So moving right along and trying to get back into the swing of things more, as in blogging, crafting and everything else in between. Even washing, although I do avoid this as much as I possibly can, but it’s winter and the girls need clothes, haha.
Angie has been on FIRE lately and being on her team is rather exciting. Angie is also pretty laid back and if you can, you can type of attitude, love her. And her images are so quirky and different, so me. And so when she showed me the new line coming I fell instantly in love with them. And here is the new girl “Teacher” only I wanted to use her for the statement : – The World is Yours…
How BIG and bulky is my mini smash book getting? I think that when I finish it I may as well stick both the covers together and it can be displayed like that…

That’s right a SMASH* hop, that I am really rather excited about, something really new and FUN. 
Well this is rather late and once again I didn’t have as much as I had a rather busy week. But I have tried to take more this week ready for this coming week. This one is all based on my little man Wyatt.
Meet PIPPA…… She is an Australian Kelpie cross with an Australian Koolie, hence the merle through her. Already she has won us all over, well all but Wyatt, he’s not overly impressed, but I think he’s warming to her. The girls adore her and hubby is even letting her sleep with us, which I didn’t plan she has her own bed, but I just couldn’t help it. I even woke at 4am to him laughing that she woke him to nipple on his ear. I tell you she has us all already wrapped around her paw. We ordered some snake like solar lights looking things that send out a wave to prevent snakes and apparently they are amazing, people that are using them have reported not seeing a snake all Summer. A lady in my street came and told me about them after she heard about Bruno. Both her breeds are very smart and very energetic so time to get my runners on and get walking!
Isn’t it always funny looking back, sometimes you love what you made and other times you wonder why you even blogged something, or is that just me?! SO come and join in as it’s a lot of FUN and add your name to the linky and keep coming back to see others favourite things from 2011 and I am sure you will get inspiration for ideas for 2012…. xo
I bet some of you that follow my blog are really NOT shocked at all to see this go up? Getting into my SMASH* book and letting go has finally helped me scrapbooking wise finding my style and just letting go and letting it come naturally and not trying to push myself to do things that I normally wouldn’t do or to make it look similar to something I seen that’s not overly me but I liked the look. It taught me to make everything my own and that less is enough and that sometimes LOTS is fine too. I have not SMASH*ed for a couple of weeks now but only for the fact that I am scrapping my heart out lately but have plans for this weekend and they include, smash book, December Daily, Scrapping and Christmas cards………….As I have not made a SINGLE one!
I get all my instragram photos printed here and have never had an issue with them and love the quality. Mind you I have nothing to compare them too but they are reasonably priced and considering they are coming to me from overseas their shipping and service has always been amazing I have used them about 4 times now and about to make it 5. You can check them out 
I know it might seem a little odd adding a challenge but when I get in my scrapping mood as I started then went slightly off and now in it full swing. They always have amazing sketches and ones that I can always play along with and not just with scrapping but I have also played along in the past with making cards. So check them out
OK so usually I only do 4 but as this one is not something I will enable you to BUY per say, I thought it’s ok! Today is my anniversary. We have been together 12 years and now married 4. We did everything back to front as we like to mix things up a little. We had all our girls first, bought a house and THEN we married. I think the final hint was when I picked my ring, circled the catalogue, put it in her wallet so he couldn’t miss it, went and tried it on and told them to look out for a guy with a maroon courier shirt on……. Not that I was pushy or anything, right?! Once again I will say, he makes me laugh every day, and I just can’t get enough of him, he’s gorgeous, an amazing father and all MINE haha….
She mucked up on the face and got bumped when she was colouring the hair, but I told her it still looks gorgeous and that was good enough for her. Not bad colouring if you ask me, I think I have a bunch of crafty girls in the making.
And here is my card….
YES I did use my kit again and NO I am not sick of it yet and YES there will be more in the same paper coming soon, BUT I can’t help it, how gorgeous are the papers? Something I most likely would had never bought and yet I can’t stop using them now, so just goes to show! I hope my Studio Calico GLEE kit arrives this week as well as the photos I ordered. Over 100 of them eeeek, lots of scraping.
Mmmmmmmm I can’t wait till after tea when I can have yet another bowl like last night! Do I not have the best aunty?! Might pop in for a cuppa more often.
