Take Note

Howdy,


Today I scrapped another couple of pages of my Book of Me. Seeing I have done a page of my favourite foods I thought I should do a page of the foods I don't like!

My background I made with dress making paper, modge podged with glitter Modge Podge for the sparkle and mistted with glimmer mists

and this is a layout of me when I was little with our dog Sandy

On the back of the tag slid at the side I have written what my favourite TV shows were when I was young

 and my photo a day for June ~ The best part of your weekend

Having lunch with all my boys and my brother. Hope you have had a lovely day


Cheers

June ~ Photo a Day

Hello Lovelies,


No scrapping to show . I haven't really scrapped this week , just trying to catch up with my 365 day book and doing my Photo a day. 
My Mum has not been well and it has been a rather stressful week. My brother from Melbourne is staying with us for the long weekend, so we have been having some nice family time. Today after going for a lovely frosty walk , I went to the farmers Market with my brother and then we went out to visit my other brother, we visited Mum and I made nice pumpkin soup for dinner.
So here is a bit of a catch up of my photo a day


Drink ~ I needed this , it had been a very stressful day

Six o'clock ~ waiting in the car, it wasn't until I looked at this pic that I realized our car clock said am instead of pm, must change that one day

My view today

A BIG frost and a frozen pond on our morning walk
Some more pics from our walk 

The above 3 photo's were taken by our friend George who walks with us, he was loving my iphone :)

So that's my photo's a day for now. Hope you are all enjoying the long weekend & I hope to get some scrapping done and some mojo real soon


Cheers

Time Together ~ Wonderful Memories

Hello lovely peoples,


Just popping in to share the layout I have done for the sketch Challenge over at Scrapfriends http://scrapfriends.com.au/
It is a layout about when I have mini Holidays with my DD. When she has a few days off in a row if possible I go and spend the time with her.
Being the organised person that she is ( not like her mother) she has a itinerary of things for us to do when I get there. We spend a lot of time brunching , trying out different cafes, we go to the Theatre, a movie and shopping. This trip she took me down to the beach at Watson's Bay and we walked all around the Gap admiring the amazing views. This is where we are in these photo's. 

My last two photo's for a photo a day


A sign ~ The Lunch Menu when I was out to lunch with Kim and Annette

Hat ~ I don't usually do hats, I don't like them or they don't like me lol

Love spending special times with my girl. Hope you are having a wonderful week

Songs From The 80's

Who doesn't know a great song from the 80's, there were so many fabulous songs in this era. This is the new challenge over at Scrap That Song this month  http://scrapthatsong.blogspot.com.au/  Because I have been listening to Bob Seger a lot lately while I scrap away in my little room, I decided to choose one of his songs "Against the Wind" . I think it is about the different stages of life that we go through,at each stage we are running against the wind for different reasons. I love the song. 
Here is the clip enjoy 

and my layout

I also got another page done for my Book Of Me, this page is about the food I like

and my photo a day of something close up. I took a photo of some Jonquils ~ A touch of Spring in Winter. I did take a photo of my eye to start with, but couldn't bring myself to post that lol

Hope you are having a wonderful day
Hugs

Pa

Morning lovely people


Hope everyone is well and keeping warm. I am feeling like a need a coffee at the moment to perk me up. Saw this on Pinterest and made me laugh. I think I am needing a few coffees at the moment

Yesterday I did a layout of my Grandfather, Patrick John Madden, my Mum's Dad.  We called him Pa. I don't really remember him as I was only 4 when he died. I can tell by the way Mum talks that they were very close. As my Journalling on the shipping tag slid in the side of the Pic says, my grandfather lost his arm whilst climbing over a fence and the gun he was carrying went off. My Mum used to help him in the paddocks and he used to say she was his other arm.

I did this layout for a step by step for our monthly Friday night scrap/chat night over at the Boxx http://www.theboxx.scrapboxx.com/
The PP is Bo Bunnys Double Dots, the clock PP is Kaiser "Vintage Timeless Collection" The clock embellishment is I believe My2Angels http://www.my2angels.net/ Braids from Craftqueen http://www.craftqueen.com.au/
I really enjoy doing layouts of My Heritage, I think it's to do with carrying the memory and story on for my children and their children.
Now to choose a song from the 80's for the challenge over at Scrapthatsong http://scrapthatsong.blogspot.com.au/       Would love for you to join us. Heaps of great songs from the 80's


I am going to join in a photo a day since I took two photos required without even realizing and I only have one to catch up :) Meant to do it me thinks

A Girly Girl layout

Back again, last night whilst fiddling around with another layout I decided to add this touch of blue to my layout. I think it looks better

And I did this very girly layout yesterday

My DG Amelia. Flowers , satin bind ribbon, from Craftqueen . Ballerina chippy from Miss Annette , thank you http://annetteedmonds.blogspot.com.au/
I misted the ballerina chippy and added a bit of kindy glitz for sparkle, which doesn't really show up in the pic.
Raining here today, great scrapping weather :) Hope you have a beautiful day


Cheers
