Hello August!
Scrapping - hmm, well, I haven't done a lot in the past week or so, but I've included my favourite recent LO, done for the "Freestyle" them in the latest Newsletter for The Scrap Heap! It's been 8 months since I joined the Inspiration Team, and I am still pinching myself - I can't believe I get to be part of that amazing newsletter every month! I finally bought a sewing machine on Thursday night, so I can be just like Belinda! :D I haven't had time to use it yet (I'm always a slow starter LOL) but I think I'll give it a crack this afternoon. I always love seeing stitching on LOs, it just adds so much gorgeous texture - and now I can do it too. Yay!! I'm hoping to get all of the Daily Challenges done this month too - as I have failed quite miserably in both June & July!
Have I mentioned that I hate August! I don't know why, I can't explain it. I hate the month, I hate the way it sounds, I hate that it's the 8th month (now I know that is completely irrational LOL) ... so I am counting down the days till September arrives.
I'm finally getting a few hours to relax & recover from Shopping Spree 2006 ... the annual "let's buy furniture with Matthew's tax return" expedition. I had forgotten how exhausting it can be LOL ... two days of non-stop shopping, two hot baths later, and I'm feeling vaguely human. Now I just have to twiddle my thumbs and wait for it to arrive!
We had one of those really lucky shopping days, you know the ones - where you find everything you want, and get a lot of bargains. We even got undercharged for brekky on Friday - woohoo! I can't wait till everything arrives, and our family room will finally be complete. It's going to be a strange feeling!
On a sad note - my cacti are all dying!! I need Mum to come and visit again to see what's wrong with them. :( I thought cacti were unkillable - apparently not. I definiely cannot be trusted with plants, although my other plants SEEM to be alive thus far.
Well, the housework is calling me *sigh* ... but someone's gotta do it!
Oh yeah, and I just wanted to say a big THANKS to everyone who visits me & leaves a comment on my blog - it makes my day! :)

I thought you couldn't kill cactus either but my "kitchen" sink cactus is looking pretty sick. Fingers cross that they recover.
Love that LO by the way.
dont worry Jody, your not the only one with dying cactus, (not me, i just dont buy plants cause i kill them, lol) someone in our office has one and he killed it with in about 2-3wks...
I envy you with your 2 day shopping spree.. how lucky are you??!!!
i would LOVE to see some before & after photos when your new furniture arrives.... ;o)
August isn't that bad for me here.. Taylor will be 9 in 6 days & then Brendan is 32 6 days after. I love September too though. Jordan's b'day, my b'day & our wedding anniv.
