This photo might give you some idea about our weekend - Bombay Blue Gin, lots of lollies & fruit to keep the healthy eating half of our weekend happy.....I did eat at least one piece of fruit over the weekend on the strict instructions of Miss Kris!!!</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260849581915022962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 322px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghTOXsBxdO9mxC4CMa3BMOmlszCQNrDVHAqY0rAAIrmqJJ2idUBPWlAcxrlN7Aoc8zP_QtMe5IuQ8FrMVU-f7fMFE2glLVLzAxWpnhgFO0KYuVCBWSiQ6WBp8L7orhCSxTRxT6XljWd4Te/s320/IMG_9516.JPG" border="0" /><br />I hope we didn't scare the locals too much with trying to get some "interesting" photos taken down at the beach (well we are Scrapbookers!!) - Margo found this log and thought we should try to act like cowgirls on a bucking broncho!!!!...not sure if that is how the people walking that day saw it or not!!!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260852311083536210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTiIaMRDfhnwv0JGwkBUZQul4h-HoR8m-L2uhmJSaKaIWvdWsbUvEfnCHFuuBW0Lo0_CVjKMVr8TchBlzYvM0OXz-INyVI4x1AFbuSR8MC4VmqmMgEa7GV5zQj7Akt1k4VQV1uK3mXycAx/s320/IMG_9563.JPG" border="0" /></div><div>Then the school holidays turned up and it was 5 days up at Ohope Beach at our BIL's holiday home with a couple of other families for some sun and fishing....well the sun was a bit on the thin side but the 6 kids we had with us had a great time any way - give a kid a beach in any weather and they are happy. Bruce and the other guys got some fishing in, and I celebrated my 40- something birthday (now its closer to 50 than 40 I am being vague on the last digit!!) up there and enjoyed a change of scene with my girlfriends doing some relaxing, reading and shopping. </div></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div>Got to play with my new toy - Canon EOS 400D while away and loved how I could take this photo out of our car window when my hubby was trucking along at 100k plus....and get a decent photo - love this camera - enjoying learning how to drive it.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260847451452104562" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPARP54m4NyMkYpFHmOHm4-Jfjb4Huiepp-WM1v1PRi5vPQupGd6U_al31ruF3DuIEL5Nwet4nJOJx1PlFliQrd2TMeCjw6Qn_fLC0cFaNILB6yxQBgAjlSWerZV2mb7gwk9BJd8q1FKBS/s320/IMG_0154.jpg" border="0" /></div><div> </div><div>I was also thinking when looking at this photo how incredibly luck I am to live in a country where we can ski on this mountain 2 hrs from my home and then we can drive another 3 hours and be at the beach in shorts & t-shirts...I guess that's one of the reasons they call New Zealand Gods Own country!!<br /><br /></div><div>I only had one weekend at home and then it was a long planned Girls weekend away in Wellington to celebrate Kelly R's 40th birthday which included a quick trip to SENZ to shop and do a class. We had a ball staying at an apartment right in the CBD which meant we had the shops and restaurants at our fingertips and boy did we give them a workout....the car was so full at our last stop we wondered if we'd get the last parcel in the car without everything else falling out.

My excuse (because I feel like I need one) is that work and life have been busy and I had a pretty nasty fall in the shower a few weeks back which knocked out a whole week somewhere in there.<br /><div><div><br /><div><div><div><div><div>Have to say my family definitely get this record the moments bit because I heard my hubby saying as the ambulance officers were carrying me out to the ambulance that Jo would probably want this photographed - do you think I should get her camera!!! Well he was partly right, certainly the 1st stage which was me sprawled naked in bottom of said shower would not have been welcome....but the ambulance bit would have been okay.....</div><div> </div><div>Any way I can look back now and laugh...its wasn't so funny at the time as I thought I had broken my leg. </div><br /><div></div><div>I was forced to stay home for a week but was unable to use any of this time for scrapbooking purposes as I had a nasty trauma to my hamstring & just below my bottom - which meant I couldn't sit for the week I had at home, had to lie propped up on one arm....this meant I couldn't scrap.....darn it all.... Anyway long excuse over, I am just about right and have a new respect for those non-slip rubber mats you are meant to have in the bottom of the shower!</div><br /><div></div><div>So onto some scrapbooking news......thought I had better post a few layouts as a catch up...</div><br /><div></div><div>Sneak pics of layouts that I had posted in July are now well and truly up at Lime Tart so here they are:</div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5240430915758915122" style="DISPLAY: block;

