Weekend Updates

Had a busy weekend. Dada had some painting to do so to keep Katrina away from the fumes we were barely home.

Spent lots of time at the in-laws and then we had a going away party and a visit to andrew's best friends place to see the new baby boy again and catch up with him before he goes to Perth for a few weeks for work.

Today Katrina and I spend well over an hour outside drwing chalk art on the footpath, riding her little bike and just enjoying the sunshine. It was a great way of taking heaps of photos also.

I also just go a layout done of it all today too;

New Site Discovery

I just found a great site which I am seriously thinking of joing up. It's in no way scrapbooking related but rather music. It's called Mog and basically it scans your harddrive for your music, but unlike other programs it's not to share files, but rather share your playlist and talk about music. You can search what other people are listning to and find recomendations to stuff you may not have come across or heard of yet but may like. Sort of like the world giving you music recomendations instead of asking your friends what they are liking right now.

On a scrapbooking note here are some links to my 2 newest layouts... yes right now I am too lazy to post them here, might edit this tomorrow and put them in.

Scrap Ramblings

I got another DT rejection lastnight... ahhh well the DT's I am on rawk and I have to wonder if I truely could fot it all in with some time to do layouts with kit's i have bought.

So I have been doing a bit of blog reading today and well... everyone's lives sound so much more interesting than mine! It seems everyone is busy doing lots of things and still got time to scrap! My big question is how do you fit it all in??

I got woken up by the phone this morning, I was not happy at all especially since they hung up before I could answer.

I just thought of an idea, does anyone wanna scraplift me and I'll scraplift you and then we will both try and scraplift the scraplifts each other did and see if it really comes anything like the original or if it comes out completely different.
If it sounds like fun to you, leave me a comment.

Oh and I finally checked my sitemeter which i installed the other day and wow, people have visited me here from places I didn't even think of like Netherlands and Japan and Ireland so Hi to everyone *wave*

The Bad News... The good News...

The Bad News is... I applied for some DTs over the last few weeks mainly to see if I am considered good enough. A coupple of them I am not good enough or not what they are looking for apparently. That's fine, I really didn't expect to be, but i guess you never can know if you don't try huh.

Good news though is one of my layouts will be in an upcomming issue of Scrapbook Creations issue 34 I believe and I have another one possibly going to Scrapbooking Memories, so at least the aussie mags seem to think I am ok! :)

Layout Updates

Now that my Mojo has returned i feel more like myself this week. I think I went and lost the plot and my mind last week!

I had Andrew's Birthday On Sat which was good but otherwise not much to really update about.


This was the mojo breaker:

Cozy & warm:

















Kit name: Mimosa Designer: Eve Recinella Available at: 3Scrapateers.com Fonts: Century Gothic , Pea Jenny Script Notes: Also Used Kathy Moore's wavy brown stitch


80s Fasion:

Mojo Returns

I have my mojo back... stay tuned as I will be posting updates and layouts soon. :)

Please help me find my mojo

It seems my creative mojo has run away, if you find it please send it home to me.

I am trying, really trying but everything looks like poop! So im going to vacate this computer and hopefully find some inspiration and my mojo elsewhere for now.

Weekend Updates

I had an ordinary weekend. Went to Liz's BBQ on sat night which was good, but nothing special. Did the in laws on sunday, which went like normal, so no major news there either.

I did get an email reply from an aussie scrapbooking magazine interested in one of my layouts I submited so at least there is interest in 1 of the 10 I submitted the other day. :)

My Day and some Plugs

I have had a good Thursday (though technically it's Friday morning now!)

I forgot to go back to Kmart yesterday to get a playdoh activity table I seen for $69 as It would make a perfect birthday or Xmas present for Katrina in the coming months. I woke up had some breakfast started flicking through the catalogs and while looking through the Kmart one seen the activity table pictured. I was showing my dad it when I noticed the price $39 and the sale started today. So I rushed through my breakfast got dressed in the quickest possible time and drove to Kmart 5 mins away from my house. Searched for a trolley as it's too big for me to carry and when I got there I scored the lucky last one, Katrina also did well by getting a medium sized soft Dora toy too as it was quite cheap.
Then after lunch dad had to go and collect some money from Medicare and mum decided to go with him. Katrina got all excited pointing at the car through the door when she seen Dad pick up the keys so they decided to take her with them, while I finished doing some housework. Wahhhooo. I turned the music up full blast, bopped away while I vacuumed and did the dishes and then had a VERY long shower. Man that was good, I could do with that more often! I even had some time to spare when I got out to dry my hair and play on the computer before they got back :) I really miss the me time I have always had oodles of it my entire life as I am an only child so having Katrina around almost 24/7 has been a huge adjustment for me.
Then I went to My friend Melissa's house for a surprise cake and cuppa for Mich's Birthday. She didn't wanna do anything as she feels a bit sad about turning 25, but we couldn't just forget her so we did it in a way that wasn't such a big deal but still made her feel special for the day, even if it was a day latter than her actual birthday. It was great catching up with all the girls and having some adult conversation all in all today has been one of the better day I have had for a while. It's funny how sometimes the simple things really do make a difference to our overall wellbeing and state of mind.

I also discovered how easy it is to rip my Cd's to mp3s so I can put them on my iPod today. (i know, i know how behind am i!) So at least i wont have to purchase lots of stuff again as i have 100s of Albums and singles just sitting in a tub under my bed, I may as well be getting some use out of that music.

Finally on to a scrapbooking topic... The lovely Peta Stokes has created a forum for Digi Scrappers from Down Under so we are talking Australia and New Zealand, so if you are from this region go check it out as I'm sure within a few weeks it will be the Down Under Hub for all us Digi scrappers in this area. Go to Digital Scrapbooking Down Under right now OK!

Also If you scrap girls, or you are a girl (now this applies to 98% of the scrapbooking world ATM) then check out this months Fab Mega kit at Digiscrapdivas.com it's very girl and huge so you would get plenty of pages created with this kit alone so go and get it now!

Thanks
