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

2008-05-25T17:31:00.004+10:00

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

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?

2008-03-27T08:50:00.004+11:00

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,

New Divas coming soon!

I've been tagged, by the lovely MelsAms, http://theamsmob.blogspot.com/
the idea is I answer the questions below, you get something diffrent to read, I tag three people to do the same and it goes on,
Thanks Mel, Neat freak friend! LOL

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.

Things on my to-do list today: today is now tonight and we are off to Torquay tomorrow for the long weekend.
I have a million things to do, and I'm putting off thinking about it all until I wake up tomorrow

What I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire:
Buy two houses, by myself the old blue VW I've always wanted, give loads away to friends

3 of my bad habits:
I am a 'neat freak', like Mel
I eat too much
I obsess over stuff, stuff in general.....atm its plastic boxes with lids and my pandora bracelet, I cant sleep thinking about them.

3 places I have lived:
Melb
Adeliade
London

5 jobs that I have had:
No 1 Teller at ANZ
Title Searcher {various firms.}
Reception at a London Hotel, 1984
Sales High Street Kensington, Beneton,1984
mother, lol

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 can't scrap until the house is complely tidy, floors moped, toilet done etc, freaky I know!
I am related to Anistasia Withers, who sewed the Eureka Flag.
My family are originally from SA.
I don't like seafood

I tag, Fleur, Simone and Kars

Gentle Annies - Lorne

2008-03-07T21:30:00.003+11:00

Last weekend we went to this stunning little Berry Farm 20 min from Lorne, the kids got Gobblers passes which enabled them to eat as much as they want! and they loved it!

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!

Bronte had pancakes full of yummy Blackberries, whilst the rest had pies, Plougmens Lunch, etc, think we all wished we chose the Pancakes!!

home decorating and horses

2008-02-10T07:33:00.000+11:00

Hi ya ladies, I have been dong a little home decorating, as we rent I am hesitant to hang alot of pictures..having been here a few years I am desperate to cover up those drab walls, off I trot to one of my favourite places Kmart, an scored these plastic phto frames, I added left over PP into where the photos were to go,and they just look devine, I need another two to complete the wall { who would have guessed it was so long }
see pic I love how it has turned out.

Yesterday we went to Caulfiield Racecourse, another family day, this time there was face painting, Baby Animal Farm, Huge Slide, Ferris Wheel etc

The weather turned a little nasty and we made a quick dash into the Tabaret, and ordered coffee, Red Rasberry Lemonade and hot chips, yumo!

Shocking photo, I know, but I just cant fix it on the Office editing program I have. It sucks big time!

Today were off to a 3rd B'day party, weather is looking good and we are taking our bathers for a quick dip in their pool, should be a busy day.

Sneek Peeks

Diva's is running a 12 days of Christmas startingthe 1st December, each days we will bring you some awesome Christmas ideas.

Currently we are uploading Teachers gifts, go take a look and if you make any of the items shown I'd truly love to see them...

Finally I have a new Dress for the Xmas Party

2007-11-12T13:11:00.000+11:00

I was getting a little worried, seached through Kmart on Sat, as they had " buy the second item at 60% off"

But I was setriously struggling with finding something...

anyway on Sunday John was taking Jack to DFO and I just had to go aswell, went straight into portmans and found this " to die for dress" only $19.95!!

Marked down from $139.00!!

Can you believe it!!

This is the front:

this is the back:

Now I just had to have new earings and necklace so having searched e-bay for a while I came across this little beauty!
$7.00!!!!
I'm happy with that!
Sooooo Happy!

Anyway showed Dot at work these photos and she just loved the dress, she then forwarded the photos to her sister who fell in love with it too!

After a short phone call to Portmans, they have agreed to hold two of the same dress for Dorothy and her sister Lisa, I'm off right after school drop off to DFO to collect them!

HOW EXCITING!!!

To discover a pay it forward game.

Here's how it works :

The first three people who comment on this post of mine will get some scrapping goodies sent to them. Then you link back to this post from your own blog, and you 'pay it forward' and the game continues, presents galore !!!

Hope I can get three people to join in on the fun!

2007-08-27T19:54:00.000+10:00

I swear I'll never be sick of Bingo, needless to say I didnt win, and the priz was to die for!

We continued on with Diva Jode's Speed Scrapping Sunday at 3.30 pm .

Here you go!
What do ya recon ladies? pretty good for just over a hours worth of scrapping!

Our theme this month was travel, we had 3 Challenges, going with the trend happening around the trap we asked the community to decide on the 3rd, this was my effort, 3 diffrent alphas, 4 photos and a map, the Map part was real hard, think I managed it ok.

Well that was the easy part, the hard part was choosing what to buy from the massive range of goodies...
I did so well, I'm very proud of myself, I ordered one Versa Ink Pad, concidering I have no inks, this will cover me for a bit, a set of 4 small stamps and the best thing ever! a set of 3 Blender Pens, they are amazing!!!

The Three Lives of Thomasina

2007-07-07T12:09:00.000+10:00

I walked past the telly and heard the name Thomasina, and got one of those flash back, Black and White movie, a little girl late one night chasing her cat that leapt out the window...... does anyone remember this movie??
Apparently its not available here in Australia, I'd so love a copy......
its on Amazon, does anyone know about amazon??

One night, Thomasina runs off and doesn't return. Mary finds the cat hurt badly and brings Thomasina to her father, who promises to save her, even though he's in the midst of dramatic efforts to save a blind man's seeing eye dog. Like many others before, McDhui declares his daughter's cat a hopeless case, and has her put to sleep.

To say Mary takes the loss of her cat companion with difficulty is a great understatement. Though the youngsters of the neighborhood honor Thomasina with a proper ceremony complete with bagpipes and song, Mary feels all alone and she proclaims her father is dead.

