Calling all scrappers!!!....can you help????

Julie Stone is asking for help from the scrapbooking community to complete 6300 pages for the Southern Cross Kids Camps which will be on again from next January. They need donations of simple 6x6 pages to make up memory books for all the kids that take part in these camps. These abused and "at risk" kids have a wonderful time at camp and their memory books help them to hang on to the wonderful memories long after the camp is over...it's a wonderful cause and a practical way that we can all help someone less fortunate than ourselves. For more information just head to Julie's blog.


This is just a short post but before I go I've got a couple of layout shares:


I recently bought some fab new chipboard shapes designed by Petrina Mcdonald and this layout uses the funky criss-cross...just perfect for masculine layouts.




I was going to post another layout from our trip to Selwyn but have just realised I haven't scanned it yet!...ooops!! LOL!..I'll post it another day.

We're starting to get in the Christmas spirit...only 27 sleeps to go!!!!!!
I've made a few cards and decorated a Kaisercraft advent tree all ready for 1st December! I'll be sorting out the Christmas tree, decorations and lights this weekend....can't believe how fast this year has flown!!!!

It's Friday night and time for a glass of wine....see ya!!!

Slack blogger!

I know...it's been awhile since I blogged but I just haven't felt like it!

So I'll do a bit of a catch up in dot form and then share a couple of layouts.


* Sep/Oct school holidays have been and gone....we hung out at home, the boys had a couple of sleepovers and we hit the movies.


* Jordan has had braces put on....he's handled it pretty well so far considering he had to have 4 teeth taken out to accommodate the braces!!! OUCH!!!!


*Oztag has re-started for this summer each Thursday afternoon. Ethan wanted to play this year so he has joined Jordan's team. He's actually playing up 2 years in the U/13's but as Oztag is non-contact we thought he'd be OK. He held his own and played very well in the first game last week!!


* John took Ethan on a Bridgeclimb (Sydney) in Oct....it was actually his birthday present from us when he turned 10 last May...it just took us awhile to get around to doing it LOL!! He absolutely loved it!!...no fear of heights for that boy!!


* I've had another birthday, last Sunday in fact. We headed off to Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour for the day with my brother and his family and also my parents. Caught a ferry over, went on a guided tour, learnt about the history of the island, had lunch at the cafe on the island and finished of with a yummy profiterole cake!!! We had a great day with lots of photos taken...here are a few....

and one of Jordan...love the texture of the rusted machinery behind him...

* my 6 month term with Stuck?! Sketches has now finished and I've decided not to continue....here are my last couple of Stuck?! layouts....

This layout uses the gorgeous Basic Grey Offbeat papers....

Ok, that's it for now...time for a cuppa!

Thanks for dropping by.
