now.. so i thought i'd share so it can get stuck in your head as well... {suckers}

send someone to love me........ blah blah YES PLEASE...heheehe

and then.. it was my turn to set the challenge over at The BOXX....
and i went out on a limb.. me.. seriously.. yeah i know..totally out of the blue that one......so the challenge is to have a look at Emma Hack and then use something from her work as inspiration.can be the colours, the way the figure gets lost in the background. the amazing things she does...so anyho. here are a couple of example.... {and yep i would definately get my clothes off if she made me look this amazing....}

and another example..
so how fun is she.. totally amazing..the details are beyond belief... so any ho i got totally lost in my head when i was doin this..had an idea and for the life of me i just couldnt get it to work..so this happened.....
"Today"
yep.. wishy washy spew on a layout... andyho.. closies...

yep.. totally YUK... i hate it ..but you have to show the good and the bad.. well thats what i say.. no throwing it in the bin for me......

so onto other things..... i am ok.. yes .. on tuesday.. not such a good day..and i managed to do 14 totally random useless crap facebook posts..bet that was fun for you..lol..but today was a good day.. i smashed it at work..got shit loads done.. which was good coz i got called in for an extra day.. since you know so big fat old guy is apparently coming soon and as anyone in retail knows how fully sick that is..... lol.... so sorted my areas targets out for december now just got to smash them as well.. yeehhaaa... anyho. thanks to some special friends for all their lovin and special attention and i dont mean to harp on but i thank you.... seriuosly....

anyho. hope you have a great rest of the week..and keep smiling......

a word that i LOVE....

2011-11-21T10:00:00.000+10:00

so you have probably guessed thats its a new fortnight so that means one thing..a new word.. and its a good word this fortnight.. you can use it a few ways but as long as you use it somewhere on your page i TRUST that you would meet all the requirements for judging.. so here we go...
the word is TRUST.....
yep trust its such a powerful word dont you think and sometimes its one of the hardest emotions to control..the issue of Trust. it have absolute trust in someone is a gift.. and you all know you can trust me to supply your day with random crap just to make you smile.. well i hope you do. and i hope you like visiting me as much as i like visitin all of you.. {or stalking but stalking implies a level of... well ... eekness... } holy crap i've digressed.so anyho back to the issue for today.
TRUST...so here you go.
"Trust You.."
oh yeah there is a Sketch you can use as a guide.. i didnt whoops..but head over to Bird is the Word for some more inpiration and the sketch... as soon as you've finished reading my post and left a comment that is... closies...

how gorgeous is October Afternoons Sidewalks collection... mixed with some Crate and Nikki Sivile.. and other randomness. you know i cant just use ONE brand at a time..
the title.. random stitching and paper ripping..
the photo and journaling.
and a cute banner just because i can..so there you have it..dont forget you still have alittle while to complete your Adore Layouts and then have a go at this one... woot woot.

so anyho.. insert warning.. RAMBLINGS about to happen..

so yesterdays sunday session i said that i wasted the day.and i did.. but whilst doing all the wasting my head was thinking and going over everything a million times as it does.. and i have come to the conclusion that somedays i wish no WANT my brain just to switch off.. just take things as they are or were i suppose.. just to stop disecting every single little thing that is goin on in my life..just to shut the freak up really..... do you feel like that as well or is it just a Random Lj thing.. coz i'm not sure if i can cope with random lj crap all the time.. i 've had enough.. ENOUGH already.....i think that i suppose i am way too hard on myself and i am trying to take myself alittle less serious.. i'm trying to be alittle more fun..but honestly i think i suck at fun.. i think i just suck at alot of things.. yep see my crappy arse head is thinking again.. no i dont suck.. i have some good qualities.. i can make other people laugh, i can create some things, i can try.. yep thats it i CAN try and think of myself alittle more highly.. i CAN honestly .. i think anyho. so thats what i'm goin to do.. stop thinking about everything and just TRY and stay ... was goin to say happy but what the freak is happy.. its just some lame arse emotion that we try and tell ourselves is worth it..but its not... i think that happiness is so far up on this freaking pedestal that is so hard to reach.. i think we need to bring it down alittle bit..just maybe content.. just content to let things be.. to not have to have this constant need to be HAPPY all of the time..coz that is too hard.. its just too HARD..... ffffaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrkkk...... well happy monday to me.. i woke up thinking today is going to be a positive day..its a new day.. its goin to be a good day..but alittle while in..and i'm struggling.. and now that i've brought everyone else down to my level i should really stop rambling and just get on with things... its going to be a good good day....

told you to look away at the start of the rambling so maybe you should've just looked away.. {ps.. that is definately a line from Bridesmaids ..that show is so freaking funny.. i love it..}

ok.. happy days to everyone.. and i'll be back during the week no doubt...

well it is sunday so its a SUNDAY sesh....

