Hello again Sweet Bloggers,

Well not much happening with me. I have Seth home with a chest infection and Nash just got over it. I think Caleb is already starting to get it but hopefully he will hang out a few more days til the holidays.... lol I wish!!!

Well I must admit i've been sucked in with Facebook. It is so cool to catch up with old friends and see where they are now. Some of them I haven't seen in 20+ years!! ...just quietly i think im addicted to updating my status lol.

My web design website is taking off. I have clients booked for the next 6 -8 weeks. That makes me happy!!!

Lastly here are some things I made on Sunday. LO is of Jake and my niece and nephew on Jakes 18th birthday. I absolutely love this photo!!

I actually pulled my EK Success Retro punches out for this LO.

This is just a card i slapped together.


Thanks for popping by and leaving a comment :)
Have a beautiful day folks xx

Hello sweet bloggers,

Well today is a Lazy Sunday for me. Maybe a little food shopping later on but today is all about me and my new scrap supplies getting to know each other haha.

I was lucky enough to meet up with the beautiful Rachel from Ready Set Scrap yesterday at the Paperific Show in Melbourne. We spent a few hours browsing, buying and had some lunch in between.

Yummy yum yum...this is what I got.....

I must admit I was a little disappointed that there weren't many stalls there. Most were card making. I didn't buy anything I was hoping to see. Never mind im still happy with my new loot!!

I have some Layouts to show but need to get some pics. Will post them later on...

Have a lovely, lazy Sunday ladies xx

Here are some LO's and Cards I've made in the last few days for various Challenge sites on the net. My mojo is homeless atm, can only let him bludge off me for so long. I have him working overtime to prove himself. Seems to be working....

I tend to Scrap pics of Nash the most. Jake has left home, the twins don't do pics coz of their Autism, they like to look in the back of the camera, not the front....and Nash is home all day for me to chase around with the camera.

They all have the same amount of pages tho. The older 3 already had a few albums each before Nash was even born.

Hello sweet bloggers,

Well a lot has happened the last few days. I have officially resigned as owner of my baby website Ready, Set, Scrap! My time running it has come to an end and I'm moving on to more exciting things.

I have handed her over to Nat Williams and Tracey Hunter. Two ladies whom I adore with all my being. Nat can run the site as good as me and Tracey is fast learning. I wish them both heaps of success as I know how much more potential RSS has in her.

I am going to pursue my designing career in full force now....it's my true passion. It's where I can let my creativity really run loose. I am currently digi designing a gorgeous Princess Mega Kit and hope to bring you a sneak Peek within the next day or so. I am also drawing my many of my own illustrations now. I

hope to one day get them on istockphoto and i'm plan on building another cool site to showcase my Digi Designs. I really want to make my mark as a designer.
