Yes I've been AWOL again

Howdy howdy,


Okay been missing from the blogging scene for over a month, usual things have kept me from scrapping and blogging yes you guessed it little miss princess..... 
This little poppet is mobile now so no place is safe have to watch her like her a hawk, can't believe she is just over 8 months old now, man time is going so quickly as is she......
Finally done a xmas page for the family album starring little Miss, but it took forever getting my groove back but I'm on a mission to make the time to scrap I'm marking free time in my diary to ignore everyone and do some crafting........
Now that hubby is back  from his promotion course yes he was away for Valentines day but surprised me with a new ipad, so now were both figuring out what to get for each other for our 22nd anniversary.

Today he asked me what date our anniversary was on and I said the same day as him, and he said yip I said the same, then I checked our marriage certificate and it was three days earlier........
God the pair of us we sure make a good team lol......
Just started an online Tafe course so got all my learning stuff on Friday, hubby surprised me with a new laptop, and it was the one I wanted with good gaming graphics yes I'm still a gamer....
So have begun to study, first units are all the medical sides of it, so need to pay attention and remember remember remember.......

Now talking of scrapping just got my order from Scrap Therapy just a little bit of this and a little bit of that,

Really love the idea of those wrist bands, but need to be on the look out for more kinds of embellishments so I can begin work on them, has anyone got any of the new Prima yet? I just placed an order this morning I love the look of Natures garden's and the Songbird collection so can't wait for that to arrive so check out Anna's Craft cupboard as it's just gone on the shelves......
So this is my first xmas page for the papers for this album I'm using old 7 Gypsies as I really love that range of colours but I'm using small amounts of the xmas range of Simple stories so a bit of the old and the new.

Well I've been on a roll today and was able to complete 4 more ornaments for my tree, yea hay for me I was actually able to do more than one thing today......

Been hunting down stash to create  an altered baby box for a swap that I'm going to do with a gal pal from the US, Hi Tabitha.......This is what I'm using for it... but will add more when I see pretty things to put on it....
I've also got my swap partner for a mini Christmas swap album that's due out by the 5th of January so going to buy some papers so I can make a start on that one.....
So I'm going to be busy getting these done this month....

And I can officially say I'm addicted to making these ornaments, there so fun to play with....Also I'm back to gaming with a passion hubby spotted me breastfeeding Izzy whilst in a major battle playing War in the North (LOTR) just because I'm feeding dosen't mean I can't play lol.....
Now I'm on the hunt for another game to play just completed Fable 3, now I need something else to play for christmas so yell out any suggestions.....
Well gotta go hubby is working late so gotta get kiddies in line and off to never never land.......

Another xmas ornament for the tree made from a soda can

Hi Everyone, it's a late Saturday arvo for me here in BrisVegas just chilling today have three sick kids so today was a not go out day.... So I thought I would create something for the tree, now my daughter came home with an awesome idea she had made a soda can decoration at school so I thought I would try and and do something in my style......




I got this lovely image from Magic Moonlight's blog, it was in todays post, so I thought I would have a go as the only soda can I could find was a purple fanta one, so I thought I would  make the decoration silver and purple.
Now mine is a hanging kind of ornament you just can't see it from these photo's, it's almost night so it was a pain trying to get a good photo.......
Will be back later on with the next one, just hunting down an image maybe of santa this time.......
Have a great weekend, now I have a crop to attend so gotta find some stuff to make up a xmas vintage tag....
Ciao ladies....
