A little bit of foreplay goes a long way!!!!!!

Thank you Thank you Thank you RUEY!!!!... You are the best.. Helping me out with my f-play stuff.....LOL.... And IM not being rude... For once!!!!...LOL...


So anyway here is my f-play layout.... I decided just to stuck, place, cut, doodle anywhere and see what happened... Not my best layout... infact I really hate it... But it got my juices flowing....lol.... So be honest and tell me what you think!!!!



Told ya I went a bit over board....LOL...

But then.... There is more.... lol...
After finishing off.."Love my beautiful girl" I sat there looking at this layout thinking oh my god what have I done.. im never scrapping again.... Until this one popped in my head... It took me about hour to get it down on some cardstock and guess what... I LOVE it..... And all I have to say now is................. I'M BACK BABY!!!!....



Have a great Thursday everyone... What ever you are doing!!!!!

Tagged.. By the lovely Karen!!!!!

List 5 weird things about yourself or your pets. Tag 5 friends and list them. Then, those people need to write on their blogs about 5 weird things, and state the rules, and tag 5 more people. Don't forget to let the people you tag know by posting a comment on their blog!

First I Tag ANYONE who wants to do this tag or even just to update your blog.... Have fun!!!!

1. Socks!!!.. Cant stand them.. Hate to wear them.. Hate to wash them.... Hate to fold them up...
( the socks are always left in a basket and DH just pairs them up as he needs them..LOL) and most of all.... I HATE LOOKING AT THEM AND TOUCHING THEM.... I have had this weird thing about my whole life... And im not sure Y......

2. I have toilet issues... What you are thinking... I also use the same toilet in that venue everytime I visit back... eg shopping centres.... once I pick a toilet in a place that's the one I will use forever!!!...

3. I have to have a glass of Coke Zero every morning.. or I am a CRAZY person so don't come near me!!!!.....LOL....

4. I love fish and chips drowned and I mean DROWNED in tomato sauce and vinegar... God just typing that makes my mouth water.......And I also yes all true.. Love eating cold CHIPS and cold PIZZA... It always tastes better the next day!!! After its been in the fridge over night.. Gross hay

5. I hate touching raw meat... YUCK... It really turns me off what im about to eat.. Pretty silly when my DH is a butcher!!!... But I am slowly getting over this one... Very slowly......

To be honest when I first saw this tag.. I couldn't think of ONE thing that was weird about me.... Then I remembered the sock thing and the rest just came pouring in.... I could off added heaps more... But I would still like some friends after posting this...LOL...

Please still be my friend.........LOL

Take care

Will post some cool pics I took of Jorja on Monday.. They are unreal.. Still adding my little touches to them..LOL

Can't SCRAP!!!

What is wrong with me! I cant seem to scrap at all.. I think I've lost my scrapping mojo forever!!!!... And also do you ever look back at some of your layouts and just want to THROW them all in the BIN!!.. Well that's how im feeling now.. But about every layout I have ever done!!...
I hate them all.. They make me cringe.. YUCK.....

I really don't feel like blogging either... So I will leave you with a mini album I finished last Friday about Australia Zoo.. I have had the pictures printed and the album for ages... So I decided to get it done!!!!...... And a couple of pics of my little kiddies.. Keenan's school had a footy day where the kids played the teachers!!!.. It was a pretty good afternoon.... Didn't take any photos at all of the game.. Just a couple of the kids all dressed up in their footy gear.....

So that's it for me.....

Take care all.... And keep scrapping!!!!

Update....

Hello fellow bloggers.. Just popping in to share some layouts (finally!) and some more photos... Yes I'm sorry more photos.... LOL....

here goes.....











These layout I done... It seem like ages ago.. But too busy playing around with my camera to share...

Well on Saturday night Mark and I went out... YES we did.. LOL Friends of ours took us to see Rodney Rude!!... And to be honest I was a little disappointed in his show.. Pretty much everything we have all heard a thousand times, with a few new gags thrown in. But it was still very funny and also very RUDE!!!.. I felt a little naughty being there.... LOL just joking... We all need a little rude sometimes!!!!

Sunday fathers day.... Mark and Keenan both slept in until after 9, while Jorja and I got up about 6am.. ( All Jorja's fault..LOL..) When Keenan finally woke up he run in with big fathers day hugs for dad and a arm full of gifts.. Including items Keenan brought from the fathers day stall at school. A man on a motorbike statue, a tiger sticker for his car, two yes TWO, soap bars in the shape of beer bottles... As Keenan said "one for the shower and one to wash your hand with after going to the toilet" a Carlton cold key ring and the best pressie of all.. A nut on a piece of wood with " I'm a west coast eagles nut" on it... LOL... We are a TIGER family and when asked by dad why? Keenan said.. " Because Dad, West coast eagles are playing really good..." How can you disagree with that.. LOL...






Couple of raw, unedited pics from Sunday morning....

On Monday Jorja and I went over to my brothers house to catch up with dad for fathers day and Kellie and my just beautiful little nephew and niece Blake and Jordyn. God Blake is a funny little man.. I just love him to death. He reminds me of Keenan so much in so many different ways, but he also reminds me of my brother too. He is so full of energy its not funny!!. My little Jordyn.. What a little budda..LOL.. I just love her chubba cheeks.. And She is totally fascinated with Jorja!!!

So of course I took some photos...LOL......



Jorja with my Dad....


Sweet Jordyn......


What a spunk!!!!.. Check out his little face.. So cute. My buddy Blake..


Blake and I where playing chasey around the big lemon tree when I snapped this pic.. I love it.. My fave of the day!!!!
