Just a quick post to remind you to check out the sketch challenge for November at A2Z Scraplets go to www.a2zscraplets.typepad.com to check out what goodies you could win just by submitting your layouts :0)
How cool is this sketch?

I will be back to post my example soon....

in the mean time....look at what I'm getting.......

we are hard press for storage in our house. It is teeny tiny, so I finally convinced hubby that I needed one of these - I did have to make a deal with him, I get the Box, he gets a 6x6 metre workshop shed out the back - suits me just fine, everyone is happy lol :0)

Get it delivered on Monday!!! Can't wait!!

Next week is going to be an exciting week! On Thursday morning, my friend Karlene and I are going to the Midnight premiere of New Moon in the city! We have been looking forward to this for so long and now it's only a few days away!! Will borrow Mum's little camera for the night and take photos of the mayhem outside the theatre!

Thanks for dropping by!

Finally, some computer time! It has been so busy over here the last couple of weeks, I've barely had time to jump online and check my emails. There hasn't been a lot of scrapping either, I'm glad i got a lot of work done early with all the beautiful things I got in the mail two weeks ago. I got my first lot of Scraplets and Oh Boy! So much chipboard goodness! Wish I could show you what I have been doing, but it will have to wait another week or so :0)
Have been busy making cards - yes, cards of all things. Those who know me know I'm not a card maker. So that has kept me up at night, lol!
The first couple are for the Rudolph club we have running over at 123 Scrapbook - very easy, simple cards, lol.
The last image is the start of some matchbox embellishments I have been
making with the kids. My Nanna always made things like this for Xmas
and I wanted to make something similar with the kids this year. If you

would like to see how they turned out, head on over to 123 Scrapbook's classroom and workshops thread. :0)

Wish I had lots more to share......

Nothing much to report. All has been quite in the home front. We are still debating whether to put ourselves in more debt and add a fourth bedroom to our little house - I keep telling hubby, I need a scrap space but so far that doesn't seem to work on him, lol. I might have to try another angle.
Just a little scrapping to share....

Thanks for dropping by!

WOO HOO

Checked my emails this afternoon and imagine my shock when I saw one from Kristy Evans!! I cannot believe I made the Masters shortlist!! OMG, I am still in shock over here and doing some major happy dancing as well!!
The list is very impressive! There are some great names I recognise and some I don't, but I'm sure all the entries are fantastic! Congratulations to all the talented ladies who made the list and also to everyone that entered!! Thanks to the team at SM too!! Going to do more happy dancing now - YAY!!
Hugs

Nothing much to report today.
Having celebration drinks with a good friend of mine tonight. She has been writing a book for the past 12 months and sent the rough draft off to several publishing companies, well, one of them wants to seriously look at it! So in a couple of years, she might have a published novel!! How exciting is that...watch this space!
Just some scrapping to share. My two loves, Vintage and simple scrapping :0)

Until next time!

Some Exciting News!!!!

Well, the cat is out of the bag.......I'm so excited to be joining the design team over at A2Z Scraplets!! I entered the comp a few days before the deadline, boy, I'm glad I did!!
Pop on over to www.a2zscraplets.typepad.com to check out this fabulous product and also the new design team girls - wow! There are some talented ladies there!! I can't wait to get started!!

well the weather has been a lot kinder here in Brisbane. The dust is well and truly gone. We had three dust storms in a week, thankfully, the later two were not as bad as the first one. My house couldn't be covered in any more dust :0)
I had a the fun task of providing the monthly sketch challenge over at 123 Scrapbook. Here is my sketch....and my example layout....

I just love the Que Sera Sera papers from K & Co. They are so beautiful :0) Little Miss Em would not co-operate with me and look at the camera on this day, but at least it's a nice photo - not a the usual blur I get of her running away from me! lol!

I'll be a busy little scrapper over the next couple of months. We are starting to get ready for the 123 Scrapbook Christmas Cybercrop - yep, can you believe it's that time of year again?? So if you want to have a fun night with the Wilma and the rest of us girlies, then keep an eye out in the forum for the CC details :0) There will be no challenges on the night, just a lot of chatting, some games, lots of prizes, an auction and no less that 20 OTP projects from the Dream Team. So if you want some ideas on gift giving and home decor this Holiday season, come along for the ride!

Thanks for dropping by,

Monica.
