The start of my NEW LIFE!!!

This month I had a layout published in the Scrapbooking Memories Magazine. It was a layout about how I was committing to be fit.... I took a photo of my new runners that I bought in preparation of getting off the couch and to the gym.... Well.......... These shoes look exactly the same... Worn half a dozen times... And not for what they were intended to be used for :/ after seeing that layout published I got a huge kick up the butt... And from some gentle prodding from some of my gorgeous friends, I started going to the gym again. I am leaving shortly to go to my first ever PT session.... And I am scared shitless!!! I know it is going to be hard.... BUT I HAVE JUST GOT TO FUCKING DO IT, in the words of the very inspirational Michelle Bridges ;)

I am going to share a very embarrassing photo of me, all 70.4 kilos of me :(

Wish me luck on this hard and long journey xxx

October Out of the Hat

I love the criteria for this months OOTH! We had two use 2 complimentary colours (I used blue and yellow), paper tearing and some felt.

I was looking through my material box looking for some felt to match my papers when I remembered some pre cut felt sheets that I had bought soooo long ago and hadn't even used yet :/ they were perfect for this challenge.

Thanks for dropping by, I love reading your comments xxxx

A Wendy Smith Creation

I thought I would share with you the gorgeous layout that Wendy Smith did for me at the Savvy Delights Retreat a couple of weeks ago. I was lucky enough to get Wendy for Snap for the second year in a row:)

Mini photography session

I was lucky enough at the Savvy Delights Retreat to have a mini phot shoot with the very talented Tanya Kember from TMK Photography from Wollongong (sorry I can't seem to link from my iPad, so if you want her contact details just let me know ;)) Omg this girl can work some magic with her camera! I {heart} all the photos that I got on my disc from her.

I wasn't home long from the retreat when I went and got them all printed. I have scrapped 4 of them so far....

Some Savvy Delights Retreat Shares

A few weeks ago I flew down to the Savvy Delights Retreat at Tahmoor. What a fabulous bunch of girls to scrap the weekend away with!!!

It was great to catch up with some old friends and make many more. I managed to get 15 layouts done plus a couple more on the Sunday night at Sar's before I flew home at lunch time on Sunday (and that's story for another day lol)

Here's some of my favorites

My other love!!!

I am spending this weekend doing another one of my passions... Racing my car at Queensland Raceway. Crazy hey? I love the feel of the power of my V8 engine! And of course the feeling of beating the boys at their own game bahaha! The look on their faces when they are beaten by a 'chick' is priceless! Well I am off to line up in the staging lanes!
See you at the finish line!!!

Aaahhhhhh..... The serenity!

Have you missed me????
I am currently holidaying on the Gold coast with some of my girlfriends. Lots of laughs, heaps of shopping and a few glasses of vino. It has been fantastic! Just what the doctor ordered :-)
But I must say, I have been missing playing with glue and paper. Especially with my new Savvy kits waiting for me when I get home..
