HUGE Hello Everyone!

Hope your all haven a wonderful weekend!

I'm feeling pretty darn good are a lovely day with my Parents and a yummo Coffee!

lol! everything better with coffee!...well almost  everything..lol

This afternoon i was feeling the itch that you get when it has been too long since you

really Done a layout! i'm sure you know what i mean ..lol

so i got stuck into a sketch from Anna's Craft Cupboard

and some kaisercraft Devonshire papers and knocked out this

Layout before Justin got home from Work

I also used those cute little Papers Doiles from Marther Stwart and the AC and Jenni Bowlin Alphas

And you just got to love the Kaisercraft Chippie!

So Love this handmade flower i got from Amanda's Swap Blog

Talking about Swaps i also completed My Swaps for Amanda's January Swap

the Theme Was "Nursery Rhymes"

So fro My ATC i did Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

And Incy Wincy Spider from My Embellishments,

The Flowers, shipping tags and Stamped Images are your own choice

so i kept the Tags pretty simple so you can use them on your Layout

and these are the First spiral flower i have made so i hope they keep together ...lol

{HUGS}

Sounds Like FUN!

Huge Hello everyone!!

Well sad to say i'm still working on the Mojo...

didn't do hafe the things i suggested my self...lol

seems to be the way..i've been more tied up in worry

all about weather i''ll get into this tafe course...

i was a little later for first round offers so second round offers end 7th Januray

some reason our loacl tafe in Busselton is closed till the 10th?!

so i posted to Bunbury after a ring around to find out if that will still be acceptable

so now i'm holding my breath hoping for God almighty to cut me a break a Please oh please

let me get into the Course...i'm a little scared about going straight back into the workforce

not that i'm a slacker or that...i just want to get a better Job than Cleaning..

Now i'm not saying clean is a terrible Job seriously i admire cleaner

the things they got to do and the full on work that has to be done in

limited time..WOW! that is super cleaning when you

have to clean a room/chalat in 20mins Amazing women i worked with

at Mandalay Busselton 5 star caravan carpark

i swear i thought i knew how to clean untill i was shown how to really CLEAN!

i still reamember my first week dripping sweat and trying so hard to keep up!

was even more fun when i got my older Sister some part time work

with me and how she was cleaning..i realized how much i emproved and

what a cleaning machine they had made out of me!...lol

this is before kids of course....i remember cleaning from 8am till 3pm

sometime getting the early shift in the summer @ 5am till 7am and going home form breaky

and coming back for the second day shift

then cleaning my own house when i got home and then cleaning my sister !!

LOL! oh man i think i had a cleaning bug!

So i really have nothing against cleaning or cleaners

i just want to up my stakes a bit and build my confidence

so with that eating away at me weather i'm student or Job seeker in three weeks!

i think thats why i've been retreating into my books and escaping..lol

aarrhh the typical Picese!..lol

I've also started writing a diary....they last diary i had was when Ash was born

i really wish i had kept one through the begin of motherhood..but i think was

more concerned with just surving..lol

so just another way to get out what i'm thinking and help...well thats the idea

Now onto more important things like my first Layouts for 2011!!

WOOHOO! i was just so happy to get anything done while my brain has been taken over..

so one just for just for fun with Fancy pants Rough and tough range

Then only yesterday did i break out the brights an attcked the Kaisercraft mix it up challenge

the list of things were

- Black rub ons

- card stock

- Post it note / sticky note

- something white

well you would think the sticky note would be the hardest but i had that storted from the start

you see i had keep a few "sign here" sticky note from our rental forms

and i just added a couple of kaisercraft mini alphas to change it from "sign here"

to "Fun here" 

then i used Green mod sqaud Cor ordiates cardstock

Kaisercraft little man Rub ons

And for some thing white i have white poka dots in the Fun fair pattern paper

I did use a mix of kaiser craft papers of Fun fair and Babushka (my favs cause of the bright colours)

oh i also used the Tuesday tip for prining on the tags for the journaling from the

Kaisercraft Blog

http://www.kaisercraft.net/blog/tuesday-tip-printing-onto-journaling-tags/

So this week wasn't completly no productive..lol

now to find out if another coffee can help me clean out my stash?????

That Sound like FUN!!!
