Dolls ATC for SCNC

Well, its been a while........Not much on the scrapping front but. Done 2 ATC's (but can only show you one cos I forgot to take a photo before I sent it) and a layout for Kaths January challenge. We went down to Frankston for the weekend just gone, stayed at a motel and did lots of shopping and went to the Frankston Sea Festival. I brought a few butterflies to hang on my house, a few dresses, a top and a OLYMPUS DIGITAL SLR camera!!!! YAY, been 'gunna' for a LONG time, but always didn't cos I didn't know what to look for in a SLR. So with a nice little win and some encouragement from my mother-inlaw (who has the same camera) I finally did it!!!! I havent had time yet to have a play, but will hopefully on the weekend. We seen the sand sculptures at the sea festival, they are amazing!!!! If you ever get the chance to see them, do it!!

Well better be off to do the bookwork I am supposed to be doin!! A week and half to go of my fulltime job and I'll be down to part-time and hopefully I may have a bit of spare time and energy to produce some more scrappin!! YAY!!! (Yes mum, I threw in my job on New Years Day.....but then decided I better not throw all my wages away and decided to stay on part-time....gonna do 6am to 10am Monday to Friday, then I have the other five hours + to concentrate on our business and might get my nights back.....its been two years this month, can't handle it anymore) Okies, cheers now Pauly xx

SCNC Number Challenge

SCNC Colour Challenge.

Heres a good way of seeing how many LO's I do for the year!! Never counted before.... Got two done last night for challenges at Scrap, Chat N challenges, shock, horror!! Had a pretty quiet Saturday....stayed inside in the air con for most of it. Today Rob and I went to Shepparton to buy a lowline TV cabinet but came home without one as the two I liked were out of stock!! Will try down here tomorrow. We both came home with an Apple IPhone but! Didn't cost us anything today, just signed a two year contract with Telsta. We have never gone with anyone else anyway and don't intend on doing so . They also gave us $150 store vouchers which we used on a cover and hands free cradle for the ute. Bargain!! Okies, off to work on a quote challenge or maybe some ATC's??

Have done these over the last couple of weeks....actually got three done this weekend just gone....bit of a record!! Was supposed to go to a Xmas party Saturday night but Rob was too sore. Sunday we were gonna go shopping, but didn't do that either. So had a lot of free time...so I cleaned, slept, caught right up on bookwork and scrapped! Looking VERY forward to 4 days off work and catching up with the family. Haven't been home to NSW all year!! At least I know by being out of town, hubby won't be called into work and will have to rest!!!! Have a fantastic Christmas and New Year break everybody. Be safe!! Bye for Now Love Pauly xx

Pop Art ATC and a photo...

What gorgeous colours I captured in the sky last night...WOW. I am using this photo for the photography challenge at SCC....it was to photograph a tree, preferably at a different angle. The ATC is for a swap at SNA with the theme Pop Art. I googled images for ages trying to get ideas and ended up at 'Piknic'. OMG, I am in love with that site!!! Can't believe how easy it is to use!! Its pouring with rain here and its awesome. Love the sound of the rain on our tin roof (esp. when lying in bed) but I,m hours off bed yet, got a ton of paperwork and being on here blogging is not helping!! Oops! Thanks for stopping by Pauly xx

ATC and Rewind LO and my baby girl!!

This is the second layout I got from the leftovers of Debs Rewind kit. There is still leftovers I could get more from!!

Xmas ATC for a swap at the Challenge Chics.

4th December, very dark hair.......

8th December....Half way to blonde ......

Came home from work yesterday and Krystal left me a note....At hairdressers. She decided she is going blonde...so they lightened her hair and she has to go back on the 23rd to get it blonde. Mmmm, been putting her off for years cos I reckon bleach wrecks ya hair. But little miss is growing up and making her own decisions...I really quite like it and Krystal....well, she LOVES it!! Still, she can't convince me to allow the facial piercings, keep telling her when she is 18, then it will be her choice!! Anyways, Pop Art ATC is calling me...OMG, I found the most awesome site last night for photo editing (LOL, yes, I am probably way behind the times!!) If you haven't checked out 'Picnik'....do it now!!! I can't believe how easy it is to use!! PS. I look pretty trippy in Pop Art style!!! LOL, show you all soon!! Chow for Now Pauly xxx

Went away for the weekend and tried to get all my chrissy shopping done....came pretty close. Filled the car, but still got a few prezzies to go....met Mum, Karen and family Sunday....thats always nice to catch up. We shopped and went out for lunch. Totally exhausted by the time we got home. Couldn't have eaten or brought one more thing!!! Best be off to cook tea...Thanks for stopping by Pauly xx

Done this one Sunday. Another one of Debs online classes. Really enjoy doing Debz classes with her kits. Hope to get more done this weekend. We were doing a big ride this weekend, but hubby is in a bad way and I have to make him rest!! So I'll throw him a few movies and hopefully I will be in the mood to scrap up a storm!!

ATC - theme Favourite Quote

Challenge Chics Xmas Hamper Challenge Round 4.

Well, what a fabulous weekend with the weather! It has been raining, raining and raining. Actually got a little scrapping done! The ATC is for a Family & Friends swap, theme, Favourite Quote. It is all hand stamped and coloured with Marvy Markers. Brought all the stuff when I went to Brisbane from a little shop Coz sent me to called The Stamp Trap.Looks better IRL, its real glossy and I even waxed it to protect it forever!! Could certainly get addicted to the scenery stamping, but I only have one set at the moment. The layout is for the final round of the Challenge Chics Xmas Hamper Challenge. Freaked out when I read all the criteria, but once into it, it wasn't as hard as I first thought!! Taking Krystal over to Wang this arvo to watch The New Moon (2nd part of Twilight) after she finishes work and have Noodle Box (our favourite place to eat) in Benalla on our way home. YUMMO!! Off now to tackle one of Debs awesome collages....I have so many kits sitting here waiting to be done....gonna take advantage of actually being home and bookwork up to date!!! Cheers Pauly xx

Oh poor blogger has been rejected!! Just got one LO I did for Debs Sketch Challenge and three ATC's to share. Been too busy or too tired to do anything else. Finally got the Harleys out the weekend before last and did a big charity ride. The Benalla Motorcycle club did a run to raise money for the CFA and SES. We did over 400 kms and boy were we buggared after that!! Was great to finally get the bikes out of "Winter hibernation". We have another ride next weekend up to Omeo. Nothing on this weekend so I may even get to scrap!! Woohoo! Thanks for stopping by....Pauly xx
