Mel's Me Time

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 J...

Nearly one month........since I last posted something here. I am so slack. The last post Feb 22 was seriously the last lot of scrapbooking I had done until last Friday night. Two gorgeous ladies, Liz and Cheryl, and I got together for a wonderful night of fun and plenty of scrapping (that was once we caught up on the gossip in each others lives!) I was very keen to complete a layout for Anna's Craft Cupboard Sketch of the Month competition. To my amazement, I actually got it complete.....well just the Kindy Glitz had to go on at home. Very excitedly I uploaded it to the gallery and now wait and see if I am the random winner. Fingers crossed! The layout is of my gorgeous friend, Nikki and I at the Scrapbookit 2008 Retreat. Nikki is really a true inspiration to me. Not only does she inspire me in the scrapping world but as a Mum too! Check out her new blog "Scraps of Me" - she is amazing! Just before I head off.....keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Last week I lost my ...

Life has been.....lets say a "little hectic" for want of better words. Between starting back to work after holidays, my little man starting school in Prep, a very piratey 5th birthday and the general day to day life of a working Mum we have been flat out. Needless to say I have been dying to sit down and scrapbook. Well, the weekend came and I was looking forward to having some scrapping time. You would never believe it but I was sick!! Anyway, I still persisted......I couldn't go another weekend without my fix! Below are my creations.........some more from my unfinished pile!!! Friends This photo was taken Easter 2009. The kids are actually second cousins and we spend every Easter weekend together. They really do get along so well. I made the pinwheels as part of a class last year with Jaine at Whadda Load of Scrap. I just love the Marakesh range from Kaiser. Precious Little Man Quite a while back I did a cl...
