Monday a new chapter begins

Well made the sad decision of stepping down as a DT on Artistic document last night, so now not sure what I will do with my days, it's kind of weird I've been on the DT for so long now and the girls were like the family I never really had, I sure will miss you girls, so if your stopping by my blog say hello...

I guess now I can focus on my scrapping, enter challenges and do cybercrops and become a little more outgoing, focus on new techniques and I guess just play with my art ,no more being computer tied to the chair which has been one of my biggest and worst habits, hubby has so not been impressed with all the time I spend on the computer...

To all the girls who emailed me and left me some love just want to say thankyou I've enjoyed the time I have spent with you all, and don't worry I can still crack that blog whip so keep updating your blog lol because I will be so stalking you all.....
Just a short post but don't worry I'll be back as soon as I kick my butt into gear and work on a few layouts, my mind is brimming with ideas now I just need to bring them to life........

A little bit of this a little bit of that

Yay it's Monday kids are back at school and I have the house too myself, while kind of I have Drew and Max at home but at least they take naps during the day.....
Had a lovely day yesterday even though the weather was feral, had a visit from fellow DT Ann and her hubby so the kids and I had a lovely arvo with them, my god the kids just love to show off and have officially adopted them both as fill in Grandparents.... It's really nice to see them have some kind of relationship as they never met their grandfather's on either end ....
Well this morning I have been creating I started doing my altered valentines day swap for ART today it all fell into place I was in the middle of doing one but it wasn't coming together the way I planned so I ripped it all off and started again this is the finished little box...
I had fun creating this one my big prima flower I have kind of made the cream lace at the bottom into a heart kind of shape....
Well I've got a February's challenge to plan for our next cybercrop at ARTISTIC next week so need to get started on that, and then start working out what I need for the crop after that one, and then April's crop hmmmm has me scared lots and lots of planning will have to go into that one...

Saturdays ramblings and a christmas stocking

en I woke up this morning and looked out the window the sun was shining and there were blue skies as far as one could see, when I ended up stepping outside the door it ended up being so muggy and hot so not a nice feeling, very typical of Darwin weather, hey I left that all behind I think it's followed me here....
I've had three hours of skating and my god all that noise and flashing disco lights have just done my head in, but at least Daunte didn't take too many falls onto the floor I can really say he is getting better with each lesson that he goes too...
Had to pop into my local scrapping store to hunt for some pink glimmermist so I hope the one I got is the actual one I want as there a few pinks out there and it was trying to decide which one to get, okay so I'm not much of a tool junkie my poor big shot that of course I had to have last year has really seen the light of day but I spotted some of the new cuttlebug embossing folder's and loved the new script one so decided to get that one today didn't spend too much as I was saving my spending for another shabby suitcase from the florist which is pretty much next door.....

These are the ones I got on Thursday when I was supposed to be grocery shopping and the other one is the one I picked up today and which I so love.

Well just a short post as I have so many things that I want and need to do I've made a start on some ATC's, I'm in the process of making a brought frame all shabby, and I need to get working on my Feb cyber challenge for ARTISTIC document so gotta love ya and leave you....
Okay thought I would update this post instead of start another new one, just finished making this little ornament/wall hanging for christmas at ARTISTIC this year we are trying to motivate the girls to do an ornament a month for this year's christmas tree so I have done this one.....
And last night I started and finished my March challenge for ARTISTIC gosh I'm so organized I can't believe it, so here is a little sneaky peek at it. I really loved doing this one, something new and a little bit different.
WEll its Sunday morning and it's raining like mad with alot of thunder so it's an inside day today perfect time to get the kids cleaning their rooms, do that baking and maybe having an unexpected visitor dropping in later would make it the ideal day.......

Nature walk with my boys

It's actually been such a nice day today, the sun was shining but not too brightly as too be too hot, so decided as soon as we dropped the others at school to take a walk to the park and take some photo's of the view...
To Max and Drew's delight they spotted another caterpillar and this time had my camera ready so we could get a photo of it, of course they wanted to take it home but after the other one dying the next day said no were leaving it behind.....
Here are my two little rascals having a quick hug and who got himself up the tree and of course couldn't get down yip it was Drew not looking too impressed at all. Of course Max had to have a go as well....
Now as we walked back toward's home we took the long walk home probably adds another 1.5km onto the total distance we spotted a lizard sunning himself on the rocks just over the bridge we were standing on.
Max is fascinated with nature at the moment so I took pictures of trees and seeds and we even spotted a tadpole or two in a puddle we had to cross over....

Love knowing that I can just take a little walk and I'm immediately surrounded by nature its a beautiful day....

But I have to say we both know what we want for Valentines day this year, thankfully Ann's hubby's was having a look around the shops while we were in the scrapping store and came across a Florist, well in the store window there was a display of Paris inspired artwork and oh my gosh both of us wanted everything on display....
From a large metal Eiffel tower to gorgeous paintings of the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower there was also some Paris shabby suitcases my god we were both in heaven and have both told our hubby's this is what's on our Valentines day lists for this year...
