Monday....another week.

well here we are at the start of another week.
after a pretty crappy weekend, with alot of crap going on the day started out pretty good,

shopping at a few oppys, picked up my girls a DORA EXPLORER playtent, for like 5bux.
they LOVE IT its bright pink and green and its a ball pit one, but hey they dont mind the missing balls.
they already have their tunnel that connects to 2 tents which they use DAILY but i thought a change was needed.
so far so good.
also got some treasures, got ayeshas mum an old phone u know those cool gold and cream fancy lady ones, well that was 5, and shes been searching for months, seeing prices up to $100 so im proud to get her something she wants :D

also some other treasures nothing to exciting!!

Then onto spotlight, ayesha got some sculpey to make me a POPPLE!!!! will post pics when done.
and i got some paint for my dads canvas, i really want to get the crackle medium to WORK so got new paint so please cross fingers it actualy works for me this time, or else im giving the crap away lol

food shopping was next, uneventful as usual spent way to much and got hardly anything.
lots of cleaning and flea stuf for my babies.

home to a arm full of parcels.
a messed up order from an online shop which im pissed about...
some curious george toys i bought michael 3 months ago and have been missing.
and 2 of the most beautiful sunshines.
one from kyla, who is just THE most nice and generous girl i know seriously, she is way too nice!!!
another of some gorgeous fabrics, flowers and bling which i will definatly put to greAT USE.

AND OF course, the AWESOME RIBBONS FROM DI!!
thanks di hehe'
they are just so awesome a huge box of the big w ones....
so yep and then after that some cat baths were had, 2 very pissed off kitties who hated us for a few hours, but you know what those fleas dropped off like so fast!!!!
it was disgusting to see poor sui had so many on her tummy and legs, poor thing, we g ot like 20 off her.
then vaccume and sprayed the house out in this exelpet spray for carpets and furniture it kills eggs and fleas so fingers crossed the cycle breaks down i hate my poor girls suffering.

a late arvo nap with sui under my legs keeping warm, and ayesha next to me then up for dinner.

all in all a good day.

apart from a very important friend leaving an online forum, ,really shitty situation there, i just hope she comes back because i really will miss her. shes awesome.

lets hope the week gets better.

Fish tank girl

Doesnt anabelle just look ADORABLE here?
this is one of the girls most FAVE places to "hang out" sunbake, lay, and just relax in
Its an old fishtank ayesha bought at a garage sale for $2 ages ago.
We werent sure if it leaked so left it on the balcony, to check its water tightness.
And yeah its never been in the house since.....
Id love to have some beautiful fish in it, but we dont have a pump etc, maybe once we get those we can set up a awesome fish tank.
untill then, ill just have my CAT FISH!!!

to make up for that i shall share some CUTENESS in some forms of loves of mine :)

cyber crop fun!!!

The cybercrop i entered over at embellished last weekend announced the winners today!!!!

i was SO HAPPY to see a forum buddy nicole won overall!(hi nicole!! i know u read my blog hehe)
her work was amazing and if im allowed to admit, i voted for her, then yep i did :) hehe
i also came equal 1st in one of the challenges i entered which was pretty cool!!

the thing that majorly sucks about the frame i made for the challenge, i posted it off to my mother on monday and well she didnt recieve it any day this week.........i am WISHING its not MIA!!! or else ill be severly pissed off as i made it specially for her!!!!! please let it be caught in mail and get there soon.
its sad i wanted her to get tons of pressies and suprises for mothers day but now she just gets my clock, ayeshas zebra pin and the grandkitties gift of a crystal mouse....
my mum HATES mice, scared to death of em so its a pretty funny present :) she will love it though cos she adores anabelle and sui and afterall they bought it!!!!
I just wanted her to get tons of cool stuf to take her mind off the fact that she has no mother this mothers day.
My beautiful most favourite family relative in the entire world, my nan ruby, who passed away in december. Its gunna be a tough sad mothers day this year, the first in many years i havnt visited her, with a gift to tell her how much i love her being my nan.
And probobaly the first since i could talk i couldnt wish her happy mothers day, i remember for years when we lived in tassie we would call her up on birthdays, mothers days, and pretty much once a week, just to talk to her, and mothers day was special, me and my brother would both yell or sing into the phone "happy mothers day nan"
i am sure she had a good laugh at us idiots~!!!! lol
she was just so cute, and i hate so much the fact i cant walk down to her house anymore to see her.
In a way i know this is gunna sound horrible but i just wish it was my other nan and not my bestest favourite one you know. please dont think me a horrible person for that, anybody reading this.

anyway enough babble from me.
happy mothers day to all the mothers out there for sunday, and have a great weekend

He's just CUTE!!!


