Hi world...we are still here...

...yep its still raining....although we went out for a lovely walk on Sunday and dodged the showers... you arn't supposed to dodge the puddles though...but run through them flat tack and get mud sprayed all up your back....mud guards for kids now theres a thought! We were looking for ducks to feed...couldn't find any....so the kids ate the bread instead...lucky it wasn't too stale!

...first week back at school...Patrick has gone up a class...he is very excited about that and it didn't faze him one bit...it was only his mother who had heart palpitations rofl! No longer one of the little kids!

...at least the kids winter ails have cleared up. unfortunately now its Mum and Dads turn....I went to answer the phone this morning and found I'd lost my voice..how embarrassing...hee hee...so I have no voice for the minute...although I can whisper...not very effective when you are trying to yell at the kids though....or talk on the phone.

To Scrapping...its NZ dares 50th dare...hot foot it over for a fab dare to scrap a winter themed layout using the fashion magazine spread given as inspiration...heres mine...a little dig at all those shiny 'townie' gumboots with flash patterns on them mwah ha ha!!

There is a super duper prize to be won from the gorgeous Danielle Quarmby at Qtea Kits

Here is last Sunday's Bossy Scrapper layout, thanks Janine for a good night...these are alot of fun so do come out of hiding and join us at 8pm every Sunday night at Scrapbook Studio...this week Jennifer (aka littlekiwi) will be 'The Boss'!

The Scrapbook Studio DT have fresh new things going up in the gallery for July. We were asked to create a layout and three cards using the new Imaginisce papers...very pretty and sparkly and pastel!! but cute!! Check out the gallery here and theres more to come from the Piggy Tales and Sweetwater collections...later.


its late....playcentre in the morning...some sunshine would be good....I don't fancy another session shut inside with the kids!!

You are up late - wasn't expecting a visit on my blog 10min within putting up my layout! LOL!! Your house looks gorgeous, so good to be working in the garden. I am too chicken at the moment it is too cold over here!

I love your 'look out' layout.It reminds me of being helped over a fence once by one of our goats when I was little.
