More jars! n stuff

Hello people. Well I decided rather than just plugging myself and Manda for our goods, I'd actually share some other stuff for a change LOL!
I have a tonne of Moccona coffee jars that I've been washing and doing stuff with. There are sooo many ideas out there!
I have made two lolly jars for the boys' teachers so far, and used the lids for the huge jars as tealight candle holders... the big jars also I'll be altering and making into cookie jars as gifts for Christmas. We even used a large one as a fish bowl for Jaana's fighting fish!! It's very VERY well scrubbed though! lol. We kept the plastic part of the lid and added slits...this is to keep our cats' paws out! lol
We made money jars too



I scavenged some jars off mum too, not that we didn't already have HEAPS...they were behind her shed and I think they've been there for years!!! but I have soaked them (I use hot water with Laundry powder ;) the sticker pretty much slides off itself after about half an hour!)




I have completed the February 'SHE' challenge at Scrapchat...LOL only a few more months to catch up on now LOL...





And just because I can't help myself...for those you haven't had a chance to visit Miss C design...here is the clear stamp storage album I have created to sell..

Today has been a really hot day hasn't it? 35 degrees celsius in our kitchen and it's cooler inside than out here too! EEK! Not sure how I will cope...might have to lock myself into our bedroom with the air con haha.


I need to get onto the challenges I have to catch up in over at Scrapchat . I have rejoined, I was a bit afraid at first but the ladies there are very forgiving and have warmly welcomed me. Now to PROVE to them I'm for real lol. I know they'll see I am a very different person nowadays.

Anyways, I better go get ready to get the squids from school :D

Made X Manda

If it's a new camera strap you need, or if the one you have doesn' match what you're wearing - (HEY! it's all about style...and like my BF always says "ACCESSORISE ACCESSORISE ACCESSORISE!!" LOL... ) You need to head over to Made X Manda and pick up a new camera strap or two! They are fabulous and such great quality..I will be investing in some...just as soon as I gets me a new camera that is! LOL. I guess I could get one for my film camera...I don't use it often but it would look good on the shelf! hehe...

GET OVER THERE NOW! YOU KNOW YOU WANNA!!!

Made X Manda spread the word!

Watch this space!!

It worked!!
Are you looking for a safe and stylish way to store your clear stamps? Are you having trouble with the stamps falling out of the acetate sleeves (or is that just me??lol)? Don't want to carry too much bulk and weight when it's crop time and you have to travel?
Well fear not...it's coming!! The solution you've been dreaming of!

I'm excited today!

For those with clear stamps... I have something pretty exciting in store...well hopefully it works out the way I'm planning!!

Today is a busy busy day.

I've been scrapping!

digi scrapping lol...

Went to see Saw VI on Wednesday...it was awesome!!!!

Murray painted the boys room on Tuesday. The feature wall is Caltex red and they love it! I reckon it's just awesome,


Went to get new bunk beds for the boys today. I must say the drive up the coast with my father was rather pleasant! The bunks match the red wall perfectly. Just have to get a Transformers rug and a Transformers doona set for Mika and their room is done. I will post pics of the finished room after it's finished lol.

Jade made cupcakes on Thursday - don't they look yummy? All by herself too!! Flowers n all!!


I took a couple of pics of our yard this morning ... the lawn looks a little sad but it's definitely getting betta!



Anyways, better go now, there's rain acomin and I wanna scrap! lol

It's a new era...

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. I haven't been as active online for the past year. I have had a lot of changes in my life, and now that I am settled into a very comfortable lifestyle and I am happier than I ever thought was humanly possible, I have sorted out a routine and am ready to be a part of an online community again. I have decided I will wash clean the slate of the past, and start all over again. I hold no opinions or grudges. I have gotten rid of any animosity I had in the past - it was there, I suppose, because I was in such an unhappy place and I could never find the joy in a thing besides scrapping (I'm talking pre-Murray days!) I was, in short, an asshole, and now I know it I want to extend my apologies to those who feel they need it from me. I am so sorry. I am not in the business of hurting people intentionally but I have hurt a lot of people in my lack of contact with them. I have just rejoined scrapchat, awaiting approval...hopefully things will be ok.
I miss Lynnie so much but I haven't been in touch with her for so long I doubt she will forgive me this time. Yunno I could have called too, but I haven't. There is no other reason for it than I just get carried away with life in my immediate surroundings and forget to go outside that. I still have some confidence issues, and occasionally I can't even call my bank or Teslstra if there is an issue - other times I can call with guns ablazing...I honestly do not know why I am that way, i just am I always have been...I remember as a kid if there was something in the paper I wanted to buy, I would make my dad call the number while he was trying to make me do it - in the end I was left deflated and without the item in question. So it's a lifelong problem, which has upset people along the way...I know it's 'not hard to pick up the phone' but for me, sometimes, really it is!

So there it is...today is the first day of the rest of my life (again LOL!!!! but in a different area of my life)

Till next time!

MANSON...MANSON...MANSON...!!!!!!!!!!

Photo deleted? whatever...

anyways,
How awesome was the manson concert on Saturday night?? Liz and I drank Bundy Reds..mmm... I just have no words to describe how freakin awesome it was!!!! I took some pics, albeit not so good because it's hard to stand still in a MOSH PIT!!!!! I have learnt never to wear heels into a mosh pit...I was bare foot by the start of the second song because my thighs were caning from jumping lol!!! I tied one shoe to my bag and Liz did the other to hers hahaaaaa....then some freakin 10 foot tall dude in front of me must have had stillettos on because the top of my foot all of a sudden started to hurt...
I lost Liz and matt in the crowd during the last song, which as anyone who knows them knows Beautiful People is always the last song they perform...

