Don't fall off your perch...

LOL!!! Yep I've finally blogged again!

So many times I've picked out my papers and photos ready to scrap lately, and that's as far as I've got - but the house renos are going well :) It's taken so long that we are back to re-do the rooms we started on - so we have a sparkly new study / sunroom, the lounge room is next then it's time for the dining / craft room to get its makeover - can't wait.

Here's what I came up with for this weeks palette in The Colour Room - just managed to squeeze in some blue along with tonnes of pink & green. I can't believe my #1 is almost as tall as me now - time flies (when you're renovating!!!)


Just realised in the time I've been away blogger has gone and removed the easy option for adding photos direct - so hopefully this works!!!  YAY I just have to "compose" myself before I can "edit"!!

Don't know if you've gone back to Colour Combos site lately - I love some of the colour combos but can't seem to find suitable photos to match their "inspiration".  Keep hoping I will be able to again soon :)

Oh and before I forget...
I had to laugh when DS was packing for camp, fitting a LOT of gear into a LITTLE bag, his comment..."It's like trying to stuff an elephant into a thimble!!!"

Do I like Cocaine...

A little voice piped up from behind me as we were driving to swimming lessons. "Why is that lady asking if he likes cocaine???"

The first question that popped into my head was - how does he know about cocaine?!? He's not even into double digits yet!!!

The second was, this song is NOT about cocaine, so why does he think it is?!? I scanned my brain for the lyrics and realised the words are actually "And when she asks, Do I look OK?" but he would not be convinced that he wasn't singing "And when she asks, Do I like cocaine?"

Just like my friends kiddy was convinced that James Rayne sings "Don't eat your breakfast" instead of "Don't be so reckless" LOL

In case you are wondering I managed to delete my blog before I realised I could just password protect it if I wanted to drop off the radar. So I'm back for now anyways.

Inspired by this weeks offerings at "The Color Room" and some of the 600 odd photos I took while we visited WA with my brother and his family. Glad we decided not to go skiing in New Zealand instead - and glad all my in-laws in Christchurch are no longer shaking in their boots.
