Ive had a fantastic day today - I caught up with Vita for a coffee (she makes the PERFECT coffee) and dropped off her Stampin' Up! order...We had a great chit chat...and Riley showed me all his Thomas trains - he knows every single name....very cool!
Im now supposed to be getting ready for our trip up to Berri in SA - I have washing drying everywhere and a Stampin' Up workshop to pack (from Lorrie's workshop) So im literally running around with my head cut off....and then of course i got side-tracked and decided to post here on my blog...lol (nothing like avoiding what HAS to be done...lol)
We are all so excited about going...Lauchie cant wait to see his Grandparents and his new cousin, and Dale and I are really looking forward to it too...
I have also organised to meet up with the lovely Belinda and Mardi from Riverland Scrapbook Supplies, so im really excited about that. I was fortunate enough to meet Mardi last year...but Belinda was in the last stages of pregnancy, so we didnt get to catch up....so this time around i get to catch up with both the girls....seriously cant wait....

well thats it from me now...I SERIOUSLY have to get my BUTT into gear
Have a great weekend - catch you next week!

a few more LO's...............

Tomorrow night i have a Stampin' Up! Workshop - so im busy prepping for that!

I decided to enter a LO for this months Sketch on Sketches Oz
I just loved Kim's Sketch....and just wanted to really reprisent that in my LO (not changing a whole lot) and to keep the photos the main focus....

Materials: CI Narratives paper, MM chipboard letters (swing), jewellery tag, diamonte brad, Stampin' Up Label Classics stamps, MM tab letters.

and this
Is a LO i did on Wednesday at Sally's house (we have a weekly Scrap-to-gether). I dont normally do Double's.....but my trip to Sydney (last year) involved lots of picture taking....so the end result - a double....lol!
Oh and I must say a HUGE HELLO! to.........Sally, Suzie, Karen and Vita - Hi girls....I love our Wednesday Scrap-to-gethers!

Materials: bazzill CS, 7 gypsies travel stickers, mix of chipboard letters (sydney), EK travel paper, karen foster big brads, foam letters.

I think i still need to add a bit of journalling to this LO...it still needs something else...im not sure though!!!!

anyways
bye for now.....

Backyard BLITZ...................

Sorry.......havnt gotten around to scanning and uploading my Card samples...but i will as soon as DH gets off the computer that is linked to the scannner...LOL!

But so you've got something to LOOK at - I will share some photos of our backyard makeover - we are 'eventually' going to install fake grass - and then everything Garden wise will be COMPLETE (hopefully)


I should have taken a photo before this one - this whole section was covered in WEEDS....lol!
Oh and can you see our "Neighbours Be Gone (trees) they are growing quite nicely.....


Crushed Rock over the dirt....and look at DH...working hard...(while i take pics..hehehe)


DH thinks this will be the spot for the HOT TUB.....I'm actually thinking a nice planter Urn on a pedestal would look really nice (all paved)...what do you guys think????


All ready for the sand....and then ROLL on the Fake turf............
