50 Questions

I saw this on Dani's blog and I'm bored to I thought I'd bore you all to death with my answers.

50 Questions

1. If your doctor told you TODAY that you were pregnant, what would you say? I would say it wasn't mine. There is no way no how I could be pregnant.

2. Do you trust all of your friends? Hmmm......I think so.If I didn't trust them it would be pretty hard to be friends with them. Aquaintances yes but not friends. I have a few Aquaintances I don't trust and that's why they'll always stay at arms length.

3. Would you move to another state or country to be with the one you love? Yes. I hope I didn't have to do it but if I did I hope it's to somewhere nice with good shopping.

4. Do you believe that everything happens for a reason? I guess that's one way to rationalise when things happen but sometimes it's hard to comprehend what the reason could be at the time. What possible reason could there be for people to suffer or for children to have terminal illnesses?

5. Can you make a dollar in change right now? Yep.

6. Which one of your friends do you think would make the best doctor? Hmmm.... Tracey. She's a social worker already so she's great with people and she's really smart.

7. Are you afraid of falling in love? Only if it's with something I can't have.

9. Is there someone who pops into your mind at random times? Yes. *blush* Characters from a book I've been reading.

10. Whats your most favorite scar? I have lots of them but I don't think I have a favourite. Maybe my caesar scars because their story has a happy ending.

11. When was the last time you flew in a plane? April last year when I went to Sydney for the Scrapbooking Industry of Australia trade event.

12. What did the last text message you sent say? I sent a message to the girls to say thanks for coming over this afternoon.

13. What features do you find most attractive in the preferred sex? Kindness, consideration, sense of humour, empathy, honesty. Being tall dark and handsome wouldn't hurt either.

14. Fill in the blank. I love: Chocolate

15. What is a goal you would like to accomplish in the near future? Having the renovations completed downstairs.

16. If you were to wake up from being in a coma for an extended time who would you call? Drew and the kids and find out what the hell happened!

17. How many kids do you want? 2. One for each hand

18. Would you make a good parent? Hmm...you'll have to ask Max and Jemima that one

19. Where was your profile picture taken? It was taken on my front step by Clair Bremner.

20. Whats your middle name? Lee. Back in the 60's it seems that all girls were given one of 3 names. Lee, Jane or Ann/e. The xception to the rule was if you had a relative with a hideous name you were saddled with instead.

21. Honestly, whats on your mind right now? Umm... Is that indigestion I can feel? Do I need to get some Mylanta?

22. If you could go back in time and change something, what would it be? I wouldn't ever ever ever put on weight.

Wednesday Waffling

I've been scrapping the last few nights with the new papers from Cosmo Cricket. Boy do I love their papers. They've just released 4 new ranges and I am in love every one of them. I've even managed to dig out some photos from the 'must scrap' pile rather than using new/recent photos so that felt rather good. I plan on scrapping again tonight and doing some layouts for Flourish with the same papers. The only range I have yet to play with is 'Girl Friday' so that one is first on the list.









And in other news...


I have just had my very first layout published in a magazine. Issue 64 of Scrapbook Creations, page 94. Felicity's layout is on the opposite page to mine. Yay Flick! They spelt my surname wrong but I'm too excited to care!




Back later...

I have some layouts to show and some news to share. Time for the morning rush so I'll be back later with photos.


Have a great day xx

Mwah xxxx

Some scrapping to share

If you've been reading this blog for the past few months, then you know all about Jan's shop 'Flourish ScrapArte Studio' in Brisbane. I volunteered to do some layouts for her for the opening of the shop using the ranges I knew she had in and that I had in my stash. Thanks to the lovely Australia Post, the package went missing and the layouts weren't delivered in time for the opening of the shop. She didn't really need them anyway as the design team she has are fabulous and already had some gorgeous work for her to display. I can't wait to see the shop in person.

Luckily, the parcel of layouts was recovered and they arrived on my doorstep yesterday afternoon. I had forgotten to photograph them before I sent them so this afternoon I got the camera out. Jan is down in Melbourne this weekend so if she doesn't think these are an absolute pile of shite, she can take them back to Brisbane with her on sunday night. She's bringing me down a parcel of stuff from her shop because I just couldn't resist it so stay tuned for more scrapping over the next week. I'm really in the mood to scrap right now but with both the kids home today and Drew still overseas I have Buckleys chance. My house looks like a bombsite so I'd better deal with that before I touch paper and double sided tape again. *sigh*










These 2 layouts were classes at the shop last month. The first one is using Heidi Swapp papers with a flap that opens for hidden journaling. The little girl in the photograph is my mother-in-law so I've left the journaling spots blank for her to write her own memories of the little dog sitting next to her.

This layout is a double page (which I don't do very often at all) using the October Afternoon Good Cheer papers. This layout obviously sucks because only 1 person booked into the class. Oh well, can't please everybody.



Hope you have a fabulous weekend wherever you are. xx

I want rain.


I want rain. Lots and lots and lots of rain.

I'm sick of this bushfire threat hanging over our heads. Tomorrow's weather forecast is for horrible high temperatures and northerly winds. Just like Black Saturday. The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development has closed all the schools and kindergartens in our area as a precaution against the threat of fire. Not so much that the school is in danger, but to make things easier for families should the need to evacuate arise and pretty much 'just in case'. They were advised by the CFA, SES and 'other authorities'. The media coverage of the recent bushfires is still fresh in the minds of the kids and they're worried that houses will burn down and people will be hurt. Gosh I hope everybody is safe tomorrow. I know the CFA and DSE have been working so hard to create containment lines in danger zones but it's scary none the less.

So I want rain.

I want summer to end and I want cold wet weather.

Please.
