Another Sketch

Thought I'd upload another sketch for you.

These are not my sketches but have permission to display them.

I think they are awesome and give me much inspiration.

When trying to think of a Layout. I love circles at the moment. They are interesting and challenging. Really out of my comfort zone.

But its fun.

I like this Sketch as it incorporates both straight and curve lines.

I'll have to see what I come up with.

Anyway its late now and I must go to bed I have 4 kids in the morning to look after.

My own 2 plus friends daughter is over here plus will get another little girl early tomorrow too. And DH is going out to Woodhouse to do some scout stuff for most of the day. YAY! Oh but they will be fine.

Nite to all the night owls that are up still its almost 1am here in Adelaide.

Altered Letter Swap @ The Scrappers Hub

This is the Altered Letter Swap I created for Mistra at The Scrappers Hub. I used two wooden M's and joined it together with organza ribbon. I altered both sides of the M's.
To see comments: Go Here. The idea was to make or alter a monogram letter for a secret person you got the colours they liked and what letter it they'd like. You knew who you were creating for. But the person to receive it had to guess who made it for them.
This one was a challenge to find Lime green, Hot Pink and Orange together and these Daisy D's were perfect.

The Scrappers Hub has great swaps to be apart of. Our next one is a card swap. Make it easy next time a birthday or anniversary pops up you'll have a gorgeous handmade card to give them. Come and join us for the next swap starting this week.

A Dream

Something I'd love to do would be to work or teach at a Scrapbook Store. Combine my love of Scrapbooking and working together. I already do some classes here and there but would love to build up back to full time work again and contribute to the home again.
And maybe work on next year doing up the old study to a little nursery / guestroom for maybe the year after we'll try again 3rd and last time.

I am back into house mode in wanting to get cupboards and shelving. For my birthday I think I'll just ask for money to go towards my new scraproom furniture from IKEA. As my room here so cramped.

Gosh I'm 29 in a few weeks. Time creeps up on you when your not looking.

Dont Miss this.

Low Day

Today is a low day for me. Somethings have caught up with me a bit and feeling a bit tired.

But I plan on doing some catch up housework and some more scrapping. Been enjoying that lately.

Been doing a few layouts recently and I might pop some of them up. This one is " Living in the 70's a 'blast from the past' theme competition from The Scrappers Hub.

Its been quite calming. Just need to get a radio into my room here. Plus clean it up.

My Scrap tables are a mess.

This next Layout is from a sketch on my Angel Creations Blog for a competition anyone else can join in.

I just love Mitch and they way he tries to eat. I have so many of these photos. A mess but very cute. I used the Prima Stone Rose Printed Paper and the matching flowers. Then added some bling to all the flowers. Alphas are Lil Davis Glitter Garden. And used some BG Rubons in white. Plus thought I'd try some doodling on the page a little.

Haven't go used to that yet, just doodling all over the page. LOL

This is from a Letter Swap I was involved in and this was made by my good friend Vicki for me. I think it is lovely and will hang it in my scrap room.

Its already after 10am and I better get moving for the day. Hope everyone has a lovely day today. I looks nice outside a little windy and cool but the sun is out.

Have a Great Day.

A Reflection of a Friend.

Went to the funeral today of my friend Dani. It was very nice, small but lovely. Michelle did a nice little talk about her too.
I am at my friend Michelle's place at the moment, she lives close by and I am going to head home soon. I don't know anyone at the funeral other than Michelle and I stayed a short time with the coffee and biscuits they have after. I have met Dani's parents and sister before but not very often as we only caught up mainly after she move out of home to down south. She was 18ish when she did.
It's been a difficult morning. I was invited with the family and Michelle to the viewing of Dani.
Inside I felt like I needed to go to prove to me and accept she is gone but also the chance to say a personal goodbye. Another part of me thought this was for just family. Michelle and Dani's sister (Michelle also - we call her Mish) held my hands and walked in with me. I looked at her mum tears streaming down her face, I just hugged her and said "she was one of my bestfriends and I loved her dearly". I looked down at her, she looked beautiful. And was wearing a lovely peaseant top and skirt she loved so much. She even had my friendship ring I bought her for her 18th birthday left on her fingers. I was a mess when I saw that. It had confirmed the sorrow in my heart. Her mum looked at me and asked if I wanted it. I said no its hers to take with her. It was our link together. I will truly miss her. I know the pain will ease in time, but I will never forget her.
Anyway I thought I'd jump on here clear my thoughts before I pick up Mitch and head home. Need to clear my eyes and wipe my face and head home. Today I reflect on the time I had with Dani, a gorgeous soul a beautiful friend and a generous person. I am thankful she did not suffer and that she is with her little boy now watching over me.


