Pages 11 - 20























Nearly finished .... I might include Boxing Day and a couple of spares...
Shane's away at a Rally at Long Flat (near Wauchope) this weekend so I'm planning a couple of relaxing days finishing this project up and maybe watching a few movies while tackling the ever increasing pile of ironing I have spreading throughout the laundry.....

Hot ... Hot ... Hot

Well the heat has definantly made it's way across.... what are we going to do when summer kicks in?!?

Here's a layout I did for the Nov challange at the scrapsidaisy forum .... I think the photos have already made it here before... it's our oh so scared dog Koda having his first bath...



We set up the pool for the kids last weekend and they couldn't even wait for it to fill up before they jumped in.... we had to buy a new one this year because we threw out the old one thinking that right now I would be swimming in my 12mtr pool instead of driving around in a new Pajero...oh well maybe next year?!



I know halloween is well and truly over and we don't actually do anything for it anyway but I made this house for the Guides party and now Aaron has hijacked it and hung it up in his room.... going for a bit of a scary theme there at the moment ... I dare say the bluetack will melt tomorrow if this weather keeps up and I will be able to get rid of it...



Now back to scrapbooking... each year I do something for the year... in 05 it was a monthly overview... 06 was a day by day look at July....07 was a small book of assorted photos..... last year it was a month by month double layout and this year .... well so far nothing..... but that is about to change and I am following in the footsteps of Ali Edwards and Pip Prosser and I'm sure many others to do a day by day for Dec... The beauty of this is that you get the pages done in Nov so when it comes to Dec all you have to do is add the photos and journaling... so here are my first 10 pages....

Not meant to be here....

Should be on a Girl Guide Camp this weekend in Wauchope but for those that live around here you'll know why I'm sitting at home..... it's been raining for 3 days straight now and so it was cancelled ... apparently the girls from Coffs couldn't even get down.... must be a bit worse up north...

So here I am at home looking around at the hundreds of things I could be doing (we had visiters last weekend and I haven't done a major clean since then) but I've decided that since I wasn't meant to be here anyway I might do nothing and any thing I do do is a bonus.

Actually right now I'm watching this....



again .... i think it's the third time Aaron has put it on.

A few random photos.....

This is our vegi patch ... just putting it out there.... it's looked like this for the last 2 years and Shane has told me that this year he's getting in and planting it out.... lets just wait and see eh...



little bits of green are starting to come through in the forrest again... it's quite amazing how quickly the grass and trees recover....



This is Shane and his mulch pile.... could be a while before we see the bottom of this stuff....


What do you think mum? The symbol is under a glass slide and the background I did with shaving cream and food colouring... let me know if it's OK and I will send it on mon...



and of course a LO... this ones from a camping trip earlier on in the year...



Till later
