Just Another Day in Paradise

LAST DAY

of July? When did that happen? Can't believe that it's August tomorrow.

I finished my third challenge for the 3 Angels Scrapping CC. Had fun with this one.

The journaling reads:

What I love MOST about Christmas

*not the presents
*not the parties
*not Santa
*not the yummy food
*not the Christmas tree

is to share good times with YOU

Tonight's RAK is a box of 12 Candice Cook Laguna Paintz. You know what to do, lol.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

is YOU ... and a new car and a new house. :) I know, I don't want much.

This is for the second challenge at 3 ANGEL SCRAPPING using a sketch. Also nearly finished the third and final challenge - a little mini album. Will post it tomorrow.

Tonight's RAK is another Basic Grey 6x6 paper pad.

FREE

I finished my first challenge using purple for the 3 Angel Scrapping Cybercrop. The journaling reads:

*free from social expectations

*free from the 'CAN"T' syndrome

*free spirit

Hope you'll always stay FREE

Tonight's RAK is DOODLED PUNCTUATION CLEAR STAMPS by SASSAFRAS LASS. Just leave your name to be in the draw. :)

CYBERSCRAP AT 3AS

We spent the morning at soccer, both boys having wins and Jake scoring his first goal for the season. Woohoo!

Had a great time chatting to the girls at 3AS's Cyberscrap tonight. It's not too late to join in. The three challenges are up and you've got till Tuesday night to post them. There are some great prizes to be won!

Tonight's RAK is a packet of Heidi Swapp Journaling Spots. :)

WHAT HAVE I DONE???

I started reading the Harry Potter book against my better judgement. I just knew that once I started reading it, I would not be able to put it down. What a dilemma, lol.

Last night was the first time I looked at the rest of my FOR KEEPS mag and I noticed that I actually had another lo in there. This is one of Andrew's favourites.  

Tonight's RAK is a set of clear journaling panel stamps by Autumn Leaves.    Leave your name if you would like to go in the draw.

ROCKIN' GIRL BLOGGER

Britta has nominated me as a rockin' girl blogger. How cool is that. Thanks Britta.

Now who to nominate? How hard is that? I can think of so many I'd like to pass this onto. Decisions, decisions ... I choose my blog mates Melanie, Lis and Yvonne. Love reading your blogs, girls.

Today's RAK is a Basic Grey 6x6 Scarlet's Letter Paper Pad.   If you would like to go in the draw, just leave your name. :)

THE PRIZE

Thankyou so much to all of you who have left comments on my blog, have rung or have e-mailed me. It means a lot to me!!!

Some of you have asked me to show you what $1000 of scrap stuff looks like.

To celebrate my win I have decided to give away a few little RAK's. In my big box of goodies were a lot of things I've already got, so the first one is a BG Precision File Set. If you would like to go in the draw simply leave me a comment. Over the next 12 days I'm going to put up a new RAK every day and my kids will draw out the names of the winners on August 13. You can put down your name for just one or the lot, LOL.

EVERYDAY MOMENTS

When Julia from FOR KEEPS rang me way back in April to tell me that I was one of the 10 winners, I screamed ... literally! Poor Julia, I'm sure her hearing hasn't been the same since. I just couldn't believe it! My kids thought I'd gone crazy. Then the waiting began. It was sheer torture not being able to tell anybody, LOL. I was interested to see which lo's they chose to publish. You can see my complete album in the side bar.

TIRED

Lots of photos to share from our great week-end with the Dubai Brennans and our trip down to Brisbane and the Gold Coast.  I have heard that the latest FOR KEEPS mag is out. Have been busting to see it and share my BIG news but I'm tired and I'm going to bed, lol. Will share tomorrow.

GUESS

Guess where I'd rather be right now?!