So if you fancy a great day out scrapbooking then keep an eye on my blog. <br /><br />We will be running this on <strong>Saturday 21st June</strong> at the school starting at 1pm - still working on the pricing but it will be great value and will include an afternoon tea, dinner and supper and a fabulous goodie bag plus a class that I will run. <br /><br />We are wanting to encourage new and young scrapbookers to start out with this great hobby so will also be running some beginners childrens and adults classes (classes will be run from a separate classroom) so the hall will be free for general scrapping. So if you have always wanted to get into scrapping this is your chance....also great opportunity to come and scrap with your daughter if you want a mother and daughter day out (we plan to have all the classes finish earlier in the day - so the children can finish up and head home so the Mums can scrap on with the other adults if they wish).<br /><br />Kelly is working with a whole lot of fantastic companies and local stores who will be assisting with the day in general and the goodies bags in particular - full details to be revealed very soon. <br /><br />Space is limited so if you want to secure yourself a spot you might like to email or phone me (we are in the phone book) to make sure you don't miss out.<br /><br />Lots more info will be posted here VERY SOON - watch this space!!!!Jo Burneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02722844766080226460noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360119743305345301.post-21251271263367610952008-05-14T03:16:00.000-07:002008-05-14T03:28:24.084-07:00Lime Tart May Gallery now upLots of fantastic eye candy at the Lime Tart Gallery.....the designers have out done themselves this month.<br /><div><div><div> </div><div>It was my turn to do the step by step project this month and I designed a little Memory Box to store the little love notes that Taylor has given me ever since he was able to write. </div><div> </div><div>The Lime Tart Zest Blog will have instructions for this project up shortly (image below)</div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200176111660610194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKD82GQJKubhWJucrO7sbAewDPEFl-u_hDoeJ6qI6FINbNxY7TmiydYWUnzZFjx1jkXgk57x3pIyAlsKK04E-DgVcnABKN76goZUw0mNWffHnhUWjcFGmmMc66nFebELFczUUMZfnXq-ZJ/s320/DSCF5634.JPG" border="0" />Loved playing with the new <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Sassfrass</span> papers in the May half tart kit....wonderful bright funky colours .....right up my alley.....here are a couple of my layouts......go over to the Gallery to see the rest of the bits and pieces I designed.....amazing how far these kits go.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200176253394530978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbB9SVpHqqbxK-e5hczzb7I1e61-RnHNFRS7xmSrib4PTLz5luT__hu5dXvYazAU6xFtlZqAq8OSgX4GgznU8uBhzrSsG81uiZ_zgD7A8ucanFSPCzQeUPSCgAe73veYwBGbl9WEzLJI_f/s320/DSCF5602.JPG" border="0" /></div><div> </div><div>Loved the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">girly</span> pink paper and the lovely flowers in this kit.....so another layout of my niece Sophie - "Our Princess"</div><div> </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5200176373653615282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyAzJPpyGmTuwEMoffJlsJpclsOWFp5Jm2OTF-4FUplBBmydQjFLZ09hpV2kTVbwybRC0QOXiX0Ty98Lg3pcMhIjl-GOTR_ddPjpFAAkBwxxWlbFu6tlwcFdnvOerNlKG0Rt-1i0p-bcON/s320/DSCF5564.JPG" border="0" /></div><div>Layout above is my hubby Bruce at age 6....very few photos of him as a child so they are very precious....the photo was very aged and yellow and this seemed to go wonderfully with the yellow and oranges in the papers....... </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div></div></div>Jo Burneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02722844766080226460noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360119743305345301.post-79854786006194794362008-05-10T03:50:00.000-07:002008-05-10T03:55:46.168-07:00Blog candy to be won - Lime Tart Zest blog is having its first BirthdayTo celebrate their first birthday the Zest blog is having a celebration.<br /><br />First old kits are on special....so rush on over and grab yourself a bargain.<br /><br />And they are also having a blog challenge and will be giving away some blog candy!!! <br /><br />So if you want to win a June A la <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Tarte</span> kit they want you to:<br /><br />1.

