Well, it is wet out there, very wet.  I hope you all home safe and dry. 

Busy day yesterday and more to come.  I got the shelves for my craft room.  I am in the process of rearranging it and tidying it up.  Hopefully will be able to get rid of some things.  I think I have about 6 cutters.  I will definately keep the 2 purple cow ones and my kaiser, but the others can go.  Really don't need that many.  I will (with great embarassment) show you the before photos when I have after photos to show as well. 

Does your family hand you everything they pick up, ie; batteries, papers, catalogues etc. and just expect you to put it away where it belongs, or as in my case does everything end up on your craft desk or personal workspace?  I have decided to put a couple of in trays in my new shelves and everything can go in there and be kept tidy and sorted.  Lets hope it works.

Kids back to school here on Tuesday, CAN NOT WAIT, just hope the rain lets up by then.  My youngest, Robbie, goes into yr 2 this year, suddenly he seems older.  Is everyone looking forward to it or do you like having your kids at home? 

Yummy Cinnamon scrolls for breakfast today, if you like to bake or have a sweet tooth, this is such an easy recipe, thank you Melissa for putting it on your blog http://melissagoodsell.typepad.com/day_to_day/2011/05/cinnamon-scroll-bake-off.html
In fact if you like craft and turning a house into a home, this is a great blog to follow.

Any way I will go for now and try to work out how to get my shelves inside without getting wet.

Well...  It is now 2013.  I have been very slack and not posted for much too long.

I have to admit that my goal of being published for my scrapbooking hasn't happened.  I have had very little motivation or inspiration.  I am hoping this year will be different.  I have been taking lots of photos, people, places and just things I find interesting, mostly nature shots.  I will post some here.  I need to practise more and learn more too, but I do enjoy it and think I have an eye for what makes a good photo.

As to my other crafts, I finished a crochet blanket for our grand daughter Ashleigh and then Robert wanted one, so I started one for him (not finished yet).  I haven't touched my cross stitch in months, nor any of my other craft projects. 

I really need to clean out and re organise my craft space.  I will take some photos (blush) of the mess and then hopefully over the next couple of months I will be able to show the transformation.  I have an idea of what I want it to look like, I just have to be able to afford the furniture and make it work.

I will finish with a photo of our 2 day holiday in Yamba, just got back this afternoon.
