I'm Still Alive

Hi ! Just a quick note to fill you in on the latest in the Jensen's building project! We are still all here living with the Hosking's who have so generously provided us refuge whilst our house undergoes some serious reno's. I didn't anticipate things like the floor sanding and painting to be happening this soon - and the re-gyprocking of a room - all of which make alot of mess and fumes! So it's a good thing it's all happening now - with no furniture and time to be aired out. The driveway was ripped out too - and the concrete is being poured today - in a very noice terracotta colour which looks great. The painter will be weaving his magic on sunday with a lovely and very un-exciting Dulux USA White throughout to try and give the illusion of grandeur in a 3 and 1...

Then there's projects like re-cladding, re-roofing, re-stumping, gutting the bathroom and kitchen, decking and a front wall, just to mention a few... Watch this space - I'll try and get some pics up tonight of the raw product so you can all see the progress. Thanks for stopping by and hope you are happy and loving your life, x Me

In Transit

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that the kiddies and I have arrived safely in lovely sunny and WINDY Geraldton. Mac is here too but we don't get to move into our new house for at least another week. So - until then I'm hijacking my Sil's 'puter on an irregular basis. I'll endeavour though to post a few piccies up soon as there's not much scrapping going on atm. Hopefully I'll be able to get something arty-farty done soon though as I'm very keen to get back to it! Don't forget to check out the Gallery. Voting for wek three: Serenity ends tonight and the voting for week 4: Repetition starts tonight - so take a wander through the Gallery and see the amazing theme interpretations that these gals are exhibiting! Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great weekend, X Me

Moving, again...

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to let those of you who aren't aware that I'm moving house atm, and today we'll be going off line for a little while. I will be able to access the web though in about 6 days, so please don't be a stranger - I'll definitely be back and blogging very soon!

Thanks for stopping by, x Me.

Visiting Friends...

Went to visit the lovely Max and Jo at Beaconsfield today. Here are a few pics of the kidlets on Teddy. Master T was absolutely overjoyed to be on his back, but Miss Moo was not so easily persuaded...Actually Mac had to get her off half way around the yard. Old Happy Jack was ready to buck out! Thanks for stopping by, x Me

And my baby is a back pack!

Got Paint?

Am currently participating in the month long on-line class 'Got Paint' over at Big Picture Scrapbooking by Emily Falconbridge. The first week's task was to experiment with a few techniques and make a paint journal for easy reference of each of them. Here's mine...

Also - got myself a new lens yesterday - very noice I must say. It's a Canon 50mm f1.4 USM fixed lens. I'm really enjoying the results on the monochrome setting, can't you tell!

Thanks for stopping by and make sure you check out the Gallery 12 link - there's lots more great photos to see there! Bye, x Me.

Hello! What's Your Name?

Playing with settings - this one taken using the monochrome option. I just love the quirky tilt of the chooks head - she really is talking to DD you know! Thanks for stopping by, x Me.

Lil' Black Book

A peep at another journal I've just finished off for Nikkihelen at the SM Forum. BTW - I only did 2 pages in this journal - the rest were from the other girls! x Me
