Weekend rambling..

I am always a bit of a rambler, so I thought I would stop in on this warm weekend and say Hi. We have nothing much planned this weekend. Mark is still trainging for the Port Mac ironman, so spending hours on his bike and running. I am going to have a spruce up at the hairdressers this afternoon. Might even get a big haircut. I get bored with hair..it grows back!

Over Christmas we went to Cohuna and all had a wonderful time at the local pool on the waterslide, even me. It wasn't a particularly hot day, but since when has that stopped kids from water fun! Here are 2 layouts I did whilst in Inverloch at New Year. I thought these papers were too cute.

I have been having fun rearranging and roorganising my pantry. Tupperware have decided to discontinue the blue lids, which is of course the colour I have, sooo I had a few gaps that I need to fill up to complete my pantry. Unbeknown to me, after I rearranged things, I made even more gaps, and think I have tallied up $300 worth, hence decided to have a party in March so I can at least benefit. I also want some containers to put frozen vegies/chips/ etc in the freezer, as it really annoys me having them all in opened bags and boxes!

All is going well with the kids, Harry started school without any hassles, no tears from either of us, and he has not said he doesn't want to go yet! Emmy is doing ok at creche, fine once she is there, but a bit teary when I drop her off. Harry has been there with her, since she started, and she was in the same room as him for tha last 2 months. So a big change for her..

Ok I am off to tidy up, hang out some washing (that really never ends, in , out, fold and away, in out, fold and away)

Have a great weekend.

A recent layout...
I did this whilst away over the New Year.

we are off to Ocean Grove to spend the night with a dear old friend. Because hubby is doing triathalon in Port Arlington tomorrow. He did the Geelong Half Ironman last week, his third time. He scraped 2 minutes off his time, so he was very happy. He is training hard for his second Port Macquarie Ironman in March.., We are going to drive up, eeek, that will be interesting!
Have a nice weekend.

Here is a card I made on behalf of the girls at work...for one of our lovely colleagues, who is setting off on a journey to Cairns for several months..

I love this Stampin'Up! set...with the clock

Have a great weekend xxx

A Layout too

This is the layout I completed whilst watching the DVD Space Chimps (which I really enjoyed) with the kids yesterday. I was very proud to get my still new Slice out to cut the 2 flowers and the words. Turned out great. Can't wait for my 4 new cartridges to arrive from the states. Now does anyone wanna buy a cricut, LOL...Seriously.
The butterflies are a Stampin Up punch which I have borrowed, thanks Gail. Very handy, might need it!! This is Emmy at her Fairy Birthday party. She looked so cute..
Enjoy your week...

Galiforce Stampers challenge

I am always up for a challenge. So when one of our team members chose this challenge out of left field I jumped on board...
The colours are from one of the DSP's in the Summer mini. They are so bright, but alas do look good together. We could also add Tempting Turqoise, but I didn't. I think it is perfect for a girls card, and will add an age somewhere with a bit of sparkle and I might add some bling to the 3D butterfly for antennas.

The colours used are - Pixie Pink, Pink Passion, Only Orange, Summer Sun and Green Galore. The cute butterfly (butterfly prints) set and punch are out of the mini too...

I hope you have all enjoyed your weekend. We have had a quiet one at home, with a nice dinner with friends last night. I got in a couple of movies, and completed a layout. And am looking forward to an extra day off this week. I also çan't believe in 8 sleeps I will be a school mum. I am so excited for the changes I will see in Harry, and for his new learning experiences.

catch Ya soon.

Cheers Karen xxx

Happy New Year

Happy New Year, I hope you are all well and inspired for a rewarding twenty ten..

I have had a lovely holiday in Inverloch over the New Year with my family, including my sister. We enjoyed going to the movies, the races and out for New Years dinner. I also had a chance to scrap while away, and then at 2 crops since new year. I have 2 to share from last night, and need to finish 1 layout and I will post the others too.







I bought a(nother) new tote last night, and I love it, so much of a better shape than my old one. Everything fits in much better and is easier to access. I am motivated to keep creating today..however I have to get washing done too. I am also keen to maybe go to Zoo Twilights tonight, but hubby may not be keen after his 120 km bike ride (madly training again for more Ironman events, crazy!!).
I was meant to go back to work this week, but had to take sick leave after Harry swallowed a coin last Saturday night, I have been on poo duty, and although I believe I have been thorough, it is yet to surface!!
Ok off to get the washing on.... take care

Merry Christmas

Hi everybody.

Not much to report.

I am excited as i wait for Christmas morning. With a 3 and 5 year old, things are very joyous..

Harry goes to school next year, so a new challenge, and more fun times...I am really looking forward to his learning. I think Emmy will really miss him at Kinder/creche though.

I know this card isn't christmas at all, but I can't find my photo of my christmas card I sent out this year. So I will have to take another one, from my card which is at work! This train set is a very cute Stampin'Up! set..

I hope you have a beautiful Christmas and 2010 is full of love and laughter. See you soon.

Cheers Karen
