Lexie, Pauly, Kathy, Shell and Cass.

Layout one from Friday night

Layout two from Friday night

Xmas cards from Kathies kit.

One off 'Wings' ATC for Vicki. Lots of wings, hope you like.

Cass and I went off to Seymour Friday night to Kathies for a class with Shell. Finally got to meet Shell and Lexie. Met a few other girls too that we hadn't met at Kathies before. Had a great nights, lots of laughs, not much scrappin! We stayed at a motel, then back to Kathies for brekkie with Shell and Lexie on Saturday morning. Great to meet new people, they were all lovely.

Saturday night I made 10 Xmas cards with a kit from Kathie, with lots of leftovers to make plenty more!! Sunday I had hoped to ride and scrap after I had done some bookwork and got my Tax ready to take to the accountant......totally lost the day to bookwork! Rob went out to the shed late in the arvo to make sure his Harley started as we haven't ridden for quite a while ...so I followed him and thought I should check mine too. They started okay, but then I had a bigger urge to ride!! So on I jumped in my pink flanny pj's and slappers.....down the drive, turned out at the road and come back, so lucky Rob didn't think to grab the camera...pretty funny sight!!

Can't believe the end of the month is nearly here as I hardly got any challenges done this month. Maybe next month I may get more done??? Better get some tea on, so I outa here. Thanx for stopping by Pauly xx

Was sitting at my pc doing accounts the other night and looked out the back window and seen this amazing sunset! The sky just rippled with colour. Had to stop what I was doing and grab the camera. I have learnt not to wait a minute cos I've done that before and missed it!! Gotta be quick. The layout is for Scraphappys (Kathies) sketch layout for July. Off to Kathies this Friday night to do a class with Shell Barnard....very excited, I think Cass and I are having a sleepover..... Thanx for stopping by Pauly xx

Page two of double layout (needs more bugs I think)

Krystals new hairdo

'Me' ATC

Winter ATC

Music ATC

The three layouts are from a class at Scraphappy Kats (Kathies). I started them over there and finished them off over the weekend. We left earlier than normal, I was feeling a bit off and mega-tired. Drove home with pains in the stomach. Saturday I was crook as....so I guess it started Friday night. Love these old photos of Cody and thought they suited the layouts to a tee..the second page of the double really needs 'something else' I will cut out some more bugs and think of 'something else'.

The ATC's I have been working on over the last couple of weeks. The music one is for the Challenge Chicks swap. The winter one is for a small friends swap. The 'me' one is for a swap at Uproar2Scrapmore. Thanks for stopping by.....Paulyxx

Another DEB Collage!

This is another collage I did from Deb's online class. My third collage now and I'm lovin em!! I have tackled one of my own and am working on another at the moment (actually been sitting on my table for a week, I want more scrappin time!!) They are not something you can whip up quick!! Off to Kathies tomorrow night to play with butterflies, woohoo! Just a quick post as I am supposed to be doing invoices. Oops, can't help myself!! Thanx for stopping by...Pauly xx

Cybercrop Layouts

Love this photo of Lucas. This was for Vickis Blind challenge.

This one for Stars challenge with no 'brought' patterned paper, so I used paint, ink and doodled!

My challenge was a collage. This is my first own attempt. I did an online class with Deb. Used a bit of leftovers from the class collage and a bit of leftover lime rickey as well.

This one was for Angies sketch challenge. Loved her sketch but dont like my layout. LOL, can't win em all!

Got four layouts done this weekend. One Friday night, one Sat. night, one yesterday and one last night. Spread it out over the weekend amongst stocktaking and end of month stuff. Tack (my boy) got his blower taken out of his ute and his restrictions off his licence last Wednesday. He can finally drive his brand new ute!! I am buying his black ute from him and he took the courtesy car, so now my VT is the courtesy car and I got the ute!! I love it!! Hope he has learnt his lesson and will never drink and drive again!! I really believe he has, he has grown up so much and realizes life isn't just one big party! Has a lovely girlfriend, hope it works out for him this time!! Better get some tea happening. Oh and Kathie, we will definately be there Friday night....no way am I missing out on the butterflies!! See you then. Bye for now Pauly xx

Debs

Hey check out Debs new Challenge Chics site! Cybercrop on this weekend, come and join the fun....link on my sidebar.

Hungry???

Woodland/Forest Critters ATC

I Wish ATC

The brekkie is for you Sue!! You mentioned a while back that I would have lotsa stuff at work that I could take photos of...I remembered!! This is our 'Works Breakfast' at Ski Inn Cafe where I work. We have had lots of brekkies while touring around on our bikes, I reckon ours is the best!! (not biased at all, we are often told that by customers too!!)

A couple of ATC's, one is a sample for our family & friends swap (haven't finished them yet) with the theme 'Woodland/Forest Critters', so I chose a little squirrel. The other is a 'one off' with the theme 'I wish' for a swap at Uproar2Scrapmore. Next I have 'music' for a swap at Debs and a set with a photo of me (eek) also at Uproar. Oops, little bit hooked here!! Oh and just a little swap with the theme 'Winter".

