been busy

Making christmas tags and cards.... the tags were inspired by Marieke vermelens cards in the 'cards and crafts for christmas' magazine....just have to add some ribbon to the tags...and these were made with scraps of card and a rubon or stamps... I think they actually do look better IRL ..IYKWIM

saw a 'hoppy christmas' card in the above said magazine...which inspired me to to this one..

I know black isn't tradionally a christmasy colour but...I like the way this turned out...have you seen the black and silver decos in the stores.....I think they'd look great on a white tree...we used to have a white tree many years ago.

There was no feasting on Friday...due to the host having a break..

stuff about stuff

Coby's ATC challenge this week was chirstmas 'anticipation'
the scans a bit off..... I sewed on this one... ok I glued too but I did do some sewing.
This one was fun, thanks Coby.

Was sorting through my links...and while looking at this one found this and this....lol

I've been doing a bit more christmas shopping...2 more down...hoorah.!!

I picked up a copy of girl stuff the other day ...thinking that it would be ok for a certain somone that's having a birhtday soon...I think mostly it is a very good informative book.....but.... I'm a bit worried about the subject of oral sex...in it....I'm really not keen on her reading about that just yet I don't think...maybe I could give it to her with a seeled section....lol..like a Dolly magazine...

Nah...I think maybe it can sit in the cupboard for awhile til she's a bit older.

*EDITED to add *

...a link to this.....I sooooo can't wait for this to come out....the back cover has a picture of the Gershwin Room...where it was filmed...and the list of songs...

Roll on 1st Dec

cards

Em and I went to a Christmas card making night at Melissas on Saturday and made 5 each of these two cards..

The first one, the strings are stamped onto white card.... the baubles are stamped in coloured inks onto a scrap piece of card and then cut out and dipped in glitter. The baubles are mounted on mounting tape to make them three dimensional.

The second card the tree was stamped onto one piece of card the brads were put in certain spots..this was then glued to the next piece of card

Em also made the cuteste bag filled with lollies from an envelope.. would show you but ...the camera... ohh which reminds me because it isn't working...I figured I couldn't stuff it anymore than what it is....so I pulled it apart last night..lol.....and it bit me... yes I got a bit of a zapp from it....the bastard thing.

Are you the proud owner of a furbaby.... I know some of you are !!
Well not sure if you know about this ...but I just read about it in the paper...
'Mydogspace'... which promted me to search for yes you guessed it Mycatspace I wonder if Sofi would like a catspace???

oohhh and what's the deal with flies....why do they land on your face?...what's so special there...
I tried to google this but couldn't find anything...

one more thing... my sister sent me a link to this blog....Kathryn you might like this one I think..

Now I'm off clothes shopping with Em.

Christmas is coming....

I've nearly finished shopping for the boys...I have hardly anything for Em and her birthday is a week before Christmas...so I got her to write me a bit of a list...so then the boys had to follow suit (not knowing that I have their pressies)

Ems list had McLeods Daughters season 2, Rat a too eee( game ), a chair, money and GI Jockey( game)
Erics list has, phone credit, family guy season 6, zelda twilight princess (game), and membership for a game he plays online.
Daves list has Viva la Bam 2&3, Bams unholy union, SK8 wheels and other cool stuff ..
lmao

I'm decorating one of those cute Kaiser stars at the moment (one like Ngaire did)
I've decorated a pen holder for Ems teacher for Christmas... I can't take a picture because my camera is dying...or dead..it appears to be working...with out the use of the LCD screen...but...when I plugged it in to the USB port to upload the photos....NOTHING all the thumbnails were black....this is really really sad ... what am I going to do for Christmas...sigh...looks like I'll have to pull out the old slr.

oh I had a go at making some inchies...they were a bit of fun ..it was for a challenge on Aussie Stampers

Just bought the new super Food Ideas with the yummo looking ice cream cake on the cover....and if you flip the magazine ...its got a bonus Christmas booklet.

So I'm sitting reading..and did you know that if you burn meat, chicken and fish on the bbq you can create cancer producing substances... !

Last week I heard that if you leave a bottle of water in the car...the sun/heat does something to the bottle and that leaks stuff into your water...which of course can have cancer producing substances .. I do this all the time..

Basically I think we're fucked.

Tonight we're off to the club ...trying to win $2000...ohh that would buy me a new camera... with change... ka ching..

Tomorrow night I'm off to Melissas for a SU card making night... I hope that I don't get lost..lol.

I finally finished my Gold Coast album..hooray ! next on the list to get up to date is the house album..



We've had rain...!! we had about 60 mls in about 30 hours...

Our water tank had 350 litres in it...and by the time the rain stopped it was full ....1000 litres...which is good.

The rain has caused some flooding on the main roads around...which can be a bit of a pain.



Awww little Lucy (our friends cat) gave birth to 3 little kittens the other day...once they were all clean and dried...there was 1 grey, 1 black and white and 1 black.....I got there in time to see the black one being born... :)
