Wrap up of the weekend..

The Fiskars Crop Day here in Adelaide this weekend just gone was heaps of fun. Despite the miserable weather outside, we were nice and snug in the garage during the crop. The day was filled with laughter, great company, yummy food and plenty of scrapbooking.

We created two layouts to start with. These got everyone on their toes with all the stitching, cutting, scoring, tracing and folding involved.. enough to send anyone crazy.. but as I told the ladies.. I need to keep challenging them! lol....lol....->  
 Next we moved on to making five cards...

   

Was nice to have a new face here ('waving madly' to Janet !) and great to see some faces back we haven't had here for a while ('wink' to Melissa !)

As usual we played around with lots of Fiskars goodness.. plus everyone was challenged using the tools in ways they perhaps had not thought of. Old papers were revamped and there was lots of fun had by all.

Once again thanks again ladies for an amazing day.. sorry that we finished so late .. but the day just seemed to get away from us. Enjoyed every one's company and was fun to share ideas.

Looking forward to the next Fiskars crop later this month at Mandy's.

Till then.. Happy scrapping !

TFL, Michelle x

Biggest Morning Tea and Miniature Exhibition - Lyn

What a fabulous day I had today at Stacey Apeitos's Biggest Morning Tea and Miniature Exhibition in Oakleigh South.

Stacey had invited me down for the morning and what a surprise I got to see her 4' high Doll's House nearly completed with Miniatures......so darn cute...and sooooooooo much work creating all the gorgeous little bits and pieces for each of the rooms.....and she told me that she used her trusty Fiskars Scissors to create many of the Miniatures.....

Not sure which room was my favourite......the Nursery,Parlor,Maid's Room,Formal Lonuge,Pantry,Laundry.....it even had a miniature trough and rollers.....other rooms were Study,Bedrooms, Hallway and Entrance....just like in Gone with the Wind....amazing work performed and created over the past 4 months by one very talented and passionate crafter in Stacey.

Some of you may remember Stacey as the original owner of PAPERIFIC.......well this lady is very talented across many different crafts...often combining her skills learnt from one craft to another to complete her projects.

Stacey is also going through her own battle with Cancer and she is an inspiration to all who know and love her......a true trouper with such a positive outlook on life.....she is also a member of various craft groups......felt making,Miniature,stamping to name but a few....she will turn her hand to anything crafty......

Her house is such a fabulous place to visit as it oozes with Stacey's personality and creations everywhere you look. I value Stacy's friendship....she is one remarkable woman who touches all who know her with her warmth and kindness and passion for art and craft!!

What a fabulous idea to combine a Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser for the Cancer Council with this Miniature Exhibition.....our Morning Tea was scrumptious and we were even given the recipes to bring home.....

I must admit I love having the opportunity to mix with crafters from other crafts that I don't participate in.....chatting to others there today was a wonderful experience in itself....I love learning....and to chat to others about their craft...is how you can learn to appreciate other crafts......

Thank you Stacey and George for a wonderful Morning Tea.....and for allowing me to share this pic on here!!

Sunset Cruise/fishing/native flora - Out and About with Lyn

Our last night at CABLE BEACH saw Rod and I join the crew of the old Pearling Lugger INTOMBI for a romantic Sunset Cruise over CABLE BEACH and ROEBUCK BAY in BROOME.....it was just fabulous.....and such fun....wine,food and great company.

We were joined by another 10 more people and what a fabulous time we had singing,drinking and laughing....telling jokes......such a fab night!!

Pearling is still a HUGE industry in BROOME ...pearl shops everywhere inBroome

.....we went on the Willie Creek Pearl Tour whilst in Broome...that was very informative and interesting!!

Hey...guess what girls....I scored a nice pair of pearl ear rings from Rod whilst in Broome...so I'm not complaining......shall get to wear them soon when we dine out!!

Check out this flying fish I caught on camera on the Sunset Cruise......the fish were jumping right out of the water.....and the seagulls were giving them a run for their money....LOL! Notice how clear and clean the water is.....such fun to see and such fun to catch on camera....I just set my SLR to take repeated pics.......and scored some great pics this way.....

...and here's my man.....proud as punch with his catch of 12 Spanish Mackerel when he went out Reef Fishing one day......he caught sooooooo many....so he had to give them away...but we ate some of the Spanish Mackeral...it was yummy...no bones and very sweet tasting....we loved it.....

....we saw soooooooooo many different native plants on our trip from Perth to Broome....I took this pic below in the Karijini National Park......where we stayed in an Eco Tent for 2 fabulous nights!! An unbelievable peaceful place full of Spectactular Scenery and Gorges that are millions of years old.....
