R.I.P. - Marilyn Pansini

Please keep my aunt (my mum's older sister) in your prayers. My aunt passed away last night in Nambour Hospital - aged 62.
She was a lung and bowel cancer sufferer, but complications after her surgery last week, unfortunately, forced family members to make the decision to turn off her life support machine last night.
She is the first of my mum's family to pass away out of her 10 living members (mum's eldest brother died when he was 8 years old from a sandcastle cave in - many many years before many of my mum's sibling were born - my mum is the 7th child of the 11 born to my grandparents)

Congratulations to Helen Ross

Sunday, March 29, 2009 - Another three!!

Good morning stampers! I am very happy to be bringing you another 3 entries today! Yay! At this rate we may even beat the entry record (31)! Here are entries 19, 20, and 21.

First we have this great find-a-word card by Chloe Nielsen: Chloe used her alphabet stamps to create the find-a-word background! She has used Heidi Grace papers, vellum, Kaisercraft rhinestones and Sparkle Mod Podge for extra bling!

Next we have this robot-tastic birthday card by Suzanne McQuade:
Suzanne used her alphabet stamps to write the sentiment of the front of her card. She has also used bazzill cardstock, Darkroom Door robot collection Photochip, and felt and scraps to complete her card.

And last but not least we have this great masculine birthday card card from Helen Ross: Helen used her alphabet stamps to create the background of her card. She has also stamped the "Happy Birthday Mate" stamp and embossed it with gold embossing powder.

Great work ladies!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone, and don't forget to get inky! :)

Cleaning Poem

I asked the Lord to tell me

Why my house is such a mess.

He asked if I'd been 'computering',

And I had to answer 'yes'.

He told me to get off my backside

And tidy up the house

And so I started cleaning up...

The smudges off my mouse.

I wiped and shined the topside.

That really did the trick....

I was just admiring my work..
I didn't mean to 'click.'

But click, I did, and oops I found

A real absorbing site.

That I got SO way into.

I was into it all night - SIGH

Nothing's changed except my mouse

It's very, very shiny.

I guess my house will stay a mess...

While I sit here on my hiney.

Thank you for being my blog buddy and friend!

Titled: Sweetheart.
Sweetheart you are as beautiful today as you were yesterday and will be even more beautiful tomorrow.

A layout

This afternoon I completed a layout with a pre-prepared background paper.  I spent 7 minutes from start to finish cutting out the flower, and rest of the time poking holes for the brads.

The layout is of my mother's parents and some of her siblings at "The Pines" in Hervey Bay, where my family camped for 30+ years until the council closed it.
