I survived.......................

the week in Sydney with Year 10!! In fact, we didn't have just a good week ~ we had a great week!! The kids were so well behaved (apart from not sleeping on Monday night, but that ensured early nights the rest of the week!!) and really made the most of the visits. I had the pleasure of taking a Sydney Airport Tarmac Tour (totally recommend this activity), a Centrepoint tour followed by lunch in the revolving restaurant, ANZ Stadium tour, and visited a Graphic / Interior Design college, Pivot Point ~ the world class hairdresser training facility, Oceanworld and the International Hospitality College at Manly. I also took in the movie "The Proposal" ~ completely recommend this one and a spot of shopping at Chatswood Westfield.
I came home crook ~ just a head cold and spent most of yesterday resting and recovering, but feeling pretty good today.

Obviously no scrapping this week, but I have a couple of layouts to share that I finished last weekend:

Well that's all for now, I need to go and finish some layouts (Suz if you're reading this they are coming!!). have a great Sunday

Reports, reports, reports..........................

the one aspect of my job that I really dislike. For someone who always has something to say I find writing reports just plain tiresome!! They are easy for the good kids and the bad kids but those fence sitters sure are hard!! Anyway they are done again for this half of the year and I can forget about them for 6 months.

I was on a tighter timeframe than usual as I am heading to Sydney on Monday for a week on our Year 10 Careers excursion. I have escorted this trip 3 times in recent years and it is the best excursion I have ever been on ~ the kids develop and grow so much over this week when faced with the big smoke!! So this week for me means: Sydney, 7 x teachers, 120 x Year 10 kids, public transport and minimal sleep. Am I keen ~ hell yes!!

Off to finish some chores and do some scrappin

Cheers...........................Leanne

Last Layouts.................

Thanks Mel for providing me the oportunity to be on your Design Team ~ I've really enjoyed myself. Good luck and best wishes for the future.

P!NK Powerhouse........................

She is awesome.

We had the pleasure of attending P!nk'sFunhouse concert last night and it was sensational!!
For just short of two hours she totally entertained in the most high energy show, full of colour, glamour and grunge. Her aerial and acrobatic elements were sensational. If you like P!nk even justa little bit, do yourself a favour and get tickets ~ you will not be sorry.
On the scrapping front ~ no scrapping this week, just been plain too tired! Hoping to get a few projects completed over the weekend.

Cheers........................Leanne

June Scrap the Boys

The June challenge at Scrap the boys is up:

June Challenge

Boys and their Toys!!
Our boys (young and old) love their toys don't they? So this month it is time to get those obsessions or the "flavour of the month" down on a page. Not to many criteria this month obviously the photo needs to be about the boys and the their toys ( but if you don't have one or time to take one you could journal about it instead)...and the other criteria is a colour one...
Red, Black and One other colour!
And my interpretation of the challenge:

Cheers........................Leanne