Here is the setlist...

and here are a couple of pics...I did get some reeeeeeally good ones but I'm not going to share them online...





and here are my feet the next day....bruised but not bleeding, so not too bad for someone barefoot among a bunch of docs and other selected hard heavy boots! lol




I am so happy that I went and I couldn't have had better friends to go with. Thanks Matt for driving and thanks Liz for everything else! lol....

My legs are still sooooo sore!!!!

Till next time!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MURRAY!

I love you with all my heart and soul...we've 'weathered' through one whole year...and you still wanna marry me HAHAHA....

Hope you have a great day my sexy man!

omg

How cute are those fish!!! -->
Hover your mouse over the water and they'll all swim to the cursor hahha then if you click, you'll feed them... I just love it!

so much for it lol

not that anyone expected me to actually do it! I haven't taken a pic of myself - yunno I have that much in my life I don't even think about my blog...how rude! haha. Oh and I haven't given up the rot stix either *sigh*

Well It's raining today and it's lovely! The lawns were mowed yesterday just in time...it looks fabulous out there now...I think I might go find a chasllenge and scrap a little before we go to my brother's house to paint my niece's bedroom...

I'm loving these two songs right now...

Sex On Fire - Kings of Leon

Lay where you're laying, don't make a sound
I know they're watching, they're watching
All the commotion, the kiddie like play
Has people talking, talking

You, your sex is on fire

The dark of the alley, the breaking of day
The head while I'm driving, I'm driving
Soft lips are open, knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying, you're dying

You, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire

Hot as a fever, rattling bones
I could just taste it, taste it
If it's not forever, if it's just tonight
Oh, it's still the greatest, the greatest, the greatest

You, your sex is on fire
And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire

And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire

*****************************************

Kings of Leon - Use Somebody Lyrics

I've been roaming around always lookin down at all I see.
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach.
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
And all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers undercover of the street

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
Off in the night while you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
Somebody
(Go and let it out)
Someone like you
Somebody
Someone like you
Somebody
Someone like you
Somebody
I've been roaming around always lookin down at all I see


*****************************************

They make me happy. lol. I want to find a player for my blog...I used to have one but I can't remember what it was, if you read this and you know, and I haven't found it yet can u please let me know!! THANKS!

366 day challenge...

I've dcided out of sheer boredom that I will attempt this again. The idea for 'take 2' came from boredom but the challenge is more for self development lol. I have to give up smoking because if i don't Murray can't and if he doesn't he will just keep on getting sicker and sicker (he has COPD - chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). So doing this project will help me to keep my determination...I can't just do one thing at a time...and I thought it might be nice to see how things improve as I quit smoking...my skin I'm positive will look better, but also I thought it'd be a laugh to see if the 'crankies' show in my pics - I mean apparently I have a bit of a 'dramatic' face - meaning no matter what emotion I'm trying to put across, people will always see what i'm really feeling (or do they? hmmmm hahahaaaaaa) . No really my mum always said i show too much on my face, I can't hide shit! haha

so yea...well anyways here is the firls one I took just before..

Oh and I said 366 day challemge because tomorrow would be an ideal day to start as it's the 1st of September, BUT I am too impatient lol...
till next time!

DONE

OK I'm done messing with my blog....soooo ova it!! lol....PLEASE comment to tell me what you think!!!

Digi scrap and stuff n shit

Well boy have we spoilt ourselves! lol. Murray bought a new computer, it's so great! and he bought me Scrapbook Deluxe 4.0 for it too. It has so many more elements than the last one I had and it was half the price too go figure! Anyways I have been having fun with it. I print out elements and use them for paper scrapping but also I've done a couple of digi layouts. Below is one of them, I really like it...



I also get a lot ideas from the program for paper scrapping, because there are 'quick layouts' where you just add your own journaling and photos.
Oh and the computer was a package deal from WOW sight & sound, it came with an awesome Epson printer/scanner/copier!! VERY happy here!!


What else lately? hmmm OH OH!! NEW SHOES!!! We went out to dinner one night when Murray's mum was here, and I planned on wearing a dress and I felt so pretty...then I broke the only pair of shoes I had that go with dresses I have...soooo upset! SO I went and got myself a new pair of shoes which go with anything from the jeans I have to the dresses I have YAY! like 'em? Murray LOVES them on me lol... I love to wear high heels cuz I'm a bit of a shorty - not extremely but a LOT shorter than Murray! heheee


A bit of random stuff -
We were out in the yard doing a bit of mowing (we also got a new ride-on mower! lol) and clearing of the yard and we came across a snake!! EEEK! they are out already! then that night our neighbour (and my best friend) had a TWO METRE diamond python in her rafters on the porch!!!! very beautiful and majestic. He (or she) went into the roof cavity, which is great because it'll keep the mouse/rat factor to a minimum - ahhh the joy of living in the bush! lol... oh and this pic was taken up at her house too, the possums sleep by day in the car port which they have destroyed...now they hang out (and almost fall out!) when they sleep lol... see her tail?



Till next time!!
