Well Adam and I are slowing coming down off cloud nine after selling our house so quickly and for such an amazing price. The reality of having to pack up our house is setting in.. LOL ... We now have a settlement date of the 21st August, so that gives me about 6 weeks to pack up our house.. I think I can do it??? If anyone wants to help, let me know...ha ha ha Just kidding, I figure if i just do a box or two every now and then or clean and tidy out a cupboard of things that i won't need every few days, it shouldn't be too much.

Here are a few digi layouts I have done.





The latest 2 lessons over at the Jessica Sprague site was learning how to add a mask to a photo( Lion) and then blending textures over a photo ( Nic beach). I am really enjoying learning all these techniques, some I still need to refine and prac.



I am teaching a kids class done at Tomorrow's memories on Tuesday, looking forward to it.
Have a good week!

We sold our House

Wow..Wow..Wow... What an amazing 4 days it has been. Our house went on the Market on Monday night and we sold it last night.. There was so much interest in it and we had people come through on Wednesday and then yesterday morning. By last night it was sold and Adam and I are so stoked... It was an absolutely gorgeous house, but just became too small with the boys. So it is time to move on and we are really looking forward to that!!
Here are a few photos of Sam helping Denise ( agent) sticking the under offer stickers on our sign..





Yipppppeeeeeee, Do you want to know the best thing about all of this... I don't have to clean my house for ANY home opens...ha ha ha.. You gottta be happy about that - HEy!!

Here's hoping for a better week..


Here's hoping this little man has a better week this week. He started running really high temperatures for about 4 days last week and then over the weekend came out in some sort of viral rash all over his body. He was off his food...( which is NOT normal for Nic) and just generally whingy and irritable. He seems pretty good this morning, ate his brekky, which is a good start.
A really wet and stormy day here today..

Dark Side..Bwaaahhhhhh..

( that was supposed to be my evil laugh...LOL)..

Lots of people have been asking me, have I gone over to the dark side of Digital scrapping and given my paper scrapping away???

The quick response to this at the moment is.....NO, not totally..
But at the moment, while the boys are young and my house is so little, it is really hard to get all my supplies out onto the kitchen bench every time i scrap. Then before i have even turned around, Nic has climbed onto the bench and started pulling things off. So it just seems like too much hard work to scrap with them around. Every time I walk away or finish I have to pack everything up, which just takes up heaps of time....
So, at the moment i really love scrapping and so i figure if i scrap digitally, i still get the thrill of scrapping and finishing a page that i can share with everyone..

Wet Weather..

It's Raining, It's Pouring...









What's better when you are a little kid, then dressing up in your raincoat and boots and going out the splash in the rain..That is exactly what Sam did this week. He just loved it!
