January Challenge

Title:- Scrapbook retreat

This photo was taken at one of our scrapbook retreats, we stayed in a double storey house in Cowes, Victoria, it was literally 5 minutes from the beach.

There were 7 to 8 ladies sharing the fun together. We would go op shop hopping, finding bargins garlore, often as not sharing amongst ourselves.

We would often visit the local winery to partake in wine, cheese and bickies.

The friendships formed have lasted through the years. Memories are forever remember when we get together to catch up.

I have used many elements stamping the waves, painting, as well as flowers, leaves, cut-outs and handmade flowers as well.

 

The photo says it all wine and scrapping couldn't get any better than this.

January challenge- AARON

I have used a totally different medium for this challenge.

My youngest grandson Aaron is obsessed with trains. When he saw what I was doing his first words were " you doing this for me", to say he was happy is an understatement.

The colours he helped me choose which was used on the train and carriage.

He loved the white smoke coming out of the stack on the engine, told me it looked cool.

In the first photo Aaron loves my swashi tapes very much. The others are him outside raking, playing bob the builder and wearing nannies bunny slippers.

This will now proudly sit on a shelf in his room. Because this is for boys only, on the other side of the photo's are a picture of his mum, older brother and sister.

Scrap the girls

January challenge- Title: Laughter, Love and Fun

These are my to daughter Ness and Jackie, I'm proud of the girls they have become, strong and independant women. Who make me very proud. 


On this special day, Jackie and I had a special mother and daughter moment.

Jackies wedding was filled with much laughter and love.

With the help of a couple of balloons a lot of  jiggling there was much laughter amongst the adults.

Many things made Jackie's Wedding day a special one, the gardens then friends sharing it with us.

Title:- Genuine friend

This is one of my very good friends Robyn, we work together and go out to lunch sometimes.

Often all our friends join us and we catch up with all the gossip and grip about other things. There is always lots of laughing going on, good times.

Every time Robyn has gone oversea's on holidays she often brings back presents for us, just little trinkets.

But most of the time mine have been scarves, the last one was from Paris, its beautiful, the word paris was all over it in creams and dark brown.

 

I value robyn's friendship very much.

 

I have use hand made dollie and  flowers, also, across the page on the flowers I have used matching stickles as well.

Title:- His smile says it all

 

 

 

What can I say these are our birthday photo's of my grandson Aaron.

We just know that every time its birthday cake time, that Aaron would do one of two things,

1. He would eat it with his hands, don't worry about the mess,

 

2. He would face plant his face in his cake, which would make us all groan and laugh.

 

the last two cakes were made by my daughter Jackie, the first computer keyboard was made by my nephews wife and he made the mouse, which as you can see he loved eating.

The others were green and yellow leggo blocks, and the last one was a yellow truck with licorice strips decorating it.

they were always a big hit and yummy.

 

I have used handmade cut out arrows, and felt train and flags as well.

Tile:- TRAVEL family adventure together

 

This shows just some of the places I have lived in and around Sydney. I have lived in Bondi when I was first married, then I lived in Nowra, then moved to just outside of Liverpool, then we moved back to Coogee.

Its was great when my family visited from Victoria. We would show them around the Blue Mountains, for the beautiful gardens and our favourite thing was the scenic railway.

 

Then my girls and I would visit Adelaide Zoo it helped them think of it as a holiday rather than all the doctors we came to see for vanessa, my youngest daughter. our favourite exhibit was the monkey's, they girls thought they were funny.

 

These were just some of the places we lived and visited why living in New South Wales.
