They love pretending to be princesses, dressing in pretty flouncy dresses, wearing tiaras, bossing people around, just generally being a princess.<br /><br />So, when Elizabeth said she wanted to pretend to be Cinderella, that's what I was expecting.<br /><br />But of course my daughter won't be standard, she loves to do things all in her own way, she's really an individual...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-k1Skg6tqNfE/TiThxdBrNHI/AAAAAAAABQI/cfg8l9LIEyI/s1600/DSC_0510.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-k1Skg6tqNfE/TiThxdBrNHI/AAAAAAAABQI/cfg8l9LIEyI/s400/DSC_0510.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630873673841456242" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XUbQctCFljM/TiThw1HfRsI/AAAAAAAABQA/q_wA1SWFweo/s1600/DSC_0506.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XUbQctCFljM/TiThw1HfRsI/AAAAAAAABQA/q_wA1SWFweo/s400/DSC_0506.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630873663128422082" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AijCsJ3eg4w/TiThxm5q41I/AAAAAAAABQQ/c_BNPRzzvcQ/s1600/DSC_0515.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AijCsJ3eg4w/TiThxm5q41I/AAAAAAAABQQ/c_BNPRzzvcQ/s400/DSC_0515.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5630873676492235602" border="0" /></a><br />Elizabeth's interest in Cinderella was more about doing the washing! So she got a lesson in how to take the dry washing out of the dryer, transfer the clean washing out of the machine and into the dryer and then turn it on, pop a load into the washing machine, pour in a scoop of powder, select the correct temperature and water levels and get the machine going.<br /><br />She then swept the floor and wiped up a couple of dirty spots with a wet wipe.<br /><br />Now, if only she'd keep her room clean in the same way!!! :DYilluphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07833817323255477151noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217469102904379693.post-56796054315628664862011-07-18T19:19:00.003+10:002011-07-19T11:34:06.911+10:00Rainbow-y YumminessWell, I guess you've all figued out by now that a weekly photo of myself just isn't going to happen regularly!

At least this time it has been taken during the daylight hours! If you look carefully you can spot the 3 year old chubby legs of Phillip on the lounge. They're having a bit of a TV day today because it's been raining on and off... They've also been doing heaps of drawing at the moment. You can't see it, but the coffee table behind me has a big box of pencils and their little notebooks which are rapidly being filled with drawing after drawing!Yilluphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07833817323255477151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217469102904379693.post-69072540713812568752011-01-21T23:52:00.002+11:002011-01-21T23:53:15.732+11:002nd Friday Self Portrait<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/TTmBj3NS9jI/AAAAAAAABOU/eAPDTz9E9DE/s1600/2011-01-21%2B23-50-54.646.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/TTmBj3NS9jI/AAAAAAAABOU/eAPDTz9E9DE/s400/2011-01-21%2B23-50-54.646.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564621267708081714" border="0" /></a><br />Week 2 of my weekly webcam shot!

The kids get to stay up late, we get to see the prettiness, and sometimes people are collecting for charities too.<br /><br />It was sooo funny this year now that Phillip's talking a little more. He just about went crazy every time he saw a slight flicker of lights! I think he got excited at some porch lights at times!

