A bit of remodelling.....

....a bit of blog remodelling that is!!
Felt like jazzing it up a little and have redone the banner...although it doesn't fit exactly, but I couldn't be bothered fiddling around with getting the size right anymore...meh, I'm happy with it!

I'd love for you to leave a comment and tell me what you think of the changes!

Thanks!!

Melbourne photos...

This is just a quick post to upload a few of our photos from Melbourne.

We took around 220 pics so I've just picked a few that I liked.

I decided to do a bit of a collage...much easier and quicker to upload with Blogger! LOL!

Really love the Luna Park photo...will definitely be doing a layout on that one!!

Ummm...I've seen on other blogs, line frames around photos but I don't know how to do it...if someone out there knows, could you please let me know...I just think it looks better....thanks!!

Ok that's it!...told you it was a short post! LOL!!

Cya!!

A few layouts to share....

I've been doing Kim Archer's new Seven workshop these last couple of days so I thought I'd share my first two layouts from the workshop....























And this layout is for Scrap the Boys January Challenge...we had to use their blog banner as inspiration.....



The photos on all these layouts were taken at Cockatoo Island last November...after a bit of tweaking in photoshop I love how they've turned out!


Yesterday I managed to get all the 220 odd photos that we took in Melbourne off the camera and onto the computer....they need a bit of work in photoshop though, so I'll post a few when they're ready.

Today I took Ethan and Kiara to the movies to see "Bolt"....they wanted to see it while we were in Melbourne but John and Jordan weren't too keen to see it so I promised to take them this week. We enjoyed it, it's a great little film...he is a very cute puppy!!


So it's midnight now and I can hear my pillow calling so I'm off to bed!


Thanks for stopping by....g'night!!!

Hello 2009!!!

Well 2009 is here and is chugging along just as quickly as 2008 did!!


There's another blog award doing the rounds and the lovely Kylie has given it to me...thanks so much Kylie!!!


The Proximity Award!!!!




This is called The Proximity Award."These blogs invest and believe in PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers! Deliver this award to eight bloggers, who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."


I'm sure most of my fave blogs have already been given the award so I'll just leave it at that!


We've just returned from a short holiday to Melbourne...it was a spur of the moment trip so we could only manage 5 days away but managed to fit a fair bit into those 5 days!! LOL!!....

1 Adventure Water Park near Geelong on Monday.
2 Sovereign Hill at Ballarat on Tuesday.
3 Shopping and sightseeing in the city on Wednesday, including riding the new Southern Cross Wheel.
4 Dandenong ranges riding the Puffing Billy steam train, going to the movies to see Madagascar 2 on Thursday.
5 Scienceworks in the morning before flying home Friday afternoon.


I've taken plenty of photos but they're still on the camera so I'll post some of those later.


John and Jordan headed off on a trip to the Gold Coast today with Jordan's football team which they've been looking forward to...I'm sure they'll have some great father/son time at all the theme parks!!...I'm expecting two very tired boys to come home next Saturday!!! LOL!

No scrapping shares today but I'm going to get off this computer right now and get stuck into some scrapping this afternoon! I just signed up today for Kim Archer's new SEVEN workshop which I'm itching to get started on!


Thanks for dropping by......