2011-11-20T16:48:00.004+10:00

well i just wasted a day how about you... well went out last night home at 5.. so instead of goin to bed i cleaned.. {open house today.. absolutely freaking dismal result today.. NO ONE through..thats right not one single freaking person..} so after 3 weeks i am reducing the price.. there is no interest so i figure i need to create some..so fingers crossed NOW.. seriously crossed..toes even.. oh crap sorry sidetracked... anyho... cleaned... went and did grocery shopping..home to take Milo the dog away for the open so sat in the park with the sun + cold drink + Frankie..so that was super.. then home for lunch..and THEN i napped... 3 hours in fact.. what a waste of a day.. so thats it..... definately back into hibernation for me.. i am not goin anywhere for a while... just me and my internet friends i think... so sorry in advance to all my facebook friends..be warned.. there WILL be an abundance of crappy meaningless facebook status update... {SO THERE....}... ok..so now onto the reason you have all joined me.. the one and only.. {well not really has started to become a tradition....
SUNDAY SESH.......

helloo.. i'm back... i just wanted to share a layout that i created for Scrapboxx for our manufacture/product watch.... and i chose to highlight the Pink Paislee Mistables series of stuff... {Plus i cheated alittle bit and added some other gear.. you know me, i seriously struggle with using one collection/brand on a layout.. i know my bad...}
so this is what i created..
"I Love You"
and some closies....

i made the flower by misting a strip of the medium sized scollop strips with two different colour glimmermists and then did the whole pull the ends together with thread to create a flower.. added one of the fuzzy vinyl stickers and a button..sweet hey..PS the butterfly is from Clear Cut Crafts......... AND then...

some more scollops... 1 strip glimmered and the other left raw and then drew with pen to create an outline..
and there.. can you see the mask.... the black bit.. hang on .. maybe scroll back up the top and have a closer look.. but i first up misted the mack black through the middle..and then stuck the fuzzy vinyl tree on there and it was just alittle white.. so i just squirted some yellow for alittle extra zing.....

and yep.. i've done the whole tear thingy again... i know ..and whoops..but if at first you dont succeed try try again..lol...

so anyho... happy thursday to everyone.. what you up to for the weekend...?????

anyho.. enough about me...and on to the real reason we are here tonight..well.. its a new fortnight.... so its a new word..and the word is................ADORE.. i know sweet hey.. well.. Ivy was my obvious choice for this coz she is so cute.... LOL..but you know me i just couldnt go with the obvious..so... i did a layout of Tarj...
"i Adore"

there is my twine or ribbon.. and a ScrapMatts Frame... alittle simple stories alphas..
YUMM... i knew when i saw the inspiration that i HAD to use one of my Clear Cuts Butterflies.. which also reminded me of HOW i really NEED to order some more... eeekk......
and then some playing for the background with Texture paste that i stamped the heart in.. waited and waited for it to dry and then coloured and drew around and then finished with the liquid pearls.. [wouldve sewed but its WAY too thick for the sewing machine...]

NOW...

