Scraproom!

Just bought some awesome 3m hooks yesterday at the suggestion of the hubby to hang my thickers in the cupboard of our study. What a brillant idea it was as it saves space and has also helped me to realise what a ton of thickers I have and that it's time to STOP buying until I've used up some of them. The problem I've always had is that I feel I should save them and use them sparingly and now ..viola! I have so many of them that I can't wait to get rid of!

While I was at it, I decided to take some photos of my scarp area and post it up here for your viewing pleasure....Here goes....



The other small overhanging cupboard I have..

Full view of my cupboards and my stash!



I leave on Thursday for my holiday..will be back after that for more posting..
have a good holiday everyone!

Long post ahead!

Apologies for the lack of updates - H was away on reservist and I couldn't get him to take photos but we managed to get some photos tonight so here I am posting on a sunday night. I resolve to learn how to use his camera so I don't need to depend on him!

Ok, first up is a photo of me and little plum. She's adorable right? In her cool sunnies!


Now for some scrapping galore of the stuff I've been up to this hols. 2 'K's for a colleague and a good friend's baby shower. This one uses scenic route Garden Glove as the base paper and plenty of OA goodness for the embellishements.




2nd 'K' for Kyler..Windran's baby. Haven't got to see him yet as we missed the shower but we'll get it to him soon!






Supplies: Base paper - Cosmo Cricket's Girl Friday and OA paper for the Trees and apples. Animals and mushrooms are from Imagniasce. Lovely line they have here man!

Next on the list is something I wanted to do for a long time since I first saw cosmo's The Boyfriend line and these nice laundry lines really called out to me to craft something for my laundry area. I've not got a frame yet so it's still not on our laundry area but Wed I'll get a frame from Laines. Hope it is a hint to the SO to do the laundry for me!!



Last post of the day is from a class I did at Paper Market..really good promotion cos we had $35 off the class and only paid $33 for this awesome box. LOVE IT HEAPS!!






Thanks for looking! Have a good week everyone. Will be back soon with more posts, depending on what I'm inspired to do next. But I promise I'll get down to some crafting this week! God Bless!

Wed morning

I'm at home on a wed morning with all the other SAHM and people who don't need to work for a living! It still amazes me each time I go out on such a day and meet so many other people who really don't have to toil and have money to spend! I so wanna join the club!

The workmen are coming this afternoon to create a little havoc and unrest to my neighbours (SORRY!!) to do up our kitchen and study room. H and me managed to clean out the kitchen and the study last night to prepare for their arrival. We're not looking forward to the mess and incessant drilling but we figured that we'll be pleased with the end results so we decided to go ahead with it.

Will post photos of the new room and kitchen after it's done or better still, we'll get you over soon to see it in person!

Have a good day!
I'm loving my stay home days!

Natalie!

Made this over the past week for a good friend's new born baby. During one of our conversations, she mentioned that she really liked what Lia did for some of her projects and I thought it'll be nice to do something similar for her baby. She had a difficult pregnancy so I thought this would cheer her up!

H is really busy with work now and so i resorted to using my Casio camera to snap some shots to load the photos up since I'm so pleased that I've finished this project. Will find time to visit her next week..so Fern, if you're reading this, you'll get to see Natalie's present before I actually give it to you!! :)




Close ups:






The letter 'L' is favourite piece...H voted for it too. How about you?

No photos this time. Sorry!

Apologies for the 'no photo post' as I've not taken many pics lately due to my busy schedule. Marking season has descended upon us again and this time, it's threatening to blow up my brains and my sanity with 12 classes of the exact same thing to mark. I've never marked this sheer amount of scripts at any one time before so it's a new challenge for me. For the record, I'm 8 classes down and left with 4 more. argh.....

On a happier note, it's a holiday tomorrow so maybe i'll pull off some time to scrap (i need my sanity!) and i'm really itching to get down to some crafting. Have a project in mind to use up (ALL!) my cosmo love earth papers before nutmeg comes along. NUTMEG, I can't wait for u to arrive!

H is out at Queensway to buy trekking shoes so I'm home alone with my marking. I'm taking a break so decided to blog a short post.

Will be back after the marking is over!
Have a good weekend!

Cosmo goodness!

Managed to get photos of my latest project to upload with the help of H and his super duper (expensive) camera. Since he's into photography now, he's become my official camera man and is more than happy to take photos of my projects for me to post online!

First up: Gift for a colleague's birthday..who's also my boss. A very nice one too. :) It's a little name piece for her to display!



Next up: A mini album for aunt Monica and her family to thank her for her help and generosity during my recent wedding. She didn't want to take our ang pow so I thought I'll make her something that she can put her family photos in. The pages on the left are empty for her to put in her own photos!

Cover Page: (Minus the word 'Family' that i'm supposed to glitter and put on but I'm afraid it'll dirty my floor so I'll do it last!)


Inside pages:







That's all for now, I've to go cook dinner but I'll be mindful to update my blog more often!

Back!

Apologies to my frequent blog readers that I've been away for so long. I really do not have a habit of updating my blog regularly, mostly cos I am not a big photographer and I do feel the need to post some photos when I update my blog!

I still have no photos of now but will be back with some of my lastest work in my next post!
