this is the other CJ I have been working on for the CJ group I'm invloved with SBO
I used a coaster that I kindly took a dozen or so from The Brass Monkey in Perth.
So its very small + cute. I'm enjoying making these wee albums + pages for the CJ's. Looking forward to getting mine back.
so wish I took better pics - instead of these hurried shots + lets get them in the post shots!!

i think I forgot what blog is!!

well CC come + went + what a rockin good time I had!! Is was so relaxing, the classes, the company + food was fantastic!!
Also must send praise out to Ma + Pa for doing a fab job looking after Ruby + Taidhg while I was having FUN at CC.
LOVED all my classes but my only regret is that I wish i did more of Ali's classes.
All 3 US tutors rocked + I had a moment of fame with Ali when she mentioned she LOVED my ring + wanted to know where she could get one + do you think that I could remember.............hell NO!! Then the naughty Donna D LOVED my green shoes!!! Yeah for so in those short moments of 10 seconds I thought I was pretty cool but then back to reality............lol
The NZ tutors were pretty cool..............apart from the naught holy Nic howard trying to calm my hubby's wawawa!!............LOL + then there was Wendy who almost never let me leave here class as I only did the tiny tiny bit of doodling but I will finish it I promise Wendy!!!
I only tool 2 photos the whole time - yep 2 whole photos...........bloody hopeless I know!! And never gave out my tags ............so let me know if you want one!!!!
The kids travelled home well + what a mean mummy only let them out once!!! And i only had to do the fingers once to this old fart who was being a total dickhead!!!

So back to reality on Tuesday with kids at school + daycare!!! And back to the gym....woohhooooooo scarey stuff as I felt like I hadn't been to the gym ever + come on this was my 5th week!!! And lets not forget feeding calves!!! Busy days!! But hey better to be busy than sitting on my U KNOW WHAT!!!

had a cool time on the SBO (sorry to tired to do links today)cyber crop last night!!
oh there were some very cheeky ppl on there!!...........lol
the DT had a challenge given to them by Vicky G - we had to use BG, LO with the theme "amazing", hand journal + cut the photo out. It was FUN. Here's my version of the challenge. OK I kind of went of course with the theme but hey I still like it!! And its true I live with a total goofball x2!! But gotta LOVE em eh.




OK better feed + water these kids!!
