Xmas and new year wrap up and my favs of 2009

Oh dear I am such a naughty blogger. I have just realized that I haven't updated my blog for a little while. Oops lol I think I have made up for that in this post. So you may want to grab a coffee.

Ok here goes.
Xmas Missy was up at 6.00 and all excited about the pressies under the tree and in her stocking.
Here is one of the few I snapped. She wasn't sitting still long enough for me to get many.lol
Her favorite pressie from Santa is her Bop it. Just loves it.We had breakie here with friends Jane and Jim and Santa came round on the back of a ute to deliver some lollies out front. Here is Missy waiting for him. Not very patiently mind you.We were all surprised when he called out Merry Xmas Asher as he tossed the lollies out from the back of the ute. We think Santa had words with Uncle Gareth. lol After our friends left we headed up to my parents place where we caught up with my sisters. Missed my brother and the five kids this year as SIL refuses to spend xmas lunch with anyone but her family.
After that we came home for a bit then headed out again, down to Mandurah to spend dinner with Craig's side. Home late and we all crashed.
The next few days we did not that much at all. I took Missy out to the movies to see the chipmonk squeakel with a friend, we went and seen Avatar with friends the next night.
New years was a quite one. Friends over for dinner and videos. We we so engrossed in the video that we didn't even know that new years had passed.

As for scrapping well I have done a bit, mostly working with my next Lime tart dt kit. Boy it is yummy. Want to see just what I have been playing with then pop on over and check it out on the blog. I've been having fun for sure.
Here is a little of what I can share.
52 Weeks.
Well no more pages scrapped yet. Have the pics printed though.
A birthday pic
A Christmas pic
and a pic of this layout.I created it for a challenge over at Artistic and seeing as I started my 52 week album with a pic of my first layout of the year I thought it would be good to finish it with my last.
I am so glad that I kept it up. I so didn't think I would. I will have to take a pic of my chunky album.
I also played along with two challenges at Mystical and created this layout for my friends sisters albumand this one for our family album.I also managed to finish of my last dt layout for the year over at Just scrapbooking using one of the pics from Missy's birthday photo shoot.
Favorites of 2009.

Would have to be one of my best ever scrapping accomplishments this year. After a chat with my friend Mandy where she said she was going to try and find a shabby challenge blog I mentioned to her that I didn't think there was one and that she should start one. Well that was just the push that she needed and Lets get shabby was born.
Here is my first project created for our challenge blog.and here are a few just because layouts.

Well if you all have made it this far you have done well.

A tree, a branch and a goodbye too

A strange name for a post but then you will know why very shortly.lol

I got some yummy happy mail today. Several gorgeous cards from some friends that I will be drooling over in the next few weeks and some Martha Stewart punches from Philippa. I so couldn't help myself when she got some more in and snapped up two before they sold out.
Now for my share.

On the blog it is time for the dt to reveal our creations for the latest product challenge. Philippa sent us all some Collections chipboard branches. I wasn't too sure what to do with mine till I seen this that Philippa posted in our Yahoo group when we were discussing the branches. Simply stunning. It was on display in a Collections showcase put together by Julie Van oosten. It was created by Audrey Underwood and here is what I created.Along with a card too.

Scrapping the music

The new song is up over at STM and seeing as it is my last challenge as a part of the talented team of awesome scrappers I found some time to squeeze in a layout over the weekend. The song is Our house and seeing as I didn't have any unscrapped pics of our house I managed to find an old one of me taken out back of my Nan's place and used the lyrics "way back then" as my title.

I would like to thank Mary and all the girls that have been a part of them team at STM over the past year and a half for their friendship and support. It has meant a lot to me.
Well I'm beat and heading of to bed.

Scrapping the music

We have had a nice long weekend this weekend and too make it even nicer I am on holidays. Not that I can actually do much as my car will be in getting a paint job. I had a great scrappy day with Jane on Saturday at one of out LSS. 12 hours of scrappy fun with some yummy food too. I managed to get three pages, a card and a altered bag almost finished. Although it is only the card(Owl one in last post) and my STM page I can share just now. Yesterday I just pottered at home sorting out some of my scrappy stash to take up to another local for a garage sale. Craig went out fishing and Missy A and I had a nice afternoon. Today Craig decided he wanted to go for a family drive and drive he did. We went and tried out the new freeway all the way to Bunbury, about an hour or so away. Had some yummy fish and chips, Missy had a play on the playground and then came home again and started sorting out some more stuff with a heap more to go tonight.

And here is the new Adand my page.I gave up on doing this at one stage as nothing was working for me. lol I even emailed Eliza to say I would skip this one but I decided it wasn't going to beat me and when I found a pink Prima vine and added it to my fav basic grey background it all just came together in the end.

Over on the Prima blog they have started a monthly Prima product pick They have chosen a range of the yummy goodies and the dt have showcased them on layouts and they have also invited Prima lovers to join in. Seeing as I got some of the new white trellis roses (bottom row third pic) in a parcel on Friday I thought I'd play along seeing as I used them on both my STM and Ad this layouts.

I had a ball on my weekend away and managed to scrap 5 layouts, 4 cards and a tag. Here are a few photos. On Saturday night it was dress up night and Jane, Christine, Tamara and Sarah all dressed up as the Village people. For the weekend there was a banned word. Cute. Whenever you said the word you had to wear a headband till it was said by someone else. We all wore it at one stage at our table but Missy Jane (next to me in the photo) was the queen of cute. She must of wore the band at least 12 times.I have to take photos of them all yet but here is some of what I have done.
