Caution

 Has there ever been a collection that you thought nah not for me but you ended up buying cause it kinda tied into what you had photos wise? Well this is the case with this collection from Uniquely Creative Steampunk Safari....

I couldnt understand why you would need a rhino and elephant with steam punk. 

Well I officially stand here say you do need these things !!! This kit I have loved working with, I really miss it now its all gone and I do mean ALL gone, to the point to make it last I blended a heap of different brands to make it last a little longer - I know I need help lol.

But the fact that its so versatile is what makes it work, just scroll down to see what I am talking about.

Shackleton

Not much happening here creatively and life wise as well. Hubby is home for his R&R which means I tend to get up early blog then go from there at least my studio is clean right?

Shame about the rest of the house I dont know what happens when he gets in the door but everyone seems to knock off, ahhh well worst things could happen I suppose.

Holiday Getaway

 Oh the day is here, school is back, all the routines and everything that goes with it.... that means some more adulting than I would like to do but trying to look at it in a positive way they are at school.... I mean if they where home and I had to do the homeschooling thing again, I might have a couple less children than I started with if I was being honest.

My children are amazing there get along I dont mind them home in holidays but theres something that happens when it comes to teaching them school work omg this is the reason why I never became a teacher to my art teachers disappointment. I am envious to those who can more power to you... its just not for this little black duck.

Pit Stop

 So the mission is to clear the box of photos on my desk..... has always been the mission and you would think with the amount of layout that I have been doing that this would be easy right? Well I tell you I am pretty sure that the box is getting topped up each night so its still the same amount of full when I left it! Thats my story and I am sticking to is, so time to kick this s#$% into gear, come it cant be that hard, I am only going to do multiple photo layouts.

Especially with events I went to retreat over 2 years ago and I printed the photos off and still havent scrapped them so sorry in advance theres going to be a couple of runs of these till I have finished that stack. 

Also in bid to save paper.... I know I do hear myself out loud I promise I am aiming with these photos to do them back to back so they will fit into the albums so easily and in theory save a little space, right?

Your A Star

 Good morning how are you? We are on our final weekend before school goes back for term 4. This has been such a weird year, so many things turning 40, Covid, Covid and turning 40 .... realising that your not in control of anything really even though you feel you do. Homeschooling, isolating, social distancing, realising that you where always social distancing cause you life really hasnt changed... then feeling a little depressed that, thats the case and you have been training for this your whole adult life?

Another thing is realising that I have a nearly 18 year old and that he is graduating and finishing his school career !!!! WOW !!! Thats all I can say about that I think I might go back into his younger albums and get a little retrospective.... leave that with me I just had an idea!!!

So with that in mind I have two layouts from when he was my little man.....
