On a roll with photos.
Another project I have finally finished is my floral cone that I have be trying to work out the finishing details for the top. Tada! found this chipboard house and next thing decorated it, glue it in place, added a simple Flower Garden charm a sprinkle of flower soft and finished. YES I know a few months later but looks great. I really enjoy doing things slowly i think.
Finished Designs finally Posted
Well I finally took some photos of my framed 3 page layout using the Webster Papers Hello Beautifull Range and I just love them. The Webster range is so much me, once I saw them and found the prefect photos to go with it turned out beautifully.

A Few days of rain creates this....
Well this is the Bremer River Bridge just down the road from Crafty and also the bridge to my kids school. I took this Thursday morning at 8.30am after dropping the kids off at school. There is another smaller bridge to the right of the river sign somewhere under all that water. By 10.30 that morning we had to pick up the kids from school ... they were just over the moon.

Blogging?
My wonderful son Tevan ask me the other day what's a blog? I mention that it is like an online diary, done on a computer instead of a book so we can easily add photos and make it look pretty. So I starting to show him other blogs and my friend Megan's blog that I follow. He soon released that it is a great way to share ideas and information with family and friends. Next thing it was can I have a blog I could put my lego pictures on it LOL. With a giggle and "I will have to think about it", I managed to sidetrack his mind off the blog topic.
After talking with Tevan my DH starting asking more and more about my ideas for my blog. Questions about the shop blog and why I haven't started it yet? He now understands why I am always asking how to do this on the computer or how to do that. I'm still learning how to do things on a blog before I start on the shop blog so that I can teach the staff to work on it also. I don't understand Html at all and not to bright when it comes to computers. But he also asked do people really look at different blogs or do they only go onto friends blogs? Well that started a whole discussion on things I have seen over the last few months on other blogs and why I love it so much now, but not to sure how you get yourself out in Blog Land?
See I first learnt about blogs through a customer at Crafty - Julie asked me to order the Somerset Studio Artful Blogging book - ordered in volume 1 had a little look but didn't really take note or understood what it was all about. Ordered in the volume 2 and had a closer look this time and OMG started looking at the blogs listed in the book and have be inspired since. It is amazing how everyone see the world in a different light. Willing to share and inspire others with words of wisdom, creative crafts and unreal life experiences. Then I decided after talking with Megan - who had a blog already, that I will take the step and start my own blog. Weeks later came up with a name and began to type. Still working out how to add things to my site so is very much a work in progress type blog at the moment, but having lots of fun learning new things along the way.
Hopefully soon I will have the courage to start the shop blog... not to sure what everyone will be looking for in our crafty blog but have a few exciting things planned, just got to work out how we do it on the blog side of things.... keep you updated.
Wealth of Knowledge
Have you every had your brain working overtime that you can't even think straight... I can tell you my mind at the moment is going 100 miles an hour. After our 3 day business seminar in Sydney (Trevor and myself - no kids for 3 days yipee - i missed them at the end) and sharing many life stories with other business owners you see everything in a different light. Well I see rainbows and ideas are bouncing off the walls. I need to get back to earth an start to focus and set new goals to make all these ideas work. BUT HOW? I stay awake at night till well midnight 1am thinking. So began reading and this works to the point that I'm asleep and the books with me in bed, but wake up first thing still thinking of it all and wanting to keep reading and not get the kids ready for school. I think I need HELP... It is amazing the knowledge people are willing to share when you are with like minded people. I was very much inspired by Peter Daniels and Justin Herald - to completely opposite people that had a wealth of knowledge. So I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to 2 people who mentioned to us about the seminar - it was the best inspiring 3 days, well worth the time out from our family life and work.
School Disco
My 3 kids had a school disco on Wednesday Night 6th May which they just had to go to. They were all excited but spent most of the time eating the sauage sizzle and stayed outside. But it was still 2 and a bit hours of fun I guess.

Mother's Day Gifts
Mothers Day was full of giggles, hugs and kisses. My 3 wonderful children surprised me with the above gifts. Tevan my eldest was so excited to give me the scrapkit he purchased at the school Mothers Day Stall - best of all it is a boys themed kit which he wishes to add his photos too. Kyarnin our middle child was keen to get me flowers this year and kept this plant hiding somewhere in his room until mothers day. He made sure it was watered daily by spraying it with my water bottle (wondered where it disappeared too). Leticia with her giggles all weekend - try not to tell mum was Ky's words to Leticia- was just as excited as the other 2 boys. She made a beautiful Flower Cone with a special mothers day verse and photo on top, a handmade card plus purchased a note book and coin purse from the Mothers Day Stall at school. I was completely delighted with the thoughts that came with these gifts. Thank you all for making mothers day a special day filled with love and memories.

Learn New Things
As you can see been playing around with Flickr. LOVE IT! But I now need to work out how I use it with this blog. As you can see below already tried 2 test runs. First just a simple test. Then next came a photo which is one of Melissa Frances Chipboard House Kits - created this when she was over in Brisbane at Bumble Bee Crafts in a workshop for the Retailers. Next I would love to add a collection to the side bar area of my blog? Not to sure if it is possible yet I think I will need to research about this a little more. Hopefully it will be a gadget I can add simply.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY
A warm and heartfelt Happy Mothers Day to all the wonderful and caring mothers of the world. Hope you have a cherished day with family and friends.
