It's been forever since I've updated the blog as I just don't have the mojo to update it. Not that nothing happened. I just didn't feel like people wanted to know... I know: sounds like crap to me too.

Not going to try and catch up. I'm just going to go one (and ignore the gap - yes, say it and believe it ;-)).

So here is what's on my mind:

1) I should scrap more - or more meaningful;

2) I love "the simpsons" and can't believe they so "old" already;

3) I should update the look of the blog;

4) I can't wait to go to Melbourne for the week end;

5) Lucky to have gotton tickets to AC/DC (not that it's my type of music - but it will be great to see the Aussie band in Australia)

Ok, Im going to try and update the blog more often.

Cheers,

All of Perth...

Hi All,

In my search of some mojo, I'm looking at some local shops and sites (from Perth) that could help:

1) pigeonhole is a local shop owned by Johann. I buy all the cameras there. Have a look at the shops. Love his originality and the fact that he's so open to support local and international talent.

2) Perth's best of Architecture: don't always get what all the styles are, but like that maybe I can walk pass some of these places and actually know what to look at..

3) And then on the other side of the scale: the worst of Perth.. Amusing.. some times.

4) Perf kids. Some interesting out and about items.

5) The butcher shop. Some alternative stuff here.. and I LOVE this...

Thats it. For now.

Mojo still gone...

So I just can't get myself to scrap or write on this... I can't even do the "what is on you're mind" on facebook...

So tell me, what do you do to break the a dry spell? And is it normal to last for so long??

I can only hope that new stuff will help me break the spell... of to shop some (but no promise that will help either...) HELPPPPP!!

Might be old news to some.. but this is fun!!

I came across this site www.photofania.com... And I'm loving it!

This is one of those photo's that is very funny at the time, but then you see if afterwards... and you think.. what was I thinking.. well, this is one way of making it funny again!! Just imagine with this was true....

The face on the dress is a friend... if only the body was mine...ahhhhh... I can only dream.

Well, hope to post more going forward.

Clock....

The clock I made for the scrapbooking university over at 2 Angles scrapping. Not something I would normally do, but loved this!!

Took me forever to get an idea.

Today we went to watch "He's just not that into you". Loved it.. except that the movie contradicts itself in the end.. but then movies have to end happy...

Scrapbook giveaways

In today's hard economic times, if someone starts a new business venture, I take my hat off to them... Marks Paper company did just that. They have some really nice papers which you can see here. I particularly like the green and red papers.

Just as exciting is the first range of papers that has been designed by Webster Pages. Currently you can win the entire range of papers. This is a really exciting range of papers and I can just think of all the beautiful LOs that can be made with them... can you hear me drooling over these papers??

Till later..

Rak Arrived... Jippyyyy

(Jippy is a South African expression for happiness...)

I received the RAK from Amy. Love the papers, but the thing that makes me go "ahhh" is the hand written note. Thanks Amy!!.

Absolutely love all the papers and goodies... The yellow page with the bird on it is my fav!! Can't wait to start scrapping with these..

Bye for now.
