Well, I bet you wondered where I went.... My son and his family came out from New Zealand and moved in with us, YEAH!!!! Needless to say we've been flat out finishing the house, showing them parts of our town and tending to many many visitors :) We've had tons of bar-b-q's at each other homes and have got to know Tia and the kids really well... I must say that my son has brought home a beautiful young lady who fits onto our lives wonderfully. I'm truly going to miss them all when we finally go on our trip around Australia, which is about to start... today we're putting the last of our goodies into the bus!!!
While we've been getting to know our newest part of the family my computer did a no-no and the hard drive with all my programs on died :( taking with it all my graphic proggies I use to make my kits and tags and I dare not ask my poor hubby to fix for me as he's been so busy with so many other chores, this will be sorted out on the first leg of our journey *grin* and I shall be back in action making you all goodies as well as uploading photos of the trip :) I hope you'll enjoying seeing them. Well, that's it for now as I must get on with my last load of washing before packing the last of my clothes...
Oh I thought you might like to see most of my family, they threw us a 'going away' bar-b-q.. here they are,

WOOOHOOO! we now have a small awning on the bus... mind you, I found myself rather short to help out without being on a step!!! I think it will do nicely don't you?

Halloween

Its just around the corner so its time to get a halloween kit together and seeing as my friend, Flitters, made some posers I thought I would use one of hers.. to see the rest of the goodies she has made just go to her site and say hello, don't forget to thank her for all the good work she does for us :) Her site is here at Coppermoon
Now for the kit, its tagger sized and for personal use only... I hope you like it :)

You can get it  Here

It would be nice to hear from you if you have the time :)

Scrap for Charity

Hi there... I have a taggers sized scrap kit for charity all proceeds go to Autism Spectrum Australia (Aspect) its a huge kit, nice and bright, one for the kids! and you can find it here at  Karen's Scraps and Graphics.
Karen is deeply involved with this charity and I wanted to help out and I will be adding to the charity kit section on my travels around Australia so if this one is not for you, keep checking back :) Here is the preview

The Bus

We're getting really excited now, the bus is looking more and more finnished and ready to go! We now have solar up on the roof also a folding solar panel for when we stay anywhere for any length of time.. give us plenty of power to fire up the laptops, tv or anything we fancy doing... altho I can see me trudging about the bush camera in hand for hours on end.. at least I'll be able to upload them to my hard drive when I want to :) I can also get stuck into scrapkits ready to upload here on my blog for you guys... how exciting eh :) Anyway here is an update on the photos for you to look at *grin*
As you can see we've added shelves, theres nothing like having extra space to put things :)

Here's a view as you come in

I've also put that non slip stuff everywhere!!! I really did not think I'd need as much of it but the more I get the more I find places for it to go!!!!! Hubby covered the stove top because we will be doing most of the cooking outside and the coffee maker has to go somewhere!!! I know..... I know.... a coffee maker???!!!???

Well thanyou ladies for your wonderful tags... all these tags have been made with my kits found here... Paula, the pink halloween is about 4 or 5 pages back I did that one for Halloween last year :) have fun with it !! :)
