From a tiny tot we were often taken to speedway at Western Springs. In my teenage years I was much more of a groupie - being in the supporters club and helping in the supporters caravan (selling speedway merchandise). A night at speedway would be followed up by a bbq in the car park before heading home at one or two in the morning. Often I'd be back up at five in the morning as I'd have a show to attend (horses). And I loved it.
On Saturday night we headed out to speedway in Christchurch - Ruapuna Park. It was a great night, and I remembered how much I love the smell of methanol fuel lol. We got home just after midnight, I still had to lock the chickens up for the night and then have a shower before heading to bed. I probably went to sleep about one. So why is it, that one 'late' night has me exhausted - it's Monday and I still don't feel like I've caught up on my sleep!! I know I'm an early to bed, early to rise kind of a girl, but this is nuts, I'm not that old LOL.
Here is my layout for the challenge over at Challenge Me Happy.
It needed one photo, two different cardstock (one white for the base and one which I cut into four squares and sent through the cuttlebug). Three journalling spots. Four words in the title (now that was tricky lol). Five patterned papers - green strip, yellow strip, blue strip, all the circles (one piece of pp) and the banner. Six butterflies - and a bit of ink and paint.
I think I should head back to bed now lol. Or go and buy some coke...mmmm coke...LOL. Actually I should empty the dishwasher etc - yep, that's what I SHOULD do!
Have a great week everyone.

You know ... there's nothing wrong with a little nana nap to help catch up on a late night! And I'm loving that layout :)
What great speedway memories you have. As for one late night lol, it's a routine thing lol....that's my story and I am sticking with it lol. Cute layout....Love the title of your blogpost too.
You have done a great job of this, i like the embossing behind the photo. "Speedway" its a wonder you slept a wink with all that adrenalin going on...
That was a big list of things to include in the layout challenge - Well done. Hope you have caught up on the lack of sleep by now. Have a good short week.
