Up To My Armpits

In scrapping this weekend...its been bliss! Thats right after getting home from hospital I spent some much needed time in my padded room scrapping away. I mean after all Scrapping saves my sanity most days..so its only I call it my padded room ...hence the title name of the blog! LOL

Justin was out Saturday afternoon at Squash training & yesterday at a Charity golf match for a mate who had a horrible motor bike accident a few months back. This mate is still in a rehab house but his family are still trying to make it by each week...hence the golf day. Apparently they raised a fair amount too....AWESOME WORK to the guys at Westrac @ Mt Thorley who organised the day & to all who went to Support The Hall Family.

I got some goodies delivered today from the gorgeous Chelsea at the Scrap Boutique . I am currently sitting at my scrap desk wondering just what papers to play with first LOL.


This past week I have participated in my first ever CC over at Bon's Scraps. You get a whole week to finish off the challenges! WOW thats awesome in itself. There are three challenges set by the inspired DT:

A colour Combo from Bon























A Sketch from Fran














A Criteria Challenge from Sheree














I also completed my entry for the monthly Competition over at Scrap Boutique. We had to scrap:

A B&W photo
B&W pp's & embellishments
Only a SPLASH of another colour.









My just because LO...well its not just because. Jess found her umbilical chord clip in one of my draws..she was asking about it & we told her that it was from when she was inside me to feed her etc whilst in my tummy. Justin also chimed in to add that it made her belly button. So she then wantedto know how it was 'chopped off' We pulled otu her birth photos to show her how Daddy had cut her chord to make her belly button. So now everytime she looks at her belly button, she smiles & says her daddy made her belly button. its so cute!!


Anyway, time to get organised here...its almost witching hour here...so no scrapping now until after dinner....oh yes & my interview for Rebekkah's homework *scary thought*
