Best Step Forward

This is what's been keeping me busy -





creating projects for my sweet South African pal, Sophia, over at Le Shabby Cafe






 and these projects for the super talented Amanda over at Scrap Rat Kits


and this for SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES by 3L - check out their blog here for details of how I put the page together.

As well as scrapping LOTS - Ive spent time with the family - my Sis and lil Nephew came to stay over the Easter break - which was wonderful - and I completely over indulged in Auntie cuddles  : )

We had plenty of this


and this


and this


and this


and had a thoroughly good time - until a run of bad luck hit us this week : (

My youngest Sis got sick - really sick - and needed emergency surgery : ( She had further surgery last night and is now on the road to recovery : )

Unfortunatly I had to endure two trips to this place -


My oldest boy - Bobs - he got in a fight with a 2 inch piece of tempered steel whilst doing one of his super dooper micro scooter tricks - only he lost and the steel embedded itself in to his head - OUCH!  - so he spent the night at the local hossie having micro surgery to "fix the 'ole in 'is 'ed"


My hard drive died this morning - thank goodness I backed up a my photos and am only missing a few : ) - we dashed to PC World to buy a new 'puta and on the way home - a silly tractor driver decided to reverse out of the field -


just as we were passing by : (


But hey! We are all fine and the sun is shining : )
These things are sent to try us - but in good ol British fashion, we roll up our sleeves and with our best step forward - we carry on : )

Thanks for dropping by - call by tomorrow if you can because I have an amazingly sticky offering to share : )

T.x.

What drama! My life is about as exciting as modeling people out of play doh at the moment with a one and three year old! Love the Portrait line of papers and embellishments that you have used on your first layout :)

LIFE IS LIKE THAT - "they" say that it goes on while you are making other plans and it certainly seems that way ... My NERVES!!! Certainly hope it changes direction for you soon ...

Love the sneaks of our kit - in amongst all of this you make time to scrap - I applaud you - in fact I am bowing down to the computer even as we speak .... tee hee ... your MOJO is certainly cruising in the right direction ...

Love, Tracy G