ok... so your still here.. well i've put the house on the market.. yep i'm selling up and movin onto NEW and exciting pastures.. well maybe not superbly lushious and green but pastures non the less... and in my cleaning spree i have been thinking.. thinking about a house i want to rent.. and how the ONE must is that it has a making room or just some where... i have the need to create.. and i'm not just talking about scrapping.. you see i mindlessly spent 2 years doin a visual arts course..yeah sure it was coz i didnt want to study i just wanted to waste my brain.. do something mind numbing where i dont have to think just do... and now that feeling has been starting to come back to me.. you see...during my course on of the things i really really loved was Life drawing..yep.. LIFE drawing.. having a model come in where i can pick apart part of their body .. and feel free to do what i pleased with it.... i love that.. but i can tell you that at the start it really really wasnt like that.. you see i was a very...... well........ umm not sure how to say it but.. probably naive no no no not naive but not ..well travelled.. putting it nicely..as a matter of fact i havent even been anywhere.. {ps this is in code so yeah read into it..}...yep i hadnt even left the block.. i wasnt the person people wanted so i was just me.. and then to be thrown into a world of ART where life in all its forms is embraced even worshipped was a REAL learning curve for me..but in the end was something that i liked the most.. anyho. to cut a long story short i think i might go back in the new year and do a couple life drawing courses.. mmm something to think about .but in the mean time i think i might just have to find me some pencils or even a canvas or two and start to do ..well just stuff..i remember what it felt like to create.. to draw or paint or my favourite to PRINT something that i liked.. what i felt like doing.. i must admit i'm no where near being a good artist or even an mediocure one.. but i dont care. i think i just want to be able to do again.. anyho thats my rant.. over said its out there.. now to see if i actually do anything in the new year.. fingers crossed that this house sells quickly and i can get onto things that i want.. {i'm still deciding exactly what i want ... but you know what i mean}.. anyho....i'll leave with this.. he is currently hangin in my bedroom.. {opposite a female form..but i wont show that one..contains nudity..lol..]

so there you have it.. oh and if you've managed NOT to fall asleep during this rant..please feel free to leave me a comment.. lol.. PLEASE.. okay then.. bye...

a SHARE.. well a new word... and some stuff....

2011-10-24T21:37:00.003+10:00

welcome welcome welcome.. {esp ZINGA....}
just another sunday sEsh for you all......
sorry i've missed a couple of sesh{es}.. so sorry but you know when your feeling alittle down you just cant be bothered... well usually i BOTHER.. i'm the one who goes out of my way to make others feel great or good..or just make them smile....
and well the last couple of weeks i just COULDNT be well... {{insert a 6 letter word beginning with F..and ending in ED... }} yep i think you get the message...
but today i had alittle but much needed cry.. and just to mask how i was feeling so that no-one would notice.. i watched "Seven Pounds" with Will Smith.. and holy crap you could definately say that i needed a few tissues..if you havent seen it then watch it.. {but hint.. actually watch, really watch the start... } anyho.. so cry over and then i had a rest... needed it.. although last night was an early one ..snuck out and home in bed by 12:30.. was out end of season trophy night.. so i got to get dressed up.. yep a DRESS even..hehehe..oh but the theme was black and white {semi-formal}.. i had trouble..needed colour so i added these....
yep i FINALLY wore them.. and they were so coolio... was definately the hottest shoes there.. hehhehehe....so anyho.. i went home early ... was feeling in the mood not to talk to anyone..well not really in the mood but i have trouble talking to people.. i actually said that to someone last night and they were.. you talk to people all the time at work..its what you do.. you talk and sell stuff... AND yeah granted i do.. but as i also said then was .. i can do that because i know that for the most part i dont or wont have to see them again so it doesnt matter..but when i go to talk to people i dont know or only know alittle well... i just cant... i really really STUGGLE.. so this got me thinking [yep i do that too much as well] if i cant talk to people then i really am goin to be alone for the rest of my life.. i'm sure people think i'm rude but i'm not.. i'm just boring and CANT do it... trust me i am boring... seriously.. have you not read my blogs.. i am boring.... see you are goin to sleep reading this............ dont lie i know you are so.. WAKE UP JEFF...hehehehheee..
ok.. seriously what am i goin to do.. so what i've decided since going out isnt working... i'm just goin to hibernate.. and only go out very rarely... {cept have special people on 11 NOv so will be goin then..}.. so no more if people text "Drinks" i'll be saying no thanks.... i need to start getting myself in order.. so i ran again today..havent been able to since i hurt my knee at indoor soccer a few weeks ago and you know what it felt good.. so i AM getting up and goin of a morning again.. i dont care if its just me and Milo {dog}.. i am goin to do it...i'm goin to try and get myself right.. i need to pull myself out of MY hole that i have dug and am hiding in right now.. even though i have said i'm hibernating i will be digging... so not really hibernating but you know..not goin OUT there but diggin in wards to find something.. some spark..thats it i've lost some SPARK.. so if you've seen it please return it ASAP......

ok enough crap from me ... and let the good times begin......
just stumbled on this... its ... wait for it...
T-PAIN.... yep T-PAIN.. but trust me listen to it....

and then.. Eliza Doolittle

now this one..Bombay Bicyle club... you dont neccessary have to listen {but try}
WATCH the video.. these people.. i want to be one of them when i grow up..

