Last weekend Kristy, Jenny and I went to Country Papercraft again for a scrapbooking retreat. I absolutely LOVE this place as it is on a farm and we are made to feel so welcome there by Marg and Vickie. I always have a fantastic time on these retreats and love catching up with all the Perth girls. I actually got quite a bit done on the weekend which was very unusual for me as I normally spend most of the time talking :) I am still finishing off a couple of the projects but thought I would post the ones I have completed so far.
The first ones are a couple of canvases that I made for my laundry. I wanted a couple of pictures to put in there but wanted to try making something myself. I looked up pinterest and found a couple of good sayings that were "laundry related" and went from there.
I am really happy with how they turned out.
The second project is a birthday board. Many thanks to Robin for marrying "Mr Robin" as he creates the wood projects for us to decorate and also a big thanks to Amie for supplying the letters for me.

I have just had a great four day long weekend that ended up being very productive. I have had a massive tidy up of my craft room which was really needed as it has been in such a mess for the last few months. I also found a couple of layouts that I had completed but have not posted so I have put them at the bottom of this post. Unfortunately, I have stumbled across a few unfinished craft projects as well as a few that haven't even been started yet! Last count was 21 projects! Well at least now they are all together in a container so I know where to find them and now I have a nice clean craft table to complete them on.

Finally got one of my projects finished. These are a couple of kits from Kelsey O'Mullane that I purchased AGES ago and I have finally finished them. I changed a couple of them around to suit what I liked and also the products that I had on hand but I am really happy with the finished products.

Well it is the 30th of June today and the first six months of this year have really flown by. I thought it was well and truly time to update my blog!!!
Here are a couple of layouts I have done recently.

Well here we are, 19 days into 2014 and they have flown by!!!
Here are a few layouts I have been working on over the last few weeks and a couple of other ones that I did a few months ago.
A big thank you to Belinda for letting me use some of her photos for my P!nk layouts as the ones I took were a bit blurry (this may or may not have been due to the copious amount of wine consumed at the pre show function).

I have been on holidays for the last week or so and have really been enjoying the time off at home. I have been doing a bit of craft as well which is great. I purchased the instructions for a calendar from Paper Phenomenon ages ago and I have finally started it just in time for the new year. I have only done January so far as it is very time consuming and I will just work on it through the year.
I have to say a big thank you to Amie who did a trial run on the construction of the calendar and realised that it wasn't going to be particularly strong and also a big thank you to Robin and her husband who made the "box" that forms the calendar. This made it so much easier so thanks so much to you all.
Happy New Year!

Well November was a full on month for me, I was away for 3 weekends during the month and I am still trying to catch up on everything at home. The first weekend I went on another scrapbook retreat to Country Papercraft with Kristy and Jenny and we met up with our other friends there. As usual, it was a fantastic weekend full of lots of laughs and a little scrapping got done as well :)
The third weekend, Kristy and I went to Perth to "Make Pretty Stuff" with the gorgeous Heidi Swapp and Kim Jeffress which was absolutely fantastic and the bonus was that we got to catch up with all our scrappy girlfriends again, some of which we haven't seen for over two years. Heidi and Kim were both so generous and giving with their time and knowledge and so really nice to us all. The next weekend, Dean and I went to Perth to help my niece celebrate her 6th birthday and also to see "An evening with Hoges" which was a show put on by Paul Hogan about his life and how he entered the world of showbiz.
So, now December is upon us and Christmas Day is only 15 sleeps away!!!
The girls came on around on Sunday to catch up for the last time this year and we were all very productive making cards, Christmas tags and other little projects. I made a heap of cards and I am really happy with how they turned out. I still have more to make but wanted to show you a few of them.
Lots of love

It has been over a month since I last posted any of my scrapbooking work on my blog but this is because I have been working on a Birthday gift for my Mum so posting the pics before I gave it to her would probably have ruined the surprise! I made another Paper Phenomenon album similar to the one I made for my Birthday but put photos in it that had been taken through Mum's life or photos of special people in her life. Last weekend we drove to Perth to help Mum and Fiona celebrate their birthdays which was really lovely and I was able to give her the book.
Here are the pics.

Last Sunday, Kristy and Jenny came around for a lovely afternoon of crafting. I finished 2 single page layouts and a double page layout so all in all it was a very productive afternoon!

We have finally finished doing up an old kitchenette that Dean's Mum gave us. It now has a new home in my scrapbook room and I just love it. My beautiful husband did all the hard work and boring stuff (sanding it down, pulling the doors apart and putting them back together) and I did all the fun stuff (painting it).

Here it is when we started it.....
The finished product!!
