Mini Album

I had a great weekend!! I spent my Saturday at a crop with Trish Clark, who is the new owner of Scrapanalia, that went from 1pm to 11pm, and spent Sunday having breakfast at Maccas with my family, did some shopping with them and got a real bargain for a car booster seat for DD on Sunday.... how not to be happy? :) :) :)

I spent the entire day at the crop doing this album for my girlfriend, Gladys. I've known Gladys since we were 7.... a 30-year friendship. Hard to come by, don't you think? Her birthday was over a week ago but I only started working on this album last Saturday. It is sort of a birthday-cum -30th-anniversary friendship album. Gladys lives in Singapore, so this album is going to leave Australia tomorrow to catch a plane to get to her. Here are the pages...

(oh and before you laugh.... this is my 2nd ever mini album I've altered ..... )

This is a Maya Road round coaster album. Notice on the 6th photo, there is an additional circle made of transparency with some Creative Imaginations rubons. That goes between the 2 pages. I added that because I was afraid that the metal butterflies I used, which have their wings bent upwards for more effect, will damage the photo on the other page. Good thinking huh?? hehehe....

~~~~~~~~~~

Sunday breakfast at McDonald's is kinda our ritual now. If it isn't yet, I will make it one!! LOL... For one, I LOVE their breakfast - Egg McMuffin, Hash Brown, OJ. MMMmmmmm..... And we go to a Macca's that has a McCafe, so we can have those fancy coffees/teas, fancy lounge seats, shoo the kids to the playground after their breakfast, and I can read my scrapbooking magazines... IN PEACE. Isn't that the best way to spend a Sunday morning????!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~

The car booster seat we got is a Safe & Sound one, called Nova. Normally priced at $69.99, it was marked down to $39.99 at Target!! And I happened to have won a $25 voucher from the kinder's Mother's Day Raffle. So we really only paid $15 for the seat!

~~~~~~~~~~

Sadly, I've got the cold and cough after that weekend .... 2nd time this year. Bugger! The cough is seriously hurting me. It hurts when I take a deep breath to cough. Man! I hate coughs!

~~~~~~~~~~

We have made a couple of appointments this week to tour some primary schools. I hope I don't this lousy when I'm walking around the schools tomorrow and Thursday, and passing the yucky germs around.

That's all for now. Toodles!
