Some sharing

Well I am back from my training trip in Wollongong and I am exhausted. There was so much info jammed into one week that I am mentally fatigued. I just can't seem to function at all. I have always been an early to bed type person, but 7pm? What the? I think after this weekend I will be all back to normal. So enough whingeing from me - and onto something that hopefully will not put you all to sleep. Some sharing of some scrapping that I did before I went away.

Sample for 12 weeks of xmas over @ Embellished

A layout using one of Ali Russell's amazing sketches

Sample for Sares' FNL Technique Challenge also @ Embellished

Everyday Garbage

Well here is my take on Challenge #2 over at Everyday Garbage:

I have used a safety pin, a piece of my shower curtain (top left formimg flower), dental floss to stitch around the number 5, coloured hairspray to create bg, hair bands, a strip of libra box and a compression badage net thing!

ssshhhhhhhh!!!! don't tell......

firstly, jamie bought these home for me last week!

they were my first krispy kreme's ever!!! and now they are gone!!!

last week was berry, berry busy for me at work. on monday there was no lunch break and there was overtime (late night) then i came home to KRISPY KREMES.

don't tell anyone, but i ate them for dinner (yes, that was all i ate that day), i ate them for breakfast (i wanted them gone), i ate a birthday cupcake for morning t, then ate dohnuts for lunch, oh yeah and dinner..... eeeekkk... and i wondered why were people asking "why so much more happy than usual" (like a stupid grin and giggling for 24 hours straight), maybe the sugar high. not normal for me, but very enjoyable at the time.

and i have things not to tell you too..... i hate keeping secrets, i don't think i'm very good at it, but let that keep you from telling me things ok, but i have 2 berry berry big secrets and can't wait til we can share them with you.

haven't been creating lately. think i overloaded.. but i'll be back

World Card Making Day

Some xmas cards that I made on the weekend to celebrate World Cardmaking Day! It's not that far away. Eeeekkkkkk!

Happy Anniversary baby...

Hi all,

It's our anniversary today so Happy Anniversary Baby!!! Four happier than happy years together XXOO!

I was too lazy to carry my camera around so you have some crappy phone pics coming up! Last Friday was Cupcake Friday but we postponed it until today because a was not feeling well Thursday. It is Kaylee's last Cupcake Friday so she got to choose the flavour. Her favourite food is chocolate so I went with Hot Chocolate Cupcakes -

See the hot choc effect happening - choc on the bottom, frothy white on top & marshmallows to finish! Absolutely divine!

Kath's glitz & glamour cocktail party this weekend. I tried to buy shoes on Saturday to match a dress that I have already but of course couldn't find any. Stupid little feet. So, in desperation I HAD to buy a new dress to go with shoes that I already have. It is so cute. It;s from Fusion.

I (heart) fusion! Here is a sneak peak -

I'm sure that there will be heaps of pics from the party next week and you'll see the whole thing.

Challenge #2 has been announced on Everyday Garbage you should check it out. Dee & I are going to have a go at this one now that we have found them!

That's about it today. Have a messy happy Tuesday and catch you all later - luv Kirsty & Dee.