I'm sorry the photos aren't too great. I still haven't had the flash fixed on my camera, so I had to make use of ambient light. Which at night isn't too much!<br /><br />Did you look at lights leading up to Christmas? Maybe you put lights out yourself. Let me know!Yilluphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07833817323255477151noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217469102904379693.post-68527878116729693822010-12-28T19:19:00.005+11:002010-12-28T20:31:23.314+11:00The post dedicated to gingerbread houses...OK, so I have a thing for photos. I apologise in advance for the photo overload, but I guess if you're reading my blog you're probably interested in my life, so I guess I then retract my apology...<br /><br />So this Christmas seems to have been the Christmas of the gingerbread houses. I bought a couple of house kits from IKEA at the end of last year after Christmas with the idea that I could make them this year with the kids (I of course checked their use-by dates! LOL). But then I was invited to the church's gingerbread house making afternoon. I couldn't turn that opportunity down! I did one a few years ago when we were at Ryde and it was soooo much fun! So off I went and made a house there with all the prettiness of cool lollies and cellophane and curling ribbon and friendly friends to make it with.<br /><br />But what to do with the 2 kits I had left over?<br /><br />Why, let the kids go mental of course!<br /><br />So one day we had Alyssa and Stella (and their mum Rachael) coming over, so we planned to have a gingerbread house making day! We stocked up on lollies like M&Ms and Skittles and licorice allsorts and snakes, etc... I made heaps of royal icing, and away we went!<br /><br />I haven't included the photos of Rachael and her kids cause even though she said it was fine to put them on Facebook, putting them out there on a blog is a different thing, so better to be safe than sorry! So you'll have to put up with photos of my kids instead! :D<br /><br />The icing was a big hit - it got eaten straight out of the zip-loc bag piping bags...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/TRmf3MolDyI/AAAAAAAABLU/sGOj2lAsOXE/s1600/DSC_0671.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/TRmf3MolDyI/AAAAAAAABLU/sGOj2lAsOXE/s400/DSC_0671.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555647385971265314" border="0" /></a><br />Phillip was an expert at creating big enormous piles of icing all over the place...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/TRmf23oWATI/AAAAAAAABLM/8xOg5ysvjK8/s1600/DSC_0660.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/TRmf23oWATI/AAAAAAAABLM/8xOg5ysvjK8/s400/DSC_0660.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555647380333134130" border="0" /></a><br />Elizabeth and Phillip's creation...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/TRmf3UZU8RI/AAAAAAAABLc/RQMBx2fhZUs/s1600/DSC_0677.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/TRmf3UZU8RI/AAAAAAAABLc/RQMBx2fhZUs/s400/DSC_0677.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555647388054778130" border="0" /></a><br />Alyssa, Stella and Rachael's creation (Rachael did a good job of making it look a bit more organised than my kids' one!)...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/TRmf3s9K9KI/AAAAAAAABLk/Wxc5kZ29wPM/s1600/DSC_0680.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/TRmf3s9K9KI/AAAAAAAABLk/Wxc5kZ29wPM/s400/DSC_0680.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555647394647569570" border="0" /></a><br />And of course the eating part!

We took my little brother Ryan along too. It was such a great day - lots of hands-on play and learning fun. I've just finished a digi LO on it and figured I probably should share it straight away before I forget to (like all the other LOs I've done lately - I'll update with them soon enough! LOL)</div><div><br /><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/TIl5-bezcTI/AAAAAAAABIg/zxDECRa98wc/s400/Perseverancesml.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515073332127691058" /></div><div style="text-align: left;">It's of Elizabeth trying SO hard to climb the spider-web looking climbing thing they have in the playground. She was getting so frustrated that she couldn't climb as high as the older kids. But she stuck at it and did pretty well in the end (before she got scared of being so high and asked for help to get down! LOL).</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">I used a sketch from "stuck? sketches" to do this one. I almost never take photos in landscape, so I had to adapt the sketch to fit my photos. I love that about sketches - you don't need to be THAT exact! :D</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Have a great weekend!</div>Yilluphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07833817323255477151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217469102904379693.post-84618113146413942232010-06-21T16:45:00.002+10:002010-06-21T17:04:08.229+10:00Our new house!Well, we're getting to be pretty settled in the new place now. We've still got bits and pieces to find a new home for, and the decorating section seems to have been forgotten for a bit (note to self, a pile of photo frames on the shelves is NOT decoration!), but we're pretty set with most things. For some reason one single shelf in one of our bookshelves hasn't been put in yet. Not 100% sure why, but it's not urgent I guess, so we haven't done it yet! How slack are we??? LOL<div><br /></div><div>My scrap area has been condensed onto only the computer desk, but I've taken advantage of space under the desk for some plastic drawers which are already full of STUFF! Boy, do we have a lot of STUFF!!!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, we're loving the new house. In fine weather the kids spend almost all day outside, and when it's raining the TV reception is so much better the kids can watch ABC2 (with a whole lot of kids' programmes) whenever they want! Plus when Matt and I want the main living area to ourselves, the kids have their own rooms to play in. Elizabeth doesn't need to keep her small toys in the dining area, because she has her own desk, and she can play with her stuff whenever she wants!</div><div><br /></div><div>So, basically, we love our new house!</div><div><br /></div><div>Oh, and you'll have to wait for some photos (of the house, of the kids, of my scrapping and crocheting, everything)- the computer's having a little hissy fit and I can't really do photos on this laptop I've borrowed off my mum!</div>Yilluphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07833817323255477151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217469102904379693.post-28529534086107646312010-05-26T11:58:00.003+10:002010-05-26T12:16:18.393+10:00We're moving...We're moving on Saturday! The owner of this place put the rent up, and while some people may be willing to pay $300 a week for a 2 bedroom townhouse with an un-useable backyard, we aren't. We'd prefer to pay $300 a week for a 3 bedroom house...<br /><br />So last Saturday we had a garage sale. It was actually kind-of fun, even though it started raining in the afternoon which sent us scurrying for cover!<br /><br />Our rather wet sign out the front - I reckon it just sets the scene for the whole garage sale...

