Two more sleeps….

July 20, 2009

….until the Melbourne Quilt and Craft Fair.  Well it doesn’t actually start until Thursday but we’ll be there setting up from Wednesday.  Another Nic and Suz adventure! on our home turf this time - should be ace!  Have to leave the family again which is bittersweet. Love getting away.  Miss them like mad!

Here’s a peek at one of our kits for sale at the show.  A sunny scrummy card kit!

Our weekend was lovely and sunny and relaxed.  Mostly.  Pretty much looked like this -

Saturday was a bit crazy.  I had a photo shoot about an hour away and it was fabulous!  Four adult sisters and their Mum altogether for their Mum’s birthday party.  They’d had a few wines.  Did them good I reckon!

Went to a friend’s birthday Saturday night.  I didn’t last long - way tired after the shoot but that was okay ;)  So Sunday I FINALLY caught up on all of our laundry.  All TWELVE loads of it, and don’t even ask how many hours I ironed for!  All done now though and I can relax a little knowing that Nath and the kids won’t be naked while I’m away this week :) Nath spent the day cooking with the kids.  They baked HEAPS of stuff.  Yummy stuff.  Too freakin’ yummy just quietly….  I love windy sunny days at home when you change the beds and the sheets all smell sun-dried and delish! Yesterday was one of those days….

I have a project in the latest Scrapbook Creations magazine for the sports theme and here it is…

I was so happy to collaborate a good collection of Alexander’s memorabilia for this project.  It’s nice to just have it altogether!

And before I forget, I want to remind you about the Colours and Words challenge over at the Aussie Scrap Source blog.  You have until next Wednesday to create a layout around the word “Believe” using this colour palette -

This one was one of my challenges.  I love how my layout turned out using these colours.  It started me off on a whole new colour journey, I’ve been using yellow heaps lately.  I’ve always liked it and used it quite a bit but often just forgot about it.  Anyway this challenge re-inspired me.  It’s worth you entering because the prize packs are awesome!

That’s about it for me now….if you’re at the show PLEASE don’t be shy, come and say hello.  I’m on the Budget Scrapbooking stand - F26? I think it is.  Just look for our little blue piggy…

piggyBefore I go, I want to share these cute pics I took this morning.  Our baby Matilda is growing and growing and both kids ADORE her.  She’s been so good for all of us, such a placid, gorgeous cat, check out how she sits with Maddy while she plays her DS.  The kids think she’s the coolest cat ever since she’s “into” Nintendo DS - lololol!
