I shouldn't be sitting here right now but I'm biting the bullet and blogging before a whole month gets away from me!
Like everyone else I know my life lately (always) has been hectic and a bit chaotic. I often wonder when things might slow down and if they do, will I like it? Probably not.
A few weeks ago, Suz and I realised that we were both drowning in commitments and like most mums of youngish kids, we were (are) hardly ever afforded enough uninterrupted time to catch up with work so we headed out towards the mountains and the quiet and rented a little holiday cabin for a weekend. The view of the snow on Mt Baw Baw was gorgeous and the whole place was lovely.
The weather had been cold and wet, yet the one weekend we're stuck inside working, the sun came out and the weather was glorious...
Mind you, I got quite a bit of work done and could sleep when I wanted, eat when I wanted and didn't have to pick up after anyone but me. I'd love to say it was lovely and relaxing but it was very much trying to get as much work done in as little time as possible. Lovely to do it all without distraction though...
I managed to not only complete this kit for our Budget Scrapbooking October Christmas Card kit release -
but I finished off the October Quickutz kit too!
I managed FIFTEEN cards from our $20 card kit - I was stoked! If you're interested in buying them, you'll find them on our site here
And Suz's Pages kit too!
Speaking of scrapbooking and paper stuff, you've all seen this which is in Scrapbook Creations this month -
Well, I also did the Scrapping For Teens article this month. Here's my contribution -
A CD case and a little cover for a gift card. AND thanks to a very generous teen, this little book from passport pics. I put the call out on Facebook that I needed teen pics and her and her Mum chased up and scanned all the pics I needed. SO helpful!
And.....here is a little book I made for Aussie Scrap Source using lots and lots of Glimmermist. It was actually to showcase a few different uses of bobbly trims (they're so yummy)
For such a little project I'm telling you it felt like it took me forever to complete it! I'm SO slow...
I've been more than busy with photography jobs lately and LOVING it! I've had some of THE coolest jobs ever. Some have been commercial jobs so I can't show them yet but others I can share away. Like this one, a current fave because it was SO fun!!!
Aren't they hotties?
Three sisters who did this just because they wanted too. Cool huh? AND they thought they had TWO hot rods coming from a friend. We ended up with SIX gorgeous amazing old cars including a Mustang from a random stranger who saw what we were doing and offered her car to us for photos. People were stopping us and saying more women should do it. It was empowering for all of us and I've never really been "into" cars but the red one above was just SO beautiful it took my breath away. I have literally hundreds of great pics to sift through and having a ball doing so. You can see more of them here
Here's a few more of the G family. I loved looking at these gorgeous cherubs, they're so adorable..
And....I had a belly in the bush shoot too!
Lots more of those on the way :) It was a crazy adventure getting there. I wish I made more time to blog so I'd get it all down!
For now though I'm sure I've annoyed everyone enough with this giant photo-fest.
Back to editing and scrapping for me, thanks for stopping by!
Nic :)
