some stash to go to a QLD flood victim Scrapper

Still going to give away some stash to a scrapper who leaves a comment here or on My FB page ... but a friend suggested giving away my stash to a QLD scrapper who has lost all their stash ... great idea Jen
Other scrap friends might add to the haul !!!

.....................................giveaway from my stash

Ihave had a really good clean up of my scrap room and am happy to give away some stash... some old some new some used, some blue .. none borrowed!!!

If you would like to share the stash, leave a comment and i will randomly select 2 or 3 to give away the stash to ... Australia only sorry .. and if interstate you may need to pay postage if that is ok :).. if it is too heavy heh heh

............................................HELLO 2011

A big break between posts again .. slack yes i know

I have however been sucked into the world of Face Book so tend to post about my life etc there

This blog will still be where i post my Los - after all it is called Create Each Day !!!

These are some creations since my last Post, there are some Christmas 2010 photos in there and some cards i made for my lovely friend Jan Thacker, who is the 'new' owner of Scrapbook Lady in Pakenham , to display in the store - Unit 5/18 Bomar Drive, Pakenham. http://www.scrapbooklady.com.au/

other Los are for challenges at Srapboutique ( love that place) and ScrapBook Capital ,so check them out too!!

.........................Back to work for me

First day back at work for me ... ah well all good things must come to an end . Used my extra weelk on hols to sleep in some more, have a few lunches out, move Craig's mum out of her house into a retirement village unit, spring clean and cull my wardrobe.. long overdue and a bit of creating.
School/work will be busy this term with Zone aths for me and 12 Karoo kids tomorrow, Y6 round robin day this friday, Y5 day later in term, report writing, Kanga Cricket day ... lots on
Thought i would just share the card i made on the weekend. It is in preperation for the Magnolia stamps i have ordered. Have been thinking about getting some for a while and finally decided to order a couple . The images look fantastic with Prima flowers, pearls, bling etc, so this was a bit of a practice !!!

.......................................Still Holidaying

Yep, enjoying a third week of hols thanks to some Long Sevice Leave. Term break was nice and relaxing, did most things i had planned but now i can get a few extra things ticked off the list and get some more LOs completed. Have been watching the Comm Games too so that has meant latish nights

Helped Craig's mum pack and clean up on Sunday, as she moves into her retirement village unit tommorow. Will be nice to have her closer rather than at Grantville.

Days are certainly longer now - amen to Daylight savings i say

Love that it is milder too, though that can change in a blink here in Melbourne !!!

Some of the Los i have completed over the holiday break are posted here

................................Holidays are here again!!!!!

Holiday time for me again ...ahh ya gotta love time to relax and revitalise. Really need it after a looong busy and wet cold term. Have included some pics of LOs i have created since my last post back in June. Intend to scrap a lot this break and already have completed 3 LOs. have a bit of Spring cleaning - culling of my stash, clothes, etc to make a bit more room in this house. Spring always seems like a good time to do that!!!!

I have 3 glorious weeks to do whatever, as i have taken an extra wek LSL.

Not heaps planned a few lunches and such but lots of days in my PJs till midday or so just scrapping, sewing, reading, catching up on reading or DVDs.

Last term was very wet ... and dont get me wrong i am pleased about the rain here in Melbourne ... but many of the sporting events i had organised had to be rescheduled and 2 of them had to go into next term. My wonderful Athletics team - nearly 90 kids from Y4-6 came in 2nd at the District Aths Day - gloriously sunny day that one - so very proud of them.

Have included some photos of my beuatiful babies - felines - Nitro, Grace, Oliver and Moses.

May even get another post done these hols ... i will try !!!

Winter Brrrrrrr

Winter is well and truly with us in Melbourne that is for sure!!!
Good scrapping and cardmaking weather i say!!!
Just under a month since my last post so I am improving ... and there was room for improvement!!!
What has happened in the month since the last post .. not a lot really
Busy at school/work .. my school team won the District Cross Country. Here are a couple of photos - after the win and of our shield



Year 6 round robin days have also been played - teams play - soccer, football, tee ball, tag rugby and netball against 5 other local schools. As the District Secretary
I organise those days - booking venues and refs etc.
Report writing has also been on the agenda - oh joy
Now I am proof reading other teacher's reports before the final print - more fun

Thank goodness for scrapping, it helps keep me sane!!
A friend from my early crafting days - she used to run a small home based stamping/craft business- think i was her best customer !!!- took over a fairly established Scrap business near me and I did some demos for her on her opening day and some card samples. Hope to take some classes for her too.

I am the 'Calendar girl' over at Scrap Book Capital for June and have set the sketch and will be setting a few challenges for the cybercrop this month.
I miss my time at scrapcap as a design team member so it will be great to set some card and scrap challenges.

I was very lucky ( by 1 solitary point!!!)to win the Postcards comp at Scrap Boutique
It was an awesome competition and i loved all the challenges. We visited a different destination over 6 weeks and had to draw our inspiration form the postcard we were 'sent' each week. It really was such a different competition to any I have been involved in before - a big challenge too!! Some of my LOs for the comp are below.
These 4 LOs were inspired by Postcards from Italy, France, India and Japan. we also visited USA and Greenland - might include those LOs next time



Think that is enough from me for now

keep warm - Melbourne girls!!!
