New Once Upon A Sketch Challenge

This is the new sketch over at http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com/



The Criteria is to Journal as to why you scrapped this layout . I scrapped it to convey how much Our Granddaughter is loved and how much joy she brings to our lives. In the pics she is with her Great Grandparents ( my parents) and my Dad passed over nearly 3 years ago, so the pic is very dear to me. TFLX

TFLX & please let me know you have dropped by

Cheers

Day at the Football

Also Yesterday we drove to Sydney to watch St George play Canterbury ( My Family are all mad Dragon Fans), all brain washed at birth I reckon. Any way I would much rather stay home and scrap but hubby wanted me to go and it was a opportunity to spend the day with our DD who was meeting us there. So the Fact I got to spend a few hours with Chels was worth sitting through the footy. And dont tell them but I enjoyed the day, well I enjoyed us being together :)

Layout for Show Us your Stuff

This is a layout for Show Us Your Stuff this month  http://www.showusyourstuff.blogspot.com/. I had my heart set on scrapping these pics, but wasnt sure how it would go with the colours that had to be used ~ Pink, Blue and Yellow. But I have to say I was really pleased with how it turned out :)
Heart My Boys

Weight loss Wednesday (on a Sunday), Bands and Cyber Crops

Well on the weight loss issue not to much to report. Still staying around the same weight give a few grams up or down. On a positive note my hubby and me are still walking 6ks every other day. I have decided no more jogging as I always have a bad back the next day and hubby has a bad back, so I think we will stick to fast walking.
Personally I am not that unhappy with my weight, I would just like to loose the tummy! I think thats were my whole 5kilos I want to loose is situated (if I could just reposition it up to my boobs)!
Last night my son and his band played their first gig and we went along, I have to say I was pleasently surprised and happy for them that it went so well. They had a lot of support and everyone seemed to be enjoying the night. Heres a few pics

On Friday Night we had a CC over at the Boxx, there were LOTS of awsome challenges and it was a lot of fun. All the girls are so beautiful and it was fun chatting. A couple of layouts from the CC

Thanks for looking, please leave a comment , dont be shy, so that I know you have popped by. Might go and try and get a layout started , I havent scrapped all weekend and I dont like it! I dont feel complete if I dont scrap (is that sad?) Ive done a lot of shuffling and blog hopping and looking for pics, but not to much actual creativity grrrrr & working full time for next 2 weeks double grrrrrrr. Oh well hope you all had a lovely weekend and you all have a super week

Cheers
