Busy Bee

Well school holidays are in full swing here.

So scrapping has to be done at night since that is the only "Mummy time" I get when Rhyley is home from school.

We have been hanging out home mainly because it has been raining, raining, raining!

We did have a few days of sunshine but the rain clouds quickly
took over again but there is no point in complaining 'cause no-one listens ;)

The good thing about all this rain means the dams are filling up
though which is great news!

Anyway I have been one busy bee of late and managed to scrap a few pages this week

Here they are for you to check out:

So that is 4 pages down and 48 to go for the year! Hey who knows I may even get more done then I have planned for!

Until next time,

Happy 2011!

Happy New Year to all!
Hoping your 2011 brings many wonderful things your way!

This year I have decided to change my tactic to getting my scrap pages done.
Simply because I don't have the time to do a page a day and for now it is seriously unrealistic to try it again, I have decided to do a Project 52 instead!

My Project 52 will consist of at least one layout a week obviously for 52 weeks ;)
Hopefully I can complete this task I may post them weekly or sometimes monthly it will depend on the free time I have.

So wish me luck and maybe I'll surpass the goal of 52 layouts this year!
Happy New Year again

Until next time

Merry Christmas!

Well it has been a while since I last blogged but honestly that seems
like the theme here of late.

We are heading off to Ballina for Christmas today so I won't around
until New Years!
I want to say Merry Christmas all! May you all be safe and happy
this festive season and enjoy your time with family or friends.
Eat, drink and be MERRY!

Before I head off I will leave you with the latest layouts I've done but
been too lazy to post.

Well until 2011,

Happy Birthday to Me!

Is what I should have been posting like two months ago.
My goodness I have become so incredibly slack at updating my blog and even slacker when it comes to doing any digital scrapbooking.
Yes that's right I celebrated my birthday in September, Spring sprung,Halloween flew on by and Christmas is almost upon us!


My last post I promised to stop neglecting my blog and what do I do?
Go and neglect even more than before!
So hopefully we can get some balance around here and I can get back into the swing of things with blogging and scrapping.

Well hopefully I will see you soon,

Oh How I Neglect Thee

My poor blog has been so neglected!

Since my last post so much has happened.
I finished my uni course passing the English portion and just passing Maths (which I will have to redo in Semester 3), attended the State of Origin and witnessed Queensland clench their 5 straight series win in a row, celebrated Rhyley's 8th birthday, attended Disney On Ice, we also went to Illuminate Winter Wonderland at Dreamworld and the Royal Brisbane Show (aka The Ekka) and celebrated Father's Day!

I really have to get along with this whole blog thing or otherwise it is going to end up even more neglected :(
I have hardly scraped and unfortunately doubt I will reach my goal of 365 layouts for the year so I am considering reducing it to 100 layouts for 2010 and expanding on that next year.

Anyway here are the few layouts I have managed to do since my last post:

This one for the Mixed Bag Monday Challenge #36 at Peppermint Creative

Credits can be found here

This one is of Rhyley celebrating his 8th birthday opening presents and blowing out his candles.

This one was of our Trip to Dreamworld and is photos of Rhyley playing in snow he had so much fun and even though it doesn't really snow in Queensland it is the closet Rhyley has come to the really thing :)

This is one of many baby photo's of Rhyley that I am determined to get scrapped before he's 21!

Credits can be found here

Last but not least is a layout from trip to this year's Ekka. This year we got to do things we normally wouldn't cause we would usually be there to visit Nanny & Poppy who would be working at the Ekka but this year they headed to the Northern Territory to do shows there instead. Even though we missed not seeing them we had a ball exploring this year's Ekka!

Anyway until next time,

Almost Done

Well I am almost finished doing the Tertiary Preparation Course!
I have exams over the next 2 weeks so lots of revision is needed.
I am so looking forward to it all being over and done with.
I got sick and sort of lost the motivation I had but I got through it.

Next week is going to be full on though with my first exam, going to State of Origin, Rhyley's 8th Birthday and finishing off with Disney On Ice!
It is going to be a huge week but so worth it!

So until then here are the last few layouts I have done:

Here are the credits

This one was the done for International Scrapbook Day challenge at Peppermint Creative!

The credits can be found here

After doing the Autumn layout above I decided to do a Winter layout using Rhyley's baby photos since he is a Winter baby afterall.

Credits can be found here

After going on a little (okay BIG) shopping spree at Peppermint Creative I really wanted to be able to use the Game On Papers and Elements Miss Mint had released and this photo of Rhyley screaming UNO! worked so well!

Credits can be found here

This layout was for a Mixed Bag Monday challenge at Peppermint Creative the theme was "What's In A Name"

Well that is all for now I will be back when things have calmed down a bit here hopefully it won't be too long and I will be able to get some pages done too between all the other things.

Until next time,

Hectic

Wow it has been so busy here since my last post.
I am still studying my uni course which I have exams for in 2 weeks *cringe* I am a little scared cause I haven't sat an exam since Grade 12 which was 13 years ago hopefully I don't get too nervous.

So other than studying we have been busy with school holidays, football, school and heaps more and I have even managed to scrap a bit as relaxation between assignments.
Here is what I've scrapped since last time:

Mixed Bag Monday Challenge- Extract It

Credits can be found here

This photo was taken when we went to see the Gold Coast Titans play the Melbourne Storm at Skilled Park during the Easter school holidays. We had a great time and the boys were stoked that the Titans won the game.

Credits can be found here

This layout was made using photos from Easter. We made Cascarones and before smashing them they were hidden around the yard for Rhyley to find then we all got to smash them on and over each others heads. These we so much fun we are doing it again next year!

Credits can be found here

This layout is using one of those photos you just cherish because they are so rare. Getting Jason to really smile is near impossible. And I was honoured when Miss Mint choose both this one and the one above for Mint-spirational Monday on her blog.

A Week In The Life Challenge involved creating a layout showing what you did each day for a week obviously. It was huge week filled with study, assignment results, school, Rhyley got an award for participating in the school Fun Run, a memorial service for Rhyley's school friend Steven and his brother Tim and mother Maggie Halliwell who were killed in a car accident, a trip to Ballina to visit Mum and Dad, fishing and Anzac Day.

As you can see it has been hectic around here. I have a few more layouts to post but I will have to save them for the next post.

Until next time
