So much has happened since my last post.
I have been flat out with so many exciting things and a lot of work!!

My last post was posted the day I headed to the Scrapbookit Retreat. Wow! What an awesome weekend! We all headed to Bright for the weekend. There was plenty of food, scrapping, inspiration, great conversation and friendships, fun and heaps of laughter!
I was lucky enough to have my Mum and Sisters Jenn and Shell there too! What a great girls weekend away!

We had a dress up night on the Saturday night......lots of fun.
Here is one photo...
Can you guess who we are????


Such an awesome weekend!

The next weekend we had the school fundraising dinner.

Then the 'road trip' of the century....
Five of us in a car - Jason, Brayden, Coll, Jess and I all the way to Sydney, 4 Swans supporters and 1 Essendon supporter. Yes we went to see the Sydney v Essendon game at the SCG. Besides the awesome result and the fun we had singing the Swans song to Jess ALL the way home the weekend was just a whole heap of fun.

Some fun fun times.....



Scrapbooking.....well there hasn't been a large amount of that as it is that dreaded time of the year.......the writing of school reports. It has consumed my every moment.
I did try to get organised at the retreat.

Anyway, for Sketches in Thyme my latest project has been.....Sketch #112.

Scrap That Poetry

A few days ago I received an extremely exciting email! After applying to be part of the Scrap That Poetry Design Team, the lovely Jennifer Campbell emailed me to say that I had been accepted!! I am just so thrilled to be a member of such a wonderful blog and with a group of such talented ladies. For those of you who don't know Scrap That Poetry I recommend that you pop on over and have a look. STP provide two challenges each month that require you to use the poem to inspire your scrapbooking.....it is lots of fun! Currently, the poem is The Rock Cries out to Us by Maya Angelou and works are to be submitted by October 14th at 10am. I am currently working on my first project as a design team member and this will be found on the STP site on October 15! Have a good rest of the week, Melxx

It was such a lovely day. My sister, her hubby and my two gorgeous nieces were here from America for the weekend - my boy and my eldest niece and goddaughter celebrated their birthdays together. Boy did they have fun! I made the 6 and my sister did the castle cake - so clever! So now I may
