OMG I have been in hysterics here....

Kellie sent me this challenge where you have to go into your photo files, go to the 6th file and show everyone the 6th photo.

I was sooo worried what I would find in that folder... but to my surprise it wasn't a layout pic but a classic shot of Jake doing a rolly polly down the black sand pile!OK, so now for the fun part in passing it on. Kellie wasn't sure of the rules so she passed it on to 5 others, so I am going to do the same

Taryn

Mandy

Jane

Treesa

Amy

have fun girls and no cheating!

I have my fingers crossed that one of you may have a really embarrassing or an absolute classic to show us all

ahhaha

oops sorry that was my eyes!

They are hanging that far outa my head tonight they thought they would type a quick hello too

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

I have put them back in for now and gonna go make a cuppa, its only 10pm yet it feels like 3am!

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

here's a quick pic of a layout I killed yesterday!

I went a little silly with paint, glitter and dimensional magic then tried to scrap around it
but well... sometimes a layout just sux and this is one of them
you get that some days...
I wasn't gonna put it on here, but I thought you could all do with a laugh!
----------------------------------
hey, I gotta say too, omg the layouts coming in for the sketch challenge are out of this world!
fantastic girls
keep em comin...
---------------------------
I am in the process of building another website that will contain a little showroom for all these challenges you all take up, so if you wanna join in the fun and show off your beautiful work then take the challenge, take it by the horns and kick butt!
-----------------------
well that's enough babbling from me for now
I'm outa here
behave yourselves
mwa mwa

wahooo I am in 'double digits'

I have another publication in Scrapbook Memories in the near future, got the lovely email this morning for the 'encore' gallery

making it #10

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

had to laugh though cause the layout is the one I have done for the sample in the next cybercrop! actually i showed a little sneak peak a couple of posts ago! LOL

so today I had to redo my sample

and here's another little sneaky peaky I wont submit this one - yet! I will be a good girl and wait

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

do you submit your work to magazines ?

many do and many don't

it is a very heartbreaking time getting the 'dear john' rejection letters

but every now n then you get the exciting jump around the room, clap your hands, sing loudly and scare the neighbors ones! LOL

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

I started submitting 6 months ago, it took me ages and allot of encouragement from others to do it, and now I sub about 6-8 a month

you never know if you don't give it a go

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

oh gosh listen to me blabbering on, can you tell I am tired?

I have been surviving on bout 5 hours max. sleep a night since xmas and it is soooo catching up to me now! with that said, I am outa here to hit the pillow - hard!

take care and behave yourselves

mwa mwa

Were did this week go?

I am struggling to believe the calendar this morning, its telling me its Saturday!!!!

I have no idea what happened to this whole week

I blame Mojo, he ran away again leaving me to do the dreaded housework and website building and breaking! lol

yep I broke my new site even before its launched...

I cried like a little baby as I watched it all crash n burn

I have been telling myself all morning that I am a big girl now, no need to cry, get back up on the horse and do it allllllllll again! arrgghhh

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

speaking of things burning, we had a bit of a bush fire here the other day

so I squeazed 7 kids in the back of my car and took em all up the lakes behind us to see the waterbombers

they all giggled and squealed with excitement as the choppers nearly blew us away while spraying us with grotty lake water! LOL

there were 5 bombers and so cool to watch

and yes that is 'spongebob' jake is clutching onto, he had to come too
even had to be tucked into the seatbelt!
this bloomin yellow dude goes everywhere with him now
he sits up at the table and shares Jake's vegies, he brushes his teeth and he is a bed hog!
it's funny to see his waiting patiently right outside the toilet door for Jake, thats the only place he wont take him!
well thats it for me, I am gonna go stick my nose back into this new site
then I am gonna track down Mojo and drag his butt home, I wanna scrap!!!!
later beautiful peoples
mwa mwa
