Weekend of Sickness & Scrapping

OMG, I'm so sick...I have the sorest throat ever, its swollen as and the doctor put me on antibiotics yesterday. I have headaches and I have a mouthful of ulcers...and theres more, I'm falling apart! Basically I'm rundown and need to start taking better care of myself... :(

I was starting to get sick over the weekend but figured if I scrapped and ignored it I would be fine...not so! At least some pages got done though. :) Here they are.

A just because page of Cooper giving Daniel his fathers day present two years ago, so cute.

An old xmas page that I had been putting off (as we do with all xmas photos, eh!). I used a Pagemaps sketch and the brand new Cosmo Cricket Jolly By Golly range that you'll find in the Scrapbook Savvy store.

And another 6x12 page for the holiday albums, loving how quickly this size comes together! Used October Afternoon Road Map for this one, one of my fave ranges at the moment.




And this double of Cooper's 2007 school photos that I've obviously been putting off...have edited for privacy reasons. :)




Hope everyone has a happy Tuesday...mine will be as soon as I can get myself back into bed!

Blind Scrapping @ SFS

If you love blind scrapping and were wondering where you can find a regular place to do this...head on over to Scrapbooking From Scratch! I joined Peta and the girls on Thursday night and LOVED the layout we created, thanks so much Pj for a wonderful night full of laughs and fun and creativity. Mwah!



We had another awesome crop night @ Savvy last night, all booked out once again! I love that I have so much local support and girls travelling from not so close as well. Can't wait for the next one! I only managed one layout which I haven't photographed yet as the weather here today has been very wild and windy, its blowing a gale right now...I think Juzzy will get blown away when she leaves here (which will surely be well after midnight again, hehe!).

Happy Saturday night!! xoxo

The World is Orange!

Well it was this morning when I woke up! After the massive duststorm that swept across NSW, the whole world looked orange and there was a strange feeling across the dawn here.



The wind swept the orange away fairly quickly, but left behind is a dusty cover over everything in sight. The car, the house, the table on the balcony. Now we need a big rain to get rid of it all!

So an inside day was had here, and let me tell you I can't wait for the kids to all go to daycare tomorrow! ;)

Here's the one and only layout I finished at yesterday's crop @ Savvy, my nephew Adam celebrating his 17th birthday earlier this year. He's a bit of a spunk, eh!




Happy hump day...only two more days till the weekend! :)

Happy Scrappy Weekend

Thats what I had here, plenty of time with scrapbooking friends and even a few layouts done! Friday night was crop night @ Scrapbooking Delights and I had a ball. Then Saturday night I was joined by Emma, Deslie & Juzzy for some scrapping here @ Savvy. Two late nights in a row didn't agree too well with me though, and I was shattered by Sunday morning... :)

Here's some of what I did, some I can't show off just yet.

This month's Savvy Scraplift, which was a lift of one of Kayla's amazing pages.


This is a lift of my own layout, as Cooper's teacher asked me to do one for her...


And Me @ Xmas last year, using the gorgeous new Cosmo Cricket Jolly By Golly range.


I had cuddles with my new nephew Spike on Saturday, omg he is just so cute! Here's an updated pic of the gorgeous boy.



Its looking like a lovely day here, playgroup at the park this morning then home to get organised for Savvy Crop tomorrow.

Have a happy Monday!
