                    WELL DONE ROYCE

Creative or not so Creative

Well girls - please take no offence 2 comments in this post in regards to Creative Memories, I know I know they were the beginning of our whole Scrapbooking world but PLEASE, out of good faith and for a dear friend I attended a Creative Memories party on Sunday. For me personnaly it was a total wasted day of great scrapbooking that could have been had at home. We payed $10.00 to do do two pages for that $10.00 we got the choice of two cardboard strips and two cardboard triangles, not very generous.

My pages are below and beileve me this is all I could do with what I was given, I added chalk to one of them and was told that I should not really be adding chalk :0 ( 

um naughty me!!!

Anyone it was a relief to get back to my beloved Scrap Studio lol & back to lumpy bumpy!!! bright pages.

another one bites the dust

Well I have just finished some CJ pages for the KSK CJ Group I am in - this was the quickest one ever, I am trying to restrict myself to not being so lumpy bumpy and I can assure you it was very hard :0(. These pages are for Karen hope you like them Karen!

TOO MUCH STUFF!!!

Okay Okay I am the first to admit that I have way too much Scrap Stuff, I spend the good part of today just cleaning up.

I just love my scrap space though, what I know refer to as my Scrap Studio (does sound good) was once part of our garage. David actually had his boxing bad and tools etc in there. I cam up with this brain one Sunday afternoon that hey I am taking over our office and that I needed my own space. Well you should have seen the look on my husband face, he went out to the farm for a few hours and by the time he had got back I had taken all his gear out and painted the concrete floor (I know you are thinking concrete floor - can't work) but I had other plans :).

David arrived home and I quickley blurted out my plans poor David I don't think he had the heart to tell me no. Anyhow that was about 12months ago and now here it is.........

                                                                                                                                                

mind you I have decided this is the best it will ever be, I am a messy scrapbooker, and I don't think it will ever be spotless or in order.

It is great spot it has a large timber sliding door that looks out to the driveway and there is a bit of a garden, I put an old outdoor setting there for when I want to paint and make big messes. I have an old wrought iron chair for a bit of decor I think it looks good. Oh and my stainless steel workshop bench cupboard thingy $25 at Bunnings looks fab with the little denim boxes I picked up at Bag a Bargain for $5 bucks I have used my dymo to label the contents.

I quite like wrought iron so I have displayed my paints in a stand and nailed it to the wall, the little white cupboard you can see is an olde bedside table drawer, and the big cupboard with all my mags and the 2 black binders which I keep all the mags I have been lucky to be published in, I actually picked up at a second hand store and I repainted it in Suede effects paint a moss green colour. The walls are my favourite colour combo Brown and Pink and my carpet is just a beige colour. The big timber cupboard is an old bar from our Pub at Redfern it is great cupboard space,

All in all I love and this is were I spend most of my time.

SNOW TRIP

On Sunday the kids and I along with my nan, mum, brother and his girlfriend and my sister and her family headed up to the Selwyn Snowfields. The trip was a day out to celebrate my brothers birthday. Lucas considers himself a bit of a snowman (yeah right) lol :0) anyhow we had a great day and the kids had an absolute ball on the snow tubes, must admit so did I. The kids are at me now to take them back it was such a great day. Yes Yes I have some photo's of the day :0). Enjoy!!!
