Time to slow down

Well we have sold our shops and I am now not working.... well giving myself some time off for now anyway. I am loving not working but I am still busy but doing so much that I want to do. It is a great feeling when you wake up in the morning and have so much you want to fit into your day... and work is not in the picture. Bliss for now and I am so appreciating every single day I have to myself like this. I have started to paint again, I am spending more time cooking, being at home, walking and just feeling relaxed. I decided last night to pack my bags with my young one and take off up North for a week or two. We are going to see my baby girl who is now 20. I miss her like I cannot explain. I hold so much of it in my heart and try not to dwell on it but I do find myself when I am on my own just feeling the tears uncontrollably pour out of my eyes. "This is Life... but not as we know it". I keep telling myself she is happy and I am so happy for her but it is such a natural thing for a mother of such a special girl to miss one so terribly. She and I are so close and I know we haven't lost any of that.. we just don't get to feel it every day like we did when she was still at home with me. Some people are happy when their kids leave home... but she could stay til she was 37!! I told her so :-)

So DS and I are heading up for our 10 hour drive north tomorrow and will get to her on the weekend. First stop will be back in my home town of Mackay where I will see all the best girls in the world. Miss them so bad. Cannot wait to have the day and night with my BFF Mandy Moo..! Not sure how long we will be.. I am on no time limit.. except I have promised DS we will be back for something special that he is excited about at school. I have homework for 2 weeks packed from the teacher so we are set. I am happy to have all my Masters submissions ready in the pizza box to be sent to Silverwater NSW. I am happy with what I have created.. although I can always do better. But I have enjoyed the challenge. Good luck to all you other girls out there that are submitting your work too . I will not be bored on my holiday as I have the car packed and in my little beep beep I have 2 canvases and paints and brushes, my laptop, my copic pens, stamps and paper and lots of photos to edit when I have some time to do nothing. I am planning on having a relaxing holiday, not shopping, but doing all I can for my girl in her new little house and just spending quality time with DS at the beach, park, water slide etc. I cannot wait. Til next time.... I will be sticky beaking through all of your blogs over the next few days.. xx Happy days girls Moonie xxx

Check these bags out!

I have just stumbled across these awesome bags... Good for anyone, so many styles. I love bags but I don't like just common handbags all the time.. They tend to get so boring.
Just thought I would share this post with you

The Big Book of Scrapbook Pages

I was so excited to received a pizza box in the mail this week thinking it was paper to do some designing with but to my super surprise it was finally my copy of Memory Maker's The Big Book of Scrapbook Pages ! It's been a long time coming ... to be honest I had actually forgotten about it. Somehow I come across this website wanting submissions for this mag so I submitted 3 layouts last year and one was chosen. I sent it off and 12 months later I get this gorgeous full on glossy big fat magazine in the mail. So proud to be on the the 5 Australian scrappers in it. It is totally filled with funky gorgeous beautiful layouts in it. So go and try and get your hands on one as soon as you can. I am right near the back.

It's all about FELT

It's all about FELT

It's Felt Week at my2angels

and to kick start off the week we have

30% off all FELT

until 21st July

Are you one of those scrappers saying... “Felt – that’s so yesterday”?

Some scrappers don't use felt, because it isn't considered trendy, but heck, if it is easy on the budget, easy to use and looks good - then why not?

Other scrappers think that it is boring and limited in how you can use it.

Many scrappers don’t use felt because of past bad experiences: backing paper not coming off; it doesn't stick down properly; or it sticks to everything in sight, including itself.
So pop on over to my2angels and get a bargain right now on some yummy flet. I love putitng making felt birds to put on my layouts. I love the texture of felt birds or even felt wings on the birds.
So thats all for me tonight .. happy scrapping girls..

Fun with Copics

Well here I go down another avenue that I have been purposely turning my back on as I knew I would get addicted to it.... But it is all Monika's fault.. She has been flashing her cool copic pens and to die for gorgeous yummy cute as stamps in front of my nose.. so here I am and there is no turning back now :-)
These are my first 3 pictures I have colored in. I am still obviously learning. To be honest I have no idea what to do except to color them in and try and do some shading.. But I will learn as I go. There are so many awesome youtube tutorials to watch.. They are fun to do in your own time. I have been making a few cute wee cards over the past 4 weeks. Just trying to use up some of my nice scraps. They are too cute to bin and I wouldnt use them on a layout now as I jsut keep buying new paper that is released. So I have been making them. I have sold about 60 cards in the past 4 weeks. So great for me. I wont be retiring as I am working for $3 an hour. Hahahhaha but I love it.
I cannot believe how many gorgeous stamps there are out there online when you look all over the world.
We have had an awesome relaxing weekend. I have just started my double layout for Masters. I have my others all ready for the mail. Much more organized this year. Not like last year.
Got a yummy roast in the over cooking. Smells divine.
Love to you all. Happy scrapping!!!

