Various artists...

Im a 34 year old Mum of 2 year old twin girls, Claire & Charlotte. We live in the Hunter Valley, NSW and love to giggle. I am addicted to everyday art and that helps me scrapbook our lives. Our motto... "Get amongst it". I have just been announced as a Scrapbooking Memories Master, what a thrill!

CATFIGHT CATFIGHT!!! Nar two of the loveliest ladies in scrapbooking!!! Kell from Scrap Needs and Maria from SCRAPBOXX... Both so humble and genuine... I seriously admire these two and the businesses they're growing... What would we do without you?

OKee Dokey.. To the faithful...

I am so sorry you have been here to find me out... But at Mums I cant blog and Im not home a for long enough to do much but pay some bills.... Im LOVING work and the drive is a drag but there's just no time to blog... Work will finish up in November so Im using the good money to get ahead a bit... And so we can have a nice Chrissie! So that's where I've been... A laptop would be a lovely luxury then I could blog in the looooooong hours at work where NOTHING is happening... I do get to scrap a fair bit at work which is fantastic! So.... How are you all???

First things first... Kiwi Scraps.... Who can describe that feeling... Seeing familiar faces and wanting to run up and squeal like a girl... (didn't stop Lee LOL!) I had the enormous pleasure of being able to sit with the posse on the Thursday night, they saved me a seat and we giggled and waited for our dinner... Can I say the highlight of my whole weekend was meeting two or three (or make that heaps) of people... 1 Miss Rachie... She is a bright, bright star. 2. Brooke Lyons... is lovely. Maria from Scrapboxx is a champion, really genuine chick... There were other store owners who I found rude and incredibly snobby, get over yourselves!!! One kit producer was so rude to me I was a little shocked but not at all astonished... That's what happens sometimes I guess, maybe you have to be 'famous' to get to chat to them!!! Alli Paterson, what a hoot! What a MASTER!!! Drill entrepreneur extraordinaire, is there no limit to her talents? Miss Lissy, too cute and funny for words, we will always have the crazy after party, where we made our own fun out of nothing but tattoos, straws and red faces... Debbideedoodah, needs no introduction, is there anyone who wouldn't love her? I know I have missed some, bugger!

Now I have a stupid confession, Im sure you're all gonna get a good laugh out of this one... Miss Jen introduced me to Miss Lee in the foyer and I was so flabbergastingly embarrassed, basically I love everything Lee 'create's and shows us on her blog and Im sure she thinks I am a weirdo (cos she's so warm and friendly) she reached forward to give me a hug and a kiss on the cheek... I think I just stood there and like a statue I became all stiff and UN-warm, I don't know why.... But its been bugging me that I became a nutbag just at the moment I was trying to be my most impressive... I think I was starstruck, now the whole weekend Lee was so charming and fun and singing and vivacious, and I cant help feeling that I let myself down by being so over awed... LOL! Not like me at all! but there you go perhaps there'll be another time to make amends for my weirdo behaviour.

Anyway so it was sooooo very long ago and heaps of stuff has happened and I've had a great laugh at Kell's blog and her not needing to be validated by pics with the famous three... you know that is funny cos anyone who went to Kiwi Scraps, who wanted a pic with DD AE or CZ could get one, they only had to ask... so none of us should really feel special LOL!OHHHH look at me, look at me, yeah you and anyone else who went, not including the kiwi chicks the week before and anyone whose been to the US to CKU etc etc.... so nar no pics of me with them... I changed every project to suit myself anyway, so as I will only live once I aint putting no stinking ugly chatterbox paper on my wall.. (I like the rosey papers, just couldn't eat a whole room)ROTFLMAO! and I dont care if you dont get it!!!!





Went to a class with Alison Shearer at Scrapabout on the way home with Jen, star books! Another top chick, Miss Allison (How's the fighting fish???) as is Miss Leanne from Scrapabout (Great store!! Parramatta)











and then last week, norty norty I went here... got me some doo dads! (Stitches & Craft at Rosehill)





So yeah it was wildly fun and too great to be soon forgotten, but life goes on... so her are some random shots of my view of scrap camp! This one time, at scrap camp.... yeah yeah girls its still funny!!! Anyone who didn't go, sorry but it WAS THAT GOOD... Next year they're gonna have to hold it at the ent cent. move over Robbie Williams the scrappers are coming to town. I won the name badge comp... thanks David! and bought a couple of extra packs for my Mumma to play with... she's scrappin up a storm lately... crazy stuff... like a 'what you say and do at two' for the girls.... The girls... the ladies are great by the way, in some ways spoilt rotten by living at Mums, in others they are becoming little girls. Its great to have some backup finally in the tantrum and discipline stakes. They eat sensibly at the table and ask please to be excused, proud moments for me!

No more photos... bloody blogger! I had Donna sign one of the bits of wood we used with the penis drill... and took a photo of her with this sign for Reg, just as a retreat reminder! LOL!




ok thats enough... now

that'll do pig! That'll do!...

Xx Lib xX



and I will leave you with a slightly 'tired' Ali Edwards and her late night party trick... hey all she had were these straws and.....

Hey Libby - it was great to meet you too - love that pic - see you can't help but laugh doing the dance thing!! As for the fish - well it's a bit like the cats - so far I have had 4 fish and as I type I have 2 and only got one of them today. I thought they were meant to be hardy creatures! Hmmmph. One of the original 2 is still alive after living in green slime for a week and a half to get over a fungal infection - same thing that killed the other 2. I hope fish no.4 survives!!! Pets be warned it's dangerous to live at my place.

Hoep you are happy and well.

Alison

PS I loved your post about the ball.
