Off We Go Again

Back up to Newcastle tomorrow as my Grandma passed away on Saturday. She had a stroke a few months ago and went down hill rapidly over the last couple of weeks (perhaps another stroke?) My mum has been by her bedside (with my Auntie) since Thursday so I'm hanging out to give her a cuddle.

I found out she had passed away whilst I was on the Scrappe Angels Heaven retreat so that was a downer but the girls were amazing and looked after me so well!! I got some gorgeous pages done and will hopefully get a chance to upload them when I get back next week

Here comes the "inner thin"

Cute Little Tins

I saw these decorated and filled tins here and just had to give them a try.

they are filled from the bottom and then resealed with glossy accents/dimentional magic and then decorated. When my friend opens hers today I'll try and get a pic of the insides.

Click N Scrap - New Shop and Cheap Stuff

I stumbled upon this today - they seem to have some great sale stuff!! Check it out

Cyber Cropping

Scrap Therapy had a CC this weekend and I also went to a Craft Kids demo and managed to get a page done there too :)

So busy all of the time!!!

It's just been crazy around here at the moment - every day seems busier than the last and as such I feel like my organised eating had gone out the window luckily the scales were forgiving (total to date 20.8kgs) but Carmel gave me the talking to I needed so no more subway for me for a while.

I did manage to get a couple of pages done for some challenges at LSBS. I think I might have to make the time to stay back after work and do some crops/classes to force me to sit down!! Once a month we will be having a staff meeting before a friday night crop so that will be cool to stay back after that - might have to try and talk the Werribee and Lara chicks into coming too!!

So, It's Official

I GOT THE JOB

Woohoo I start working at my local scrapping shop next week. YAY for me ;)

Inside every fat person...........

Is a thin person busting to get out.................. here comes my "inner thin person"

Wall Hanging and a few cards

This is for my friends Housewarming party ;)

and who would have though 2 pieces of bazzil and one piece of DCWV PP could create these cute cards

A few new things

We've been so busy lately but I have managed to squeeze in a little scrapping...

I thought I'd be spared by this until I read Relsi's Blog LOL

Name three things that scare you ......... drunk drivers, George W Bush and my weight loss woman.

The daggiest thing in your music collection.... according to paul probably Dean Martin

Your three favourite clothing items........ Jeans, Tshirts, thongs

Your partners most annoying habit.....Oh he has soooooooo many but the most annoying Hmmmmm probably when he gets Bennett undressed for the bath or bed he leaves B's clothes where they come off. Ive started to just get over that though and put them in the laundry myself.

What stresses you out.... Bennett being slow when we need to be somewhere LOL

Your favourite household chore…What the? I don't mind putting the dirty washing in the machine.

If you had fifty bucks to spend at Target which section would you head straight for….. I'm a tighta$$ so I'd browse the whole store first and buy a whole heap of reduced stuff

In my next life I would like to come back as… Tyra Banks or Oprah

Your least favourite celebrity… Tom Hanks

I tag......... Wirg Missty and Jas

I have been scrapping, just not blogging!!!
