Award excitment

Last night I received an email from Scrapbook Awards to tell me that my page I submitted last month had been chosen by the judges for first prize, and that's not even the most exciting part! As a category winner I'm now in the running for the title of International Scrapbook'er of the year! Fat chance, and no show of me ever winning that, but what a buzz just to get in! And by all accounts I've won a prize, no idea what, I never expected to win any category, so Ive never studied the 'prize' part.

For some reason blogger is playing up and will not let me add any photos, which is a little annoying as I photographed my walk today  and did intend sharing them...maybe tomorrow blogger might be sorted.

All go this morning with the uploading of photos, so now I can show you my page...

Wow! I just found out that I have won a Fuijifilm Finepix 12 megapixel digital camera
How cool is that!
Dear daughter has reminded me also that she needs a new camera, so its not looking as though I'm going to end up with this prize.

Now I know many of you are wonderful scrapbookers so why not pop a page in the latest comp running at the moment, if I can win something then you will have no trouble at all claiming a prize!
You can find Scrapbook Awards HERE

Sunshine and smiles

Wow, I was very surprised to receive an email telling me that my LO submitted to The Scrapbook Awards had made the 50 vote mark, what a buzz , I did think I'd be lucky to get any votes at all.

Well, the sun is shinning brightly here today, work is finished for the day, and our Mechanics crew have had their day at the garage. This term we have 22 children in our 'Mechanics club', a very big crew indeed. Several of the children are working on Go-carts, three are working on a motor bike, another couple are working on a tractor and the rest all have Steam-Punk projects on the go. Steam Punk is new to our group and a little out of hubby's comfort zone, but I think we are all going to learn heaps, and have alot of fun in the process.

Now, I'm off to clean out the spouting along one side of the house and to mow our ever growing lawns.

Crafting is sadly on hold for the rest of the day, sometimes you just have to do stuff you wish you could forget about I guess.
