Sunday, Sunday...




As I sit here writing this I can see my hubby's four wheel drive sitting out the front. It's covered in mud. I must take a photo. He went down the road to drop a hired digger back and decided to visit the river for a spot of off road play. Turns out two other vehicles were stuck down there. Neither of them had tow ropes - lucky for them he always carries a few. He managed to pull one of them out, but the other one is stuck good and fast. He took photos lol. I shall download them and share them sometime this week.

The lovely Louise sent me some digital kits on disc. I now want the term to finish so that I can play with them. I enjoyed the hybrid classes both Louise and Janine took us for on various retreats over the last couple of years. I want to play a bit more now. And I want to figure out how to use photoshop better. Actually I want to figure out how to use photoshop full stop lol. I thought when my hours dropped to four and half a day in a few weeks I could do that (along with my swimming). Now it looks like I'll be fulltime for longer than a few weeks. Oh well, fulltime work means more money so can't complain.

Yesterday I caught up with Vicki and a few other Christchurch girls for Tracey Palmer's crop. We were a small but cheerful group. We brought raffle tickets and fudge lol. I got five layouts done (and should have taken another couple of page kits to do) and have tweaked them a bit this morning. Two for Scrappin Patch challenges, one for an SBO challenge (which I can't upload as I can't figure out how to register - I thought I had a few years back but it won't let me log in...)anyway it was a cool sketch Mich and it's another layout done and dusted. One just for the fun of it which I haven't actually finished yet. And one for another competion which shall remain nameless lol but that I can't put on here yet. And I got to catch up on the latest in SBM magazines thanks to Vicki who always ensures she brings them with her when we catch up lol.


Off to walk the dog...have a good week people.

Love your layouts Trace!
You do know that the more time you have , the less you acheive? Well its seems like that to me anyway!

Hannah said...

I love the layouts, Trace! I'm glad you enjoyed the crop and got plenty done :-)

love all your layouts Trace, you should be able to upload your sketch layout to the SBO gallery without logging in. Do you see the 'upload file' button in the gallery at the top near the 'home' button? Just click on that and follow your nose. =)

oh nice layouts Trace, I like your taked on Mich's sketch. Chilled out is a stunner too. You had a productive crop.

Your hubby will be well appreciated by those that were stuck.

Whoo hoo for extra money, my extra hours should end this month, but we are waiting to hear if they will be extended - due to internal changes.

Great layouts - glad you liked my sketch this week! :)

Fudge...yum! Love your pages, and the 'mud' photos. If you still cannot register at SBO, just send Andrea an email and she will sort it for you, had to do that myself not so long ago :-)
