Scrapbooking November 11, 2009

I’m off to a scrapbooking retreat with ladies from A Scrappe Angels Heaven.  I’ve been looking forward to this for the last month.  I’ve been packing lots of papers, printing photos and trying to put together a few kits so that I can have a productive weekend.  Here are some recent layouts.

A night to remember November 11, 2009

I thought I would share a couple of photos that were taken at the Witchmount Winery.  I attended a school ball with some good friends but we were surprised by this unannounced guest who stole the limelight as soon as he arrived.  He does need to watch what he drinks in the future.

Halloween food November 10, 2009

Filed under: Special Occasions — judithbeattie @ 4:52 am

Yes I know it’s a bit late for Halloween but I thought I would share some photos of some of the food that was prepared by customers and staff of A Scrappe Angels Heaven.  We went there for a Halloween crop and had a fantastic time.   It’s an annual event.  I am looking forward to next year already.

Sharing some recent scrapbooking November 7, 2009

Filed under: Scrapbooking — judithbeattie @ 11:32 pm

I have been doing a lot of scrapbooking recently.  I am really enjoying my craft work at the moment.  These are all layouts that were done fairly quickly.  I have been doing a lot of work on art trading cards recently but I am in the middle of several swaps so I can’t share the cards I have done as yet but I will do soon.

It’s been a long time. November 7, 2009

It’s been a long time since I blogged but I do intend keeping this blog going.  Each time I log on to blog I see my previous posts about my father and I find it difficult to continue.  I really miss him.   Today I have decided that I just have to get on with things so I am posting another couple of cards that I have made recently.

I have scrapped July 11, 2009

I have finally got back to scrapbooking and I’ve done lots of layouts recently.  I’ve been scrapping our cats quite a bit.   They are very photogenic and make great subjects so you can expect lots more cat layouts.

It’s been tough June 28, 2009

Filed under: Life in general — judithbeattie @ 12:46 pm

It’s been a tough couple of months but I am back home and trying to get myself organised.  I haven’t blogged because each time I logged on and saw the photo of my dad I got all teary again.  It’s not what he would have wanted so I am just going to have to get on with things. 

I’m not going to share photos this time but I have made some cards and done some scrapping.  I can’t bring myself to scrap any photos of my dad as yet but that will come in time.   My daughter has had her whole life disrupted and I need to focus on her having some fun over the school holidays as well as getting some scrapping time for myself.  

I need to get back into some sort of routine.

My Dad passed away earlier this evening.  He is now free of all pain and his disability.
