Well none of my layouts got picked up by one mag, but at least that means I can post them on here :) I'm still waiting to hear back about another couple, I like those ones best.

This one is quite old - My friends daughers second birthday party.

Christmas last year - I was at a loss for where to put the title, and im not quite happy with where it is but ah well lol.

My first layout for Journaling Challenges goes up on the 15th, Im all finished, just have to photograph it :)

Well I bit the bullet and just did it...

I sent my first submissions to Scrapbooking Memories and Creating Keepsakes today :) I'm not expecting to get any of them accepted but I'll never know unless I try.

If none of them are picked up I will post a couple up on here.

I'm Back :)

Wow, its really be a loooonnng time!

Alots changed - I now have a 3 month old daughter, Hannah May and i'm living with my partner.

Im also now on the creative team over at Journaling Challenges. I was totally stoked when I got my email from Beth :) Its been one of my scrapbooking goals for a long time to be on a creative team....Now onto my next one of being published lol That one might be a long time off.

I'm going to try and share my scrapbooking pages on here. I've been doing alot more since Hannah was born, I want to try and document as much of her life as possible because I know I cant remember everything.

If anyones reading this, please leave me a comment ;)Would be nice to know i'm not just talking to myself lol

Isnt that stone just gorgeous! Eds unveling was on the 27th of Dec. I feel alot more at peace now that hes got his headstone, seems strange I know, but I cant pinpoint exactly why. I think its alot more final now, proves that hes really not coming back :( The stone really holds heat! When I went to spend some time there alone (and take those pics) it wasnt very hot, but his stone was really warm to the touch.

Click the photos to see them larger. And yes, thats Linkin Park lyrics on the back of his stone :) His mum, Kathy, did very well designing this for him.

My gorgeous cousin Jorja. I love this photo of her, shes really changed over the past year - really becoming her own little person and not just the baby of the family :)

All of my cousins - Its not very often theres a photo of all of them. Harley (the big bush of hair at the back lol) lives with his father so hes not in Taranaki very often. No, the dog isnt my cousin lol Harley picked him up and had to have him in the photo.

Awww so cute, brother and sister :) I like the framing of this shot.

And one of her highness, Ebony. I havent taken a decent photo of her for ages, and I love this one. Once again shes pulling all her hair out (which you cant tell cos shes starting at the base of her tail), Im thinking it must be a summer thing, she might be gettting too hot. Shes done it the past three summers.

Just some christmas photos...

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

I spent christmas with my family as I always do, and I actually had alot of fun. I never take photos at christmas, but after seeing everyone elses inspirational christmas albums I decided I had to get in on it tooo hehe. Here are some of the best photos.... Silly blogger uploaded them in the wrong order lol

One thing I did forget tho, was to get a family photo of all of us :( damn.

Hope you all had a great christmas and are looking forward to an awesome new years!!!

Once again its been ages since I wrote anything, a little bit has happened...

Mum got married last weekend :) Congrats to her and Jeff. I was the photographer, well for most of the day lol That's a long story in itself lol Ive left my memory card and reader at home so I cant upload any pics at this stage. On the way back from the wedding we stopped at a park in Wanganui. Ive got some photos of that to upload too, esp a great one of Lydia on the merry-go-round lol what a poser shes turning out to be! lol

Ive decided that im not all that interested in wedding photography, im just going to focus on portraits and landscape. They seem way easier to deal with lol. Also signed up for a Interior Design course, it looks interesting, and its quite similar to scrapbooking and photography in a way.

I FINALLY brought "Twilight" by Stephanie Meyer. It is an amazing book! I sat down at 5pm and started reading it, and I couldn't put it down lol. I sat in the same spot for 6 hours lol I finished it just after midnight :D I couldn't even manage a break for tea lol I ended up eating and reading at the same time hehe. I cant remember the last time I loved a book that much. Ive never sat and read one that big in one go either. I think I connected with it so well because I know what its like to love someone as much as Bella loved Edward and know that its gonna be a hard road. My favourite part was when Edward took Bella to the clearing on the sunny day :) Cant wait to see the movie now!!! It comes out in NZ on xmas day. Ill have to wait till after I get back from Eds Unveiling before I can see it.

Also, another fascination of mine at the moment is a TV series, 'Moonlight'. Its on TV 2 Thursdays at 10.30pm. Looks like im into vampire stories now hehe.

I haven't managed any scrapbooking in sooooo long. I want the next Twilight book, so I'm bribing myself, lol, I have to finish 3 scrapbook pages before I can buy the next book. 3 Pages might not sound a lot, but it is for me! I tend to just sit there and push paper around, and when I finally start something I decide its not good enough or I cant work out how to finish it lol

I do have one pic to show tho, this is my cat Savanah, sleeping in a shopping bag from work lol

Alrighty, I think thats enough for now :) Catch ya laters.
