Just Breathe

I dont know about you but it is that crazy time of the year.. People seem to be getting impatient and rude and Im finding them sad to deal with.. Yes I work in retail but it doesnt give people the right to be absolutely rude and toxic to staff.  Most of my customers are great.. I love them.. but geez.. you do sadly get the odd rude ones who you would like to just kick to the curb... but instead.. I breathe in and breathe out and smile... so please.. just remember.. most people in retail At the Moment are doing a great job and it is a very busy time for everyone.. so please... just make sure you smile and be nice.. just like you would like to be treated.. it is really easy and takes no energy to do so.

I have just been away at my Daughters place in Far north Qld. It was a great little week away for both of us to be together and catch up on our special time.  
I have just 4 weeks left of my work and I am off for approx 6 weeks due to shoulder surgery.  I will not be able to do much.. but will be hopefully in less pain in months to come.  I am going in just 7 days before Christmas Day but as we are having our annual 2 weeks off at the beach here at Cotton Tree just 10km from our home.. I thought I would have the surgery while I am off on holidays anyway.  We just chill at the beach so it is perfect recovery time there.


In the above page I have used Becky Higgins Project Life Boys Rule Value Kit.  I love this kit.. There is not a lot of masculine kits out there that are still a bit fun and bright.. I bought this one as soon as I saw it.




You can find these kits @ Spotlight





Tex (Melissa Walden) and I had loads of fun this day (above) over @ Moffat Beach.  We spent 2 hours playing with our Canons.  It is the most fun way to learn your camera.  On the beach with a coffee and a great friend.. what more could you ask for.  We bounce of each other and give each other tips.. 


I had to capture my little friend Molly and her two most precious babies.. She loves and cares for these two.  They are very spoilt.  With my card I have used one of  Heidi Swapps cards and the chipboard stickers.  I love these.. The pink definitely is me all over.  And I have used a  cute little weekly stamp at the bottom of the card.


Spoilt lucky very blessed wifey.  I love this ring Ken bought me.. I have always loved the round settings in rings.. and this one is to die for.  Especially since it is silver.. I cant take it off.  Oh and I have used a gold overlay that was in the page protectors of Heidi Swapps.  These are great if you want your photo to dominate your pocket.


Big mix up of embellies and paper here.  This is what I love about creating PL.  Lots of goodies to play with and add.


Pretty much Heidi Heidi Heidi in the above card. The star is off a Simple Stories piece of paper.  I sat one day and punched them all out.  Great to add to a corner.



Not at all liking my hand writing but have to keep popping it in :-(





Below I have had a play with Heidi Swapps App.  Fun fun.. when you are sitting in the school pick up line lol


Love this girl Dee... a fun day out for just the two of us showing her around the Sunny Coast.



I have sort of lost my mojo since I have been back from my holiday.. I am only 4 weeks behind which is fantastic but I have to find some mojo.  I low its tucked away in there somewhere.. Last night I spent the evening in the air conditioning as it was a massive 38degrees yesterday printing out the previous 4 weeks.. So I will be able to sit down and just scrap. 
So til next time.. thank you for popping over and having a browse at my work.  
Lots of luv and hugs

Time out for me and my girl

Saturday I packed my bags and flew up to Townsville to stay with my girl and her new husband.  I have only seen her once this year and I cant stand not seeing her and spending time with her.. but life gets in the way.. commitments and just generally time!!! We all have our own lives to live but all of a sudden it has been months and months without seeing each other. Time just goes so fast.. and because she is 1400km north of me... it takes a little planning and time off work.
The weather is a lot warmer up here and the humidity is huge.  I am not used to it anymore.  Or should I say I dont like to deal with it anymore.. I struggle enough at home in the summer... You couldn't live up here without air conditioning.  
They had a 6mth anniversary party here Saturday night as they eloped.. so they got together their most closest friends and celebrated 6mths being married.. Kinda cute.  They had a mexican party.  Was great.. Not so great in the morning after many of them had ... lets say tooooo many Margaritas.
They got this coolest cake made.. then everyone was wearing the hat.. ate his toes one by one lol


I cant wait to share the photo shoot Danielle got after getting her hair and makeup done .. Below she has taken her hair out but it looked amazing in the photo shoot.


Weird ?? Yes indeed.. this is what Danielles Ariel Silk Rig come in.  She wanted us to lay it in for a bit of photo fun ... Okay.. so I did..
Kinda spooky me thinks lol



The girls were requested by everyone to do a performance for us all.. They were amazing..


Danielles back yard swing set... lol.  Her $3500 rig that she plays on every afternoon after school.. I mean work lol


Even the piƱata got to hang about for a while until he got bashed.

Today we took the rig to the beach and the girls set it up for a bit of a practice run out in the wind. It ply took about 10 min to set up but was a lot harder to do in the wind.  Danielle managed to give herself a terrible burn on the back of her armpit and under her arm.. It is terribly bruised and is very sore.  She has so many bruises on her arms and behind her knees from the hoop and silks.  But like anyone who is passionate about something.. she keeps on going.




I love the backdrop of these photos.

We plan to go to Magnetic Island this week for a bit of sun and sand.. sadly no surf here lol.. but we will have a great rest of the week together anyway.  I am having fun editing some pics while I am away from my scrapping room.  Always find something to create.. its in my blood.
Have a great week everyone.. Cant wait to share more with you.
Til then.. 

Love and hugs from Moonie x
