Hot enough for you?
It's been absolutely awful the past week. This heat wave we are experiencing has got to be the worst one we've had in years. The temp has reached as high as 38 degrees here and it's expected to get worse. luckily the kids had swimming lessons today. I still have to get in the pool with Emily and I didn't want to get out, lol!
Our air-conditioner has been working over time!
I've got some really exciting stuff to share!!
The 123 Scrapbook Christmas Cybercrop is coming up and since it's the last one for the year, we thought we'd go out with a BANG! So the CC will run for three night, 4th, 5th and 6th of December and there will be plenty of fun and games along the way.
Wilma has been extremely generous and has put up over $1000.00 worth of prizes up for auction - yep, for auction. If you're keen check out the details at the 123 Scrapbook forum - you don't have to spend any of your own money . You must be in this to have a chance at nabbing some great prizes, like Kaisercraft clear albums pack, Green Tara flower packs and even already made prizes by the DT like this frame made by yours truly.
So, register and be in it to win it!

some a2zScraplets goodness to share.
First, this month's sketch challenge example using "Little Miss" graphic words. This one is new this month..."Generations" script word

Also new this month, "Numbers corner"

I got my scrapbox on Sunday afternoon! Heather personally delivered it to my house after having a few issues with the delivery company. She is such a sweetheart, came all the way from Strathpine just so I could have my Box! That's about an hour's drive from our place.

Now, if only I could put it up....still waiting on hubby's shed. Grr...how long does it take to find the right shed??!!

Tonight's the BIG night!! Only a few hours to go until New Moon premieres! Tried to have a Nanna nap with the kids, but I just woke up with a headache...might have to fill up on Coke at the candy bar, lol!

Thanks for dropping by!

Just a quick post to remind you to check out the sketch challenge for November at A2Z Scraplets go to www.a2zscraplets.typepad.com to check out what goodies you could win just by submitting your layouts :0)
How cool is this sketch?

I will be back to post my example soon....

in the mean time....look at what I'm getting.......

we are hard press for storage in our house. It is teeny tiny, so I finally convinced hubby that I needed one of these - I did have to make a deal with him, I get the Box, he gets a 6x6 metre workshop shed out the back - suits me just fine, everyone is happy lol :0)

Get it delivered on Monday!!! Can't wait!!

Next week is going to be an exciting week! On Thursday morning, my friend Karlene and I are going to the Midnight premiere of New Moon in the city! We have been looking forward to this for so long and now it's only a few days away!! Will borrow Mum's little camera for the night and take photos of the mayhem outside the theatre!

Thanks for dropping by!

Finally, some computer time! It has been so busy over here the last couple of weeks, I've barely had time to jump online and check my emails. There hasn't been a lot of scrapping either, I'm glad i got a lot of work done early with all the beautiful things I got in the mail two weeks ago. I got my first lot of Scraplets and Oh Boy! So much chipboard goodness! Wish I could show you what I have been doing, but it will have to wait another week or so :0)
Have been busy making cards - yes, cards of all things. Those who know me know I'm not a card maker. So that has kept me up at night, lol!
The first couple are for the Rudolph club we have running over at 123 Scrapbook - very easy, simple cards, lol.
The last image is the start of some matchbox embellishments I have been
making with the kids. My Nanna always made things like this for Xmas
and I wanted to make something similar with the kids this year. If you

would like to see how they turned out, head on over to 123 Scrapbook's classroom and workshops thread. :0)

Wish I had lots more to share......

Nothing much to report. All has been quite in the home front. We are still debating whether to put ourselves in more debt and add a fourth bedroom to our little house - I keep telling hubby, I need a scrap space but so far that doesn't seem to work on him, lol. I might have to try another angle.
Just a little scrapping to share....

Thanks for dropping by!

WOO HOO

Checked my emails this afternoon and imagine my shock when I saw one from Kristy Evans!! I cannot believe I made the Masters shortlist!! OMG, I am still in shock over here and doing some major happy dancing as well!!
The list is very impressive! There are some great names I recognise and some I don't, but I'm sure all the entries are fantastic! Congratulations to all the talented ladies who made the list and also to everyone that entered!! Thanks to the team at SM too!! Going to do more happy dancing now - YAY!!
Hugs

Nothing much to report today.
Having celebration drinks with a good friend of mine tonight. She has been writing a book for the past 12 months and sent the rough draft off to several publishing companies, well, one of them wants to seriously look at it! So in a couple of years, she might have a published novel!! How exciting is that...watch this space!
Just some scrapping to share. My two loves, Vintage and simple scrapping :0)

Until next time!