Had a great time catching up with many of the regulars that attend this annual camp at Forest Lakes and met some lovely new faces....including a couple of scrappers from Palmy North (waving to Yvette and Adele). So nice to find some more local scrapper to play with - I hope to scrap with these lovely ladies again at our local monthly scrap night.<br /><br /><div><div><div><div>So I had plenty of time to play with all the gorgeous goodies that the half kit contained this month. Here are some sneaky pics for you.....full images will be up in the Lime Tart gallery on the 14th and I'll come back and post some here also. <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5198696009789324802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjv_xFN07wg3PijSJCpX0bZrOjoTiqDSH5CL617Fm9iH_KDLEGipT8jadWAbUysJ8okfHbxGw5N1KPkVsTMZV1LvYreCBsa3-mtyKlVL-fAMh5ZhDQaFNHYxtMkU-mIVSEEUXkTPLieAeY/s320/DSCF5567.JPG" border="0" /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5198696383451479570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtffa7Tu_jSjX_IamxdEbDtH7W8n_5VcZHgpRKAzrg8m6M95tRLFBMX4lcv8WM2uQUkpE6l4CRDFCNB8L5tl2eepaPUJtRQuwB1cOKhfYm6-kKohw8xmfunVh_Fw-kha50G4hZXnsk5Dmp/s320/DSCF5569.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5198697397063761458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5JLCK5hWQGR9Q14xsTT0gq5kVLjZhrRXHIgrzp7DhyIBgPPs1WK6eOYMSpdMQ_QivNUoOYaMfD6zLYuC1_P0mUrRVIddrA0sz0ImhQ61px7OjCLYo_HUDxoooT-0rIP3W2k7_ZkmtcmRC/s320/DSCF5584.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5198696877372718626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0XXYz6muvmljYejFrzGR5JLwoipeCPGPek-JXZODwd11e3rp4C5kA0qLf67B937AT0wCwIXJY8fkP75E9jJ9VUSPZGnELYztmOdsWmnLYGQ7BFfuU0bsObpThq-8FoXU8Logyc8TI5DJ7/s320/DSCF5578.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5198698475100552770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKJspijsDzuE_E8OVfnZfebMjBb5oL6lB1KrMwXvu2PR74_IEutIp8_SwnpqmfPq5VsqFFZBfv5oys4K3gsEZoLm5fr_Ek0kaNuTXYGMkTdQhERts25kjOUUfRhrZtzhRNyZnTiSRdaFU3/s320/DSCF5600.JPG" border="0" />I also got to do the step by step project for the Lime Tart blog this month.

So often we scrap about our kids, our pets, special events etc - but how often do you scrap about ourselves?? Things that the kids you are scrapping about will love to know about you - now and in the future. There is lots of inspiration from the Ambassadors as well.

This will be a very special keepsake to remind them of their experiences at camp in the years to come.<br /><br />A sample of the pages I created for this very special camp are below....these and the other pages I created are now on their way to Trina who has co-ordinated the NZ scrapbookers helping out with this project. Good on you Trina....a wonderful thing to do for some less fortunate children...I was very pleased to be able to do my small bit to help out.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5172942589518719282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnd9kJwhaparFFOR43YTh-ZJa8a-GD0nbRIeS457F-ddWfOUCDVvAnEAuFO8kZFAuEOu3OtWIqL0aAKttxD72Tpwid1yI4wg_vI43Rs-M76pKJe7vipEI-KJNIo77A_a1-IKyYcrIXwWno/s320/DSCF5319.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Jo Burneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02722844766080226460noreply@blogger.com0