How cute is this little dog??
His name is MAX and he is owned by the lovely awesome ALZ, a buddy off the scrap forums.
well i just adore his little face, and from reading stories about him i know id love him too if i met him irl!!!!

so i made him a cat stuffie, cos what dog doesnt LOVE cats right? hehe well seems his owner has claimed it for herself, hehe greedybum alz! nah jokes
seems he loved to chew on them, and dog slobber, covering up the cat fur smell which was no doubt left by my 2 girls!!
here he is "MODELING" his cat, and his mums robot.
am SO glad he, and alz loved them heaps :)
it feels awesome to actually be able to make something other people enjoy, which brings something good to their day :)

Finalllly...


So today, after months and months of submitting to various scrap mags
one of my pages got picked up for submission,
This morning when i opened the email, i thought oh here we go ANOTHER rejection and then i read it had been accepted, well i was BLOWN AWAY and shocked!!!!!!
im SO SO PROUD because its one of my personal fave layouts.
and it features my GORGEOUS nephew michael, so hes guna be famous in a magazine. lol
the mag wont be out for a few months, i have to post it in next week, with all the paper work.
i just am so happy to finally have something in print!!!!!
its been my ONE new years resolution this year, and for the first time in my LIFE i have succeded in attaining a set out goal.
I never set resolution goals, ok i lie, i always say "this year i will loose weight" or stuf like that, but by the first week of the year that ideas thrown out the window.
so it feels awesome to have achieved something ive set a goal for.
ya know?
It just means so much more to me than just getting a page in a mag, even more than anybody can understand or know, but its so special to me, so im stoked!!!!!!!!

so apart from that today, i had a appointment at my job network, it was average, as usual. but my lady shirley was so proud of me :) hehe.
then i met a forum buddy loz, which was pretty cool!!

tonight i watched saw 3, i LOVE all the saw movies, and this one has to of been the best ive seen yet.
it was DISGUSTING in parts, so gruesome, but it was just a great storyline and a real twist.
i suggest you rent it :0)

goodnite all. anybody actually read these? if so comment me!!!

This is ayeshas very old board, which her mum bought up months back with all her old bedroom stuf.
anabelle loves playing on it, her fave game is to sit in her coke box, ontop of the skateboard, where i push it along, lol yep shes crazy.
sui hates it moving but loves standing on it and sleeping on it, here on her balcony this arvo.

love my sui!!!!

luvluv





oh i just have to share these pics!!!

i made a little robot for a forum buddy over at sbm....as a auction prize in a fundraiser.

her little daughter, Ella ADORED IT, the pics were just so cute.
seriously they made my day!!!!!
to see a child so happy, and so in love with a little something i made, really makes me feel great.
i am SO GLAD that she loved it :)

i just hope Michael loves his robot, as much as Ella seemed to love hers :)

Saturday...


so i had the most lazy quiet Saturday in ages.
i slept in till nearly 4...PM wow, that is super late, even for ME!!!
well i did awake early to let out anabelle who was crying at the door, for some sunshine lol.
but quickly went back to sleep.

I spent the day finishing off some of my dads birthday invites, they are looking so awesome.
If not repetitive....have to make close to 37 of them.
I am SO glad that my dad doesn't have hundreds of friends, and that our family is relatively small.
Or else id be screwed!!

