Happy New Year!!!

Summer has finally hit Canberra - yay!! It is currently a lovely 32C here and we have spent the past few days in our wading pool - big enough for Henry to have fun in anyway. Still trying to find some extra money in our budget for a pool in the new house - maybe just a little one...

A new year means a new challenge for Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge. One last Christmas fling. This time take a trip back in time and tell us a childhood memory from Christmas. Being the bitter twisted person who never holds a grudge (ha) I was reminded of when santa delivered our disassembled swing set that my elder brothers immediately claimed as their own. So of course that led to a fair amount of stirring every time I wanted to use it - for a while anyway.

Most elements are from The LilyPad with a couple (the tree and the abominable snow santa) from Little Dreamer Designs.

Anyway I am over it now... possibly...

And the good news is, we are looking for some new team members for the DT! I love Anne's challenges, always make you think and the end product is a meaningful addition to your scrapbooking albums. So check out the details here, I know most of you are talented enough to join us, please do!


I will attempt to do some real live paper scrapping over the next few days, we did end up at the coast for a few nights, staying with Geoff's Mother. There we learnt that the only item of food that is more tasteless than a boiled onion, is a boiled onion served with silverside (aka boiled meat), boiled potatoes - no butter, boiled carrots and over boiled beans.

Having said that, at least I didn't have to cook it so that makes just about any meal ok in my books..

Have a good first week - I am loving reading about everyones 'one little word' for 2012 - I am completely incapable of restricting myself to one word so I will just be inspired by everyone else. xx
