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!

Well here's a start on my Shimelle class. I didnt really like the idea for titles and photos in a structured way and I wanted to just see what fell out of my head. So here are just random facts about me that even some of my close friends might not know. Not even nearly half way through yet... these pages all go together with big rings...





I love Red Bull!



















Being an Aries I love anything blissfull or even sometimes a little hedonistic.

















Great quote. Ive always been a quote collector, many live in my wallet. Inspired.
















Yeah thats right... I cope... strong and determined.












Self explanatry - my proud page















Art photos of myself make me happy

Imagine 1000's of litres of paint, explosives, a dis-used block of flats, a clown and a sense of fun!

These guys have made a mess! But its a beautiful mess!I absolutely adore shit like this! Quick go see now!

You will need to download the latest (free) Quicktime 7 to play the video, but its worth the wait.

Hello all

Well thanks to Lee, (thanks Lee) I've signed up for Shimelle's class.. just what I love. There are so many chicks doing this class and easy peasy pay through paypal... gotta love cheap classes and theres so much inspiration from not only the class but the other chicks... Awesome!!

My car is dead... Im driving Mum's to and from work and its costing me a fortune and feeling like Im driving a tank... anyway something about the alternator... it konked out 8pm fri night coming back from Singo and we (Mum Dad Me and the ladies) finally got back to Mums at 1am after the NRMA towed the car away... somehow I think the stars have aligned against me lately.


This video is brilliant... gotta love an aussie in a mall looking kinda freaky with a free hugs sign... it made me cry, though lately thats not hard LOL!






I taped the Little Brittian interview (Enough Rope) last night and OMG my fav fav fav show is back on! Not only am I an Eastenders tragic, and the Sopranos, but I adore OZ! (SBS 10pm) Doubt anyone's heard of it... quite graphic and its about a jail in the US... but the interractions is what gets me... I love the twists and turns and who's loyal to whom. There's a guy in a wheelchair (I dont think he was killed last season) anyway his speeches at the end of every episode are truely champagne TV! The spitting on each other and language I could do without, but hey how real would it be to have em all sitting drinking tea and knitting???

gotta go

love youse all

Im really sad that Scrapbook Answers is no more. I love that mag and the DVD's were winners. Oh well...

lets see, it's my weekend off and the girls and I are bumming around at home, you know cleaning the kitchen floor, cleaning out and washing the car, pretty much trying to stay close to the air-con too. Silly hot weather for October. I wonder what is going to happen when this planet really starts to get thirsty. Funny thing is, some of the huge properties all along our rivers, who rob unfathomable amounts of water from OUR system, to grow bulk crops of whatever... I cant see the govt shutting em down. What is it going to take? Yeah the little bit of water you can save by putting buckets in the shower with you, is ridiculous when you see the amount of water used by those farms. The ones on the way from here to Adelaide and in QLD.




Entered the Hamby guest DT comp (see pics)... wanted to do heaps more layouts but time just got away... have done heaps of samples for Leanne at Stamp n Scrap in Singleton and forgot to take pics... but I'm going to start teaching soon at the Muswellbrook Scrap Shop ... such lovely people Stacey & Bernie. - The Scrap n Craft Bug 02 65413142.

So excited for Jackie.. after this mornings ultrasound it looks like she and Tony are having a girl!


One of the mares at work had twins the other day. Whoops, they're not supposed to and sadly both had to be put to sleep... not really formed properly... other than that there's only 13 mares left to foal now... on the downhill run.

My huge gardenias are about to bloom... I never knew they were such thirsty plants. The buds used to fall off and now theyre fat with promise.

I am wondering where my Scrapbooks and More order is... its been nearly 3 weeks and Im sure I only ordered from the arrived stock. I know theyre busy and notoriously slow slow slow with orders, but crikey its getting ridiculous. I emailed them and still no response. I remember I wanted stuff in a rush once and they refused to help. They have great stock, just good luck as to when you get it! I think I might change my name to Carol-Lea, LOL!

Anyway, might think of what I really wanted to tell you later.. Im dying to know what Nicole Rayner's big secret is.

Massive congrats to Miss Roz, who in legendary fashion won the scrap an ad comp at SCRAPBOXX, that's gold Miss Roz! She and the gang will no doubt have tales to tell after THAT scrap camp... what a great time theyll have.. a bit jealous here.



Lastly I wanted to say Hi Lissy, Im sorry I havent got back to you, norty of me really.. and yeah Im wrapping up a pony as we speak, hoping it doesnt wilt on the way to you LOL! and fantastical Miss Rachie, though I havent known what to say to you or write, everything I write sounds stupid.. I am thinking of you all and asking that your fam and especially Miss Zara is taken good care of and all ends up rosey. I hope your anniversary hol is everything and more... now hands over ears and la la la la la la dont want to know what happens la la la la la. Have a daquiri for me though.

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

stay cool you lot!
