A Catch Up

Goodness it has been over a month since I last posted – I had been doing so well!  I promise that although I have been busy with life I did manage to squeeze in some crafty time as well.

In the past month, I:

  • Spent a week on nearby Stradbroke Island with my family at a beach front unit.  Stradbroke Island is a 40min ferry ride across Moreton Bay so really accessible from Brisbane.

Stradbroke Is Easter 2012

  • Picked up our new puppy, a whippet we have named Zed.  He is now 15 weeks old and a ball of energy!

  • Celebrated ANZAC Day and watched our son Josh march in the city ANZAC Day parade with his high school marching band, Drumline.

  • Sent off the first part of an ATC background swap.  Two sets of backgrounds were made and swapped out. I got a collection of other people’s backgrounds back to decorate and return.  At the end I will get mine back with other peoples artwork overlaying my backgrounds.  I’ll share once they are returned.
  • Received a wonderful prize from Helmar for participating in their Facebook competition.  Thanks Helmar!

  • Received my Darkroom Door March ATC swap.  The theme was turquoise and here are the ATCs I created.

  • Finished a Smash Book swap which was hosted on Facebook.  The book was a touch larger than A5, bound with rings to enable the recipient to add more pages.  Here are a sampling of the pages -

  • Celebrated 21 years of marriage to my wonderful husband, Brian.
