 Sophie just loves being in all the photo's

Tully doing what he does best

April Scrapbook Retreat

70's dress up...

I think the word "Neglect" is the only word that comes to mind when I look at this blog....

Well I can say that I haven't been neglectful on purpose ...The shop keeps me very busy and with mums health issues, some things have taken a huge back seat....
Here are just a few pieces I've worked on.

 I also have a new addition to the family....He is very cute and fluffy....I adopted him from a rescue group call Paw's for Thought in Sydney... I had followed them for a few months on Facebook and just fell in love when I saw this sweet little face...I had never thought of a rescue dog before, but Im so glad I did....It feel like you have help in some big way....I will never buy from a pet shop again, It's rescue all the way now...

Tully

3yr old Chi

and my new cuddle buddy.....

My mother used to always say "ther were never enough hours in a day"......how true those words are now that I'm older.....and who ever said being Self employed was all fun and giggles.....
But doing what I do does have it's perks.....I have and endless supply of craft goodies....hehehe

 

And what do i like to do in my spare time..?

Well this is my hobbie

Cake Decorating....I still have a lot to learn, but it's a lot of fun.....

one for the cake, one for me, one for the cake......hehehe

This is a mini cake I did for a special gym instructor....Deb....

 

Until next time....take care

Our newest and cutest little addition....

Sophie

 In the middle at 6wks with her 2 brothers

and at14wks well and truly feeling at home.....

I can whip up a girly page in just a couple of hours, but when it comes to doing a male layout.... well that always turns into a marathon.....

I have a new toy..After all these years, I finally got myself a Score board....I'm having so much fun making cards and boxes...I hope to share more over the next few weeks as i experiment with it...
This is just one i did using the Kaisercraft Chateaus paper range...

Have a great week-end
Jody

This is my version of the Stationary Box

This was so much fun to make....Time consuming but fun...

Off the page is sooooo much fun.....I love doing layouts but this is just so much better at the moment.....Between OTP and Cardmaking....I'm having way too much fun....Helloooooo Mojo...glad to see you again....

Have a great week....

Had the best day out on the water yesterday....We took the boat out and had our first go on the Tube....Teish and Sarah were as keen as to have a go....I on the other hand had no intention on getting on but so glad that i did....i must admit it was fun....
But the best part of the day came Teish had her 2nd go.....

Here we go......this was so funny.....even she was laughing when she came off and was waiting for us to go pluck her out....

Im not getting much scrapbooking done, now we have the boat.....Ah well...the cooler weather will be here before we know it....

I'm a huge fan of English Rose from kaisercraft.....We have just done this workshop in store. I didnt have the soft green i wanted for the frame, so i used a soft pink instead.....I have since done the green and now i cant make up my mind.....

How much fun is Christmas....Im having loads of fun this year making cards and off the page projects....Some may not be presents, instead just gift ideas for the shop...but im still having a lot of fun...

I have so much more to share but just need to take some pics....
