home again ...

So after nearly 2 weeks at Coffin Bay we are home ... the time flew and I think next year we will go for 3 weeks!!

So yesterday ...

First we headed to Seven Mile Beach again and had lunch, a swim (the water was magnificent) and the boys did a bit of fishing (not very successful but fun) ...

After an attempt at fishing at the Oyster Leases we headed off to the beach next to Three Monkey Beach ...

some beachcombing ...

we headed home via a trawl at The Brothers ...

and then the deal was if we didn't catch enough fish for tea we would have dinner at the Oysterbeds!!

I had Nannagai Curry ... yummy!!

Today was pack up time and now we're home :-)

iPhone photos ...

First day ... monopoly and I discovered some new rules (made up by Jack!!)

A walk Tuesday morning

Then some gardening ...

then the boating and fishing ...

and relaxing!

And then off on a walk this morning ...

More fishing and boating ...

We had a great day out in the boat today, a friend's son, Will, came a long and lucky that he did as he caught a lot of the fish :-)

We went to The Fenceline, past Farm Beach and then headed to Seven Mile Beach for a swim ... great day! 

Hannah stayed with Will's brother Joe, for the day and had lots of fun at Farm Beach.

The rods ...

Seven Mile Beach ...

Rohan catching a Tommie off the beach at Seven Mile Beach ... he was very excited!!

Back at the front of the shack for the filleting ...

A nice cold beer to help with the job ...

Okay so we are in the summer holiday zone ...

and then there is our shack and this fantastic canvas that Amanda created ...

And then today was a boating and fishing kinda day ...

A selfie ....

and then there was the pod of dolphins, at least 20 .... amazing ...

and then there was Seven Mile beach ... seriously why would you not want to go here ...

I had a fantasticaly reflective day ... about how lucky I am to live here and have access to so many wonderful beaches, how lucky I am to have a wonderful family and life, so I have had a great day  :-)

pizza girl ...

girl time!

October at our place ...

hello 2012 ...

some scrapping from a month or two ago ...

at five ...

For Amanda's scraplift the teachers challenge over at Escape2Create.

A bit more Silhouette action this morning!

And then some ...

These layouts were started last week and finished off with the journaling today :-)

They are for Amanda's scraplift the E2C teacher challenge ...

This one is of Kate Mason's gorgeous canvas inspiration ...

and this one is a scraplift of the fabulous layout by Mardi Winen ... I turned it on its side!

So finally some scrapping!!

On Thursday I received my long awaited Silhouette Cameo! Yay!!

So this morning I unpacked it and got to work.

After a couple of false starts I had some success ... lucky it's only paper hey!

Firstly I went for a title and then once I had taken the letters out I used the rest as a mask ...

Then with the next one I wanted to try a different technique and it was a little more labour intensive!!

When you put the cardstock through the cutting machine it temporarily sticks to a sticky mat to hold it in the correct alignment and the mat being new is fairly sticky and to get the cardstock off after the cutting is a slow process but worth it I think :-)

Next time I think I will try cutting some shapes rather than just the fonts I have tried so far :-)
