Arty Oz Collaborative Book

31 Artists contributing this year, the theme being Woman. As usual I try to think outside the square, I was determined not to use a vintage woman image, instead stamping out a beautiful vintage shoe. What says Woman more than shoes?!

House book

Aaaarrrrgggghh. Another swap I signed up for, this one was intriguing, 19 or so others have signed up too! We all have the same house template to make our pages and choose our theme. The hostess chooses 2 themes per month and we all make those pages and send to the owners. The first theme chosen was "Glass House" for Nikki. She likes reflective surfaces and mirrors so I used silver foil board and mirror tiles, I hope she likes my page, I am never too sure about what to do when I haven't done anything like this before. The words behind the door are (with apologies to Blondie) ...Once had a love and it was a gas, soon turned out had a house of glass!

another tag book page...

This one is Debra's, with the theme of Angels. The photo is not the best but I loved doing this page and hope Deb loves it too.

This... is lucky Gail's Book!

This collaborative tag book has been around Australia and I was the last to work in Gail's book. Her title page is Birds of a Feather and the last page is now Flock Together.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME....and Gail, and Jennifer and ...

I lost computer access for nearly two weeks then I lost the will to blog! I have done a few projects but forgot to take photos.

There are lots of special people celebrating birthdays in August. Mine is in the 25th and Gail's on the 28th. Happy Birthday to all Virgos :)

Happy Birthday Mum!

75 today! Just home from hospital so we couldn't go anywhere but her house for lunch. I was up at 7am, on a Sunday, to put the Weber on. Kathryn wanted to do a BBQ but she is renovating and has half moved into Mum's house so I suggested a roast. It was a great day with all the cousins getting together for a family Lamb roast. I am buggered now so I might have to give Dexter a miss tonight!

Play Day

Crafty Mums got together today after the school holidays although a couple of us were missing. We usually talk and muck around too much to get anything done but today was different. Jayne worked on her personalised family history, Gail worked on Stuart's Birthday card, Suzanne made her neice a card and I have a new ATC folder which I love. It is foolscap size and when it was given to me was covered in red vinyl. I also had help with my collaborative book so everything is looking good!
