Scrapping Away

I have been happily scrapping away, and finding a little bit of time to do both normal and project 365 pages. I have completed 6 months of the project and am so determined to complete the rest, but I wont say it has been that easy and keeping up motivation is hard at times.

Just quiet an interesting fact I have noticed a little bit lately when I am on the computer, some others think I should get more of a life, they really dont get blogging at all. I find it quiet thearaputic.
Isnt it quiet weird I work in an industry where I go into peoples homes and help them organise their life in lots of ways, from shopping, cooking, cleaning, taking care of them and even just keeping them company and its considered a job because I get paid for it. However when I do these same tasks at home, sometimes it seen as not doing anything because I dont get paid.

Not meaning to leave on downer but really am hanging out just for a day I can have to myself.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Make it a great day.

Until next time.

School holidays.

We have started our school holidays and been having heaps of fun getting out while the sun is shining. Tim has his practical driving test again Monday morning and this time he passed so it was a feeling of relief from Tim and all of us. Last time he was so disappointed and annoyed with himself for silly errors so very happy that it is all over. He still cant drive anywhere by himself as he has to wait 6 months but the hard part is done.
Brooke and Shakira have some friends coming over today as the boys are off to play golf. Brooke has been asking for such a long time to have someone over and its been a juggle trying to organise it as her friends don't live that close, so today's the day.

Just leaving with a page I completed. I went through my albums the other night and realised I hadn't done a page with Brooke on her own for her album since October last year. Amazing as I don't usually leave it that long between my pages for the kids album. Time sure gets away if you let it.
I have another couple of my project 365 pages completed but as I am trying to spend less time near the computer I haven't uploaded my last lot of photos.
I always have plans to get things done, but them actually falling into place of late is rare.

Make it a great day.
Until next time.

Finally a page.

Finally I did a scrap page other than Project 365. I used to be very organised when scrapping photos as I got them but these days I have left them on disc mainly and stopped printing, so trying to get back into taking my photos to the printers for printing. This a digital page i will print at home of Tim's birthday. I used elements from Two Peas, the paper is Chelsea Parsons.
I also made some of my own elements for the page.



We had a nice surprise this morning our dog Max ran away as the weather has been scaring him lately. We drove around all last night looking for him and couldn't see him anywhere.
Allan then left the gate open and we went to bed. When I woke up this morning the gate was closed and Max was in the yard. I thought our neighbour had found him, but Allan said when he woke at 5 this morning, he looked outside and saw him in his bed. It was kind of weird as it is was exactly a year to the date that we got him back from the pound last year.Its nice to see him home again as he is a good guard dog as well as a favourite pet.

Not much else to chat about, just checking in to say hi.

Make it a great day
Until next time.

Church reading, Disco, Parties and Dance Concert.

It has been very exciting here for Shakira this last week.
Shakira has had a busy few days. She got to do her 1st reading at School Church so practiced very hard to get it right, some of the words were a little tricky for her to read but she went well.
She then got to choose her favourite book to take into school and share with the class. She chose Ghosts who went to school.
Friday evening she had her school disco, most of the little girls in her class went so she had lots of fun. Its so cute seeing them all up dancing, there were a few little boys there too but the boys didn't want to dance like the girls.
Then Saturday she had a party to go to followed by a dance concert. It was a busy day for her but she enjoyed them both. The party was a great idea, it was held at a sports centre were they played team sport and did lots of dancing.
Straight after the party she was off to a dance concert. Shakira is wearing her tap costume in this photo.
Today we are about to head out the door for another party. Shakira's friend is having a party at a play centre.
Oh to be 6 again and have mum as a taxi wouldn't that be bliss.

Make it a great day.
Until next time.

Hello

Just popping in for a quick post and to say hello and a little share of some of my latest pages. I am still hanging out to complete an actual normal scrapbook page so hoping later in the week. I got a new diary for the new financial year here and hope to start some time management skills with it as well. I will probable start off very passionately and then be back to my normal organised but chaotic self.
Time Management tip 1: Stay away from face book.
tip 2: Do not play farm town.

Elements on these pages are from two peas.

Make it a great day

Until next time.

The weekend is here.

Saturday would have to be one of my most favourite days. It always starts with a nice lay in bed (which is good when its rainy) and then slowly read the paper, quickly check the Internet and coffee. When Allan heads off to golf just before lunch I usually pick up mum with the girls we go out to lunch and then Shakira does dancing. After that its pretty much do what we feel like doing.
Today Brooke is heading off ice skating with friends Tim and Allan have gone to golf in stormy conditions so Mum Shakira and I will do our usual Saturday. I enjoy just having no real plans for the day, it makes it so much more free.

This is a page from last week. Tim and the girls went across the road to play footy. The ball kept coming back over to our house so Tim had fun kicking across the road. This was a wonderful activity to do with one of our weekends.
That paddock across the road has a goods train line behind it. Some people wonder how we put up with the noise but I love it as we have no neighbours close by and enjoy watching the trains go by. You can see them from our lounge window.
I must live in one of the best places ever I think.

Quotes.

Just a picture and a quote for today, as I have had a very uneventful week. I haven't had any work but have had friends over to visit the last 2 days as I was still without a car so have been very housebound. The days have slipped by rather quick though so not sure how I fitted school runs and work into it. It has been nice to play catch up and share whats been happening in each other's lives. I was in need of some friendly advice today and it was good to get some positive energy in. Sometimes you just need that little cheer up after someone has doubted you, and then you begin to doubt yourself. A good friend just knows what to say and answers you truthfully when you ask her if she thinks you have over reacted.
Thank you, she even gave me a lovely bunch of flowers a packet of chewy chocolate biscuits and the good thing is you know what you have told her, stays between the 2 of you.
Sorry for the cryptic post but it has just been that type of week. Lucky for me they only roll around quickly and then disappear into the wind.



"Your time is limited, don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinion drowned out your own inner voice. Most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

Make it a great day.
Until next time.
