Monkey off his back!

Morning beautiful people,

So school holidays are here in NSW and my plans are simple...plenty of park play for the younger kids and hopefully plenty of scrapping for me and working out....the muffin top is back and I really want it gone by summer...grrr! winter you are so unkind on many levels...

   Meanwhile in hubbyland.....


   Roy and the two eldest sons (Alex,21 and Rhys 19), are on the adventure of a lifetime. They are riding mountain bikes across Australia...YES!
 They are riding some 3500 kms across our great land...
Their journey began in Narromine, NSW on Sunday 25th September.
The Plan: to ride at least 175 kms per day for 3 weeks.

 When I first met Roy back in 1988 he had dreams of doing this journey, but hey I sort of came onto the scene and .....cough!....cough!.....8 children happened.
 He has had some experience with long distance bike rides.....riding from Sydney to Melbourne the year we met. It's so fabulous that Alex and Rhys have joined him for his (monkey off his back), mammoth ride.


Roy, Alex and Rhys




Two of the bikes fitted with homemade trailers for the great distances they need to travel, with fresh water needing to be carried .




And away they GO!!!
My biggest worry, TRUCKS and snakes....hmmm (just don't think about it Kim??)

 Now I have been scrapping quite a bit but I just can't share at the mow....

So sorry but I will so share as soon as I can...

Oh Yeah!
 All Royal Subjects of CRAFTQUEEN should so be excited for October.....hehehe!

I shall inform you all in due course of a very special ROYAL celebration in the next few days....Way exciting let me tell YOU!!!!
Have to go, the gym is calling my muscles to workout...and feel the BURN.
Keep Happy and Scrappy

Good Stuff

 Hello..hello, wow it's been a busy week.

School performance "The Week That Was", for Sidney and McKenzie...they did so well McKenzie was the narrator for the first act..Possum Magic, he almost made me cry...just so cute and gorgeous....and made my chest puff-up...(so proud!)
 Sidney's performance was also excellent...she's a born actress I tell you..
It was without doubt one of the best infant/primary productions I've been to.

I have been creating but I can only show you a few sneaks at this stage...

Some little rose buds made from Satin Seam Binding from Craftqueen .

Some layers and beautiful paper flowers & MME pp.

 Reporter- Gertrude Goes (Sidney)

And a card I made with some handmade flowers using MME pp-Sunshine, which is totally awesome.
I love...love...love twine at the moment and love this colour of Satin Seam Binding..sigh...big love and how awesome is that CRAFTQUEEN butterfly (gorgeous)!!!
         Thanks for stopping bye, hope you have a very awesome weekend, whatever you have planned

Keep Happy

Sneakiness :0)

Have to show you guys a little sneak of what I've been working on. I'm so loving the MME 6x6 Sunshine pad...yumm! (as if you don't already know), anywho...

and Satin Seam Binding is pretty darn good to work with...and the colours it comes in are just plain....awesome
 Pop over to Craftqueen and look through Nicole's awesome range of great products.

  Bit excited about having a layout in this months Scrapbooking Memories Mag.

So many scrappy friends in one place and was sooo Happy to have my layout put next to such talent as Cathy Cafun.... still pinching myself.

My way talented daughter Madison (13), has been doing a bit of drawing of late so thought I'd show you her latest...

  I have 5 kiddies at home today due to teacher's strike here in NSW. It's a beautiful day...sun is shining so we are heading off to one of our local parks and meeting up with Kaila, Emily, Roxanne, Akasha, Gemma and Charlie...get the kids out in the fresh air...think I'll take the Nikon and get some pic's.

  Hope it's sunny in your part of the world...better go and get some chores done

Until next post......cheerio
