Wow – 4300 visitors!

As I type this, I have had 4300 visitors to my blog! That is amazing. My counter only counts unique daily hits, not every single hit, so I am stoked that so many people have wandered past my dreary little blog! I’m flattered. I have updated my galleries finally. The main gallery is almost completely...

Layouts, as Promised!

Wow, three posts in one night! I’m just trying to catch up, I guess. Alicia and I are still in the Scrap Survivor competition. Well, at the moment, anyway. Who knows what will happen during voting tomorrow. There are now only eight players left. It got down to six, but two voted-out players were voted...

Australia Zoo

The next day, Wednesday, we went to Australia Zoo. I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel, as I was pretty upset when Steve Irwin passed away. The Zoo have handled everything really well and have done the man a lot of justice and honour with the way they have continued to run things....

Underwater World & Yandina

On my birthday, while we were staying at Coolum, we went to Underwater World, Mooloolabah and the Ginger Factory, Yandina. I love the Ginger Factory and had never been to Underwater World, but wanted to since it opened. The kids were great and we had so much fun sharing their awe of everything we saw...

A Child’s Solution

I’ve been searching for months for the lid of my little two-cup teapot. It’s one of those small glass pots with plastic lid that has the tea leaf diffuser in the middle. I love it and it has really been annoying me that I haven’t been able to find the lid. Nothing like a child...

Home Again, Home Again (Jiggity-Jig)

It’s nice to be home again, but boy…. I could have stayed at the beach for weeks! We went to Coolum Beach for a family holiday and my birthday. We stayed in a little resort that had everything we needed and was VERY close to everything. I will post more about what we did when...

MIA, Sorry!

I know I have been totally Missing In Action lately… sorry. I’ve been completely consumed with preparing a book for my grandparent’s 60th wedding anniversary. I compiled it using Momento, who also print and bind the book. What do you think? I hope my grandparents love it! xx S.

Ants, Ants, Ants & Survivor

We MUST be in for some decent rain some time soon in Brisbane. We’ve always been water conscious, but it is now getting ridiculous. The reason I am convinced of coming rain is the ANTS! We don’t often get ants in our house, but they are now making a decent track up from the garage,...

Basic Grey Gallery

Well, it took forever after my buying the papers to actually use them, but the two layouts I’ve just completed using BG’s Romani Gypsy & LilyKate ranges have just been published in the Basic Grey Gallery!! I’ve had a couple of others knocked back before, so am happy I’ve had TWO accepted at once!xx S.

Still Surviving

I’m back to say HI!! Thanks for everyone’s warm wishes. I seem to be much better now and almost back to normal, just feeling a bit tired. Alicia and I are both still in the Survivor game and going well. We are past half way and the numbers are certainly dwindling. Alicia hasn’t received any...