Fed up with McDhui's readiness to put sick animals to sleep, Geordie's friends set out to put him out of business by passing along word of what he's done, even to his own daughter's pet. With his daughter not speaking to him and the neighborhood weary of his practice, Andrew McDhui is at a loss.

The Reverend Angus Peddie (Laurence Naismith), unable to comfort Mary, recommends that her father goes to see the 'witch' that folks are turning to in spite of his science-based veterinary. His hope, as is McDhui's, is that something can be done to make things right again.

I dont look at my son enough,,,,,,,,,

Rachael's Challenge Tuesdays at Divas

2007-07-03T10:36:00.000+10:00

For this month Divas is celebrating Christmas in July.

To keep in this theme, our Challenge Tuesdays will be focusing on simple mini pages with a Christmas theme.

Rach is conducting this months FREE online class to tie in with the Challenge Tuesday pages by showing you how to create a simple faux paperbag album to place your completed challenge pages in, all in only a few easy steps.

Dont forget to drop by on the 22nd July 2007

http://www.scrapbookdivas.com.au/shop/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1404&highlight=

The idea of Challenge Tuesdays is to complete a page without too much thinking and effort, so the CS and pp are the most important ingredients.

For this month Rach will be presenting a new Pagemaps sketch today as well as my example 5.5x5.5 page.

Rach will provide you with inspiration and motivation to get a few more pages into your albums, as well as exploring a few other tips, projects and techniques along the way.

Its all about enjoying the process!

See here for todays Challenge:http://www.scrapbookdivas.com.au/shop/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=1404

We have announced the winners, here they are...

2007-07-02T12:00:00.000+10:00

Just thought I'd update my Blogging friends with a couple of layouts done for my DT spot on Scrapbook Divas. this layout has been done with the latest Basic Grey Stela Ruby range and Heidi Swapp clocks, I really like this one. Loads of walnut ink to soften the white.
This one came to me as I needed to use some of that stash I'd been saving up { how long can you hang on to this stuff?} anyway its all mostly Heidi Swapp. I love Heidi Swapp with loads of black and white. Were having a sale,.............FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TILL MIDNIGHT THURSDAY 12TH APRIL 2007 YOU WILL RECEIVE 25% OFF ALL "OLD" HEIDI SWAPP PRODUCTS AND MY MINDS EYE PAPERS, KITS AND RUBONS.

No its not misspelt, and no I'm not a geek!

But my sister and her Family are!!

As Greek Easter fell on Sat this year, my sister in all her grace and wisdom, decided it would be fun to celebrate Greek syle on Sat night.
Off she went draging her daughter behind to Rivers outlet and purchased white teared cotton skirts for the girls.

Afro wig for the boys to use on their head as well as on their body
Mascara for the upper lip.

Scrap Jacked

2007-04-04T13:57:00.000+10:00

Have you guys seen this new Website?

http://aussiescrapjack.blogspot.com/
Here is a little about this awesome new Blog:
How do YOU scrapjack?????
Well, we thought it might be time for a bit of an explaination as to how you will all go about entering this wonderful challenge every month.As you know, we here at Aussie Scrapjack will be nominating an Aussie scrapper for you to jack each month.
On the first day of the month, we will reveal who the jackee is, display their work and a little about them.
Each of us here at Aussie Scrapjack will then scraplift the jack, just to give you some inspiration.
It is then up to you to either 1) scraplift the displayed layout, or 2) go off to the jackee's online gallery or blog and find a layout by this person that you love and lift it.There will be a winner announced at the end of the month.
We will be choosing the winner from many criteria, including, the best scraplift that also includes the individual flair of the artist who has completed it.
So you do not have to do a direct lift of the jack's work, you are free to interpret YOUR way, as long as the original principals of the jackee's LO are retained. Get it?

Hi lovely ladies, thanks for dropping by.
My little girl is such a mother and this photo worked out nicely. The quote says" A mother holds her childrens hands for a while their hearts forever" cute hey?
And this is a familiar photo I really love it, I used Elsie Flannagan Sketch for this and created the butterfly. Butterflies are popular at the moment I see then just about everywhere. ScrapbookDivas Cyber Crop is on tonight, 7.30 hope you can find the time and drop by, would love to see you all there.
Bye For Now.

Just a little news, Julie replied in our Toot Toot thread at Scrapbookdivas, that a layout of hers was accepted into the Basic Grey Gallery,
Awesome news, they wouldn't put anything in there, it would heve to be pretty good.
Well done Julie.

Taking a leaf from her Book I've submitted and been accepted into the Cherry Arte Gallery with 'My Beach Babe' layout, so a big thank you to Julie for making that happen for me.

latest for Scrapbook Divas, A Little Mother, and her baby Esmeralda

2007-03-07T17:25:00.000+11:00

Bronte just re-discovered my Doll, we dressed her again and Bronte showed me how you carry babies, so they want fall down, she really showed a gentle side that Maternal instinct we are all born with. I remember doing the same thing with this doll, and its a real treat to see her being played with again.
Although later that night little footsteps were heard and B entered my room, holding Esmeralda,
' Mum you can have her back, I don't need her anymore!"
" But who will love her Bronte?"
" You can!"
and she ran off...........
a little later, Footsteps again, " Mum is just that I don't want sticking into me things in my bed I just want soft things in my bed with me"

"Thats ok sweetie, I'll always love Esmeralda "
Cherry Arte Papers I just loved loved loved doing this layout as as you may or may not be aware I often suffer from the " I can scrap anymore" syndrome and these papers were on my desk for a good three days, while I walked past and shuffled them around. Then all the sudden, the layout comes to life.
Thanks for dropping buy Bloggers and I'll catch up with you all very soon!
