First Cyber Crop!!! What fun!

I had my first cyber crop last night and today at chookscraps....i dont know how to add a link but there is one in my side bar.

I completed 3 challenges with one more to go.
I have uploaded the photos for you to have a squiz at.

They have come up in reverse order.....

Some advice challenge number 1 LO had to include a frame with either circles or squares on it. Two or more paper clips and two or more photos...im happy with how it turned out :)

Time to get wet was challenge number 2. I had to use either transparency or vellum with a combination of two or more primary colours. Eg red/blue, yellow/red ect.
My SR paper had all the primary colours in it.

Challenge 3 was a scraplift and it had to either have the number in included on the LO or be a scraplift of a celebration.

Challenge 4 is make a birthday card...i have yet to do this challenge but i have a nephew turning 11 on Monday so i will do it before them.

Just a quick update tonight so until next time.....stay happy and keep safe and i hope you Adelaide girls had a fun Saturday Scrap Session... i was wishingi could have been there :)

Scrapbook Station Blog Challenge number 2

We have been asked to upload pics of something that drives us crazy.......well apart from the junk mail...piles of stuff...dirty washing every where...wet towels left where they shouldnt be...ect ect im sure you ALL get the picture LOL....

Here are two pics of something that drives me crazy...they are old pics but by no means have the occupants learnt to be any tidier LOL....

I often take pics of this subject and share with a friend when the said occupants are in a really piggy mood LOL

I also want to bullet point some things...

THANKYOU to the girls who left a reply in my angry blog rant.....i am feeling a bit better and have even attempted to talk to DH...funnily enough he has said to me that he has felt that i have wanted to get away....YES....he has also felt that i have lost something......YES....and that ive not really been happy .....YES.....anyway lets hope that this weekend when we go away some things can be amended.....

It is our 18th wedding anniversary on Sat and we are going to Mildura for a well earned holiday break...just the four of us and no one has been told we are going to be there....selfish i know but this is OUR time.....

We have dates for Leigh to get his braces......8th of June is the big day but before that 2 teeth need to come out...he already has his *4* wisdom teeth and they are going to cause some trouble but are not able to come out yet....sheesh.....the moulds of his mouth were amazing....!!!

The orthodontist says he is going to be minimum 6ft but he says he tells everyone that...well Leigh is not quite 14 and has been in size 12 shoes since the beginning of the year.....he is 164cm tall...look out mum and dad......i knew he was going to be tall...my poppa was 6ft 5 my brother is close to that..

Leigh is having his first U/11 coaching session tonight....he loves hockey and put his name forward to coach this year and was accepted...he also wants to learn to umpire......

Just trying to think of some more stuff but brain has gone to mush....so i might stop here and catch you all later...nothing exciting to report though:)

Take care and have a great weekend

Oh the second part of this blog challenge was to post an Easter Tradition.....well apart from eating choc chip hot cross buns and doing some renovations over Easter we dont have any...but im guessing i could take a photo of the clothes line we put up under the verandah on Easter LOL.....

Keep Smilin..

Layouts for my no shopping challenge at Scrapboxx

I put my hand up to do 15 layouts for a challenge on Scrapboxx.....we are to use our stash without buying any more stuff.....well so far i have done quite a few layouts (not sure exact total now).....some are doubled up in the collage but im not sure why it does that...i will work on that as i go ..

Hope you like these layouts...i am feeling quite uninhibited in doing these layouts...some obviously better than others and for this i have no excuse but hey thems the breaks...i am really only doing them for my self and my family nayway..

Thanks for looking...please leave a comment so i know you have dropped by:)

Help Please for Blogger

Can anyone give me any ideas on why i can leave comments on some blogs and not others...its driving me nuts.....

on some blogs my name comes up and all i have to do is type a comment press a button and it posts my comment.

On other blogs i have to do word verification and put in my name and password but since it has changed over to google i CANNOT log in to any blog it always says my password is incorrect...i have tried numerous combinations of blogger and google but no such luck!!!! I use my google email addy and everything....it just WONT work....

What can i do to change this cause it makes me crazy and it takes forever only to find out that i cant leave a comment anyway!!!

I will leave you a pic of what i got up to this morning with DD and friend

Im angry

Im angry at so many things. Things i cant articulate. Im angry at my teenage son because he gets angry at me. I get angry at my husband because he has me on a pedestal and i dont want to be there. Im angry when he calls me beautiful and gorgeous because im not.
Im angry that we cant even find the time to sit and talk together. Im angry that i had to give up something i wanted to help him with his dreams that i frankly dont care about....it means i have to give up my time to help him fill his, i dont want ot do that. Im angry that i cant just sit in a room by myself without someone interupting me and they seeing the anger on my face. I am angry that i make my loved ones scared of me. My son hates it when i yell because it scares him. Can he not see if he didnt make me angry i wouldnt need to yell? Im angry that plans change at a minutes notice and i am not told...these plans are important to how i need to plan my day...eg having to later go and pick someone up from somewhere they didnt say they were going.
I am angry that i feel that my identity has been taken away and i have to do so many things for other perople...why do i feel angry that i cant do something for myself without people judging?
Why when i want this time by myself and for want of another word be selfish why can they not fend for themselves and not leave a mess for me to have to follow behind them and clean up. This is my family and it makes me angry. Im angry that i cant talk to my husband. He dumped a huge bombshell on me and im am too scared to dump this bombshell cause im too scared to find out what it really means....

Im scared and i am angry...i am writing this with tears in my eyes i am just so scared...i have no goals and dont know what i want but im scared that this life is not it....i dont mean im going to do anything stupid...i just dont know what the future holds....im scared and angry that i dont know what i want,,its crazy, a woman my age should know what i want....im also angry that the goals i did have or did think of persuing were labelled *not good enough*

Please dont think im going to do anything crazy i just need to get this out and im scared if i ring my best friend she will get sad and its not fair to her.....
