NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER

Another month has come and gone, where is the year going. Someone scared me ALOT and said that christmas is just 8 weeks away. 8 weeks how does that happen!! I had a quiet month, but I really needed it...: )

This weekend me and scrapanalia are off to a small retreat to set up. It should be fun, i might even get to scrap a little if i am really very lucky.

PRODUCTS

Fantastic tins, would make great OTP projects for christmas.



Why not think of yourself and get hold of this great tool. We are memory keepers crop-a-dile is a fantastic hole and eyelet setter. We have so far not found an eyelet we cant set, and myself and friends have really tried.

well today i have scrapped all day and it was so much fun, talked to a few cyber buddies and basically didnt leave this very space all day hehe ooops

i have been playing with some minimal style layouts and i have to say i love the style...i wouldnt change completely but i can see more of these popping up from now on...you can get so much done its super




now dont think lilly missed out here...she did get a layout about her too, but i forgot to scan it and i put getting it out in the two hard basket..: )

we r finally getting the fence

well its taken forever but finally on monday they start building our retaining wall and fence woohoo...gates for the front of the house too...dotn know if i ever shared but quite a few weeks ago now we had our backyard levelled out...it had a rather large (it actually looked small hehe) hill removed from the corner of our yard....it took the poor guy a day and a half to do it all and the dirt it just didnt look like that much dirt it was crazy...here is a pic of it all dug out...its going to make a great yard for the girls




we have also been working onthe front of the house...i now have grass, gardens and finally the deck to my front entry way...only mulch and deck oiling to go and its all done im really happy with the way it all turned out.

and of course i have been scrapping away as usual...i have been working on embellished idol and am crossing my fingers that i make it through to round 3 tomorrow as the challenge sounds great thanks ali u really are taking me outside my usual zone which is just what i was looking for...as soon as i can share my work here i will but if u have time go and check it out www.embellished.com.au

i have also been working on my entry for everyday moments this month and while i didnt think i would be albe to use the onsert i was surprised and i ended up really happy with this
