Yes, I am still around!

I have been so slack of late with posts and keeping everyone up to date! As of Monday I will be in my 6th week of teaching, so that makes 5 weeks to go until the end of internship. I have no time to scrap because everything is so time consuming at the moment-with prac and two massive uni assignments...but there is light at the end of the tunnel!

I am so lucky that I picked such a fantastic school, with awesome staff and I am loving the all boys class!! There certainly is never a dull moment!!

I have also added some much awaited before and after pic's of the house...and there will be many more to come! I promise to keep you updated more regularly!

Mischa Comes 'Home'

Today I picked Mishy up from Nan's. It is just us home today and so far she has been a good girl...well actually she is running around the house crazy, chasing a pigs ear and not knowing what to terrorise first lol! Her mum Charlie was really good, although I still feel sad for her because Mishy was her only puppy...Wonder how tonight will go?? Will keep you updated!!

INSPIRED BY PETA!!

She is amazing! So, I scraplifted her! I just love these pages!! It took so much stress out of the 'thinking' and instead I could just create and know I would be happy with the end product-thanks chickie! xx

Green Thumbs-I love this photo of Jada and Ari in the garden-so cute!! Most of this page was created using a kit from scrapbooking from scratch.

Together Forever-Using one of the pics Brad and I had professionally done.

Yours or Mine? This is a funny photo of mum and I from christmas...as you can see, there is no guessing what the competition was about...poor mum, she hates the look on her face-I'll leave it to your imagination as to what she said it looks like she was doing lol!

SCRAPBOOKING FROM SCRATCH KITS

I bought a number of these kits on the weekend and was able to create so many pages from them! If you would like to see what is available, click on 'Peta' in my favourite blogs list.

Fishing-This page idea was provided in the kit as inspiration.

Giggles-Mum and Georga at Christmas, again this page idea was provided as inspiration in the kit.

Daintree Flood-I used the scraps from one of the kits to create this page. These photos are of the causeway Brad and I couldn't cross in our 'go anywhere getz' hire-care.

The Girls-I love this photo! It is of me when I was little, with mum and my aunty's. The layout design was included in the kit as inspiration.

Bath Time- Finny when he was little xx

I had an awesome weekend. Thankyou Kate and Peta for all the effort and organisation that went into the weekend and of course Mrs. Stuart who is just THE BEST COOK!!! xxx

Hakuna Matata

Miss Mischa- My First page using BONS March Kit....I just love it, love the colours, love the photo!!

I am also SO SO excited because it is only one more sleep now until Kate's Retreat to Main Creek! I plan on packing today and hope to arrive there at lunch-time tomorrow. Hopefully I will have a stack of layouts to share on Monday!

On the house front, there is still no news re: a settlement date...Our solicitor is checking everything out very thoroughly, so I suppose if she didn't then she wouldn't be earning her money lol. Hopefully we will know something by the end of the week...

And lastly, I have been allocated my internship school: Grahamstown Public School. I have heard that it is a fantastic little school and I really hope it is. I will be there for a whole term and have an all boys, stage 2 class.

I think thats all for now,

Tash xx
