MORE YUMMINESS FROM ECHUCA









I could not find a scrapbooking shop open, but look what I found - an absolute delight to the eyes was this shop Heathers Quilting Emporium! The Plum Puds were enormous and so effective in front of the vintage Christmas quilt!

SOME IMAGES FROM MY QUICK TRIP TO ECHUCA THIS WEEKEND

my scrap day today

Hi everyone
It is a lovely sunny Sunday here and I intend to scrap the morning away and then set off outside and take some photos while Mr Mojo is with me !!
I have been waiting to scrap a photo of Ella that I snuck while she was asleep (in her school uniform) the night before school resumed this year.She went to bed in her pjs and then when I went in to check on her prior to going to bed, she was dressed in her school uniform!
So I will share the layout later with you lovely readers..
until then I am signing off and going and indulging in some scrap therapy!!
Have a great Sunday and remember to hug your loved ones extra tight today
Hugs
marelle

BAD BLOGGER ME!!

Oh how remiss of me not blogging since 28 February!I have not been idle dear readers!
Life as I know it seems to just be whizzing by - I really want to stop and to coin an old cliche "smell the roses" - but at present there seems to be little time!!
I have been busy sourcing product for my new business, making Birthday children happy,volunteering at the Guide hall serving Devonshire Teas and selling raffle tickets at the recent Bellarine Agricultural Show...I have only managed 2 layouts in the past 2 weeks!

Mia and Ella are off on a Guide Camp the weekend that Term One finishes - they are camping at Creswick outside Ballarat, and are really excited as this is their very first camp!

I have also been editing an EBook for my lovely Sister Dee which has been taking up most nights but has been fun! I will let you all know more about this when it is about to be launched!

My God Daughter Morgan turned 16 and we had a lovely family gathering for her Birthday. I love this picture of my stepson Greg and his partner Dianne!
They have been seeing each other for a couple of months now, and Dianne is such a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart.



I am really happy for Greg as they are truly gorgeous together and are off to Europe in August for 6 weeks - I am one very happy and proud Stepmum..

400th Blog Madonna and Child Reliquary Giveaway




In celebration of my 400th blog posting I have created this Madonna and Child Reliquary for a Giveaway.


I have posted 399 blogs over the past three years...who knew I would have that much to share, I certainly didn't. It's been a rewarding experience in so many ways, the new friendships that I have made along the way are the most cherished and the discipline to strive to improve my skills as a photographer, story teller and artist has been priceless.
Here's what you need to do to be entered in the Giveaway...


1. Become a follower of my blog.
2. Post a link on your blog, feel free to use any of the images.
3. Leave a comment.


This giveaway will be open until the first day of Spring, March 21st. A name will be drawn randomly and a winner will be announced to celebrate the new Season.
