missing

My son has gone to camp........





No.....I'm fine really!sob!!

ok since I'm on a roll and dinner is in the oven

I wanna tell you about where DH and I took the kids last weekend.

It was this place

http://www.nattrust.com.au/trust_properties/melbourne_and_surrounds/labassa

Labassa

Only a few rooms are open to viewing...but it was all very amazing, and very very beautiful.

The thing that took me by suprise was that from 1917 to 2006 all of Labassa was divided into flats!!
One door that led to a flat had a Union Jack painted on it.

I wanted so desperatly to hear and learn about the people that rented these flats, but alas the National Trust were only interested in the owners historicly before it was sold in 1917.

There is History during that period aswell, I wonder if any photos exist of the dwellers and what the flats looked like before National Trust came in to restore the interior....I'm sure in the 1920's 30's 40's even 50's there would have been some pretty amazing people living there.

Ok letting that go for now.....I promise to keep this update as often as I can.
Love to you all
V

Another cybercrop

seems like ages since I participated in a Cyber Crop, I was soooo in the mood to scrap
and when I got the reminder e-mail from Scraptherapy,
it seems like fate, so decided to go along.
There were 5 challenges and I suprised myself and did 3!!

Wow it normally takes me at least a day to do one layout!! lol









This was a cute little project I had this mini clipboard thingy for ages and ages, finally the inspiration to scrap it!




This is a nice layout, I love the blue of the cardstock and the lovely pp, with tiny flowers, this is Jack years and years ago!


Oh,... now this was a challenge was to say thank you, we were challeged to do anything, since I was in the mood I made a hand bag card, cute hey?

Torquay

again, but this time we spent 5 days there, I took my sewing machine an was determined to make some Softies while I was there.

I made Bronte her Martha Monkey:


There is a lovey little Church Opp shop in town and there is always a bargin to have, and I just knew there would be some old pillow cases there that would be perfect for the Softies

Every year over Easter Torquayrmary School holds there Fete, its awesome and there is loads and loads to do, in the Halis their Trash and Treasure and I was luckyto find a litle golden book for the pictures and the most beautifu old readers that have a real Vintage feel and look.




While at the Fete I found a stall that sold Jewlery and scored a pair of silver earings that have a Celtic look about them, very nice, good comprimise as I have wanted some Charles Rennie MacKinstosh earings for years now,

10 Years Ago:
I had a two year old beautiful baby boy, I was working full time, and cryed everydayat work, over missing him and hating that I had to work.

Buy two houses, by myself the old blue VW I've always wanted, give loads away to friends

5 Things people don't know about me:
I am known by my family as "the princess and the pea",
as I can't sleep unless the sheets and doona are flat and tight, it FREAKS me out if the bed is crumbled!

I think I will make this an annual event , we had the best time.



My mother, sister, bil and kids showed us around as it was out 1st time!



The scarecrow's were all a work of art, he is just one of many!