It seems strange to me to be saying "happy" when it's all about Jesus dying today. Ah well, it's the only words I can think of, so Happy Good Friday everyone!<div><br /></div><div>I like Good Friday. It's a day when almost everything is shut so almost everyone has a day off (I feel sorry for those in essential jobs that can't take the day off - sorry to rub it in!). It's also a day to remember the great sacrifice Jesus made for us all those years ago.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm sorry I'm such a bad bad blogger. I don't get on here very often, do I? I can't promise that's going to change - I'm always going to be a bad blogger I reckon! Ah well. Good thing this blog is for me, and not for anyone else! If you happen to read it - good for you, but I blog because it's interesting to me.</div><div><br /></div><div>My sister's gotten into blogging now though, and my mum has a new blog for all her recipes and food stuff.

I must be. So many people are telling me I am. My brother called me daft, a friend asked why I was ruining things for my kids, others just think I'm a nutter.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>What have I done that's so horrible? So disgusting and wrong???</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I've told my kids that Santa is a great story that heaps of people like to pretend is real, but it really isn't true. Santa doesn't magically leave presents under the tree, Mummy and Daddy do. It's something Matt and I have dscussed and something we felt was the right thing to do.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I guess it's unforgiveable. We are ruining their Christmasses for the rest of their lives. We are taking away the magic of their childhoods. We are scarring them for life and segregating them from all other people in the human race. Or at least that's the impression I'm getting from everyone else!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Why do we feel the need to out-an-out LIE to our children to create a magical and imaginative world for them to live in? Kids are amazing creatures. They can watch movies and be taken to fantastical worlds, read book and be transported to out-of-this-world wonderous lands. They play with a brown box that can amazingly become a car, a rocket ship, a boat, a house, a cave, or whatever else they want. But when it comes to Santa, we can't trust our kids to take it as an amazingly wonderful story about the giving spirit behind Christmas? Why do we have to tell our kids that Santa is alive and well today and lives in the North Pole and has magical elves and reindeer and delivers presents personally to each and every child? Why do our news programmes feel the need to perpetuate this downright lie by giving updates on "Santa" and even little graphics on where he is by using the modern technology of GPS? Why can we not trust our kids to create some magic themselves, and instead foist it on them in the form of our own ideas?</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Elizabeth isn't missing out on anything. She gets to lie under the Christmas tree and count all the twinkling lights with me. Tonight or tomorrow night we're going to pop some popcorn and drive around looking at Christmas lights and ooohhhh and aaahhh. She's getting a chocolate every day from the Advent calendar as we count down the days. She has heaps of presents under the Christmas tree all waiting for her to unwrap (she claims there are 10 - that's a big number for her). She'll celebrate on Christmas Day with a whole pile of loving people and plenty of good food.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Phillip doesn't seem to be missing out on anything magical either. He screams with excitement at every single Christmas decoration he sees (if it has flashing lights that deserves an even bigger yell). He's overjoyed every time he comes down the stairs to see our Christmas tree (despite the original fear because he shattered a glass bauble). I can just imagine the noise tonight or tomorrow as we search for lights! I might bring some ear plugs. He's gobbled down each Advent chocolate as I give them to him. And he's sure to gorge himself silly on Christmas Day!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Why on earth do we have to lie to them about a big fat man in a red suit to make it magical???</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>And why am I classified as a bad mother and a killjoy because we have chosen this way, and why do I have to keep justifying our choice to every friend, brother, shop assistant, and meddler around?</div>Yilluphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07833817323255477151noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217469102904379693.post-38755500501909011562009-11-11T08:13:00.004+11:002009-11-11T08:26:02.314+11:00I'm running away!I am a bad bad blogging mummy.