I love these pictures of Corey at the air show in Auckland New Zealand when we were home. He was just in love and amazement with the huge air crafts. He felt very special sitting in the helicopter with the pilot and even got to put on his head piece.
I have used a combination of the cool, funky and playful new October Afternoon Rocket Age and Bella paper. I have used a few of the Rocket Age stickers too, twine and October Afternoon market stickers.
Just love the papers they keep bringing out.. Amazing talent!

Ohh and a card I made with the scraps

Echo Park SLASH!!!

I love these sort of papers and the colors but they are not really my style of scrapping.. But I always buy them as they are just soo yummy. I had the perfect photos for these papers so this is what I come up with.

3 Pieces of Echo Park paper, bakers twine, my2angels charms and that is really about it. I even got to make this cute card.
Lots going on in my life right now.. Hard to really keep up but that is just the way it is. Us girls just keep up with it all dont we.
Keep up the scrapping girls.. Love the work that I am seeing on all your blogs.

Loove my new stamp set

I couldn't resist this stamp set the other day when I come across it. I have been doing a couple of layouts using paper that have this patter on it and I have been happily cutting them out.. but then I was wishing they were on the right color paper for me to blend in with my layout. So now I can stamp them out on any color and they look just simply gorgeous. Go to the My Minds Eye website here and check out the lovely Stella and Rose Collection of papers and embellies.
Happy scrapping girls x

New Layouts to share

Here is a wild and wicked layout of Corey with his 3 cousins who popped in for the night on their way around Australia. Their parents have high profile jobs in Sydney and are sick to death of the constant busy city life.. so they planned and saved for a year and set a date to pack up house and school bags and hit the road. They left about 4 months ago and are at the Cape as we speak. Maria my cousin in doing external school with the 3 kids. They are having the time of their lives and experiencing things they never thought they ever would so young. If you are interested check out Maria's travel blog.....
Just the photos alone would make you dream of just packing up and taking off. I admire them as parents for doing this.
Anyway if you are after one of these layouts you can find them here at A Craft Affair in Townsville. I design kits for Leanne up there so go and check out her site if you are after one.


And here is the other layout I have to share with you today.



I have used the gorgeous Echo Park "For the Record" collection, some of Tracy's flowers from my2angels which I sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, a couple of Martha Stewart punches which I have an addiction for, Collections Transparent bird, a stem from Kaiser Craft and a chipboard florish from Scrapware.
So that's it for this pleasantly quiet Sunday.. DH has been away for 4 days so now he is at home I am chilling while he and Corey build "Boy's things" in the shed.. :-)
I hope you are all well and keeping warm.. I am loving this winter.
Love from Moonie girl

Living on scraps

I culled through all my papers the other day... I have a scraps art bin and I stash in here big and small scraps. I pulled out the papers I don't think I will use on a layout in the near future. It is great now as I have a good stash of scraps for cards. And look what I have come up with. They are really cute and so much fun to make.







These bottom ones are definately my favorites. Just loove these cute as animals from the Fine and Dandy collection from My Minds Eye.
I cannot believe we were laying on the beach today in bikinis and tonight I have my ugg boot on that I have not worn for 3 years in a row. It is just soo cold ATM but I am not complaining. I am actually loving it.
Have a great week.

Swimming with the Sharks

I have seen these shoes for a long time in just a few shops and really admired them as they are a cute shoe with a comfortable feel to them. Their shoes are produced using the finest materials and most unique patterns, creating fantastic casual apparel. All of our shoes have a gum outsole, soft leather uppers, combined with soft micro linings and latex foam cushioned foot bed. They are normally $125 but the shop was closing down and they are also on the internet marked down to $50 also. They are soo comfy and as I don't really own winter shoes except one pair and a pair of black high boots. So these are my newbies. Go here and check them all out. I chose the orange and white ones.. Thanks for stopping by and saying hi x
