Today's photo for Bons.

My handbag swinging off the back

of the nearest chair.

And of course my sunnies,

never go outside without them.

We have finally got some rain.

Yeah right, it was a torential downpour.

Cuttagee lake was closed to the ocean yesterday

with no water within cooee of the bridge,

this is it today. Not only water near the

bridge but it is now running out to sea.

The girls and I were standing under the bridge

taking photos a week ago.

And my feeble attempt at scrapping.

Not the best photos of the LO's,

I had to wait until dark to take them

so the colours are not showing up very

well.

This one is Skyes blue challenge,

had to be at least 80% blue,

use hand stitching and a male

relative, but not a son.

So I finally scrapped a photo of my dad.

And the paper of the month, with a twist.

Use Kraft paper, and use any of the following;

Yellow, Red, Masking using paint or spray,

buttons handsewn on, and polka dots.

I still have Theo's camera, and love the way

the photos work. Even taking photos of photos

and they look good. Think I had better

give it back soon though.

Best get back to scrapping or something,

should try and finish off these cards tonight.

Thanks for stopping by.

Well, we are still doing the photography

challenge over at bons

These are my entries for

Sunday, feeling thankful that we

live here in Bermagui and I can take

a photo like this everyday.

Monday.

Stalked the garbage truck, I tried to get

the garbage falling out of the bin, but

discovered you cant actually see that.

Today,

I worked and nearly forgot about a pic.

So today I took a photo of the vegies cooking

on the stove. Not my best effort that is for sure.

I have only managed to finish two of the

challenges, I seem to have no trouble

getting out papers and making a mess

but when it comes to putting a page together

I am really struggling.

This one of Sheri is Sandies Jan class,

one of her favourite movies lately is

the one called 'ps, I love you' so

I thought I would go with that for the title.

This one of Tiff is for the Write Now challenge.

It was definitely a challenge, I hate

putting my thoughts on paper, what I want to

write and what goes on the page is never the same.

I am trying to make an effort to do some more

scrapping but I am not getting very far.

I think maybe it might be time to go

shopping and find some inspiration.

So without further ado, I will say

thanks for stopping by and leaving me

some love. Catch you all again soon.

4 days into the new school year

and I have already lost my cool.

Tiff now has to go on the bus to Narooma

with Sheri, it leaves at a specific

time in the morning, it hasn't happened yet

but I know we are going to miss

it on more than one occasion.

Tiff will need to learn that when

I say it is time to leave she needs to be

ready, not grabbing things as we are

heading out the door. This morning

it was shoes and socks.

The socks getting dropped on the step on

the way, meaning I had to turn

around to come back and find them.

I lost my cool big time and yelled

at her and then refused a goodbye

kiss cause I was so mad with her.

We mad it to the bus with seconds to spare.

Now I have vented I can get on with my day.

Thanks for listening.

Photo Challenge and Portrait shots...

Guess what????

I won the photo challenge in Jan's CC over at

Bons

how awesome is that, I won by just one

point over Tara. Well done Tara.

So now in the Game on 2 comp

I am entering the photography challenge

again, not so easy this time,

we have to do everyday moments.

So anyway here is what I have done so-far.

Day one 28.1.10

Tiff playing the Wii after school.

thought about using this one,

setting sun over the harbour.

Or this one, taken whilst talking cameras

with Sheri's boss, down by the wharf.

Day 2, 29.1.10

Again with Tiff, hand-feeding the sheep.

These things love her so much they

actually climb the fence for a cuddle.

Tempted to use this one instead,

taken just after watering the vegies.

Day 3, 30.1.10

A birds eye view of my washing.

Didn't think anyone would want to see

what was hanging up.

Could have used any of the following ones.

These are just a few of my favourites from

the 179 photos I took today, they were mostly

of Tiff, she is my best model, hates having her

photo taken but will still smile for me everytime.

I love the Black and White portraits.

Just love this one of Tiff, probably the worst

looking one, but it is just real ( iykwim).

I could rave on all day about these wonderful

photos of my beautiful daughters but I think

you sort of get the point, I am biased,

I think they are the best looking kids around.

Thanks for popping in for a visit.

Seeya soon.

I am off to play with the camera.

Hopefully when I return I will have some

nice portrait shots to show you.

I am still waiting for the canon

to play with, but I should get it soon.

Have a nice day.

See you soon.

My baby girl started Year 7 yesterday.

She is growing way too fast.

I am sure it was only yesterday she

started in Kindy.

I hope she handles the transition well,

having to get on the bus 45 mins

earlier might be the biggest

challenge for a while. It

takes a bit to get her moving sometimes.

Random photos using the Nikon 90D.

Fishermans wharf

The great aussie lifeguards

Not to be messed with.

spiny critter

The blue pool taken for the comp

over at Bon's.

Another comp photo,

something fashionable.

Sheri's pic of Tiff clowning around

on the bridge struts.

Sheri. I am still trying to work

out how to take a decent portrait

shot with this camera.

Love this. Gulls coming in to land.

or taking off trying to catch a chip.

The most awesome sunset ever.

Blowing bubbles by the sea.

And my very yummy Pav.

Very australian with green and yellow

as the theme. Pity it was the day

before Australia Day.

Ok, enough from me. I am supposed to

be at work already.

Hopefully today I will get the Canon

to have a play with.

I am getting excited, I think I have

Mark resigned to the fact that I

am getting a camera, he

has stopped trying to talk me out of it.

Ok, catch you later.

Be good, and thanks for stopping by.

Game on 2, Over at Bons......

It took me a week but I finally finished

two of the Lo's for the CC over at Bons.

The first one is actually Sandies class

which was held in conjunction with the CC.

Very well set out instructions , easy to

follow and pleasing result. Now it

might have been a bit better if I could

actually follow instructions. I only

changed it a little bit, so it is nearly the same.

This one is for the Sketch challenge, there were

a few basic's to follow but again, I cant follow

instructions to the letter.

We were supposed to stamp circles or

something using 3 different paints, and

lids off jars or something, I throw junk

like that so had nothing to work with,

so I ran paint covered marbles over the

CS instead, and then hand drew the flowers/fireworks

or what-ever they are instead.
And I cant stick letters on straight at all.

Hate it when I notice things like that when it

is too late to change them.

There is going to be another week of fun over at

Bon's

it is called

GAME ON 2.

So far the clues and hints are

sounding rather scary, but

it is supposed to be a challenge, right?

So come on over, and join in the fun.

It all starts tomorrow,

THURSDAY 28th, JANUARY.

See you there.

Tara, Tani's hair is just adorable.

Cute as a button, and makes her look

so different.
