When the 15 year old offers to play lego with the six year old....

...You just know it's going to end badly...

I forgot to post these here last week. Should I be concerned about the teen's violent tendancies or just be pleased he's entertaining his brother? Quandry!

I was very pleasantly surprised to receive a comment telling me that my layout is featured on the Cosmo Cricket blog! You can have a look here :)How exciting! I love the DeLovely range of papers...so bright and funky.

Thanks so much Melissa for pointing it out!

Almost famous...

I very occasionally post my layouts to the Two Peas in a Bucket gallery. Very occasionally. This time it was more to test if my computer could upload to it as I have been having issues uploading things lately.

I uploaded three layouts yesterday and today I have two of them in the top three of all featured categories! Top 2 in Most Viewed, Top 2 in Most Liked and Numbers 1 and 3 in Most Bookmarked! Yikes! Maybe I should upload more often!

See how technically savvy I am to take a screenshot?..so savvy that you can see the 'how to take a screenshot' text window still opened in my screenshot *blush*.

I can so see myself randomly taking screenshots of pretty much everything now that I know how.

*In the time it has taken me to type this post, they are all now in the top 2!*

My husband is flying out to Thailand next week for work and I am very sad to be staying home this year. I am particularly sad to be missing out on the trek to Laos they are taking. I only spent a day there last year and am desperate to see more...maybe next year.

In any case, he will be gone, and I am on a one woman mission to declutter and purge. The house is really not too bad, but has some troubling hot spots since I started work full time.

Like clothes...they breed. I swear they tangle themselves together in the wee small hours and procreate. We have way too many clothes, even for a family of six. I can do with some brutal culling in all of the closets, especially now with all of the kids at school where they wear uniforms 5 days a week.

Connor lives his life in a Superhero costume when he isn't at school, so he should be the easiest. His closet contains mostly lycra! It's a serious fire hazard now that I think about it...

Now the Divine Miss M, she's another story. More shoes and handbags reside in her room than in mine. And that is not right. Time to revert to the natural order of things!

Now to don my cape (or apron) and get to it. No promises, but I'll try my best to take some photos and record my progress. I am quite excited to start getting things more organised and streamlined around here.

Wish me luck!

Tomorrow is the last day to vote for my Smile photo! It would be remiss of me to not give you another opportunity to vote for my top 100 entry in the national Smile with Centro photo competition because you could miss out on the $2000 voting prize!

What sort of friend would I be if I didn't plead with you to click on the link above and fill out the quick, simple voting form and help me win up to $5000? A bad friend, that's what!

Thanks for those who have voted...I really appreciate it. Here it is again in case you missed it the first three times ;)

I haven't shared any scrapping for a while and there's a very good reason for that...I just haven't done much! I have done a few things for classes and upcoming DT work, but little else. I have just started to get back into the swing of things by moving my little scrap nook from the garage into the house.

Sharing my scrapping space with a People Mover and a washing machine does little for one's creativity, let's be honest! Since I moved my things indoors, I have been much more motivated to create :)

I don't think I shared this layout I did for Little Scrapbook Shop a while back using Basic Grey's Oliver range.

Need some scrapping inspiration this weekend?

I created this layout for this month's Cybercrop at Little Scrapbook Shop which is happening this very weekend. Pop in here to check out my sketch and challenge. I also designed the poster above. Designing the Cybercrop posters is always lots of fun with Nic's unique and creative theme ideas :)

I have a few new layouts I can share very soon. In the mean time I have a load of domestic chores to catch upon while the man of the house plays lego. Germaine Greer would have a coronary...
