Layout Share

Here is the first of the layout share, this picture is the same as I have posted before, the paper came from either a kit by Tarisota or from Lime Tart they both do some beautifully coordinated kits, I didn't ever think I could use this kit but it appears here and on the Diva layout. The letters are Lil Davis. Very simple but I am rather pleased with the way it looks - it is straighter IRL it is just the way I photographed it. I really need to update Chester's photos, he is such a big woofer now still with big clomping feet! I think even at six months he still has a bit to grow.


Sorry that there is a bit of refection from the window in this one, I did try to get rid of it and moved about all over the room but it was too dark elsewhere and the flash was going off. I have been waiting to do this picture for a while (this is one of the ones I finished off on Saturday) I know flowers aren't really a boy thing but it seemed to cry out for them. I loved the Scrap FX title and thanks to Kathy B I got the colour to match in by borrowing from her mobile "scrapping library" LOL. I am sure this is from another of the Lime Tart kits - and yes I am trying to use them as much as I can as they are no good to me sitting in their little boxes now are they?




Diva - well what can I say really, I think the pictures speak for themselves ROFLOL. These are the products of a "bored" thirteen year old and a new camera. They were taken shortly after her birthday in May and I downloaded them to my computer, she didn't know but I think she sees the funny side now - or did until I posted them here!!! I believe these are called MySpace photos, or so I have been told. The title was another Scrap FX and the paint again from Kathy - I don't know how she can be so organised for these crops. It has crystal kindy glitz over it to give the bit of bling required, this I think was from a Tarisota kit, but it could have been from a Lime Tart, I have too many sitting in my craft room to remember what is from whom these days. This is one of the reasons I am making the concerted effort to use them.

Fungi, yes those were the colours of these strange little mushies that grew in two of my indoor pot plants, I didn't dare touch them though, they grew from brown lumps in the potting mix to those huge umbrellas in about a week, it was facinating watching them change on a daily basis, though no one was allowed near. If you know what they are I would love to know. Very simple layout, two sheets of bazzil, some bling and some thickers letters - how cool are they? journalling is round the outside of the layout - which seems to be my favourite place to hide it these days.

Edited: I have found out a bit about that Fungi too...it took quite a bit of trawling through Google hits till I typed in yellow mushroom, it is a common houseplant fungus and it isn't harmful, though they don't recommend eating it, its official name is Leucocoprinus birnbaumii, also known as Lepiota lutea. If you want to know more about it or just to read up on interesting fungi then I would recommend that you visit this persons site. Most of the hits I was getting for yellow fungi was for some weird tropical infections in bearded dragons or human nail fungus - yeuch!!

Shhhh Puppy Sleeping

Welcome the newest addition to the Watt household, 8 weeks old and wanting ready for anything. Today is his first day away from his fur family so he has been a bit unsettled, I haven't had much chance to do anything but look after him, cuddle him and play with him, though looking at these photos you wouldn't think so. Think the kids got him all tuckered out when we picked them up from school. He is the most handsome little fellow and should be easy enough to train - heres hoping the toilet training doesn't take too long to get down pat!!

He is from extemely good stock and is from the same linage as my much loved and grieved for boy Jason, so with this one we have a pretty good idea of temperment, build etc. We thought we were going to have to wait for months for a dog that was suitable but for some reason the person who had this one on hold changed their minds - more fool them I say. I will attempt some awake shots tomorrow, today my camera battery was in the craft room with my camera in my bedroom and I wasn't allowed to go anywhere without the little man howling in "agony" at losing me through doors LOL. I didn't want him wandering too much in the house due to accidents and the dangers that lurk in my craft room for little inquisitive puppies who will taste and nibble at anything.

We think we may call him Chester but will give it a few days to make up our minds for certain - I like to see where his personality lies and if he fits this name or another. He does have a grown up official name which I can't remember off hand so will put in later, I don't want to disturb the peace while I can get a few minutes typing. It's going to break my heart to leave him for an hour or so tomorrow but I have to get stuff done. One thing that isn't causing problems is his typical labrador appetite...I couldn't believe how fast his food was put away tonight...even for a lab!!! and he was the smallest in weight of his litter....I have a feeling that won't last LOL. At the moment is nice to have another animal in the house after such a long time...thought I may not be saying that tomorrow morning as I can see a very restless night (and noisey one at that) ahead.