I then spent tonight doing a page, which i love. of my gorgeous nephew AND gorgeous puppy.
Very happy with how it turned out.
and can you believe, NO BAM POP.......LOL.... yep getting over the addiction.

although i DID use it just last nite on a page i did for a forum buddy kyla! i hope she likes it.

here is the pic of the latest layout....
and yep its my first one SCANNED not photographed, i love how u can see so much detail in the scans, so glad i finally got a scanner, where have i been without one!!
Sunday i think will be a repeat of today, with less sleeping, more finishing of invites.
they are all hopefuly going postal MONDAY!!!
i cannot wait to get them out and done, then thats one less stress to worry about.
All ill have to do is the canvas, the finished "otp project" which im keeping secret till its done!!!!! well about 3 people know.....but u know what i mean. And then thats it for my dad.
im going to tassie in about 4 weeks......
exciting yes, but also not.....because well its TASMANIA, i despise it there, it makes me emotionally sick.
BUT then lots of loves live there so it is worth it.

anyway enough from me, goodnite

a GREAT nights sleep.

so last nite i had the BEST SLEEP.
yesterday while shopping we decided to finaly treat outselves and get some decent bed sheets, i wanted egyptian cotton as they feel sooooooooo nice.
anyway upon seing they were $199 i thought hmmmmmmm no way can buy so much more with that.
then ayesha the great bargain shopper that she is spotted some marked down to, $58.99!!!
well we just couldnt not buy them at that price, thats like a quarter of the price
it came with TWO fitted sheets, and 4 pillowcases so we can have a spare for the spare room for our visitors to sleep in luxury like us LOL

they are so silky and soft, and ahhh i could stay in bed all day.

today im not upto much, i have a few things to list for my mum on ebay, then make a few more invites for dads birthday...i love making them its just when u make ALOT of them its getting boring, and i want to play around on other things.

its also a cyber crop weekend, so ill hopefuly be able to go in that!!!! :D

i bought a whole heap of primas last nite on usa ebay they were just so cheap, in bags of like 100 for a dollar, and miss di got in on the action so cant wait to get them in the post :D

xx

A shopping spree...

So today, ayesha got her loan from centrelink (thanks government funding!!!)
so we were able to finaly get our new vacuume cleaner,
now i know i sound like the worlds biggest NERD when i say i actually got excited over it!!!
and upon bringing it home this arvo, and testing it out, i love it.
it works AWESOME and it really SUCKS haha..so to speak.
Its so powerfull that it makes the lights flash when i turn it on!!!

another awesome purchase we got was a BRAND NEW PRINTER!!! yay finally!!!!
it is the canon mp460 photo printer
its so awesome that you dont even need to connect the comp to it to print.
u can plug the card in, pick the photos on the lil screen the print.
super cool!!!!
u can even print off mobile phones which is pretty cool considering both ayesha and i have pic phones!!
havnt tested that yet so ill see how we go!!!




and well while we had the spare cash we got a few little other goodies.
some toys for our fur babies, a little treat ball, a door hanging mouse, and a new food bowl, the girls ADORED them especially the mouse, i LOVE watching these 2 play!!!!!
i got the cutest scarf thing, its RED with skulls all over it, its so cute ill wear it lots i think.

ayesha got some random things, to make her happy also including a new billabong cap hat, its so cute like a grandpa hat, she looks cute.

alot of other purchases made the day great, new stuf is always fun :D i didnt buy one scrap item which is very weird for me...

and now, after one day the money is gone, but at least we have a new PRINTER to print up some pics for scrapping :D

Sunflowers

Isnt this flower just gorgeous?? Its so bright, sunny and cheerfull.
And today the weather is just that also, so its a great day to get it lol.
Ayesha bought me home this gorgeous flower, as a little cheer up present, shes always so thouhtfull and kind like that, such a beautiful soul she has.
I remember when we first started living together, she would bring me home flowers all the time, just because, they were always so beautiful, i love fresh flowers around the house.
Now that we have moved, its not as easy to get to the florist, i mean at the old place it was walking distance, now its a bus away.
But she still manages to suprise me, and cheer me up, and it worked.
made my day!
dont know why i deserve her, and her generous ways, but im happy i have her :)

And another


I did this page today.
Feeling a bit crap i thought id scrap to take my mind off things.
it always works, which is why i think i love scrapping so much!!

With mothers day coming closer, im missing my nan alot, its my first mothers day without her and the first one in years i havnt been down to her place to give her a small present and card.
she was so cute, and i just miss alot of things about her..

anyway no thinking of that right now!!!
here is my latest page, its my little baby daughter cat sui, reaching for the stars :)
