So what do you think of my blog make-over?
I quite like the colours and the banner.
Also I was sick of all the links down the right so I have made pages up on my banner where you can visit my links lists and other stuff you may want to know. I still have some tweaking to do but basically it’s done 
FAMILY UPDATE: Conner still isn’t well and let just say that what’s running out of his nose is disgusting (eeewwwwwwww!!). Jason seems better and he worked yesterday. Talissa isn’t well today and I made an appointment for both Conner and Talissa at the Dr’s today. (for those who didn’t know the Dr said that Jason and Conner have piggy flu – no blood test to confirm though) I’m working all this week and I’m still feeling ok 
Did you hear about the mini tornado that swept through the Noarlunga Oval on Saturday during a footy match? that’s just around the corner from where we live – and we didn’t hear a thing

Talissa has a birthday party today and I want to get started on Conner’s robot costume for Kindy on Tuesday – space dress up day LOL! I have no idea how its going to turn out but I got some ducting for the arms and legs. Its silver and sort of coiled. You know the stuff I mean?
I’ll leave you with this picture of little Acute that I made. The pattern I got from Melly and Me
Conner LOVES this little doll and Talissa takes hers to school everyday 
THE FUTURE
The future is not some place we are going to but one we are creating.
The paths to it are not to be found but made, and the activity of making them changes both the maker and the destination.

I was very excited to be announced as the guest design team member for the Scrapboxx this month I was part of the monthly newsletter and got to do the monthly sketch challenge…woohoo!!!!
Here is my sketch challenge and accompanying example layout
I have also used one of Ann Leaderhose’s retro shapes (its the cool shaped embellie that I have my date tag dangling from) and one of Leeann Pearce’s funky scalloped border. I covered both with patterned paper and doodled the edges.
I also got the Boxx of Scraps and was asked to do a layout for the newsletter
Well I did two. The BOS for this month was awesome. I loved the papers and embellishments, they were great fun to play with.
My next layout share is last weeks Color Combo Galore, number 124. I did struggle with these colours a little bit…perhaps it was because they seemed so neutral?
The flowers are Kaisercraft white and I have dry brushed some red in the center.
In other news the new AUSSIE SCRAPJACK site is humming and its fabulous to see so many members already. It makes that little spot inside my chest swell with pride I love to do things that make other people happy So make sure you check it out and have a go at this months Jack – Melissa Corbett! Its a fabulous layout and there are a few more prizes this month due to the new grand opening
Here is my layout for this month – I wasn’t entirely happy with it. I think perhaps its because I haven’t used my usual colours? Not sure.
a funny thing about this layout…when I did the title I called it Ye old skullbones and couldn’t figure out why it just didn’t sound quite right LMAO! It took a while before it hit me and I had to pull off all my letter stickers! Which by the way I attach and then hold pressure on each letter for a few seconds to make sure they STICK! ARGGHHH!!
I also have ANOTHER exciting secret that I will be able to share with you all in the next week
Got to love happy emails

Friday 5th of June 2009

Thanks for all your comments on my last post. I’m feeling much better. The Doctor seemed to think I had a migraine? I’m not sure as I used to suffer terrible migraines in my early teens to late 20’s and this was definitely different! he did write up an MRI order and told me if the numbness hadn’t gone by the following day to go in and have it done. I felt fine so didn’t worry about the MRI?
So that’s an end to that I guess. I just hope it doesn’t happen again – it was a tad scary!
So here I am to share my ‘Phantom of the Opera’ layout which i went to see with my Nana and two Aunties on the 21st of May. It was a totally AWESOME show! both Anthony Warlow and Ana Marina have amazing voices – they gave me goosebumps! I also LOVED the live orchestra. What an amazing experience
I dribble red paint down my layout before adding the alpha’s. Give it a great effect I think
I embellished with black florals, lace and gauze. I think that these three elements speak of Phantom and Opera
Edite to add: My blog feels boring
boring, boring, boring 
I haven’t been happy with it for a while now…it’s boring?!
I think I need to give it a Spring clean – even if it is Autumn
O I’m not feeling the best this morning I’ve been getting headaches the last few days and I had a ripper last night – so I went to bed early. Just as I was settling down the pain seemed to intensify and one side of my face went numb – it felt like when you go to the dentist and they give you a strong injection that makes half your face feel numb and swollen. That’s just what it felt like. My lips on the left still feel a bit funky so DH made me a Drs appointment for 12 today and we’ll see what they say. They are usually like – yep ok. You’ll be fine. Pay at the door when you leave 
anyway I finished my CCG layout for this week
#123
and here’s my take. I used the photo from Conner’s first day of full time Kindy and look at Talissa The very proud big sister
The flowers looked a little too plain so I added paint to the centers.
Over the week end I participated in the Scrapbooking Memories Cyber Crop It was great fun and I tell you those SBM girls can play hard!
I uploaded a sketch challenge and the girls got started and were uploading their entries before I even got my example done – see – they play hard and fast!
Here is my sketch
and here is my example layout
If your happy and you know it…scream? out loud! LOL my two crazy kiddos! I’ve used a Pumpkin Pink Trophy cup and attached it to a Pumpkin Pink Journal-it
I think that’s all I can share today
I still have a couple of exciting Scrappy things that are secret for just a wee bit longer…I know your all dying to know It won’t be long now…….
Time for a give away of my new chipboard designs!
