Some Spook-a-licious

Ok now you can all start shaking your heads wondering where I get the time because I don't even know but this year another added extra to my days cause they are not full enough - lol- Halloween has hit the Australian Shore lines and with that I have to say that this year we have been invited to three halloween parties yep you read right three!!!!!
So the first one off the rank is John is going to his mates and I made these cute little treats for him to take I think they look great!!!!



This is a page I did using Sassafrass lass papers love these funky bright papers they are awesome....



This one is of the four older cousins and I had a little of this paper left over so I thought that this would be the perfect picture for it....



This photo was taken at Johns birthday party at Lake Keepit and I just used a few left over papers for this one but I love how it turned out....



Johno and his Karate trophy how proud he is......



Some exciting news Tarisota brought out a special edition halloween kit and yep I got my little hands on it sooooooo excited cause the restuarant is closed for a couple of days next week and I have so many plans but I bet you none of them get done but I can always hope.... have a great day lots of love jen xoxoxoxo

Some scrappin' to share

Even though things have been a little crazy over the last couple of weeks I have still managed to get some pages done so here is a little bit to share with you all...

This photo is of Ngaire and myself - I loved catching up with Ngaire and it was such a joy to meet Jilly out at the Lake Keepit weekend that my dear dear friend Deb Godley organised but I must tell you all that I was terribly upset when I went to Deb's blog to find out that she has resigned from the Shop and Crop design team but I hope that she still finds time to scrap with all of us nutty friends.... I love my Deb and she knows I think she is wonderful so I wish you all the best in your arty adventure...I have my fingers and toes and everything crossed in the hope that this year you will become a Master xoxoxo



This photo was taken at Disney on Ice and it is really rare to get a good photo of Johno so I was pleased when I got these processed....



The good old Queen Victoria Building in all her glory ohhhhhhh.....how beautiful....love love loved this building not to mention the shopping and the high noon tea that went along with the day....



This photo makes my heart sing as John loves his playstation and he is sitting here trying to teach Grandma how to play it....Go Grandma!!!



This is another old photo - I don't know where they keep on springing up from but this is Brenda and Katie in the spa having lots of fun and this pair do when they get together as Brenda lives in Sydney....



Be back soon with some more I know 3 updates in one morning I'm on a roll... lol ..... hugs jen xoxoxxo

Slack Blogger ALERT!!!!

OK so I can honestly say that I don't know where the time has gone and I know that alot of it is spent at work at the moment but I seem to have gotten a few things done:)

David and I were invited to a wedding in Port Macquarie last weekend and it was such a lovely break all we did was sleep yep seen a lot of Port!!!! but we had some time to sit down and chat and basically catch up which was lovely... We also managed to catch up with some friends that we hardly get to see and that is always a delight in my books. So while we were off to Port Katie was off to Uralla for Girl Guides with her first big camp out in a tent and yep surprise girls she slept in the tent!!! Creepy crawlies and all so proud of her... and Johno had a weekend split up between spending time with Grandad and Grandma and Uncle Dave and Aunty Haileys he had a wonderful time...

Katie has just completed her junior BP badge with girl guides on Tuesday night and even though it was hectic it is great to see the achievement at the end of the road... now all we have to do is organise a presentation day for it....more stuff to do!!!



Because she had to do patrol unit as her final section with this badge we took the donut machine down and the girls had to work in their units to make their own donuts with help of course...but while some were busy with the donut machine we had to come up with some activities for the other girls to do while they had to wait for their turn. So they had a halloween find a word to complete along with making these cool little spiders and a little trick and treat scavange hunt...no wonder I am exhausted and I haven't started to think about the dreaded Christmas things yet....



Even though I have been busy with other activities I have still managed to fit in a few scrapbooking pages so I hope you enjoy....

Here is my adorable little neice and soon there will be another one on the way yep Aunty Hailey is pregnant and we are all really excited about it...



This photo is as old as the hills - not joking it was taken when we had the last Christmas with my Grandmother before she passed away - I haven't been able to find the heart to do alot of those pages but I will get them done one day I promise...



This is Johno's new fish pinstripe the other one I posted when Lenny sadly passed away and it was a bit much to handle on all of us family members as we had him for a long time but welcome to the family pinstripe...



Be back soon with some more stuff....lots of hugs jen xoxoxox

Well I suppose I better get off the computer time is ticking away and I have to get to work which is not much fun and this damn day light saving is not good for me I am soooo tired it makes it so hard but lucky for us the kids are on school holidays so it gives them time to adjust....have a great day lots of hugs jen xoxoxox

Slack blogger alert****

Yes I know that I have been a bit slack on the blog thing but I have been so busy and haven't had the chance to really keep in touch with you guys. So what has been happening in this neck of the woods besides work we went to Johns soccer grand final last Saturday morning in the middle of the dust storm and the boys were the CHAMPIONS so congrats boys....it was very exciting to be there. Then we came home to get ready to head off to a karate tornament in Newcastle where John came third in personal board break and while I was there of course I stopped in at Shop and Crop...

So here is John with his bronze medal from the weekend in Newcastle yes page already scrapped thanks to a kit from Shop and Crop and my wonderful friend Deb the designer



This was another kit from shop and crop and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it as I had the perfect photo....



This one is of my niece Willow and I just love this page....



I finally have gotten to scrap one of the photos from my sisters wedding which was in August a bit slack but really not alot of time in this household...



This one is of my dear girlfriends son Sam on his second birthday and I think that the sassafrass papers work wonderfully with this photo....



Well I am off to post another lot of pages up yes I have been busy and slack at the same time I just can't decide which on it is....lots of hugs jen xoxoxo