{{PS.. i facebooked anothery of their songs.. GLORIOUS..and yep i am about to leave this once i've finished this post to purchase their cd from iTUNES.. Bombay bicycle club - A different kind of fix}..

oh and i've been doing stuff....

{PS,, definately NOT THE SAME PAGE here. its two..lol..}
so been needing to use that part of my brain.. right now its screaming to be used..might have to get myself some canvases.. i think i need to play..... let that part be free....... in more ways than scrapping.. i have been feeling the NEED to visit some galleries..but i just havent.. but i think its time i started to go again just so i can sit and be... well.. wherever it takes me..
so enough said for tonight.. bye.
and thanks for your love ..... happy days to you all....

STuff,,......

Question???

2011-09-25T21:02:00.003+10:00

okay..so i have a question.. not really a bigggy but an important one none the less..
so what do you say.. is it.. Sunday Sess... Sunday Sessh... or Sunday Sesh... for the traditional but ultimately very RARE sunday session .. you know..hangin at the pub havin a couple of drinks and a few laughs with friends... sometimes {depending on the type of establishment} some light entertainment from a live band...
well i went today.. we had lunch .. had a couple of drinks..and then went to a friends for alittle while.. {then BB and I went home..the others were heading off out to another watering hole again.. but i can tell you this water jug had had enough.any more and i would've been asleep.. }.. now how freaking sad is that..lol..
oh and have to tell you funny story.. just happens to me...
anyho. Picture this..
we.. {thats me and the girls} were in the line to order our above mentioned lunch all just talking about randomness as you do..and then out of the middle of NO WHERE it comes flying for my head.. lucky for my super sonic reflexes .. i manage to throw an arm up and bat away this super villian who was trying to hit me in the head... but alas due to everyones dismay i managed to save my self.. although there was a couple of FALCONS said out loud..but i repeat the object DID NOT hit me in the head.... now i know your all thinking it.... what the freak was it.... well it was.........................
a SHOE.. yep... A BLACK SHOE... apparently a young girl in the line decided to do some dancing and kicked off her shoe.. but as you have read.. i managed save myself from getting hit in the face by a runaway shoe.... {ps.. she was only young.. and i didnt say anything... coz her mother was quite angry.. and went... GET IN THERE AND SIT DOWN .... NOW.....}....
so there you have it.. anything exciting happen to you today....????
ok so i know you want the songs... so heres a couple....
you know i like the classics........

and for something alittle different...

really wanted to show you this..... but its embeded code has been removed...so go here to watch...

now this is gorgeous.. i have a couple of her cds...

and then.. HOLY MOLEY...
some shares......

so thats it from me my friends... i'll talk soon. . like tomorrow probably..hehehee.

hope you are enjoying my sunday treats.. please if you dont feel like them anymore please leave me a comment...

CHEERS.........

LOVE this photo of Ivy.. she has been spending alot of time in my bed..starts in her own and then wanders in.. well YAY for me at least i have someone to share my bed with..lol... and in winter its not too bad. this particular night she came in REAL early... Early enough that i wasnt even asleep yet..just layin there reading...lol.. so i just HAD to take a photo of her..i used my Leme camera on my iPhone.. LOVE that.........
Closies...
kept this one really simple....

i really liked how i used the Crate frame to frame a part of the pp diecut.. i was impressed with myself.. it looks good..

anyho. on ONE last night i want your opinion.. I've well been checking out this guy.. not sure how i feel..but was wondering if you think in this day and age its okay to ask them out?? or should i just wait and see... oh i dont know.. i hardly know him..but he is REALLY funny... oh and YEP have been goin out abit ... LOVE it..but then feel alittle disappointed when i get home and yet another NOTHING.. no hellos.. well anyho..
my MOJO is on a break at the moment.. i HATE that... really HATE that.. hence those Facebook friends amongst you know that i have been seriously bored and updating with random crap ALL the time.. heheheh.. suckers..... and Nope my dress hasnt arrived yet so i cant say if it fits or not..... so until then .. BYE for now.... oh and guess what i did the other day. we played soccer on the saturday night and then went out afterwards..got home at 2.30 up at 7.30 and felt really good.. was a GLORIOUS day.. sun was out and was warm so i thought bugger IT.... so i went and go myself a mag, a bottle of coke and a HUGE packet of tomato sauce chips {{i know ..NOT good for that DRESS..lol}}...... and then i went and found a random game of soccer and laid in the sun for a few hours and read my mag and watched soccer.. {PS previous mentioned male was playing... } anyho. it was glorious... oh and i thought to myself that if i went and laid at somewhere like soccer i wouldnt look like such a dick for being a NIGEL.. it was ok.. sun was good but in the end YEP i seriously DID feel like Nigel..but anyho. enough of my ramblings..
i'll see you all again soon no doubt.. happy days.. oh and DONT forget to head on over to Bird to check it out.. i personally would LOVE to win one of the TIDBITS IN TIME kits..they are amazing.....

