A bit of a tart...

Did I get your attention? Oops sorry if you were hoping for a bit a juicy gossip - this is my entry for the Lime Tart Challenge :) I've long been a lover of Lime Tart - they have fabulous kits, jam packed with scrappy goodness. This year I lashed out and subscribed to the Greedy Tart and so far I haven't met a kit I haven't fallen for ;) Anyway I digress, the real point I was meant to be making is that Lime Tart have a challenge over at their blog - create a something (doesn't have to be a LO) using at least two brands of pp (I used three but I have no idea what one of them is lol), a flower embellie and some chippie. It's a random prize but there is an extra incentive if you use some kit leftovers - so I did - some pp and the dragon fly :)


This LO was inspired (and lifted) from the fabulous Julie's puffing billy LO. I love her scrapping style! Julie and I met on online and then in person when we were roomies at the first Shop and Crop Escape. We were roomies again this year and now we're booked in for next year yay - I can't wait :) It's at a fancy new venue - looks very nice!

Recently, Mum was given a couple of photos by a friend of hers - they were taken at Government House at my Queen Scout ceremony in 1987. They are just so funny! Mum complained about the shirt Dad was wearing and told us that my brother was extremely hung-over (something I don't remember). I laughed myself silly at my hair - it was just so 1987 lol and my sisters were equally rude about themselves - oh well it's a moment frozen in time and that's why I love it - what do think?!

I won't put the other photo up - I'd taken my beret off and I had serious hat hair - a poodle could have mistaken me for its mate!

It's back to school tomorrow. So, my children are finally playing nicely together - grr typical!

Oh and a big hello to all the lovely girls who've left comments of late. It's so lovely to hear from you. TFSB :)

Aren't those pics from the mid 80's lovely? Fashion reports say it's coming back, but they can't do it just as bad this time, can they?

And your layout is great: Love the clean style!
