A Packet Of Nuts

contains nuts. Right?
Not hard to tell what packet of nuts this one fell out of :)



Tonight she is at her formal dinner for Guides
The theme was Halloween dress
She just had to have a lab coat so she could go as a mad scientist
She just had to call herself Dr Da-Feetis
No clue why
Nuts I say Nuts!!

Thought I might share with you a page I made for Karen’s Scrappin’ Kupboard a few months ago
Of Elizabeth, from when I went with her class to the Botanical Gardens
To see all the Autumn leaves



A little machine stitching

and a rolled flower made from a strip of calico

Fun :)
Spied the first blossoms on our fruit trees yesterday.
On one of our 4 nectarine trees
Bring on Spring I say
Oh hang on that’s right… Spring is only 2 days away!!

What’s His Name?

Funny story
Well I hope you think it’s funny!
I hope this isn’t a “You had to be there” stories
And that you will see the humour in it too :)
When we were away recently, on our road trip,
we visited the local Farmer’s Market
As we were walking in there were two older ladies walking out
One kept looking at Dave and as she walked past she said “Hello Matthew, how are you?”
Dave politely said “Hi, good thanks”
This page is made to remember that story
as well as a quick mention of the other names he has been called of late :)
Like Gary at soccer
and even my Mum called him Joe the other day…
So the girls have had fun calling him Matthew, Gary, Gazza, Matt… you get the picture :)



some journaling :)



I used bits from the August Studio Calico kit(s)
In one kit was a “packed by Andrew” card, a PERFECT addition to the page :)

Love me a cut-in-half Such Sweet Tierney chipboard button :)

 

I don’t play favourites…
I love the other half too :)

 

The weekend has been spent decluttering, reorganising and redecorating
Totally inspired by the new-to-us sideboard cabinet we received from Dave’s Mum last week
It had been given to her by her Grandparents
So we are quite thankful to have it and… well.. I like it in it’s new home :)

I bought, from Spotlight, a grey table runner to go across the top
and some red plastic place mat to go under the lamps
The lamps we have had a while now, won at a soccer dinner auction a couple of years ago
the letters I also bought from one of my favourite shops Typo
It’s a mainland store but there is a small section of products found in Hobart in the Cotton On shop

Looks mighty fine in real life, better than this photo, even if I do say so myself :)

What A Day

That’s all…
And speaking of Day
Here is a page I made for Banana Frog, about Pink Day (which happened back in May)|

 

You can read more about the page on the Banana Frog blog

the journaling :)

the buttons are from Such Sweet Tierney

and I made the rolled flower out of the pattern paper and the pom pom trim is from a QTea kit

and as promised photos of todays Vegetable Day

We had a chilli

a potato, with eyes

a pumpkin

and a carrot

she was upset because she wanted to not be a carrot by this time and would have rathered to just dress up
she changed her mind and her mood not long after :) 

So glad it is now the weekend
So hoping for a sleep in, of sorts tomorrow
So looking forward to the school holidays
One week to go, yay :)

Today

I stopped and made this page, totally inspired by Dare 167, before jumping in the car for the school pickup 

and today I (and Dave) helped the kidlets to make some vegetables to dress up in

Tomorrow is Veggie Day at school
They have to dress up as a vegetable and bring along something for next weeks Father’s Day stall
So tomorrow you will see what we all created ;)

A Little Scrappin’ And A Whole Lotta Pink!

If you head on over to Suzie’s blog you can see more on how I made this page for Love Scrappin’
Your home is where your heart is…
He is my home :)

And some close ups :) :)

Someone wanted to spend all day in her PINK fairy dress today
Someone loved it when we found a PINK starry headband to spend her we-brought-it-home-again Holiday money on
Someone did lots of drawing and writing with a PINK texta today
Someone ended up with PINK texta all over her hands and some on her face today
Someone…

This Little Chicky

No longer has grommets
One fell out a few weeks ago
No idea about the other
She now has an ear infection
On antibiotics and an appointment book with the Ear/Nose/Throat specialist for next week
BUT
She is still her usual jolly self, just in a little pain :)



I made this page the other day
Just because
Just because I loved the photo I took of Miss Elizabeth :)

I challenged myself to use scraps and some older products

and this afternoon Lucy and I went to watch Megan, and some classmates, participate in a winter sports day
She played volley ball for the first time
In fact her whole team played for the first time
AND they won in their division :)

They all had fun and that was the main thing :)

Our Road Trip

In photos :)
So be warned :)
I have made the photos a little smaller than normal so you can scroll through a little quicker than if the photos were big

First stop was Campbell Town for a leg stretch and to look at these

someone wasn’t content on the ground and had to get a higher view :)



The view from our hotel window in the morning



We took in the sights

Got a healthy snack at the Farmer’s Market



and a coffee break

 

here

then some cheese tasting

 

headed here

where this was a big hit

especially with our climber

we all enjoyed these sculptures made from paper

I thought the mirrors and lights were pretty cool too

we all enjoyed some rock pool fossicking

someone enjoyed their time at Burnie park

   

and some were attacked by a giant crayfish

Sunday we headed home, after Dave finished work
We stopped in at

 

and found quite a few of these

 


and visited this



and this



which we explored



and now some random ‘other’ photos, for one reason or another :)

Well that’s that :)
Phew lol