Now its vent time Grrr. We got a truck tyre changer a week ago today.....Rob spent a million hours searching the web and making phone calls before we decided on a machine. We didn't go the 'cheapy', we went about mid-range, took a bank loan to get the sucker and what happens....yesterday it broke!!! So not happy!!! A hydraulics man spent nearly four hours there today......a new part has been ordered and better be here tomorrow and it better fix it!! We are both exhausted, been crook and this just topped it off! Okay finished whinging...sorry

Thanks for stopping by Pauly xx

Heres the other three

Heres the other three, I have just learnt blogger only allows five photos per post!!

8 new layouts!!

The last two Friday nights Cass and I have been over to Seymour to Kathies to attend her crop nights and classes. These layouts are all from Kathies kits and we still have plenty left over!! We really enjoyed Kathies nights and sure we will do plenty more! The drive home this time was a lot clearer than last week...the only bit of fog was in Bonnie Doon. Both weeks we have missed our regular Saturday night scrapping nights as we were too buggared! But we got a lot more done at Kathies than we normally do!! Thanx heaps Kathie, you are wonderful!!

I spent yesterday cleaning house and then cleaning up rest of 'stuff' from last weekend. The Harleys finally have there home back and they are sooo happy and so am I!! Trimmed back all my standard roses. Just a little bit more to clean up next weekend and then our home is back to normal! Yay! Rob is tickled pink with his new shed and loves his new toy! I had to watch last night while he tackled a big tyre that he had been belting and bashing for four hours over a week or so....took five minutes on the new machine!!! Its gonna save his body big time!!! Thanks for stopping by....Pauly xx

!

I'm still here!!

Robs new toy!!! Pretty exciting hey!!

Debs June Master Blaster Challenge

Uproar 'bird' ATC June swap.

Hello, hello, feels like I haven't blogged forever!!! Been busy moving our business from home to our new shed! Hooray, we are in. Moved on the weekend and boy it was hard work. I didn't buy enough tyre racks, so got some more yesterday and we filled those last night. Rob got his new toy today and he is still up at the 'new shed' playing with it! Next suggestion he has come up with is a hoist....more jacks......list goes on.

On the scrappy side of things, well not much! Only have two things to show for two weeks away.

One is my bird ATC, not one of my favourite ATC's I have done, but OK I guess. I used Cuttlebug embossing folder, inks, chalks, glitz and flower brads. My next theme for a swap at Debs is 'music'. I have a few ideas in my head, just hoping I can make some more time!! The other LO is for Debs Master Blaster challenge. It is a 'geometrical ' LO which I found real handy for using multiple photos, and then we had to do a sketch of our LO too. (I'm hiding that from blogworld!)

Last Friday night Cass and I took off to Seymour to one of Kathies (Scraphappy Cat)

crop nights. Finally got to meet the lovely Kathie, it was a good night and we are definately going back! (Maybe tomorrow night, lol) She has fantastic kits for fantastic prices and we got a sneak peek at her kits for this week and I'm in love! Really hoping Lexie comes up to Kaths for a session as I'd really love to meet her too (hint, hint Lex!!)

Uproar2scrapmore are having a cybercrop this weekend....come on over and join the fun!!

Until next time lovely peoples...(not as long this time I hope...) Pauly xx

Debs Negative Space LO of favourite animal

Lisas DT challenge at Debs. Scrap a Challenge Chic! with journalling and handmade flowers.

Debs 12 x 6 Layout of favourite singer. Don't have one favourite, but chose one of... Have never done a 12 x 6 layout, so it was a bit of a challenge!

Family & Friends June ATC swap. Theme - 'Ocean Life'

Mini Rak challenge at Uproar (where everyone is sent the same little pack and you make a card using all the stuff in the kit!) Love to see how different they all turn out.

Well another weekend gone!! Friday night 10 of us travelled to Shepparton to see a Chopper Reid show. I was bitterly disappointed, it was crap! Saturday I spent two hours at the hairdressers covering those pesky little greys....just got the usual black underneath with burgundy on top. Bit of housework and scrapped a few challenges. Today I was gonna get stuck into the challenges for the cybercrop at Ready, Set, Scrap but it didn't happen. We went to Albury ten-pin bowling with Tack and Brooke and Krystal took a friend too. Rob returned his broken GPS to Tandy that he got for Xmas and wasn't real impressed when they told him they would send it away to be fixed and it could take four weeks!!!

SHED NEWS.....woohoo, we move in next weekend!! They poured the concrete on Friday, so we can move in Wednesday, but we decided to do it on the weekend. We just hope the power is on by then because the truck tyre changer is being delivered and installed on Saturday and the guy is going to show us how to use it, so we kinda need power! Might pop up a few nights through the week and start putting up the racks etc. (providing we have power once again!) Gonna be a HUGE move, so I doubt I will get any scrapping done next weekend! But it will be fantastic once we are there!!!!! Thanks for stopping by. Catch ya soon...Pauly xx

Silly season is here!

Took this this arvo from the front of home at 5.15pm. Got 17cm of snow last night, so we now have an average cover of just over half a metre! Wow. Not bad considering our first hit of snow was Saturday night, just on time for the opening weekend. Hope to get a better pic after work tomorrow as it is meant to be sunny tomorrow.....top temp. of 9, but sunny. So 'silly season' is officially here. I feel tired thinking about it!! Catch ya soon.
