A scrapbooking lesson.

I won a scrapbooking lesson at a nearby scrapbooking store.So I'm going to do it this morning.As I've been scrapping for over 8 years,in fact closer to 9,I haven't been to a lesson in quite a while.The topic is little doll(girls page).I have taken about 10 photos of Annabelle,so I have some choices.
At Purplescraps on 14th May I'm running a blind scrap.The ATC/weekly page challenge is still going there,which is useful since I have lots of scraps to use.It has been a learning curve as Julie has made us go outside the square a few times.

News and Enchanted's scrapping.

I'm pleased to report my daughter has found somewhere to live,just in the nick of time.
Over at Enchanted Scrapbooking there is a cybercrop this weekend.I've completed 3 of the 4 challenges.One was to redo an old layout and I came up with the above one.It was originally pink/white gingham.Erica was about a week old here and had just had her bath.

Handmade by Suzanne

I've just been investigating a new shop/site called Handmade by Suzanne.They have some amazing new stock including my favourites Basic Grey and October afternoon.I feel a little spending coming on.They were sponsors at Stuck?! sketches and have also advertised on Purplescraps so I felt I had to check it out.
In other news I have completed the 3 layouts required for Mystical SCrapbooking's cybercrop and can now clear the deck for Enchanted's cybercrop this weekend.
Meanwhile I'm continually thinking about my daughter in Canberra,who is applying for several rental properties and hasn't heard anything yet.I do hope they find just what they need very soon.She has returned to study and money is tight so it would be nice to know they at least have a roof over their heads.

It has arrived

I was woken up this morning by the parcel man who needed my signature for a pizza box parcel.Straight away I knew it was my layout from Scrapbook Creations and the magazine in which I am published.Quickly I flicked through until I found it...lucky last in the whole magazine.It is such a satisfied feeling to see your work in print.I can't put the layout on here but if you buy scrapbook cReations it is on page123.There were also some lovely layouts from the Enchanted girls-Wendy,Lisa and Krissy.

My city of Sydney

Here's a layout I did based on a song,about my city-Sydney. It is for an entry on
These are a few of my favourite things blog.Hope they like it! I love living in Sydney and I'm always proud of it if I return from some holiday and fly over it.

Nature v's man.

At my parents house today,three huge gum trees were cut down.They were very tall and old.I can remember them all from my childhood.The white gum has been a local landmark almost.I'll upload some photos of it coming down.The first one shows the tree feller up in the branches,the second is one of the smaller trees actually falling...timbeeeeer!
