WHAT IVE BEEN UP TO! (in the scrapping world)
Well i have managed to finish emilys second challenge. A word that is powerful to you. For me the word is love. A powerful word when spoken, a powerful emotion when felt.


Oh and im into week two of Scrapbook Chalets survivor comp. This week was to do a layout about your town.What a great way to learn more about the contestants in the competition, and i love seeing where everyone is from. I of course chose Brisbane, and decided to focus on our heritage buildings. The challenge was, "3 photos, 2 metals and 2 pp". I really like what ive done so we will have to wait and see how i go...


MY RAMBLINGS:(or what ive been up to in the my real, partner, housewife, teacher, mum and taxi driver world).
Well not a lot happening, oh only that Stephanie got the permanent job at Dreamworld. She is sooo excited. She has been working there over the holidays as a casual, with many other young kids and they were only going to hire a few for the rest of the year as a permanent, and she was one of them.So great for her confidence, and her bank account. So that is exciting.
Craigs birthday this Friday, Australia day. Got him a siver bracelet and ring to match. Not a surprise as he had to try them on, so im off to find a surprise present for him.. Not sure what to get him jusdt yet. Guess ill just have to shop around..

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
No scrap of paper bigger than my smallest punch shall be thrown away. ~Author Unknown, "The Scrappers Creed"
