Where has the last (almost) two months gone? Here's a bit of what I've been up to in that time -
Not much scrapbooking (only 1 layout), not much photography (only 1 photo), lots of working, and not much housework! I also completed a window installation for the local Upwelling festival (rather stressfull - good to have it finished!)

Here they all are:

Joined 'Picture Fall' (spring for me) and here is the one photo I took - the prompt was Leaves -

Joined October LOAD (it is part of the Scrap Happy group) and so far have made one layout - for Sara & Bill who have become grandparents for the first time, Congrats!

and the main thing I have been doing (although a lot of the time was spent, staring into space trying to decide what to do, and how to do it!)- and why I havn't had time to have any blog posts! This is for our towns Upwelling Festival tomorrow - it is a window display for the 2nd hand bookshop - I'm glad to have it finished. At the front of the picture is a book with the pages cut out - the pages have been used on the mural, and also folded into whales and dolphins which hang in front of the mural (hard to see in the photo) and are 'escaping' from the bookBack soon with some layouts, and more 'Slice of Life Tuesday' next week.

Picture Spring - New Prompt - 'Make a wish, it's dandelion season.' I have two photos - one inside and one outdoors.

Yes, I have fallen behind in my 'Picture Spring' daily photos! But, I've decided I'm not going to stress or try to catch up - I am going to just go forward from the latest prompt!

Prompt 23/30. Project minded. A photo of what project you are working on! Here we have Mini Lamington cup cakes that Laura made today! Yumm!

My next two 'Picture Spring' photos.
Prompt 16/30. - Shadows.


Prompt 17/30. The fabric of Spring (Autumn!)

Picture Spring Prompt 15/30 - 'Looking Back'. Take a photo from your archives and team it with a new photo to make a diptych! The apple blossom photo was taken last July. I can't believe that we are half way through this class already!

More photos from my 'Picture Spring' Class.

I have just started a new class at Big Picture Scrapbooking (I won the place, which makes it even better!), it is called Picture Spring, taken by Tracey at Shutter Sisters. We are sent a daily prompt to inspire a photo (mine will be autumn though, not Spring!) Here is my first few days (I have been away on holidays in Adelaide, so the first 2 photos are while I was there). I plan to update each day here, and try not to get behind!

1/30. Prompt - New beginnings.

2/30. The prompt - your morning ritual. This is my gluten free cornflakes, with sultanas.


3/30. The prompt - 30 steps from where you pick up your camera.



4/30. The prompt - look up to the sky. This is looking from my garage.
