NOTICE FOR ALL
These are just my personal Layouts, for the enjoyment, of my family and friends and anyone else who may be interested.
If you care to have a closer look, just click on the picture and a larger version will open for you.
Zach has started to play Totem Tennis each afternoon after he has finished his homework, I try to play with him also, but I only last for about 10 minutes, which is better than not trying at all I suppose. After all his tennis lessons he has a pretty good "Eye" for the ball !!
I lifted this photograph of Orchids from a friend's Facebook Album, they are such beautiful orchids that I just had to scrap them, I didn't write the poem, but it did seem very appropriate for this LO.
When my neighbours and I go walking 3 times per week, we walk along the edge of Botany Bay, this is the view we have of the city across the bay. As the journaling states this is my first successful panorama shot, it is 6 photographs joined together with the help of Adobe Photoshop, I am really please with the results.
I suppose I am getting boring with all these sunsets, but they are so breathtaking to me that I just HAVE to photograph and scrap them, I am totally compelled !
Another photo in Elani's yard that was taken by Noele, seems to me to be a really sweet place for little girls to live !
Noele took these photo's in her and her daughter Elani's yards, pretty special places to be I think.
These are photo's of Zach doing his chores and making a great game out them, that's one way of making work interesting HA !
All of these photo's were taken within 1 hour of each other. Noele is my neighbour and we both took these photo's from our yards, they turned out pretty good don't you think ?
Zach had a bus trip to Canberra with his school, they stayed overnight in a motel then toured around Canberra seeing the sites and visiting some of the attractions there, he had a whale of a time, and really enjoyed the trip. It is a shame that he was bunked with a couple of bullies in the motel that night, but because he is such a balanced kid, he didn't let them ruin his time away, he just let their barbs slide off him. You rock Zach...you are just the greatest !!!!!
I celebrated my 64th Birthday while in hospital recovering from my surgery, the family brought in lots of cupcakes, instead of one big birthday cake and we had a lovely time eating them lol
These photographs show my room mate, Sister Shaz and Zach and of course the Birthday girl (me !!!)
Yvette and Zach were comparing their ear shapes, it is hard to tell one from the other, except that Mummy had heaps of earrings in hers, if it wasn't for them, I believe we couldn't tell who was who ! I think if they took a photo of my ears also, it would be hard to tell between the three of us. Obviously ears run in our family .....what was that you say.....can't (h)ear you lol !!
Created with Sue's freebie kit "Nellies Place", from her blog

Yvette was having a "do" at work and decided to make this Flapper headdress. Zach had to try it on for size,as most curious children would, he does look cute doesn't he lol !!
We went down the coast to Lake Tabourie and discovered this wonderful lighthouse on the way, Zach made this cute pose for us. I think he was pretending to be a pirate on shore for supplies ? !!
Zach has returned to playing soccer again at long last, and he is playing really well after about two years off, due to the terrible tragedy he had with his teeth at school (that is another story, yet to be told).
We are so proud of him, that he has been able to pick up where he left off totally unscathed.
My dear little blue eyed boy.... what else can I say.... you all know how much I adore this little guy. He is home on school holidays with me at the moment, and he is a joy to be with, I just wish that I was able to drive the car so that we could go exploring, but that will come in time (if he can wait for me.) I am working on my walking, 3 times a week, and hope to be strong enough soon to get back behind the wheel...can't wait ...!!!
I had these photos in frames on my dressing table, but decided it was time to scan them and put them "out there" for posterity. Mum and her beloved sister Ettie, I miss them both so much, it still hurts !!
These are two of my Facebook Friends (Duckie in the yellow top), I lifted the photos from their album page, but they were very happy with the results of my labours.
Our home through the eyes of google maps, what a great view the wide angled lens reveals...might have to get me one of those ? !!!!!!
This layout was also created using a kit from

Tom and Jess don't get to the beach very often ..... but when they do..... they certainly make the most of it !!!
Liz and the children look to be having a cuddly time in the pool, there seems to be a lot of love floating around in this layout.
