Pics and Layouts - now stop bugging me to see them!!!

I received my portrait photos from the magneficent Ms Greig last week, and I have finally got my arse into gear and posted them here for all to see. I love them....so much so that I'm going to frame them. : ) They just seem like 'me', if you know what I mean. Not too posed, just smiling and laughing. And for the first time in almost a year, I like my hair - I know that's vain, but I don't care. I've lived with crap hair for months, and it's about time I liked the look of it. So there!













And here is a pic of the group.....there were a lot of people there, and I am so sorry that I can't remember everyone's names. Naughty Berga!!!!

I am also posting some pics of layouts that I have done recently. I did 2 and a half at the retreat, and the other half of one at home, and then haven't touched anything since! I'm in a couple of swaps, and that's all I've been doing lately!!! I went to a local crop last night, and did some of MY stuff.....geez it felt good. Nothing startling (but then again my work isn't startling), but I did it at least.

These ones are from a photo swap I was in with the Scrap Needs girls. I received another person's photos, and scrapped them, and someone did photos that I sent in. The one on the left I did for Linda. It is a lot brighter in real life, and it is straight, it's just my photography that's bad. I have to stop taking the photos on the table. I'm just not tall enough to get right over it, and I'm so clumsy I don't trust myself standing on a chair. The floor next time......... The one on the right I got back from the lovely Anthea. I LOVE IT!!! The bright colours really suit Ardyn and the event that it is documenting. Thanks again Anth!

I was going to post my retreat layouts and my ones from last night, but Blogger is playing funny buggers and taking forever to load, and I want sleep.

Before I go though, I want to wish Melissa and Rani all the best, and just tell Mel that I hope that everything went okay after we spoke tonight. My thoughts are with you, and you know I'm just a phone call away. Hope to see you next week.
