we remember

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Lest we forget.

bling out your blog

I've just signed up for this course --- so you can expect to see some changes around here pretty soon! I feel the need to re-decorate....

This pic was taken on the banks of the Murray River last year, shame Gage still runs from the camera!

Skull album

I made this little album for Jacks' fishing photos, and he just LOVES it! I used the Kaiser skull album, and painted and inked the cover. The ribbons are all from my stash, plus string from the kitchen. I used 2 star charms and a badge from a Pirates of the Caribbean promo pack to finish off.
The inner pages have Kaiser papers and items from my stash (most of which are so old I cant remember who made them)

BUNNY!

Katie just came running into the room to show me her chocolate bunny. She had him hugged to her chest, both arms wrapped around him while she hugged him lovingly and bit big chunks from his ears.





Is there anything in the world as yummy as a bunny?

OTHERLAND

OMGosh I'm SO EXCITED! I just read that Tad Williams' Otherland books are being made into an MMO (which is a multi-player on-line game)
If you're not familiar with the books, there are 4 in the series. The story is set slightly in the future, and is about a group of wealthy and powerful people who want to live forever, and have developed a system which enables them to do that in VR (virtual reality) worlds. There are also some ordinary folks who through various means, become trapped in those worlds and are unable to go off-line.
I've read these books to death -- literally, the first one (City of Golden Shadow) is now in 2 pieces. If you want to find out more about the books, go to Tad's page here

Widgets Cogs and Sprockets

So I had a dream last night, and was making these in my sleep. Got up and opened Photoshop first thing this morning, and have been making these now till my butt is sore. Do you think I have a problem?

another baby LO!

This is a template from TaylorMade Designs, called Timeless -- and I can't remember the font (came with Vista anyway) Nothing else added. How awesome is the template???

Levi and Isaac

My gorgeous grandson Levi, meeting his new baby brother Isaac -- who is equally gorgeous!



Ive used a template by Carena
the white epoxy alpha by Micheline Martin
and the Essence of Blue kit by Lindsay Jane Designs @ Scrapbook-Bytes.

ISAAC!

My gorgeous grandson, Isaac Peter, was born this morning, at 4:50 am, weighing 8 lbs 15 oz.

Feast your eyes on baby-candy!
