It's 2 months later and.....

I killed my computer last week, BOO HOO! Lost everything so now I have the lengthy task of reinstalling all my crap. Luckily all photos and music were backed up but heaven knows what programs I've lost.
On a lighter note, I've just returned from W.A. and dds' graduation. Weather was too hot but fine which was a nice change from our last visit when it rained every day! Here is the layout I did of the graduation. I bought a packet of canvas paper while away and used it to print this photo, I quite like the effect. Poor dd was so terribly tired, jetlagged, but the night went well and immediately afterward dh and I jumped on the redeye flight home. After spending several days with ds in Melbourne we boarded a flight for the last leg of our trip home. This is when the fun started. All strapped in ready for takeoff and the front door hingepin broke, OOPS, so everyone was removed from the plane while another one was organised. One and a half hours later we were finally on our way. So glad the door decided to fall off on the ground and not at 30,000 feet!

Kids in Kathmandu

I love the colours of this page. I used pp from Daisy Ds Gypsy range which has an oriental feel. I hand cut the title because I DON"T have a Sillohette...yet. Come on people it's Christmas! Just think of the joy one $600 electronic die cutting machine would bring to this wouldbe scrapper!
Anyhow, back to the lo. I used brown & cream primas with orange crystal centres and my favourite embellie, at the moment, magic mesh. I punched the sun shapes from the pp and added 3 metal buttons to finish the page.
The pic is of Anita & Andrew celebrating her 23rd birthday in the capital of Nepal. You can read all about their 3 month travels through India & Nepal on their blog.
Well I've got a full day ahead, laundry, cleaning, etc..... so see you soon.

Hey I just made my first movie!!!

Don't get too excited cos it's not much but at least I had a go, and you know what they say about practice! Anyhow have a squiz at this. Max is the cocky in the cage and Buddy is cockatoo that flew in and made himself at home. He stayed for a week before he was captured by someone on the other side of town.

Post Numero Uno

Well much to the delight of dd's #1, 2, 3 & #1 son, I have ventured into the world of blog. I can just hear them now saying "finally mothers' got with the program". Don't expect too much though, I'll probably forget this thing exists once I sign out lol.
Hey, Dh has just arrived home from work so it's time for a cuppa and a chat. I'll catch you all later, MAYBE.
Oh, nearly forgot, here's my latest scrapbook page. Just finished this morning. The pp has been in my stash for years so about time it saw the light of day. The pic is of Buddy the cockatoo that flew into our yard for a visit and the other is Misty the peahen and her chicks. One chick disappeared but the second one, Skye, is now fully grown and lives with the chickens in the chook pen. She really does believe she's a chicken.