AUssie .. AUssie..AUssie.. its SCRAPMATTS day today..and the theme can you GUESS????? yep AUstraliana... i seriously went EEEEKKKKKKKKK at this one..but then i thought about it and BB reminded me of some photos i had..so....
"Lest We Forget"
some closies...
the frame is.. cb 50559 Hanging Frame.. i just drew around the edges and added alittle ink to the chain.. simple...

and i used the insert of the frame for my journalling block..and added soem cb5057 Floral Designs for some flourish highlights...
and then
"Aussie Icon"
had a play with this..
closies...
again with cb 1122 hanging frames but this time the mini ones and i left them RAW...

and i had a play with their NEW cb5069 Australian Federation doors.. really ruffed them up and added some OLD fly wire for effect.. same thing done with the fence.. looks so grundgy and coolio.. so here is where i insert that i had a crap scrapmatts time this time.. it has NOTHING to do with the AMAZING products..it was just me over thinking and then i ended up with these simple and quite PLAIN jane work.. apologies for that....

well lookie here.. i've created.. i started this one today and it was looking like well... burnt toast.. really burnt toast.. so i had a nanna nap..it was that frustrating....
and den i came out and grabbed my big tub of flowers etc and just pulled a packet out and then stuck something somewhere.. ahhh problem solvered....lol
the challenge i was doin this for is one that BB set.. this is it.. "my challenge to you is to scrap about being UNDER THE WEATHER - how it changes things for you, what you most like as a comfort, whether it happens often or rarely .. anything you feel that is realted to this..."
and i'm sure if your a follower you've noticed the crapness of my feelings lately.. so this is about starting to CHANGE a few things...
"get Happy"
i did actually think about calling it.. SHUFFLIN...coz you know that is my fav {And a few others i've noticed..ps..Crystal}}.. but i went with get happy...
closies....
oh... ps if you see something you gave me THANKS.. its all in this big box of stuff..so i pulled heaps of randomness out for this one...yay... and Cathy..yep i've used one of your folders..you are WAY too nice... thanks...
and YEP..i just had to use the photos with BB in there.. since she is all about helping me feel so much better..somedays i just dont know what i'd do without her right now...

rambling...

2011-06-30T22:35:00.002+10:00

everyday i'm shuffling... so yep..thats about me at the moment.. just Shufflin..think i want to run but not sure..?? do you ever feel that way when your just shufflin through and just accepting things as they are.. ?? or as they should be?? and just well... staying the same.. i have just watched 500 days of summer.. i really liked it.. but got me to thinking.. am i shuffling,, ????

and to add to that.. OMG if you've seen the show you will understand that he has this HUGE wall of chalkboard.. I WANT THAT.. i love drawing on chalkboard.. if you make a mistake you just erase it an start again.. simple.. draw, write . ERASE.....

or maybe instead of shufflin i need to erase.. nope .. never look back in regret..so i'm not erasing..
i think starting soon.. LOL.. real soon... hopefully.. i'll start shufflin alittle quicker..
starting this weekend.. i'm off out.. and instead of caring if someone sees me havin a good time i'm goin to go out and have a darn tootin fantastic time..and enjoy those who enjoy being around me.. sometimes.. i think i THINK way too much.. you see my head rarely stops.. i just think.. about everything.. what will they say, how will i feel, is that the right thing to do.. usually i'm too busy thinking about others and how they are that i forget me..
so i might just have to shuffle along......

dont forget PLAY it LOUD... lol.
so thats enough of me rambling.. sometimes i just have to say what is in my head..and well this is MY blog afterall..and i am sure that there is only a few peeps who actually read this..so sorry..but i AM okay... and i will be back creatively soon..
thanks again...
