Well hello hello, almost three years since I've used my blog, and I must admit, not very much scrapping either..... But I have been inspired by a new challenge blog that Scraphappy introduced me to and I would love to get the mojo back that's been hiding for years.so here is my entry for the February Mango Breeze challenge that you can check out here (Hope the link works, I'm like a learner again)

Wow, got on a bit of a roll over Easter.....loads of inspiration from Emmas new PAGEDRAFTS site. Click on the name to go have a looksie.....gorgeous lady I had the pleasure of meeting at a retreat and SOOO VERY CLEVER!! Rearranged my scrap room last night, almost finished and should head back there now and finish it off.....much more pleasant to the eye to walk past and see the spare bed made up instead of my scrap desk....it now hides behind the door!! If I get it finished before I ' çrash n burn' then I'll have a go at Scraphappys Spotty Friday night challenge...
Thanks for stopping by.....Cheers.....Pauly xx

FNC & ....

Cody riding without training wheels on Saturday...he came up to the workshop Saturday morning needing poppy to put some air in his tyres, then we had to coax him to show us how he can ride like a big boy...once he got going (thinking Shaz was holding his seat) there was no stopping him!! Grinning from ear to ear. Threw a big tanty when he had to put the bike away when Shaz had to go to work!! Anyways I done this page for Scraphappys FNC. We were to use paint colours being black, white and grey with a touch of one other colour. So I slapped some black paint on and then dipped a matchbox in white paint to do the brickwork.....had a bit of fun playing with paint.



Woohoo, two layouts in one weekend!!! Did this one for baby girls album, its her birthday soon and I was gonna try and have a album with a page a month since birth.......hmmmm its only got four in it!!! Okay maybe it might be a bit late..........

Lovin my new job and can't wait to give these early early mornings away!! Off tomorrow to Melbourne for the night to see the sequel to 'Phantom of the opera' compliments of one of our tyre suppliers...including preshow cocktails and canapes, night at the Novetel on Collins and full cooked buffet brekkie....BRING IT ON!!! Best be out of here and get redy for round three in the workforce....Thanks for popping by   Pauly xxx

 Hi there everyone, I didn't realise it has been this long between posts! Stacks has been happening....son and girlfriend split after 3.5 years, got a new office at the workshop (home is now HOME!! and lovin it) 16 yo daughter moved out, I finished one job and started another, been to the retreat (had a ball, met some more lovely peoples and caught up with some others I have met before). Rearranged our home as we all of a sudden have all this room we never had before and I now have a scrappin room!! I havent had time to actually scrap in it, but hopefully soon as its almost set up, just gotta go find Mr Mojo!! Got five pages done at the retreat, pretty amazing for me lately!! Still have kept up with my ATC's tho, they seem so much easier than tryin to do a page.... Lovin my new job at the Post Office..training was complete" brain strain" to start with but its slowly getting easier..... . Quick update to let you know I'm still kickin, as its way past my bedtime! Thanks for popping in...catch ya soonish (I hope) Pauly xxx
