Oh my goodness!! I have been such a bad blogger havnt I...So lets catch up..Mmmmm where to start,,
*****
First off chookscraps completed round one of the survivor competition.
Congratulations all those ladies who made it through.. it was stiff competition thats for sure! So now we are into round two, challenge two. A monochromatic layout.. Have fun ladies..
*****
Woohoooo i won the overall weekend cyber crop at Embellished a few weeks ago. And also the layout of my girlfriend Kym and Jack won the challenge it was in. That was exciting..Have already spent my money and received my lovely box of goodies, Thanx Ali!!! Now Idol is into its fourth round and i dont think ill make it through as the competition is fantastic!!!!! But ive had fun and will still look at doing the challenges for myself..So pop over and have a look, you will see sooooo much talent its amazing!
*****
Well have been working a bit lately so have been a bit tired. After 18 years of being a stay at home mum and then doing full time work..wow its tiring. But i have sooo loved the schools ive been getting. For those who dont know i finished uni last year, last exam three days after Jack was born, and got my teaching degree. So have been working relief work and loving most of it. Its an eyeopener working in some schools!!! This last week though i worked at Goodna special school and i LOVED LOVED LOVED it!!!! Give me those kids any day.It really makes you very humble and thankful for your perfect children..
Now i have a few layouts to share if blogger will let me..lol.



This layout was in a challenge and didint do so good but i really like the colours in it.

This second layout of Alex last xmas. yes im trying to use up last christmases photos, that i havnt scrapped yet: before this xmas and the whole photo thing happens again. Used a lot of bling with this one. Its a competition over at Scrapworld. Am in the next round for that one, so heres hoping i can get through this round..

Okay that should do it for now. Thanx to everyone who leaves comments, Please do i love reading them!

Hi Francine,
Well done on winning the Cyber Crop on Embellished and congrates for getting through to the next round in the Embellished Idol, I bummed out in round 3..
I was working full time when we had our first child but i have had to give up work this time round with our second. Congrats on getting back to full time work, i agree though, it is very tiring.
Anyway have a great day
