Gotta love Happy Mail and I received 2 lots of happy mail on one day!
I am the proud owner of the beautiful canvas by Carol Mead titled Raindrops. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT and cant wait to do my sitting/reading/guest room up, where it will then reside for my viewing pleasure. The parcel was wrapped so beautifully with extra goodies I almost didnt want to unwrap it.
I also received the gorgeous tags from One Vintage Day and cant wait to use them :)

Giveaway Time!

A Good Day :)

Today I got together with some scrappy friends (well they are not scrappy, but they scrap :) ) We went to Miss Annettes and had a lovely day. I got a layout done for Jess McKenzies Sketch Challenge at http://www.theboxx.scrapboxx.com/, started a albumn for a dear friend, we had fruit salad and yogurt for lunch (we are so healthy) and then we had some shopping therapy by going over to www.craftqueen.com.au/ and buying some scrap goodies ......I am so weak..... Lord Help Me. But there is JUST so many beautiful products to drool over...... Oh dear. We also had some caramel slice..... cant be TO healthy.
Finished the day off by going out to dinner, so all in all a good day. Hope all your days are good ones.
This is my layout I did at Annettes it is of my beautiful Grandson, playing hide and seek with his sister in the Park.

Cheers

32 Years ago today, I got married

Yep today is my wedding anniversary, been married 32 years to my lovely hubby. At times we probably drive each other mad and I'm sure there are times we dont even like each other very much. But I know we love each other and cant live without the other (now I'm getting soppy)
In the 32 years we have raised 3 amazing children, all of whom we are so very proud. They are good , caring people. We have 2 adorable Grandchildren, the reason we cant possible move to another town, because we would miss seeing them grow and we couldnt get that back, they are our sunshine.
I gained a beautiful sister in law that is one of my very best friends and gorgeous neices and nephew, I love them to bits and cannot imagine them not being in my life.
So I am one very lucky lady. So no matter what we get by with each other by our sides (YEP I've had two or three wines, always makes one soppy) But seriously its all true
Cheers

This little note was on the kitchen bench when I got up this morning  :)

 and Happy Days to you all x

A CHILDHOOD MEMORY

I had to set the challenge on the Boxx for Scrappers Challenge, so....... the challenge was to scrap a Childhood Memory. The criteria ~ A Handmade flower, Lace, Stitiching and Journalling. So What do I do, A boys page! Plus my sewing machine is in for a service, so I dont know what I was thinking. But I reckon seeing I made the rules I can bend them :)
I really enjoyed scrapping my Hubbys Favourite Memory and listening to him telling me about his favourite
horse Gussy and How he used to turn his hat up to look like a real cowboy. Seeing the joy in his face reliving his favourite memories. He has some amazing old pics so I am going to make him his own albumn of memories ..... eventually.
Thanks for stopping by. I know the flood & bushfire Victims are still foremost in our minds, and our hearts go out to them.
The Silent Auction started off amazingly well last night, click on the  link in the previous post, get yourself a paddle and bid for some beautiful items
Cheers

House Rules..... Rules to live By

I got this on etsy and found a frame today, so got the hubby to put it up for me. I really like what is says and hope we do live by these rules...... most of the time anyway. I also got one for my daughter that has a different verse, so now I know this frame works I will get a frame for hers and take a pic so you can all have a look see. Should let you know they are from etsy shop Harper Grace, based in Melbourne.
Cheers
