Slice of Sunday

The best way for a Sunday to finish. making Cinamon Scrolls. I cant show you the finished product though........... we ate them Quick!!!!

Ps Why does my Rotten protien/preteen, eat everything and anything, he can get his hands on, but will refuse my beautiful homemade lasanga???? 

Oh PPs - Are bananas safe for dogs to eat?? Kook shares his all the time will Midnite, and I keep forgetting to google it!!!

PPPS I was lazy and those scrolls were from a box, but There is a really lovely recipe in THIS book.

PPPPS Laylas Story - read with tissues

PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPs - I cant believe I forgot the most important bit

UNITED STATES OF TARA IS ON AGAIN!! Bring on Wed!!!!!

Sleeping beauty

I woke up and it was friday today - big damn deal you say? Well, yeah, thats what follows Thursday??

 

Not for me. This time anyway.

When I went to bed it was Tuesday afternoon. 

I played the game.

 And I lost, big time.

I was terrified of playing the game. I was terrified of having my healed perforated esophagus open up again. No more hospital!! Thankfully it stayed shut. And Today I feel like my normal self again ( sorry to those close to me......)!

So I celebrated being well, Scraploot. 50% off a lot of things. The best way to celebrate ( esp. When that morning a package had arrived from Little Scrapbook Shop!, and I was finally well enough to open my What is Old is New Again  June Vintage kit that had arrived on Wed ( where do you guys shop online??)).

So anyway a million years ago when I last posted I said I would up date what Ive been up to, so here are a few layouts that Ive been working on, some from quiet a bit ago ( retreat and beyond). 

My I entry from my art journal

Ill be back with my catch up on my Boot Camp tomorrow, tonight, I, the band widow that I am, have a date with some little boys for Sandlot Marathon. Ill catch up on my blog reading tomorrow night ( nrl season....).   

Ps See those alphas up the top? The Heidi Grace ones?? Im on the search for more. And so far its fruitless. They are my go to, In fact I have used them a couple of times on the stuff above. They alter wonderfully well. 

PPs winner of my mini Giveaway was

JUNE 6, 2010 7:18 PM 

 So Mel, shot me an email with your addy and ill get a small lil bundle out to you.  Mel, is a terrific friend I have made through blog surfing. Go say hello, she is fabulous. 

PPPs I understand that these are not my best photos of layouts, But at this stage a badly photoed layout is better then no layout at all.

PPPPS I know photoed is not a word, to bloomin lazy to write photographed.

PPPPPs what I didn't write about going to bed Tuesday is that I couldn't do it right away on Tuesday afternoon cause, well, I was a loser again.  And when I got in the Car with the girls today for scraploot, Well, I might just, maybe have been a loser again.

Someone

Didn't charge her camera fully last time, so someone should really not be as surprised as she was when it dies again. 

Someone cant show you anything now till tomorrow, so instead enjoy this which was posted on the creative boot camp blog, and Ill be back tomorrow with photos, and a million years worth of scrapbooking layouts, and my letter I art journal entry. 

Last (wo)man standing.......

I dont wanna play no more!!

We seem to have a special game 'round here on long weekends. I like to call it last (wo)man standing.  I win it a lot. 

Its starts either really early in the morning or last thing at night. This time round it started at 6 on Thursday morning. It starts with that special cough. 

That one that can bolt a mother upright in bed, no matter how sound asleep she was. The one where you listen for the inevitable. You all know whats coming Im sure. 

Vomit, multiple vomits. 

Fun. Lots o' fun.

And then it becomes a competition to see how many can get taken down at once. Especially when you only have one bucket. 

Im winning so far this long weekend.  My prize???? I get to clean up all the near misses. Ewwwwww.

So ill keep this short and simple. 

Boot Camp Day 4

Heavy Metal. 

Im married to a rock god,  But he is a rock god that does not like to have his photo taken. Especially when his wife suggests we go to this really cool looking fence down the road.  Why not the garage, he cries???

Hello evil fluro tube lighting and evil mismatched carpet walls. Yeah, umm Nice.

So here is the Rock Gods fav picture of his guitar and his sexy leather jacket.

Day 5

Grow

I struggled with this one a bit, until that is I went to get the washing off the line ( God, I hate any chores that involve washing clothes, esp. the folding and putting away), so while procrastinating ( throwing ball around for Dog) I noticed the weeds growing through this rusted drum that has been sitting there waiting patiently to become my herb garden. Perfect. Thank you weeds!!

Day 6

Fluid

I had been wanting to try one of these shots for ages. So when Daph wanted to steal Kook for a photo shoot at Nurragingy Reserve to test out her little Red wagon, I jumped at the chance knowing that the waterfall there would fit the bill perfectly. And it did, except I forgot to add time for the power of a cranky tantrum throwing clinging to mum superpower of a 1 and a half year old. So just as I worked it out, I had to quit. My poor boy ( it wasn't long till he joined in the afore mentioned game, oh I could have used that for fluid — ewww chunky fluid). So anyway fluid

 

Ps Ive so had enough of the game right now!!!

PPs The masters double is kicking my arse!! I hate doubles!!

PPPs still a couple of days left to enter my mystery giveaway.

PPPPs Im hoping to get my arse into gear and photograph and post, the letters Ive done in my art journal of late, tomorrow, so kick my butt if I dont!!!!!!

Flowers flowers flowers

Just came across this swap, At a new to me blog Chantilly Rose Crafts Im thinking of joining and thought that a few of you guys might be interested!! ( Im just waiting to see if internationals can join in).

Captains log

Boot Camp, Day Three

The prompt  - Multi layered, The photographer - slightly loopy. The time - 5 mins of peace after running ridiculously late to drop the big 'uns off to school.

To be honest the first thing I thought of was Shrek.  

So I put it in my maybe list. Onions that is, Ogres are a bit hard to find ( not that time of the month yet).  Then I thought and decided a self portrait. Im multi layered, most layers are slightly leaning to the, well, lets say eccentric side, but I have layers.

A Sarah Lou is like an onion.........

Sorry anyway.....

Miss Beth and I decided to hit the markets in search of Martha Stewart punches, and I knew there would be not enough time to pull back the couch ( to get to the good light) and fart arse around with the self timer, but wanted to play anyway, so looked around and spotted my art book, and a few other bits ( knitting needle, scisor, ribbon and my fav writting pen). What the beep, a quick still life. Snapped a few shots until my chariot arrived. 

After the markets turned into Lunch and turned into Fred the Needle ( thank you for the kids corner!!!!) and turned into racing to the school to get poor long suffering childrens. 

When poor long suffering childrens and I got out of the blistering freakin cold wind(!!!!!!!!) in to my nice snug, gas heated house.  I looked in my room and thought. 

Circular Saw.

Yep no lie. Thats what I thought. So thats what I did. Of course I didn't do it till, I had rung Rod and asked him where it was and if it needed charging. Oh and I had promised not to do anything till he got home.  

I didn't wait

Remember the no patience thing.......

We have a tiny master, well not tiny but with badly placed built ins and windows, and I have our big old front door for my desk. Well, it aint quiet as big now, but now its in front of the window which is where I wanted it all along. And since I was power tooling and rearranging why  not do a major clean out???? 

Currently, its in the "has to get worse before it can get better" stage, but poor rock god husband needed to go to bed. 

So anyway ( 6 and a half years later, Ill get to the bloomin point) cause I felt the need for power I didn't get to do my self portrait, So for your viewing pleasure, a still lifeish picture of multi layered.

Stuff I can do. Or Darn tooting im talented!

Ps Mum, is the Darn tooting better then the Dudes??
