Tooting My Horn!!

Yay for me, found out this morning that I was a winner on the 123 challenge with this layout...although I can't compare to Renee who won on 123 challenge AND scrapjacked!!!!! Congratulations on two SENSATIONAL layouts xox

40 days and 40 nights...

or at least it's starting to feel that way!! In desperation today I took both boys plus mates to the movies, only to find that every other parent in the Southern Hemisphere had the same idea. Still, at least it's Friday which means pizza for dinner, plus some serious scrapping time for me tonite...the Mystical Scrapbooks cybercrop is on, and I'm locking myself away with a block of chocolate and a bottle of coke....see you on the other side, lol.
Almost forgot....this is my effort for the OTP challenge at Mystical...we had to alter an Eclipse Mints tin, so I did this one for Kit's medications....cute, no??

A New Challenge....

My bud Kerryn is currently involved in a "photo a day" challenge, which sounds like exactly what I'm looking for, considering my goals for this year, so my efforts will be posted (with appropriate labels, I hope!!)on my gallery blog. Wish me luck!! Now I just have to find shots from the last two days, lol.

Happy Birthday Mr Hartwell

Time for a mortality check....my baby turns eight today!!!
Sebi informed us all this morning that he would like to be addressed as "Mr Hartwell", because he's eight now and that's practically an adult.
His extremely adult birthday gifts included a drum kit, a talking space alien monkey thing, and the complete Star Wars pc game system. We're going out to Sizzler for dinner, and Mr Hartwell will be eating as much ice cream as he wants, because apparantly that's what you do when you're grown up. Bruce tried to tell me the same thing, except it had something to do with drinking beer.
So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my extremely grownup son, with love and kisses from your extremely well preserved mother xoxoxoxox

Looking at the BIG picture....

Well, with my goals for last year accomplished (can you believe it??) I have started working towards my goals for this year. After all, this is the best possible day for "new beginnings". Hence the new link below my title banner.
For those of you brave enough to sneak a peek, you will find my 'new' goal for 2008!!
I have decided to really push forward with my photography this year, and I'm hoping for some positive feedback through the new gallery. I will be advertising through various channels, so if anyone is interested in having some shots taken at very reasonable rates, feel free to leave your details at the gallery, and I'll be in touch!!
