Off the air for 3 weeks!!

Yup that's right I head off to Tassie tomorrow to find Chris somewhere to live and help mum move to Queensland driving so I will be off the air for 3 weeks total, although I may have access and be able to check my emails but that's probably all I'll have time to do LOL.

So to keep you all going for a little while here is what I did over the last few days. Shannon Fahrnbach's Corrugated Glitter Papers and bobby pins by me.
Shannon Fahrnbach's "How does your garden grow?" My bouquet!
Terrell Sanzone's "Blue Fantasy" Kit, this is Renee and Simon at our wedding LOL. I love this pic of Renee!!
This is some stuff I made the other day to use with these photos of MY MEN!
Ah Romance, Michael's singing Nick Cave's "Into My Arms"
while we have our Bridal waltz!! This is my Precious Paisley Paper and the ribbon and feathers are from my Dear Diary Kit!

Okay so that's it for now gotta run and make sure I haven't forgotten to pack anything LOL!

Have a great 3 weeks, I'll be back soon LOL!!

Can you believe it?? Michael thought My Muffins were a Packet mix, sigh!! So No they aren't, they are Stephanie Alexander's base recipe and then I add the Banana, Pecan, Choc Chips and honey to the mix to make them yummo!!!

Okay so apparantly someone at Michael's Station asked for the recipe and that's when he said that!! That's why I have put the recipe up here for whoever wants it LOL.

WARNING: THESE ARE NOT WEIGHT WATCHERS FRIENDLY MUFFINS, THEY ARE FULL OF FAT!!!

So I suggest you only make a batch if you are going to freeze some or you are doing what I do and sending some to work for the hungry Ambos!!

Okay well that's it for now! Off to make Michael's dinner before he heads off to work for nightshift!!

Later

Woo Hoo I won Layout of the Week at MOOTWO

And it was for the layout I did with my Kit!! Awesome!!

Anyway I was very happy and it cheered me up no end LOL. I was so surprised to have won cause the layouts chosen for layout of the day are always such awesome pages done by all the fabulous scrappers there at Mootwodesigns and so it's no easy feat LOL. I love this photo of me getting out of the car, with my bouquet and my Lamont Tartan shawl that belonged to my Grandmother and my Pearls that were a loan from my Mum. So for the OLD, NEW, BORROWED, BLUE

thing, the old is the Ring I am wearing that was my Gran Conroy's pearl ring! The New was My Garter that I made for the wedding and the Borrowed are the Pearls and the Blue is the Shawl, so I was totally covered for Wedding superstitions LOL!!

Well yesterday was Australia Day here down under but I didn't do much apart from scrapping Heath and I did another layout with some of my stuff.

It's another wedding layout, I don't think I have scrapped these photos though so always something new LOL. The kit I made here I am calling Precious Paisley. I think I will start on some of the guest photos soon and that will be something different LOL.

Okay so Michael is working tonight and I am wondering what to cook him for dinner, although I can't give him a lot as it makes it harder for him on his ride to work LOL!! I know how it is, when I ride I have to have an empty

stomach or I get aweful cramping, and that's not good!!! LOL.

Well I have been sussing out the route we should take to Brisbane and I am in two minds about taking the Inland or Coast. Actually there are two inland roads too so I am just trying to take the one that has the least mountains etc. I don't want to be climbing hills and windy roads all the way. I guess with us getting in at 6pm and then by the time we get the car off and get on our way it will be 7pm so we might make it to Albury if we are lucky and then have to stop for the night! I am thinking we will manage it in two days, that would be great cause then I can have a day there before flying home on the 21st.

Okay well I am off to check out what everyone else has been up to, have a great day everybody!!

Tragedy of Heath Ledger's Passing

At only 28 years of age we have lost

the biggest Success of Australian film in recent years. I was shattered when I heard the news and literally ran to the TV when I heard them say it on Sunrise. Oh My God, what a great loss for the Australian Film Industry and for all his fans. I know Leanne will be heartbroken too. Hugs Hun!! He was such a gorgeous guy and a fabulous actor, very shy and a wonderful, proud Daddy to little Matilda. He was going to turn 29 on 4th April.

I am not going to go into the why's of his tragic death, I am only going to say that I am certain he didn't commit Suicide!! The Stilnox that he was taking is what I believe did it. Michael, an Ambulance Officer, as you know, says that is very dangerous stuff and they are always going to people who have overdosed accidentally on it.

So I have been a bit blue the past three days over this aweful news, and feel so Heartbroken especially for Matilda, his 2 year old daughter!!

I Can't help but think of Michael Hutchence and how these little girls will grow up without their Daddy.

Okay so I scrapped Heath in the last few days. I used Blue Fantasy by Terrell Sanzone for the ones of heath on his own, the perfect kit name for how I feel at the moment.

For the layout with Matilda on his shoulders I used Terrell Sanzone's Mardi Gras Blog Train kit, in memory of happier times with her daddy!!

I have nothing more on the subject, I think about it so much that I don't want to overload by blogging every detail as well.

Okay so I am off for the big road trip on Thursday, well to help prepare for it at least. My son Christopher has to find somewhere to live and so I am going early to help him move too. Mum is pretty organised though so there won't be much to do with her place!! She is having her garage sale today so hopefully she will get rid of the stuff she is trying to sell and we won't have to dispose of much when I go down.

Well that's it from me for now, take care and I hope all is well with you wherever you are!!

Watch This Space LOL!!

Well it is 7.30 here in Sydney and Michael has scored an overtime shift so I have all day to play with all the new kits TerrellS has posted for Me and Doreen to play with so I will be here for a while today and should post some layouts later in the day!! So Watch this space LOL!!

We had an interesting day yesterday, I got up and went to my Weight Watchers Meeting. I put on 300g, damn it!! But I have to say I haven't been the best at tracking this last week and was skipping meals so I think I was taking in too much in my evening meal LOL!! So When I got back I had to get lunch done and then off to see my friend Sue. She works for Meals on Wheels for the elderly and was stuck at work for 2 hours with not much to do so I caught up with her while she worked and answered a total of only two calls LOL!! Oh well she's being paid to sit there I guess!! After that I got home and immediately changed into my biking gear and we drove down to the end of our usual ride and proceeded to ride to Kurnell to see what we thought about adding it to our already 26km ride. From there to Kurnell is about the same distance so we would be doubling the distance. There were steady inclines and I seemed to handle them alright but I don't think I would after riding the other distance already so we are going to just add some of it to our existing ride!! As long as we are increasing the distance a little it will help with improving our conditioning so we don't get too comfortable with the ride and our bodies are still working. I know for a fact that it must be doing something cause I feel less jiggling of my legs as I pedal LOL!! So there must be less flabby fat there mustn't there !!!!?

Okay well I'm off to play for a while and then do some designing later this after noon, hope everyone is well and will post back later with some layouts!!

Hugs

Tracy :)