Thankyou to everyone who have posted in the forums, on here or sent emails, it means a lot to me. I think I'll have a quiet rest of the day.

A Brighter Day

Today has been brighter. I spent some time with my friend Donna and took the kids to Tri Skills Kindergym. The Kids loved it.
Then it was home for lunch then back out again to pick up some things from Scrapbook Station and met up with Janine.
Gosh she is glowing. ( Expecting she is....... a little girl ).

Then it was back off home as I had this horrid headache coming on and the kids were rowdy. So Mitch Slept on the way home. And Hayden chattered most of the way.

Tonight I finished my Layout for the Online Class I will be doing at The Scrappers Hub on Wednesday 28th March. Anyone is welcome to join it starts at 8pm.
To see the Teasers go over to Angel Creations using the link on the right hand side in links I visit.

Well it was Mum and Dad's 30th Wedding Anniversary on 12 March so I decided to remake their Wedding Album as the photos were fading and and really were not much to see. Where now they have been scrapbooked. They just have to add their own journalling.
I finished the album and placed a card with it. I wrapped a Thick White Satin Ribbon Bow around the album which was the ribbon from their wedding car. I have made a pocket at the back of their album where I'll put a CD of all their memorable songs they loved while dating upto now. When they came home from their trip away and saw it on their bed, they loved it.

I just thought it was a worthy milestone to acknowledge. To some its just another anniversary, to me it shows me the strength and love my parents have for each other. And hope it will continue for another 30 years or more.

Till next time

Poem - By Lea

I made a wish
To meet up with you
But you had already left.
We were to meet for Coffee and a chat
But God had other plans
I know you wanted to stay
But in your heart you wanted to go
Your son was calling out for his Mummy
and you needed to be with him
I will cherish the time we had together
and your cheery smile, I'll never forget.
Your friendship meant the world to me
You had such a beautiful soul, that God would be proud to have.
Now you can be the mum you always wanted to be.
With your Angel Baby in your arms all snuggled and warm.

I will miss you my friend
Sleep well now till we meet again.

Dani Reunited with her Son Thomas
Angelmummy & Angelbaby.

Sad News

I received some sad news late last night. I think I am just stunned and in shock. Dani my friend that was in NT was due to come back to Adelaide next month for my birthday. She went to Hospital complaining of chest pains the other day and yesterday sometime she had a massive heartattack and she died. Her body will be flown back some time soon. And funeral sometime next week I guess. Not sure on details yet. I have not cried yet as I am still stunned and shocked in disbelief. But I know it will catch up and sink in soon. I am ok at the moment. I can barely talk (voice keeps fading and keep coughing all the time) She was a very close friend to me. She split up with her DH last year sometime and miscarried a little boy the year before at 26 weeks.
she was 29.

I wrote a poem as I don't know how else to express how I feel right now.
May the wind on your face and tossled hair
Be still
May the pain in your heart for your Angel Son vanish
For you may hold him close now.
May your eyes quietly close and breath slowly fade
As you enter into eternity in Heaven.
May your wings grow and visit me
as I know I will truly miss you.
Know this that my heart will cry long tears as your face I will no longer see.
But will remember you and keep you safe in my heart
For a friend like you is hard to come by.
You were my sunshine to lift me up when I was down.
There was never a grey sky with you around.
Today there are storms in my heart.
But still no rain.
As my heart rages with disbelief and justification.
You have not left me, you are tied to my soul with friendship.
And I know I will be forever grateful to have that.
Even though you fly with the Angels now.

I love and will miss you Dani.
You are reunited now.
