Scrapping Overload

My brain has just accepted the fact that all my scrapping supplies are going to be in storage for the next three or so months (don't ask! - if the situation is the same in another week I'll fill you in but I'm really crossing my fingers that it won't be) and has gone into scrap overload.

I finished the double page layout from the Midnight Madness event.

And I made a few cards while watching tv last night. I was watching Love Actually, which I've seen at least 20 times and have on DVD so I already knew when to laugh and when to cry which meant I could pay minimal attention to the tv and still know exactly what was going on LOL.

More Blogs To Read!

Friends of ours recently moved 'up North', they're still a good few hundred kilometres away but a heck of a lot closer than most. Anyway, the she in the partnership has an absolutely gorgeous blog full of the most spectacular pieces of art she has created. Go check out Colour By Numbers and ooh and aah over Sam's creations. Tell her I sent you :)

Another blog that I'm loving is The Pioneer Woman Cooks. I found this one a while ago and it is gorgeous (that word again!), has delicious recipes, lots of wonderful pictures and clearly explains each and every step. Ree, aka The Pioneer Woman, also has another blog, Confessions of a Pioneer Woman. I can only tell you how great it is at the moment because it's being made-over but it is totally worth checking out when it's up and running again.

And the final one for today is the blog of a fabulous and very lovely man I met at the Perth Bloggers Meet. I'm very much enjoying Belongum's Weblog and hope that you'll click over and check it out too.

I made a new recipe over the weekend, but as I'm still recovering from a tummy bug I'll save the food talk for another day.

Here's Proof

Proof that my parenting style for Offspring #2 is far more relaxed than it was when Offspring #1 was that age.

Just look at the chocolate and candy goop smeared all over her little fingers and face. No further evidence is required!

Some Scrapping At Last

For someone who loves scrapping and has an enormous collection of scrapping materials, my efforts this year have been dismal to say the least. However, I did make it to a Midnight Madness event with some of the local scrappers last night and produced two single layouts along with an almost-finished double layout. I had a great night catching up with everyone and, as it happens, saying goodbye to most of them too.

Here are the two single pages I completed last night.

Blah

Yeah, I should post today. I made a new dish for dinner last night - it was okay and worth posting, I just can't be bothered writing about it. Maybe later.

Work is doing my head in. Yet another mess to clean up today. A mess created by the very same person who has created the last 3 or 4 or even 5 that I have had to clean up. It's not the end of the world but that's not the point. This one came to my attention as I was collecting the kids after work and had to be dealt with there and then. Hubby was out (and not able to be contacted) so the poor kids had to be dragged around as I made phone calls, did some begging and finally got it all sorted. We eventually got home at 6.30 with a very (un)healthy dinner from McDonalds that we ate in front of tv. Three and a half weeks till I finish; I have heaps of stuff to do before then and at the moment it can't come soon enough. Tell me again why I felt the need to work till the last minute and why I have such a ridiculous need to leave it all running perfectly?

If you hear a loud noise from up Red Dirt way it's probably just my head exploding!
