I have been scrapping madly

My beautiful Mum at around 20 years old

Okay I know it has been a while but I have been very busy doing scrapping and I finally gave up on the scanner to load photos and took DHs digital SLR instead. He might need to hide it - I love this camera!!

So this is Love (MWAH)
I am really loving this Fancy Pants papers at the moment
This was from our trip away...... North Queensland

Once we worked out how to use the camera without the flash going off - it ruined the first lot of photos I uploaded it was all good once we had that figured out!!. And made it so easy.....so here I am still in my nightie - don't tell anyone - at 4pm in the afternoon loading photos!!

I used photographers proofs - but I love them

So I scrapped yesterday with the lovely Kristin and Jenny and we had lots of fun. I competed 8 layouts then and I went home and did another 6 - so that is great

A couple of cockies who visit us waiting for their servant (Phil) to feed them
they have it all worked out that is for sure!

Well I know this is a bit silly but I thought it was kind of sweet.
Your couldn't set up a photo like this if you tried
The journalling says
'When you feel surrounded by life's problems,
Hold your head up high, and
Soon they will fly away!

I have ordered 3 more albums from LSBS so I can continue - now my albums don't fit into the bookcase anymore how sad is that.

The gorgeous Marg - she is so delightful
At a recent scrapping retreat
Looking forward to seeing her again in August!

I have also decided what I am going to do with Mr Rudds stimulus package - I am going to redo the scrap room!. It has become a computer/scrap/studio and I am jammed in too smaller area! Oh and I am a messy thing too - so - I am getting rid of the desk, putting tables all round, and lots and lots of storage!.......... thinking practical and Ikea!

My Dad...... at 9 months old
A bonny baby!

The sheds have gone up at Scribbly Gums - we have storage and will be taking some stuff out there to free up a bit of space here - fantastic! Then I can get my scrapping / art space underway. Phil will also lose the queen size bed in his studio which will be great - it is up against the wall - but it takes up a fair bit of space none the less.

This Guy - Matt my son
Moving day into his new home
Love this photo - he doesn't let me photograph him too often
He must have been tired and didn't care!

Jess and Matt on moving day - they are so great
Worked so hard and got there in the end

Thanks for sharing these with me.......
Love
