Cheynes Beach

It was great weather this weekend in Albany, so nice we decided on a day out, so packed our lunch and headed out with our new Triton Dual Cab to Cheynes Beach which is not far from Albany. It was a perfect day out there, not many people around and we drove along the beach, parked for our lunch, Bentley had a good run, he so loves the beach and just sat and enjoyed 🌞🌞. Before we left we called at the caravan park shop for an ice cream and then home again, great day

Scrapbooking Day

Today i went to my scrapbooking group and I worked on my This and That book, very easy, I printed my photos from Photoshop so I could have small photos which fit easily on the pages, had to restrain myself with the stickers and washi tape, could have played all day, but went home at lunch time to a lovely home made soup that Brian had made from the Christmas turkey carcass

This and that journal

Today after good tidy in the craft room a started my This and That Journal from stampin up, I can see this is going to be fun. It's like a mini scrapbook that you can do any time, doesn't have to be photos just stuff you collect maybe from a concert, day out at the park etc. you can buy stickers, washi tape and also a great date stamp too.
It will be on page 155 of the new catalogue which goes LIVE next Tuesday 2nd July 
I have decorated the front and will play around inside later

Stamping up make and take

Yesterday I was at demonstrator meeting where we did what is called a make and take, which simply means we make a card to take away with us, always fun, also we each get a little gift and mine was a Stampin   up bag, now wouldn't we all like that to be full of stampin up goodies.

Food food

Well good day today, I went to stampin up demo day, great fun, will post our make and take tomorrow but I left Brian in the kitchen and he baked two loaves of bread and also got our SolarDom  convection microwave oven out and cooked a roast chicken in 30 mins and then roast veg, I am a very lucky girl, and Bentley is hoping he is a lucky boy

Stampin up card

Today I tried out the swallowtail butterfly stamp from stampin up. It's a large stamp and I got my idea from http://flowerbug.typepad.com/my_weblog/2013/04/freakin-birthday-bash.html. A great site. My colours are the same Pool Party and soft suede but my photo isn't as good, again a simple card, clear embossing and I think a great card,

A tidy up of the craft room

I decided today to have tidy of my crafty room, keep all my Stampin Up stuff in one place, tim Holtz in another, in other words clear the decks so I can see my table.
I discovered this wooden box which I decorated about 12 months ago, picked the box up at a garage sale and sanded, painted and decorated, looks pretty I think, but will probably add some more to it.
Lovely sunny day here in Albany to start but now looks like rain and feels cold, I have some Dahl made last week so that's for tea with rice. The quote in the frame is one of Louise Hay's and a favourite of mine 😄😄😄
