Lazy Post
I'm off to do some housework.

How nice is that photo of John with all three children (except for the thumb in the mouth)? Can't wait to scrap it!

These are my favourite two sets, just to give you an idea of how absolutely gorgeous these ribbons are. Okay.... so my non-scrapping friends are probably scratching their heads in wonder right now, but let me tell you that ribbon is VERY important in life - LOL!!
(I have to credit that I borrow these pictures from Scrapbooks and More who have the entire range here.)

Leish and I also managed to catch up with numerous friends and acquaintances, including the lovely Kerrin, who was a key person in organising the entire event. From our short visit, plus the great things others have said, I'd say it was a major success - well done K!!
I also caught up with Cheryl (from one of my suppliers - Aussie Scrap Source) and Marni T. It is becoming more and more obvious to me that, yes, I'm tall..... but I think that, on a whole, I am finding that most scrapbookers tend to be non-tall!! I was stoked, standing next to Kerrin for the middle photo, to find that we are basically the same height. K mentioned that I'm tall, so I guess she's noticed the general scrapbooker's height thing too!
(Note to the people who have recently said I am photogenic: These photos are proof that, unless I control the situation, I some how end up with the most ridiculous "photo-grin" ever seen!!)

When I was younger, skinnier and less reserved, I spent about four years in a small theatre group. We had lots of fun performing various shows and reviews, my favourite being Chicago. This would have to be my favourite photo from those years - backstage on tour before we all went on to perform "Age of Aquarius" (from Hair, the musical). Obviously there were another fortyish (?) cast members, but I was sitting on the stairs chatting with one of the boys when I was suddenly surrounded by those whom you see here.... and someone clicked the photo. (Look how skinny I look! I can't believe I thought I was fat! ....and how high is that split?)
The other thing about this photo is the boys in it. One of them was persuing me - we ended up dating for nearly two years - one had a crush on me, I had a crush on another and two were just really good friends. I'm not saying who's who, though!
How's that for a bit of a laugh?

I'm not overly talkative today, so just a short post. I'm off soon to go to Scrapbook City's first birthday sale/celebration. Just a good reason for me to get over there for a browse, really!! If I'm lucky, I'll get over to a few other scrap shops as well. We'll see what time brings.
Happy Saturday!!

It's funny, really. I don't usually do layouts about me. It is easier to do them about someone else. I am facing the ME layouts & projects this weekend, though. Kim's class last night - ME. SAM's Cyber Crop theme - ME. Scrapapple DT project - ME. Just when I don't want to be looking at me, even with Mother's Day on Sunday.
Speaking of Mother's Day... I have the whole day planned! I am going to sleep and scrap!! We will visit John's mum on the Saturday - when she has eight kids to visit her, we tend to spread it out over the weekend. I will see my mum either on the Saturday or during next week. I just need some time for me. I know that sounds selfish, but I've found (yesterday and today) that I am far more emotional about things than I thought I was.
Long story short? I just can't wait to get in and scrap to my heart's content, really. I have so many things I am trying to finish. I hope to get a few things done at least!

I certainly didn't see that one coming!! It was a BIG surprise and not what I was talking about a few posts ago when I said to watch the mags!!

Love My Toys by Amelia (four years old). They both wanted the same title and had so much fun raiding my stash for bits and pieces.

I love flowers on boyish layouts. Don't ask me why!

Can't WAIT to meet Faith and give Toni all the goodies I've been putting away for her over the past months!!
....and, who knows.... there may be more baby news on the way too!!
