Hi everyone, I really don't know how you mothers who work full time manage, still juggling time this end, but managed to do the
Get Picky challenge this month, wanted to try to use a busy background paper, not sure if because my mojo has been a little low is the reason I was not 100% happy with it. Needed to scrap though. Just click here to see the
Challenge Poster for inspiration
.
Here is little man, after he wakes at 8am on my work mornings, still in his Broncos pj's, making a toast and peannut butter breakfast that he just has to do himself of course.
Was super happy QLD won the State of Origin rugby league challenge for the 6th consecutive year......it's a record. Wow what a great game, I hate missing my Criminal Minds but I had to channel surf.....
Good friend
Shell - who is an awesome scrapper has this gorgeous stash to send to someone, she has
heaps of prizes and all you have to do is to follow her blog. How easy is that, she lives in Texas USA and this prize is open for International followers too.
I was fortunate to win the
A2Z Scraplets Blog Hop sketch challenge last month with this layout, just love their chippy bits and look forward to doing their next challenge. Just pop over
HERE to see it.
Well we went to see Transformers III and it was awesome except that each night since last Friday I have watched either I & II each night. I think I have seen them at least 8 times each now. At least Josh Duchemel offers that little bit of eye candy to look at.
Will so try to be better with my blogging, miss you all so much. Melx

hehe Yes it can be a juggle working full time, just got to keep all those balls in the air. Don't worry you will find a routine. It is hard though because you need to get the same amount of stuff done, just in less time :( Don't stretch yourself too thin though and try to find some you time too! Congrats on the win is a beautiful layout xoxo

Shame Mel so sorry to hear that you are struggling to adjust. No problem. Just take all the time you need. You are an awesome scrapper no matter what & I know that you will come & share with us when you have the time. I love how you gessoed the polar bear layout. Great way to use that tricky paper (I also have it so you gave me an idea LOL) I am also struggling time-wise. July seems to be such a busy time for so many of us - let's hope things calm down soon!
Congrats on ur win! You deserve it! You have been a fantastic scrapper from the first day I discovered you :)
Hi Mel, so sorry for not stopping by sooner! I am finding the juggle of time quite difficult too - and I only work 3 days! I love blog hopping but just haven't had the time to do much on the computer lately at all. Your work is so beautiful. I love the perspective of the photo on your Get Picky page, very well done and thank you so much for continuing to support our little challenge site!
Another gorgeous take on the Get Picky challenge, Mel! Love the distressed circle, the photo, and your more masculine-yet-elegant take on the poster!
