I subscribe to the ‘snag it’ style of photography…

I just go out and take 500 photos… then I come home and edit… edit… edit! That way at the end of the day I might end up with this –

or this –

or when I yell ‘Rockstar’ I get this…

and this is just for fun.

It’s 10.30 and I need a coffee and a strip or two of sewing before bed. ‘Tas been a VERY productive weekend.

Cheers,

So how long does it take to hollow out a large pumpkin?

and then what on God’s green earth gives you the brilliant idea that you should pop your insane self in said pumpkin for a paddle down yon nearby creek?

…

hmmmmm back soon.

iScrapz (lol)

Here’s a page for the Scrapz.biz Nook & Pantry Comp!

You had to use 2 photos…

Recycled lettering…

and something from the kitchen…

I made flowers from baking paper/foil/cupcake papers. I love this page! 12×12 when I’ve been 8.5x11ing for a while. I am no Nic Howard on the 12×12 but Im happy with it just the same.

Cheers & thanks for looking,

The Sweet Success! Silje’s Bubble Tea

Oh the ecstasy… The triumph! Ever since I first saw ‘Bubble Tea’ on Elsie’s blog, I have been fascinated by the what? how? & why? of Bubble Tea, and so for the past year (obviously not solidly… just when I remembered lol) I have been conducting some research into how I could experience this uber-cool Japanese drink. The ever-crafty Silje made some not so long ago and I left a comment on her blog asking how she makes it. (http://www.littlebirdcrafts.blogspot.com Silje’s blog – she is lovely and a crafting machine – super clever!) Well Silje left me a sweet note with really thorough instructions and now Robert is my Mother’s brother. (yeah… Bob’s your Uncle )

Viola!

It is a bit ‘kitchen wreckingly’ fiddly to make and probably not a drink I would make often, but the chewy ‘spheres’ are such a mouth sensation. I wish they came in sherbet flavour! I know what the fuss is now. I am satisfied that another of my ‘to do’ list has been accomplished and my holidays have not been so much of a waste as far as the list goes. I have achieved heaps and had so much fun with friends and family. I could get used to not going to work lol.

This gorgeous little square tablecloth is a bargain buy from Vinnies’ They have opened a new op shop store here in Singleton and I wandered in and picked up a heap of pillowcases (to make little shift dresses for the ladies) anyway the tablecloth is just an embroidered jobby just like everyone’s Nana has, but it’s now something I love it to plonk stuff on.

I have layouts to share… tomorrow! Need daylight to photograph them. Rona and I are not-so patiently waiting for the Jacaranda trees around town (there are hundreds of them) to burst into purple bloomingness. I was pretty confident they always bloom in September… a few have had a hint of colour, not enough to get great photos though. We just want to take photos of them, hopefully with the kids co-operating.

OK off to bed now… night all! Lib x

p.s. I used McClelland colourisations actions on the pics.

A card…

I tried making a card for the Scrap.biz galleryz. Had to make a travel card and here it is ta da…

Hmmm yeah it’s not great… and I will be doing the four chalenges this week. I really was proud just doing one last week.

thanks for the visit!
