a little bit of everything...

flick over at made my day when i was given this fabby 'fab' award. little did she know i'd been coveting it on other people's blogs!!!
in exchange for this fabby award, i'm now obliged to fess up FIVE addictions.

FYI and BTW - a person who claims they are without any addictions, is either lying or incredibly boring. so here goes:

• chocolate. i don't necessarily consider this addiction, so much as a way of life. any kind of chocolate, as long as it doesn't have nuts in it, and isn't a hard caramel. so basically fudgy and chewy and well, hand it over right now.

• wine. see above. apparenlty this week it DOES give you cancer, but i'm going with last week's dictum from science, that a glass a day of red wine is full of antioxidants and all those are great things that are good for what ails ya.

• sales. i see it as my duty (PARTICULARLY in these hard times), to buy, buy, buy; and buy well at that.

• coffee. PROPER coffee. professionally made lattes. i don't think i'm asking for much really.

• blogging. ummmm, case in point.

remember this layout?

it was picked as the fave for the fortnightly challenge over at #8 wired. i was then asked to produce a layout on colour. how does it inspire me/my favourite colour etc.

so i came up with this

i've been told many times i'm 'good with colour' when it comes to scrapbooking. purple's one of my favourite colours and i think the sepia tone of this photo lent itself well to the double-sided brown paper. that stampin' up range sure has it goin' on

then there's this cool little thingee...

how cool is this?
go here if you wanna play too

here's a blast from the past! candice (one of my KC peeps) started a challenge on her blog and the first one was 'animal print'! it took a while for us to get on board (well, i totally left it too late) - but i came to the party in the end! i realised i had a tonne of stickers from our USA/Canada RV trip in 2003 and it was so fun to use some of the photos i never got around to scrapping.
this was the "bugs life theatre" at disney's california adventure. it was a pretty cool show, except for the sensation that a squillion bugs were crawling down your back! i still don't know how they did it, but it was CREEPY!!!

remember this layout too?
well, it got picked as one of the favourites for the month over here!

the line for scrapbooking mojo starts at my door...(hehe)
