Brisbane Expo - June Long Weeked - Friday and Saturday

-
This was such a fantastic time for Mary, Kim and myself, travelling away together to go to the Scrapbooking Expo at Brisbane. I just about drove Miss Mary insane with my excitement but lucky for them I slept most of the way on the plane.

 Our first night in Brisbane was spent at the Pineapple Hotel, we had a nice meal and then joined the lovely Leanne Horsmans Trivia team where unfortunately we didn't contribute that much but we had a fun night.

We had a very laid back morning, sat around in our pj's for a while and then enjoyed the glorious sunshine, Orange had been a bit chilly before we left.


My brother Jeff came over to Leannes and we all went for a drive to an antique shop were we enjoyed coffee and cake and shopping. Found myself a vintage Oroton handbag as well as another piece of wedgewood. Jeff joined us all for dinner and Leannes husband Jeff and I wahtched the football, unfortunately Titans beat the Dragons but a great game.

SATURDAY - The Day of the Expo

The excitement of the day was nearly too much for me but as usual Miss Mary had to be persauded, with the help of a hair brush, to have a shower and get moving.










The shopping, was for me, awesome and Scrapmatts, Scrapware and My 2 Angels had some awesome stuff.

We had a bit of a picnic on the floor and met some of the awesome ladies from the Boxx that have been worshipped from afar.
Towards the end of the day the lovely Leanne J came and joined us and we spent some nice time bonding with her, she is just gorgeous.

I am so fortunate to have two really awesome ladies, Mary and Kim as my dearest friends, and incredibly lucky that we have the opportunity to get together every second Saturday to scrap.  This Saturday was fantastic as we had the lovely Cheryl (Cootamundra) and the gorgeous Jo (Mudgee) both travel to join us all for the day. We all had so much fun, scrapping, chatting, playing with the great toys that Jo (bigshot) well looked at Jo's didn't really play, but will next time and Cheryl (cricut) did have a play with it (can see a wish list happening here)   And then of course there was lunch, chicken, tossed salad (with a yummy handmade dressing by Mary) and crusty french stick, but the thing that we were all waiting for was Kims Famous PAV and boy was the wait worth, it think she excelled hereself this this. And if the look on Jo's face was anything to go by, yes, it tasted as good as it looked, I still have one piece left for afternoon tea today. Yummo!!!! Then u...

Stuck?!: October 15th Challenge

-

So the second challenge I did a layout for is the October 15th Challenge at Stuck?! Sketches, October 15th Challenge . Really liked the Sketch for this Challenge It was perfect for this last picture of my beautiful dog Wombat who crossed over the rainbow bridge on the 22nd September this year. He was not quite 17 and was the most gentle, loving and incredible dog that I have had the privilege of being part of our lives. Unfortunately his arthritis became that bad a decision had to be made. He took a piece of my heart with him and he will never be forgotten. For this page I used some old 7 dots studio Lost and Found paper, washi tape, jute ribbon and lots of bits and pieces from my stash. Cheers all Annette

Just wanted to share a couple of recent layouts I have done, the first is for the current challenge at http:// www.orangepaperieandco.blogspot .com.au/2013/11/ some-more-layouts-from-dt-to-in spire-you.html where the lovely Jo has a sketch with the added criteria of fussy cutting and using die cuts. I used this stunning pic of my friend Susan Walters gorgeous little granddaughter Bella for my page. I gave the page to Sue as a gift and didn't expect the reaction I got, she was quite overwhelmed, made the work I put into this so worthwhile. A bit of a closie showing the gorgeous flower which I did mutilate by pulling apart, oh dear The second is so precious to me, it is my amazing cousin Sandra Nuttall with her new son Everett, who came into this world a bit too early and fought very hard to stay, thankfully a battle he won, the look of love and wonder on her face as she watches him sleep leaves me speechless. The page with Sandra...
