hooray

Finally I can put these up...these are from a competition I entered here for Crafty Originals... I had to come up with a single and a double page ...and they are on display at Paperific in Melb and on Chandon craft blog.

In the pic you can't really see what I've done with the bubble bath corner piece... it's covered in kindy glitz and has dimensional magic in the centers of the bubbles. On the word 'bubble bath' I've used a stamp that was supplied

On the cheeky monkey page...I've painted the word and monkeys...but covered the word in dimensional magic..

all Items were supplied by Chandon Craft and Crafty Originals

Just spent some of the day at a friends house...she's bought her twins a 16' round trampoline...it's bloody huge...it took 4 of us about 2.5 hours to put it together...with a short coffee break inbtween...It came with the padding and net and ladder...her kids are going to love it.

We went camping at Torrumbarry on the Murray over Easter with some friends, Torrumbarry is about a 15-20 minute drive from Echuca. The weaterh was hot..and dry...and there were sooooooo many freakin' flies.

Everything was covered in dust and smelt of smoke...so I've lots of washing to do. Eric got bit by 3 bull ants ...he was standing on a chip that they were snacking on..lucky we had some ice and tea tree oil with us.

The mud looked a green colour when it was smeared all over the kids faces...and it actually stained their skin ...it sort of looks like a fake tan...lol..some of their clothes are stained from it too.

This is where we were camping....there's me in the red top...sitting on my arse..

this is where the kids were swimming...there were steps cut out...in the dirt all the way down to the water..

Billie formally known as Bilbo...laid 2 eggs in 3 days...this is the 2nd one... how tiny is it !!.... the next day I was out shopping and found some candy coated eggs...(they were brownish) but the same size...and decided to trick David...he was somewhere else in the house and I yelled out to him...oh look another egg...and he came to look and I said to him I wonder what would happen if I did this....and threw the egg into my mouth...the look on Davids face was priceless.....it was like eww what the heck are you doing you stupid old woman.

some chilli I made the other week.....in my new pan from 'chef's toolbox' (pictured with out the lid)... (this is about a kilo of mince)

I'm thinking I need the utensils to go with this..

We've been watching a show on ABC, Tuesdays at 8.30pm called Brat Camp

it's great.. it's about some british teenage girls who were adicted to drugs and/or alcohol, and were getting themselves into trouble with the law or boys.

Their parents sent them to this camp in the USA where they are taken out into the wilderness and have to complete set tasks and detox at the same time, they learn to work as a team and talk about their feelings to the camp leaders.

The camp has a 85% success rate...what a great job they are doing.
