A Mixed Bag

I thought it might be nice to start this blog post with a little plug for The Scrapbook Princess - the scrapbooking store where I work. We are having a 30% off sale right now which makes for a great saving on all of your scrapping goodies. You can find us on Beenleigh-Redland Bay Rd in Cornubia if you want to snaffle a bargain! Loads of gorgeous things like these little rolls of ribbon...like a bowl full of licorice allsorts...but not ;)

I captured a few pics of Connor this afternoon in the bid to practice using this new lens. I haven't had any time to really play with it so am taking a few snaps as often as I can. Despite the cheesy poses and the food around the mouth they are a bit cute ;) He is all eyes and eyebrows this kid!

Watch him lift off his head...great trick this!

We have a visitor staying with us at the weekend who has offered more photography opportunities than the kids! This is Koala Lou from the book 'Possum Magic'. Koala Lou is passed around Ethan's year two/three composite class as an exercise in journaling and documenting. Koala Lou comes everywhere with us for the entire weekend and Ethan will submit diary entries and pictures as a record of her visit. He is loving it! Koala Lou is strapped into the car everywhere we go and Ethan is taking his role as host/entertainer very seriously.

She has a bizarre resemblance to Olivia Newton John I think...

This layout is one I made for Little Scrapbook Shop this week using the My Mind's Eye Andrea Victoria range. I used the moody photo taken last week with a chocolate photo action run over it.

I also managed to get through to another round of Embellished Idol this week and made this layout for my week 5 entry. The criteria was to make a layout featuring a top 5 list of places you want to visit or things you want to do before you die LOL!

Simple style layout for this multi-photo layout. Now we wait and see if I get voted through another round...

Koala Lou needs to watch a DVD apparently...BRB...
