I've finally done it......

I have been checking out the Aussie Scrapjacked site and I have finally participated after procrastinating about it for ages. That's me a PROCRASTINATOR, shocker I know!
I'm sharing my LO here on my take of Nicole Anderson's layout.


I have also been busy with some circle journals for the One stop scrapping DT. One of them required some journalling about why we love our country, so here's how mine goes....

AUSTRALIA Fair dinkum mate, it's a great place. I love having a barbie, putting out some tucker and grog. If you happen to come a gutser, she'll be right mate someone will pick you up and set you on the right track. I love to veg out with my ankle biters, chuck on our bathers and go where the surfies hang or going for an arvo drive to "woop woop". My dream it to do a round Oz trip with my hubby and rugrats!

....as you can see I decided to use some good old Aussie slang.

Another required a quote beginning with the word "SHE", here's a beautiful quote I found on the net (I had to alter it a little so that it began with the word SHE)...

SHE never existed before,

The woman existed, but the mother, never.

The moment a child is born, the mother is also born.

A mother is something absolutely new. Rajneesh

I really love this quote and feel it suits me. Hope you are all having a great beginning to the weekend!
