A Quick share today...

I have been working on some new DT layouts or Anna's Craft Cupboard the last week or so and found I've created quite a few, so I thought I'd share some.
Anna sent me the new Crate papers. Some of the best papers I've played with in a while. Very me and very easy to scrap with!!

Here's 2 layouts using the Bliss range...Oh, and plenty of glimmer mist on the first one.
I think I'm in love with this stuff!!!!

It's Friday and I'm looking forward to the weekend.
Not a lot planned, but with a couple of busy weekends ahead, I'm happy with that!

Jase and I just watched "Confessions of a Shopaholic" on DVD. What a funny movie, with a happy ending of course! Love those chick flicks!!

Here's today's pic...a black and white for a change!



Have a good weekend!

Another fabulous night with Adam Brand...

I never get tired of seeing him sing.
On Sunday night we went to Twin Towns on the QLD/NSW border and had a fabulous time. We arrived around 3pm and headed downstairs to have a few drinks with friends. So nice to sit, chat and catch up with what's going on. Back to the hotel room to get ready before enjoying some dinner, then heading to the show for a 7.30pm start.

The support act was Liam Brew and Sam Hawksley, who both did a few songs each and one together. Liam Brew was the 2009 Tamworth Starmaker winner, so we saw him perform in Tamworth. A very young new star on the scene, while Sam Hawksley actually plays in Adam Brand's band, but is a solo artist as well.

Then the man himself came on stage. Nearly 2 hrs of songs, laughs, a few stories, a dance with Jade and of course some crowd participation. Gotta love that!!
I love seeing him sing, and we've introduced a few friends to his music. We took Barney the other night...more a rock'n'roller, but he loved the show and his music. I think I've converted another one!! LOL
He was heading out to buy his latest album this week!
Maybe Adam should be paying me comission??? Haha

Here's some snaps from the show...







And of course, who can go to a show and not line up for a happy snap!!
Here's me and my good buddy Gypsy with Adam!



I even got a pic with Jade...his dance partner and new girlfriend!
She's just as gorgeous in real life!



Yet another fabulous night out...to let our hair down, have a few drinks, catch up with friends and see an awesome performer. I had a blast!

Happy Halloween

It's Halloween!!!
Zac and Ella are right into it this year!
They have been nagging me to buy some decorations, so we did. Although, note to self...Get them before the week leading up to Halloween, as the selection is slightly limited.We still had fun anyway!

The kids went to our neighbours and said "Trick or Treat". Not sure who was more excited, the kids or our neighbours kids, who are 14 and 12. They wanted to dress up too.
Ella went as a Hula girl...a change from the ninja turtle she was yesterday for the Kindy Halloween party. Zac was a pirate and totally his own collaboration! (hehe)

So, we decorated our front door with a huge spider, put up skeletons, skulls and some pumpkins that we lit tonight. I think Halloween might be in our Calendar to saty, for a little while, anyway!

Here's some pics...Here they are eating their treats!







How was your Halloween?

The last friday in October!!
Not long til Christmas now. I'm starting my Christmas shopping this week. I think I have to...Zac only has a month left of school? How did that happen??

Today was the Halloween Dress Up day at Kindy.
Ella has been talking about this for weeks. She has been set on wearing Zac's Ninja Turtle Outfit...Raphael of course! It's a little long in the legs, so we had to roll them up.
Here she is as we were walking out the door.



The girls at Kindy thought she looked fabulous!

It's my turn for this week's Challenge in Scrap n Craft with T's "Embellish This" competition. The entries have been fantastic.
Congratulations to the girls that made it through to this week.

You can play along if you like.
All the details can be found on Tan's blog.

Here's my layout...



and a close up...



We have plenty going on this weekend, with Halloween tomorrow night. This year Zac and Ella are right into it, so we are decorating our front door tomorrow. They can't wait! I'll share some pics soon.

Then, Jase and I are off to Twin Towns with some friends to see Adam Brand on Sunday night...I can't wait! Yeehaa!

Here's me today...



Have a good weekend!

It's raining....finally!

It's raining here today.
It's so nice to see the rain after so long without it.
The lawn is brown, with a tinge of green after a big storm here on Monday night. Lots of thunder and lightening and tons of rain. I'm sure the tanks around Brisbane are full again. It sure was a downpour and we've had another big downpour just at lunchtime.
We may be mowing our dead brown grass before long??

Just thought I'd share and let you know I'm still around!

That time of the week again.
Friday once again!

I've had a busy day at work, then swimming lessons for Zac straight after school, before the Kindy pickup! It's been hectic, to say the least!

Here's today's pic...



This weekend is Scrapchat's Trash and Treasure weekend.
It's an auction site with crafty goods, new and old...and some handmade things too!
I have a heap of Chelley Bean uploaded ready for sale. The action starts at 4am tomorrow morning.

You can find the site here.
Pop by and see what's on offer. You might even grab a bargain or two!

Anyway...I'm tired, so I'm off to bed!
Night all!
