Merry Christmas

Wishing everyone out in blog land a very Merry Christmas.

I found a great blog.....

I have finally got around to getting sure cuts a lot and I faound this great blog for obtaining SVG files. The person who creates these files is very clever.

December challenges at Chook scraps.

I have managed to get a couple more of the challenges completed at chookscraps. The first layout is for one of the sketches (sketch #1) that Susan created and the second layout is challenge #1, we were required to use the unofficial colours for Christmas - blue, white and silver.
Only 3 more challenges to complete, which I hope to do plus the CC challenges.....

December challenges at Chook scraps.

I have managed to have a bit of a productive weekend at the scrapping table. I have completed 3 of the December challenges at Chook scraps I thought it was a good effort seeing as it is only the begining of December.

Challenge #2

in honour of the Christmas star, lets make the gallery shine! Glimmermist, glitter, bling even dimensional magic.



Challenge #3

as a nod to wrapped presents, I'd like to see layering on a page - I'd like you to layer 3 different things - layering flowers and pp won't count this time. I'm thinking stamping, glimmermist, rubons, or a ghost shape, a leaf or a bling swirl.



Challenge #4

scrap a highlight of 2009. To be fair to Taylor and Hamish I will also be doing a highlight layout on them as well.

Celebrating my Nan's 90th birthday

On Sunday we celebrated my Nan's 90th birthday. She has done well to reach this great milestone. In the photo are Lyn and Robert (her son and daughter in law), Michelle, Sean and Josh (Robert and Lyn's younger daughter, her husband Sean and their son Josh, their 2nd child is due any day now) and the remaining member are Craig, Brandon, Taylor, Hamish and myself.

I think the last time that we had a family photo taken was way back in 1990....

A couple of layouts from the weekend

What else do you when is hot.....Scrap.....This weekend I have managed to complete a couple more challenges for the monthly challenges at chook scraps. The gallery is looking pretty good as well so if you would like to have a look at the gallery I can certainly recommend it.

Hopefully today will be last of our hot days for a few days......It is forecast to be 40......Brandon is currently down at AAMI stadium in the new Crows facility having fitness tests, agility, height, weight etc. The SANFL asks each club to pick players who could be considered for a state squad. The results of the test will show Brandon what areas he needs to improve to give the best chance of playing football at the elite level.

Keep cool and have a great day.

A little strange.......

Today all three children went off to school together as Hamish has his transition visit at Gleeson today. It has felt rather strange all week as I have not had to take or pick up Brandon and Taylor as Brandon is now on his P's. I have to say it has been great.

Today is also Brandon's last officail day of year 11, tomorrow he has a study day, exams next week and then two transition days for year 12 and then he is on holidays.

Keep cool.
