Part way through January already.....
Well this month I have joined Jen Hall's "The write stuff" online classes. It is a month long focus on journaling on our pages. I'm really enjoying it so far. If you are interested then head to her blog: http://www.jenhall.typepad.com/ and find out the details.
Layout #7 - be happy enjoyThis is nothing like Jen's layout but I really wanted to use this paper by Urban Lily so thought the circles would work in well.
Layout #5 - Defining Keelan
Layout #3 - Always be happy
Layout #2 - Adolescence
Layout #1 - New Year goals Over at Heaven-Sent we have a blind challenge Competition for January 2009 :

This has been my go at it using mainly Fiskars products. Heidi Grace - Little bird's tale papers, Fiskars - border patrol stamps and a Heidi Grace photo corner accent. Cardstock is TLC.I had quite a lot of fun doing this one and it is the first time I have done a blind scrapping challenge as such although it is very similar to doing a step-by-step challeng over at Scrapwitch. Not that I find time to do many of those unfortunately.
Back to some Octoberfest layouts from Jen's October classes. I can't believe I still have about 13 of these to catch up on. I thought I was cruising through them but I still have heaps on my list. I should stop procrastinating and just do them.
Layout #4 - Life is good
Layout #2 - Look w hat I made Mum(How hard is it to photograph a transparency page?)
Layout #1 - Make everyday countIt's the front side of layout two transparent page.
Funnily enough I really enjoyed doing these pages after not being sure having done a couple of acrylic albums and not really enjoying them. It must just be the fact that they are mini albums and not my forte.
On the home front - yes I do, do the occasional thing around the house..... we shifted about 5 tonnes of dirt to level out the lawn area over the last couple of weeks.
This is how the pile looked after about a third of the dirt was shifted.
This is how it looked after quite a lot was shifted up to level it out and below are the clydesdales we employed to even it out.
It will look a bit like this for a while as we wait for the lawn to regrow back over the top of it. I finally also can walk all the way up to my clothesline up the back without stepping off of paving bricks. That's very exciting after almost a year of uneven ground and patches of dirt.
The little rainwater tank is now in but with 41 degree heat tomorrow I don't expect that it will get filled in a hurry.
