hello my lovelies!!!!
I know that it has been a little while sinced I have posted on here but I have been doing daily posts on the Scraperlicious blog.
I have just come back from spending 4 days in good ol' Swanny [Swan Hill] with the most gorgeous COCO!!!
She has been moving house AGAIN and I decided to pop on up and offer some help & laughs to get her through it all.
You should have seen the look on her face when I pulled up outside their new home & hopped out of the car!! PRICELESS - I can tell you. So worth it!!
Dave & Tom were so pleased to see me too. They all give such a warm welcome for unexpected guests!! hee hee
So it was packing & unpacking and trying to find what sort of covering there was on the floor and all sort of fun things.
In amongst all this moving, Tom had his graduation night at school. He is now officially OVER primary school and is chillaxing now on holidays. Love ya Tom, well done & enjoy your break.
With Dave off working, [as one must!! poor man - such LONG days], the two of us girls managed to have plenty of giggles and laughs. We even squeezed in a trip to town & purchased a couple of little goodies for ourselves [now no-one tell the hubbies, ok !! lol].
Finally came the day I was to leave Coco, Tom & Dave to their new home and return to my own.
I was so glad that I was able to help out in such a small way as it can be such a daunting task all on your own.
Thank you guys for such an overwhelmingly warm welcome. I love you all so much and just remember Coco - if you can't find what you're looking for ........ it's in the PANTRY !!!! hee hee hee
Cheers for now guys.
luv me xxooxx
Me & Pete [brother in law] sharing some christmas cheer.
Mother & son on Christmas night. My boy Jamie !!!
I have been wanting to get some done for awhile but never seemed to be able to find the time!! So today was the perfect time.
Simon accepting his parchment.
It didn't take long to add the necesseties and finish.
And ..... I wasn't completely happy with how I left this page. So I did a Susy and added to it!!! 
I stamped the title in red paint with foam stamps & marked around the letters with a white gel pen to give them a more 'boyish' look.
I attached this saying as I thought it was cute & a little mischieveous too, hee hee. Well you must have skill in ice cream eating .... mustn't you????
This is the front of the canteen dressed up with fairies and wands.
We had an absolute ball and the kids brought their money along and happily bought some yummy goodies!! We had fairy cakes, fairy bread, fairy muffins, wand biscuits and mini fairy muffins to enjoy.
Yesterday I started creating this cute little birdhouse. I painted it with 'Burnt Umber' paint & allowed it to dry. I then covered it with patterned paper by Kaisercraft.
I then sanded all edges & inked with 'Vintage Photo' Distress Ink. It was pretty easy to glue it all together and onto the base.
Today I added a button border around the bottom & some bling and other additions.
Wasn't sure of the colours to start of with but I do like it.
In this photo are my mum as a girl, my nana and my great nana Kenny. Not sure what year it is, must check that with mum.
Looking along the page. Hope you like & thanx for checking in.
Here's my Reserve Champion ribbon.
And here's my winnings. Gotta love Digiorgio!!!
So overall I was lucky enough to receive -
Hope you enjoy.
I 'd been busy ALL day getting things ready for a catering job tomorrow, so this pizza ended up being Spud's 'birthday cake'. hee hee hee
We sang - Happy Birthday - and he still had fun blowing out the candles!!
So while I still had a little time left on my holidays, I got to it & stitched her up!!.
I liked the colours in this paper & how it had a very simple design on the reverse side.
I added detail in the form of flowers & bling. I hope she likes it. Happy birthday Mum.
