darn... I cant tell you yet...

But I will as soon as I can

for now I am still jumping around the room like a right looney

I can show you my latest page but

My mind has been a complete boggle with this big news so the best way to calm it down (alittle) was to scrap!

a clear page of my eldest son, Josh when he was 9, after surgery he was My Brave Boof Head for 2 weeks, just covered up the bandaging with a beanie and got on with his day as normal

and that's it for me, I am gonna go jump about some more

till later peoples

My little man is gonna be beside himself today when he gets home from school and see's his new Spongebob Bedding

I think I am more exciting about seeing his face/reaction, should be a good one!

I have the video camera charged and ready! LOL

This layout came about after Shazza challenged me at RSS to use this quote, a pic of my eyes and blue tones - thanks for a great challenge

My eyes are the ocean in which my dreams are reflected - author unknown

and this one was me playing with my cuttlebug again! when I first bought it forever ago I went silly on ebay and got a heap of dies, that I only just opened the other night! LOL

these flowers were created using the Disney Rose Frame cut and emboss dies
and this is a quick digi using the gorgeous elements from Ann-Marie
I was feeling scrappy but just cleaned my scrap desk, perfect time for a mess free digi! LOL

short n sweet post from me today, I am about to head out and do the dreaded food shop!

till later peoples, have fun and behave yaselves

My Good Luck Continues....

I lashed out and bought a slick pick 25 lotto ticket for Sat night after my little lucky streak and I just remembered so just checked my ticket

wahooo I won the lotto - twice!!!!

on a roll here... got 3 and a sup twice on one slick pick! how cool is that?

The kids and I just did a little dance around the room cause we can now eat this week too! LOL

Now I tempted to go to the casino! mmm... wonder if I could get a babysitter this late at night?

nah! thats just silly thinkin *slap* wake up girl

anyways... let me come back to reality here

---------------------

ok, just made myself a cuppa, have my feet up and am bout to show you the last of what I could squeeze out of Mojo before he dried right up and shrivelled up like a prune!

(he's actually cracked the poops with me and stormed out! - typical male... why did I get a male Mojo????)

------------------------------------

I was feeling all mushy bout how beautiful all the girls are at RSS

they make my day - everyday!

the journalling reads: Never a day passes that I can resist the urge to get my daily hit...Full of inspiration and always a great laugh with some of the nicest girls on the netyeah yeah I know, your now shaking your head! but seriously you should come on over and check it out. click here to see what I am on about

while ya there have a look at all them awesome challenges - with prizes!!!

yep you can actually win by scrappin!!!!

hope to see you there - I'll be the one sitting in the corner in the straight jacket! LOL

---------------------------
Just like my daughter needs sometimes! She is a crack up! her camera goes everywhere with her, even in the change rooms at JayJays!!!!

She and some friends tried on 'skinny leg' jeans in all colours and took pics of themselves...

oh to be a teenager again!

and I finally dug out my cuttlebug and had a little play! the poor little bugger was shoved on a shelf a while ago and almost forgotten about! terrible terrible scrappy I am

I am now on a mission to use it more

here I used some bosskut and quickutz dies

---------------------

and this one... I was on a roll while doing some DT work for Deb's Creations

this one came about with the scraps left on my desk from my scrappin frenzy

pretty happy with it too!

I was trying for a simplicity page...cut and lifted the flower for something a little different

and this one is for the Feb challenge over at Blackwith2

Tash hates it! LOL

she and Renee both wear glasses for TV etc but neithor will wear them outside the house!

I think they both look spunky and 4 eyes R cool

again I played with the cuttlebug and used a Bosskut die to make these flowers

they are really nice on a page, nice and lifted and different

but OMG were they fiddly little buggers!!!!----------------------------

and now that I have kept you this long I had best let you continue your blog hop venture

have a great day

mwa mwa

Luv Nat xx

What a great day today has been!

after being reminded of good ole eBay and a loud DOH! Homer Simpson style with slap to the forehead! I finally purchased Jake a spongebob bed cover and sheet set! He is gonna be soooo excited and I am busting to tell him. I wont though, I will keep them for a surprise

then I went to my LSS to pick up 2 things, Pritt Power Gel and White Bazzill and for the first time EVER I walked out with only what I went in for! My bank balance thanks me but my scrapaholic brain is yelling at me!!!

then...we hit Macca's! greasy easy maccas

I had warned the kids we were on a budget tonight so one combo each, no extras. They all happily ordered and to my shock horror it only came to $24

now that's a first in itself

but it gets better!!!

we get home and unpack the bag, all our quarter pounders were double with large chips instead of regular - wahooo feast time - then... I grab the change out of my pocket to put back in my purse and holy cow there's an extra $20 in my change!!!!

instead of $26 change they gave me $46

and its too far and too late to take it back tonight. This kind of thing just doesn't happen to me, I am the one that usually gets shortchanged! I feel really bad, but at these times I think its just my turn!

well that's what I am tellin myself for now

have to justify it in my head....

just don't tell maccas shhhhh

( I might mention it next time )

----------------------------------------

ok
