All You Need Is Love.....I love this boy!!!

I have been blog hopping already this morning and I found this competitionover at Ingeborg Dijkstra-Verbeek's blog Now pop over there and check it out the criteria and you could win this!!!
This is the perfect competition for me as I am bit of a soppy girl and I love the fact that I am in love with my wonderful husband and the beautiful children that we have
So what better time than now to tell them again by creating a LO especially for this competition!!! So let the creating begin.....I know exactly which photo I am using!

This photo....
This is my son Jeff...Not very often I can get a get a good photo of him,he is usually pulling faces or just acting up so I won't take photos of him!!! He knows that that annoys me! But I love him anyway!!!

But we were driving around the other day (you see he is going for his P's today) Good Luck today Mate, sorry I can't be there taking photos of you when you get them!!!

Anyways I always take the camera with me no matter where I go as I might just happen to find something to photograph, we drove down the back of old town towards Pelican Creek
and I found something to take photos of, this noxious pest...I love Macro photosAnd then I said to Jeff come here and let me take some photos of you and finally he allowed me too!!! Without the faces and I got some good ones of him.

Jeff and I are having some issues lately( I think all parents of 20 yrs olds have some issues) and I think he thinks that I don't love him as much as I love his sister. I going to show him that I love him very much!

Well that is it for me today....Some of us have to work, and today that is me....
Have been called into work to cover at the local Community Association, which is the local Centrelink agency! So I better get moving!!! Have a great day, make sure you pop over and check out the All You Need Is Love competition!!!

2010 Scrapbooking Layouts to date...

Good Morning on and all...here we are day 21/365, I think this year is going to go as fast as last year!!! I haven't got any exciting news to tell you except I have been scrapping and I am enjoying it...I have actually created 6 LO's since the 7th of Jan!!! Most of them for challenges at the various sites that I am involved in....

Scrapchat forum
- 52 week challenge - Week 1 - Scrap about something you lost it could be something good like weightloss, or terrible like a person or heartbreaking like a friendship
I scrapped a photo of me and my sister! You are probably asking why was it a very emotional LO for me...Well my sister died when I was 5 yrs old!
So it was hard for me to journal on this LO because it is almost 37 yrs ago and this is the first time that I have scrapped this photo. You can clearly see us having fun. And it makes me so sad to think that she was so young when she died and that we lost our friendship due to her untimely death at 2 yr 11 1/2 months.
She would have been 3 on the 7th of March but she died on the 14th Feb!

Pagemaps Sketch -
I am not entirely happy with this LO....I don't like my title, I need to add something to it or change it completely .

Scrap, Chat 'N' Challenges
Quote/Word/Journalling - "All one needs to prosper in life is good luck, good humour and good friends" Use this quote on your LO and make sure that you include one photo.
Sketch Challenge-Real Life Scrapping Challenge - I have challenged everyone to scrap about The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - Broken Hearts/FriendshipsCombined Colour Challenge at Scrap, Chat 'N' Challenges- Orange, Navy, Green & Red and Pencillines Sketch Challenge at Born2Create
Well that is all for me for now....Hopefully I can get a couple more challenges done this month.Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving me your heartfelt comments. They put a smile on my face and lift my spirits. I really appreciate them, Luv Shaz xoxo

This Beautiful Girl and her family came to visit me....Miss you already

This Beautiful Girl and her family came all the way to Collinsville to visit me....
It is the first time any of my online scrapping friends have been to my house!!!
I was so excited!!!

Lisa and Shane and the kids come to visit on the 2nd of Jan, from Airlie Beach.
I had promised them a day of Mine tours and Swimming in the river (Croc's and all). Lisa was a big apprehensive, knowing there has been sightings of croc's above and below our swimming spot!!!

We had a rainy start to the day and Baz had to ring to get permission to take our friends out to the mine...BUT!!! It was too wet, so they said!!! I didn't think that we got that much rain to make it too slippery to take them out! Baz decided to take Shane and the boys out back of the mine in the car to show them whatever they could see in regards to the mine! Lisa and I sat around chatting while Pea played with the Dolls House! I also made a cobb loaf! Yummy!

They returned from the tour and we had some lunch and then we went to the river to play in the swimming hole with the swing, and have snags for dinner before the Kamphuis family headed back to Airlie.

Luckily for us NO ONE else beat us to that perfect spot!!! And also lucky for us the river had a good flow of water running through it ....it wasn't that high the day before and apparently it wasn't that high the day after they left! So here is some pics....mostly off of Rhys's waterproof camera!
Daniel is a such a daredevil, he loved this swing
Such a great shot of Lachlan swinging
This swing by Josh cost me $5
Shane enjoyed the swing so much too
Shane is so good with these guys, not only does he make a great dad, He will make a great Doctor!!!
Taleah desperately wanted to have a go on the swing but she jumped off the log with (her sitting next to friend) brother Lachlan
Of course Lisa couldn't let everyone else have all the fun, she had to join in!!! Smiling all the way of course!!
Poor Teleah really wanted to have a swing so Shane decided to take her passenger and have a swing with his daughter!!!
A great day was had by all, as they were about to leave I decided to take some photos of them outside the Collinsville sign!!! So glad I did!!! Thanks for visiting guys, I had the best day with you and your family.Please come again really soon! These people are the most beautiful family, Mwah Love you guys!I went to Airlie to visit them on Tuesday 5th...Me and my fav girl!Here they are standing on my dream block of land.
I had so much fun with Lisa on the Tuesday, we hung out in the apartment for a while. Then the kids wanted to show me the pools!!! Wow this place has so many pools. Lisa and I hung out at the shops in Proserpine and Airlie we had lunch at BB's (my fav cafe) and then we went sight seeing. I will be back a bit later to show you the few photos I took that day but unfortunately it was a rainy drizzly day so I didn't take that many photos. But I am sure that before you know it Lisa will be posting all of her holiday snaps!!!

First LO of 2010!!! Very emotional....

Well Girls, I haven't scrapped since the 13th of Dec and I today I finally did my first LO of 2010!!! It is a scraplift I must say though, but it was a very emotional subject for me to scrap. I did the LO for a challenge over at Scrapchat forum -

Scrap about something you lost. It could be something good like weightloss, or terrible like a person, or heartbreaking like a friendship.

I scrapped a photo of me and my sister! You are probably asking why was it a very emotional LO for me...Well my sister died when I was 5 yrs old!
So it was hard for me to journal on this LO because it is almost 37 yrs ago and this is the first time that I have scrapped this photo. You can clearly see us having fun. And it makes me so sad to think that she was so young when she died and that we lost our friendship due to her untimely death at 2 yr 11 1/2 months.
She would have been 3 on the 7th of March but she died on the 14th Feb!

I scraplifted this LO from the Kaiser Q2 mag pg 80...
