OCTOBER CHALLENGES - SCRAP THAT SONG

-
And I am all alone
There is no one here beside me
And my problems have all gone
There is no one to deride me

But you got to have friends
The feeling's oh so strong
You go to have friends
To make that day last long
I had some friends but their gone
Someone came and took them away
And from the dusk till the dawn
Here is where I'll stay

Standing at the end of the road, boys
Waiting for my new friends to come
I don't care if I'm hungry or bored
I'm gonna get me some of them

Cause you got to have friends
La la la la la la la la la
Friends, I said you,
Oh you, yeah you, I said
You got to have some Friends
Something about friends
Just right friends
Friends, friends, friends

I had some friends oh but they're all gone, gone
Someone came and snatched them away
And from the dusk until the very dawn
You know here is where I gotta stay
Here is where I gotta stay
And I'm standing at the end of a real long road
And I'm waiting for my new friends to come
I don't care if I'm hungry or freezing cold
I'm gonna get me some of them

Cause you got to have friends
That's right friends
Friends,?.I gotta see my, I gotta see my
I gotta see all of my friends, friends
Friends, friends, friends
Ohhh

These are the lyrics to the Bette Midler song "You got to have friends" and is my choice for the October song Challenge at Scrap that Song http://scrapthatsong.blogspot.com/  I was kind of singing the chorus in my head as I was scrapping these pics of the gorgeous Mary http://mbennetts.blogspot.com/ and the lovely Kim http://lifeisabalancingactx8.blogspot.com/ but until I read the lyrics I never realise that it was a bit of a sad song. Oh well, take what you want and leave the rest, that's how it works doesn't it?
So without further ado here is my page honoring these two amazing women who are such an important part of my life.
 


Used lots of yumminess on this page, starting with the pp which is from the Mariposa Stack - DCWV, butterflies punched out of pp from the Prima Madeline A4 stack, Kaiser Paper Bloom, hand made twirl flowers, Websters netting (just gorgeous) and alphas (coloured ones), random small paper roses (local craft shop), small chippie bird cage (bought this at the Brissy expo but can't remember which stand), Prima alphas, ribbon from the lovely Jo Tritton http://mycherrypiecreations.blogspot.com/ and thanks to the sweet Cheryl O'Brien for letting me play with her Cricut (so want one now). The quote was from A little book of friendship and just the perfect size.
All up I really love the page except not too sure of the alphas on Mares' pic, oh well they are there now.
Anyhoo thanks for stopping by and having a peek, hugs and love to all xo

Hi Annette, Thanks for having a look at the linky issue for me. I still don't think it's working properly though. I uploaded my layout but it isn't showing. I tried a second time and it said my link already exists? These things are a headache aren't they lol xox

SCRAPPY SATURDAY WITH COMPANY

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

OMG I HAVE BLOGGED!!!!!!

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...