I'll be heading to the Ohana retread with all my lovely ScrapChat friends (except for some that sadly couldn't make it - we'll miss you guys!).</div><br /><div>As it is, I'll just have post up a few photos from the last couple of (rather busy) months. I hope that makes you happy, my poor neglected blog...</div><br /><div>We've had Elizabeth's 4th birthday. That was heaps of fun.

I guess his spelling isn't the greatest... LOL<br /><br />I actually got a few photos of my kiddles the other morning. TOGETHER! That is virtually impossible. The last photo I had of the 2 of them together and both looking at the camera, and HAPPY was in January I think. I've been able to photoshop a couple of decent pictures from combining 2 vaguely decent ones, but it's not the same! So here's one of the photos I got on Friday morning. There are others that I love too. Maybe I'll share them in my next post...<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/SppHL5VuvbI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/WcxtNmkMddU/s1600-h/kiddles.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 266px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375687374916206002" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/SppHL5VuvbI/AAAAAAAAA2Q/WcxtNmkMddU/s400/kiddles.jpg" /></a>Last weekend I got to stay over at Sharon's house (thanks for the hospitality Sharon if you ever read this!) to do a bit of scrapping on the Saturday, and then we headed off to the stitches and craft show in Sydney on the Sunday.

I tend to get a bit more arty and do a lot more detailed work at home. At crops and retreats I tend to do a lot more clean-cut stuff and it tends to be a bit more, I dunno, boring? Not really the right word, but I'm never quite as happy with the things I do. But in the end I have a few more memories down on paper, a few more challenges done, and most of all, I get to have fun! And I guess that is the point eh?</div><div> </div><div>The "Fashionista" LO is the basis for a sketch over at <a href="http://tanyahpayne.blogspot.com/2009/08/sketch-and-lo-for-you-by-kylie.html">TAN</a>'s blog if you want to have something to get your creative juices flowing...</div><div> </div><div>I'm starting working on a rag quilt at the moment (I figure if I put it in here I might actually FINISH a creative project!). I haven't really made a quilt before. I made a king-sized quilt cover for my mum using a very random style, but never actually a REAL quilt! Wish me luck!</div></div></div></div></div>Yilluphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07833817323255477151noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217469102904379693.post-60077420956643248382009-08-21T09:56:00.003+10:002009-08-21T10:05:41.147+10:00Woo Hoo! I'm on a roll!Elizabeth likes dressing herself at the moment. We have had some interesting combinations so far - dresses over jeans, singlet tops in winter, and of COURSE orange, navy, pink and red go SO well together. But yesterday's outfit was a stunner...<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/So3j5bvxZZI/AAAAAAAAA1Q/6J9ga0UwMEc/s1600-h/DSC_0869edit.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372200506363045266" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/So3j5bvxZZI/AAAAAAAAA1Q/6J9ga0UwMEc/s400/DSC_0869edit.jpg" /></a><br /><div>So what if the grey and black striped leggings are inside out?

All pink and pretty with butterflies and flowers and gems.<br /><br /><div><div>My blog is set up too - a little bit different... A bit of a grungy, dirty and ecclectic look I reckon! I like the coffee stains particularly. Even though I don't actually drink coffee... LOL</div><br /><div>I put in an order with BigW online the other day for 2 8x8 soft-cover albums. At less than $10 it's a GREAT way to get digi creations out of the computer and into a book. You can fit 20 LOs in each book (more if you put multiples on each page, but then they get pretty small and you can't see the detail). I wanted to do 2 books, but I needed a few extra LOs to bulk them out, so I whipped up these LOs in an hour or so!<br /><br /></div><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371077481424531842" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/Sonmgx1osYI/AAAAAAAAA04/qs4oIFOTmGY/s400/Enjoy+This+Daysml.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371077475303047298" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/SonmgbCKQII/AAAAAAAAA0w/abWk3aOvWAw/s400/Some+Dayssml.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371077467363820258" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/Sonmf9dTQuI/AAAAAAAAA0o/1YMqAvqLKcY/s400/Kissing+His+Curls+Goodbyesml.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371077462886246130" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/Sonmfsxw5vI/AAAAAAAAA0g/qUJW8Ii5LEk/s400/Itty+Bitty+Mini+cardsml.jpg" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371077454279845698" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/SonmfMt1p0I/AAAAAAAAA0Y/ImDR7Te-cLE/s400/Design+Teamsml.jpg" /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div>So today I get to go pick up the 2 books.

