New Residents.............................

It has been 12 months since DS really started banging on about getting a pet lizard, and now we have not one but two!!!!
"Henry" and "Lawson" have come to live with us, so named after their scientific name of Pogona Henry Lawsoni.
Never thought I would find reptiles endearing but these little critters are huge time wasters and I spend almost as much time looking at and talking to them as I do the dogs ~ think I've gone a little bit balmy!!! Anyway here they are: 

DS thinks they are adorable and spends hours with them and we have the lizard Taj Mahal in the games room.

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

April Sketch Challenge...............................

over at Scrap Pile is my responsibility this month.
So the sketch:

and my layout using up some older stash:

The twist is to use a textile or haberdashery item on the layout.

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

Oooooooops........................................

what happened to the rest of February and March?????? Feels like i have just blinked and now it is April although it has been mighty busy at work with a VET audit pending. Only one more week and I will be on holidays ~ woohoo looking forward to that and I only have a few minor work tasks to complete.
Whilst I haven't been very creative on the scrapping front (mojo is awol at the moment) I have been playing around with a couple of bears. Think I am ready to start making them again ~ on my terms this time though, not to order and not to a schedule. Here are a couple of photos of the most recent creations:

Will be heading down to the Central Coast for a workshop that I have been booked into since the Xmas holidays. The workshops are organised by Sherry Mendoza of Your Creative Journey. The workshop is a mixed media canvas with international artist Nathalie Kalbach.
Not much else planned, maybe some shopping. Have promised DS we will go investigating lizard habitats ~ I've caved and said he can have a pet lizard. Need to apply for my reptile license (didn't see that one coming!!!) this week.

Anyhow, need to get off here and get the sketch challenge for Scrap Pile sorted.......................

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