 Sneak peeks of my 2  layouts  for Kathies next week......

 Retro ATC for ScrapNArt swap for October

Cutlery ATC for Family & Friends swap for October

Wow, I finally got some scrappin done this weekend!! Done my two layouts for my next class at Kathies and another one of Emma just because. Got the two ATC's done through the week also. Friday night some germ overtook my body and had me in bed before 8.30pm, felt like throwing  up and I haven't done that since I was a little tacka! Slept 12 hours and woke up feeling a bit better. Got my accounts done, went to work for a few hours and came home to help Rob clean up the BBQ and made a new area to set it up. We have set up in the spare carport, which is good as its protected from the wind, has lights and power for music, theres a phone in the shed. So the plan is to use the BBQ this year (as it didn't get used the whole of last summer!!)

Then of course we had to test it out for tea!! This morning I got up, scrapped two pages, made lunch and Rob and I went to see Tomorrow the war begins at the local cinema...good movie apart from the ending! Then went and had coffee and now he's watching a movie and I'm playing on my computer! Thats our weekend wrapped up. Might just head back to the scrap table and get my final ATCs for October done with the theme 'Weddings'. Thanks for stopping by.....Pauly xxxx

Lexies Class.....ATC and pics

 Used Postage Stamp ATC for Born 2 Create October swap

 My first visit to Puffing Billy on Sunday.....

My first ever time The Police have pulled us up on our bikes....(actually, we had already pulled in and parked when they came over to do a licence and rego check) All was good but.

The layouts up top are from Lexies class at Scraphappys last Friday night. The ATC is for a swap at Born 2 Create for October. Sunday the weather was MAGIC so we decided to take a ride down to Belgrave cos I'd never seen Puffing Billy before and it seemed like we hadn't ridden since 'forever ago'. It was a awesome ride down and guess what....I still havent seen Puffing Billy! We just missed the 12.30 ride and the next one wasn't until 2.30 and it would have been 4.30 before we could head home again, which we decided would've been too late. So if we did it again we'd get there a bit earlier....oh well! Had a awesome ride through the Black Spur on the way home (I'd only ever done that once before when the weather was wet and miserable) and got to about 30km out of Alexandra and my butt started to HURT and my back too. Wasn't much fun anymore! So Rob and I swapped bikes and I rode his big armchair for a while which was wicked!! Rob was pretty happy to get his bike back at Bonnie Doon!!! Anyways, enough rambling for now as my eyelids are getting really heavy!! Night all...Pauly xxx

Finally!!

Finally something to show!! Got these two done (over time) one for me and one for our new little Emmas album....now I just gotta pick which one to keep for myself!! MMMM, I like them both.....
Not a lot been happening here apart from working, working and working!! Our worker is back from a month off, so hopefully the pressure will ease a little! Now I best be off to cook tea and hoping to tackle Octobers ATC's after tea....Cheerio....Pauly xx
PS...These two take my 2010 tally to 99 - 1 more for a century!!!

OMG...a layout!! 2 ATC's and CONGRATS!!!

YAY Krystal....well done!! 7th out of 1370 students across Australia and New Zealand!!!!

Train ATC for Scraphappys swap

Spring ATC for Family/Friends swap

A layout 'just because'......

Been a while since I've produced a layout (apart from classes and retreat!!) Wanted to use my new Tim Holtz cogs! Got Septembers ATC's finished and now thinking about next months!! HUGE CONGRATS to our daughter Krystal for her great work in Indonesian....this snippet was in the school newsletter. Haven't been doing much lately apart from working....except on Saturday I met my Mum and two sisters in Albury for the Paperfair and Scrapbooking Show. Spent a few bucks, got to see most of my family, so that was good. Oops, time to cook tea!! Hope my next post is not as far apart as this one was!!

See Ya Pauly xx

Couple of ATC's

No scrappin to share this week, had way, way too much on last week and couldn't do any....got these two sets of ATC's done last night. Revolution for Scrap N Arts September swap and the other one is for the 12 days of Xmas over at Born 2 Create....12 people signed up and you had to do twelve of the day you were assigned, then you get the 12 days of Xmas set back, pretty cool hey!

Shaz and Emma got out of hospital again today...(they got out last Friday, but had to go back in for a couple of nights as Emma had jaundice and they put her in the cooker). Best be off to cook tea so I'm all ready to watch X-Factor. GO TJ!!! (Any one that doesn't know, TJ is a young local boy that has made it into the top 24 of Australia. Tonight we find out if he has made the top 12). WOOHOO....GO TEEJ!!!!!!