Lots of preperation. Of course, like usual, we over-did it and had heaps and heaps of food, lots of games and all kinds of things. It was a fun day!</div><div> </div><div>I made a nappy cake. It's got wipes, baby bath, 2 packets of disposable nappies, 3 cloth nappies, 4 pairs of frilly baby socks, and the thankyou gifts for everyone for coming (the lolly pops).</div><div> </div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371079482374517986" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/SonoVP9SdOI/AAAAAAAAA1A/yP-hdhm0W5o/s400/DSC_0726.JPG" /></div><div>And I HAD to include an embarrasing present opening photo of Sarah here.

I have been a busy little girl lately. Sadly not too much to share on here. More washing vomit and poo. Sadly so many bugs have come throught this family in the last month!<br /><br />But I still have had the chance to upload some (what I think are) gorgeous baby clothes to the Scrapchat <a href="http://www.scrapchat.net.au/auction/">TRASH AND TREASURE</a> day!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/SfGX1VtcFEI/AAAAAAAAAyk/2GFNfMsgvFM/s1600-h/DSC_0168.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328206776772596802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/SfGX1VtcFEI/AAAAAAAAAyk/2GFNfMsgvFM/s400/DSC_0168.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/SfGX1Ip6WqI/AAAAAAAAAyc/tnO49N1WShI/s1600-h/DSC_0161.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328206773268142754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 268px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/SfGX1Ip6WqI/AAAAAAAAAyc/tnO49N1WShI/s400/DSC_0161.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/SfGX03TgQkI/AAAAAAAAAyU/HQJbiLyUfoE/s1600-h/DSC_0145.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328206768610755138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 268px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/SfGX03TgQkI/AAAAAAAAAyU/HQJbiLyUfoE/s400/DSC_0145.JPG" border="0" /></a> <div>Head on over to the <a href="http://www.scrapchat.net.au/auction/">auction site</a> to check out the rest of my things (the trash and treasure day is Sunday 26th - all items are only available for one day!), and there's SO much more there too - crocheted flowers, transparancies, kits, hand-made buttons, felt and paper embellishments, and HEAPS of stuff! I am sure to be doing a bit of shopping for my bargains.</div><div></div><div>And next up to share with you lovely people is a small digital freebie. I made an antiqued scalloped paper for a page I did for <a href="http://roll2create.net/r2cforum/index.php">Roll 2 Create's </a>fortnightly challenges.</div></div><div></div><div>Here's the LO which includes the FREE PAPER...</div><div><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/SfGX0-ZIkzI/AAAAAAAAAyM/GTZd9C5axB8/s1600-h/New+Lifesml.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328206770513417010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/SfGX0-ZIkzI/AAAAAAAAAyM/GTZd9C5axB8/s400/New+Lifesml.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div>And <a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/101455425/4413bc62/Yillup_scalloped_paper.html">HERE</a> is where you can pick up your own copy. I also used other elements from my different freebies for this LO - the blue paper was from my <a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/55117947/d5100a32/Yillup_Groovy_Grunge_Part_1.html">GROOVY GRUNGE Pt 1</a>. The paper flowers are from my first kit I ever made <a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/49331253/de5ad7d6/Yillup_Kit_1.html">KIT 1</a> (the colour of them have been changed). Hope you can use something in your own LOs! If you do please drop me a note and let me see your work!</div><div></div><div>I have also done a little scrap therapy in the last few days - scrapping about the every-day stuff. The stuff that takes up so much of my life, but so rarely makes it into my scrapbooks!</div><div></div><div>So here's my POO LO!</div><div><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/SfGX0q5ShNI/AAAAAAAAAyE/-HPDIIbDEyE/s1600-h/Poo.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328206765279577298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_fswLjFvMvvQ/SfGX0q5ShNI/AAAAAAAAAyE/-HPDIIbDEyE/s400/Poo.JPG" border="0" /></a></div></div></div><br /><br />Hope it gives you a bit of a giggle. If you take up the challenge of creating your own "every-day" LO, let me know so I can check it out! It's great to have LOs like this that aren't the lovely posed portraits and beautiful landscapes...Yilluphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07833817323255477151noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217469102904379693.post-2706695198014680132009-04-19T12:10:00.005+10:002009-04-19T12:23:38.892+10:00A2Z stuff!<div>Well, being on a DT is fun, but it means you can't share your work until it's all on the main site!
