The Wedding

Geoff & Georgi were married 2 weeks ago.
The wedding for the year went beautifully. I so loved the day. There was a sprinkle of rain as Georgi arrived so up with the umbrellas and on with the show.
The destination was Eumeralla Scout Camp Open Chapel and it is so lovely there. Hadn't been there before but want to go again and see someone's wedding. I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of having an outdoor wedding.
Anyway, Georgi looked absolutely beautiful and my boy Geoff looked so handsome.
They both seemed so relaxed and happy all day and night. Proud is not a big enough word to explain my emotions.

Purdy's Do India

These are photos of layout 25 for week 20.

They are from when I went to visit my wonderful friends The Purdy's when they were in India.

I was so blessed to have the opportunity to have my first overseas trip to go and stay with them for a week in Chennai. 

 These were taken at St Thomas Mount on my first day there. 

The trinkets on the photo below were purchased at the gift store there.

Torquay In Winter

This is my latest layout and it's a double page. I started it last week and added the last finishing touches this morning. It is some photos from a day in Torquay. Photos speak for them self.

The photo above is some chipboard I got recently from http://craftyoriginals.com.au/index.htm

Love the products they have and great prices. They also do special orders. Pop onto the website and have a look. Small local business.  

Mum, Donna & Me

Last week was week 18, I know cause I checked on the Internet . So this is my 23rd layout in 18 weeks. I started it last week but only finished it today as I had a big weekend and prioritized my time. I had a great day and a half in the garden yesterday and today and it is looking neat and tidy. 

So my layout is from my birthday party last August. I proudly turned 50 and had a little get together. Mum, Donna & I had a couple of photos taken but this is probably the best.

It is using a Kaisercraft oldie Loire Valley, I used some diamond dust on these flowers which is a first for me. It was a bit of fun.

Three pages over 2 weeks

I am a little confused as to what week it is, I think it's now week 17 so that's what I going by.
I totally missed week 15 I think.
Forgiveness could be found in the fact that my mother in law passed away on the 8th of April. She had been quite unwell for some time and was gradually fading away. So, on Sunday 8th April peacefully, she slipped away to be with Poppy.
(Georgi is with me and she says blogging is for nerds however she met Geoff on a blog, so there)

I have 3 pages to unload. 

This first one is of the Barista Competition I entered last year while working at Madcap Cafe. Anthony Cheeseman was an amazing inspiration to me in the time I worked for Madcap and I will forever grateful to have been a part of the company he founded.

I had placed all the bits on the page and I was trying to think of what to put on the top and David suggested a coffee stain. I did it and I like it.

Next Layout is of Georgi at 34 weeks pregnant.

I love the look of the 2 photos the same with one in color and one in black & white. 

The lace layers were the new punch I got and couldn't wait to use.  The bible verse at the bottom is more like Christmas however she had Charlie, so for unto them a child was born and he is a son.

Layout Number 3 is David sitting in the window at Kathryn's house in Busuanga, The Philippines. We had never met her until this day and she made us so welcome into her home. I truly love this photo of him. Relaxed and enjoying our holiday. (no the window doesn't have glass) The sewing on the photo was supposed to be zigzag but it didn't work out. Lucky I like it anyway.

So my weeks haven't totally been complete but I have done 22 layouts in 17 weeks and I'm happy with my achievement. Till next week, see ya.

Running Behind

I have been a little slow in the uploading of my layouts for the last few weeks.

I missed doing a layout 3 weeks ago and did 2 layouts 2 weeks ago, then only 1 layout last week.

I have been enjoying my knitting the last couple of weeks and so have been slack with the scrap booking. 

The layout below is an easy peasy layout. It is from a day when I had Anzac and Lola for a couple of hours and Lola had a nap while Anzac and I made cupcakes. It was much fun.

This next layout is a bit of fun that was had with the Derham's, while we had the opportunity to stay with them.

Now this last layout is of David when we went to Healesville for our wedding anniversary last year. Happy 30 years my love.

On the bike I inked it then rubbed some rub & buff in places to highlight them. Made a nice finish.
