eeekkkk!!!

we now have a learner driver in the house!

WOW OMGoodness, wasn't it just a couple of years ago that I happily/nervously/excitedly drove out of the MVR gates, with my dad in the front seat! How on earth he had that much confidence in me, I will never know!

ok, so history repeating itself.......off we go on this next adventure of our parenthood!!!!

our visitor

just a shot of a sand monitor we had come visit our place the other day. Just resting in the leaf litter...he's just a baby, but I've seen them grow over a metre long!
just thought you southerners might like to see what we get in our yards ;D

what visitors do you get in your yard?


and I've finished.....

....the trunk...
flowers.....
the sentiment....
all makes up my canvas!
I'm so happy with how this has turned out....wasn't sure at first tho...
a bit too abstract - BUT now I'm loving how colourful & messy it turned out to be.
I really want to thank Gigi [GiSt Creative] for your amazing class - what an inspiration you are!
and Nic [Elocin Designs] for your fabulous tips & creations! I'm really looking forward to [one day] doing some of Christy Tomlinson classes, luv her use of colour!
look out world, think I'm hooked! :D
thx in advance for your comments, luv to know what you think! [aren't we a vain lot....it's like our creations a part of who we are!]

well schools back, life has begun on the crazy ride that is term 4!!! Christmas is just around the corner...eeeekkkkkk.....I am so not even ready to think about that!!!

scrap this boy

having such a nice day, scrapping away....
this LO just 'happened' ;D luv when that mojo just flows!
I was inspired by the amazing Crystals style.....grungy, funky but so fresh at the same time!

I've now decided to enter it for the Scrap the Boys oct chllge - 'using a homemade embellie' (c/-a lovely lollipop from Charms Creations).



Photo taken in Bali, at the Elephant Safari park......bit too close for comfort for me, but he's as keen as, our boy!! The bear was trying to sleep but the keepers kept trying to hug him......that would make for a cranky one would think! ;D

had a lot of fun getting dirty with this LO......I'm constantly washing paint off my hands, but managed to control my OCD-ness and worked with dirty hands for the whole time!!! Well done ME! You'd be proud Gigi :D

have a great day all

sneaks...

wanna see more?


then pop over here to see the full LO.
{poor Catie, I'm super late this month, no fun being sick on school holidays :( }
I struggle with journalling much on my LOs but I'm trying to do more of it, reminding our boys the things that are so important in our lives - our family, our faith, our God.

Luv to know whats important to YOU!

Hope you're having a great day.

revealed...

well, here it is.....my first ever 'real' commissioned canvas!
I luv it, even tho..........
its a bit too 'perfect', needs a lot more grunge/texture/stuff on it...but ah well.....for the first big canvas (40x50cm) it was a lot of fun..... and I'm still a bit partial to it!
And even better, my GF likes it - for her bubby boys room!

and now that I've done this amazing lady's class I'm hanging out to getting dirty and creative again!! You MUST go and have a peek, she is truely talented and lots of fun!
thanks for looking
