Hello peoples,

Well that turned out to be quite the week for me! I have just spent the past 3 days on Elijah’s School Camp. We were camping up at Cape Tribulation in the Daintree Rainforest. At first I was really sceptical about the whole event, I mean I had to drive 2.5 hours with 7 boys in my car, and they didn’t provide ear plugs!!! Not to mention Camping is not really in my resume either.

So how did it go? ….it was a blast! I actually really enjoyed it. We had a tight schedule with so many places to visit and things to do, it was exhausting, but very very enjoyable. I was all set to have this post up last night, but came home with a nasty headache so went off to bed early. Feeling much better now which is good.

Since we arrived home from our big trip to Canada etc… I feel like I have been chasing my tail constantly. First all the unpacking and what not, then being terribly sick for 10 days, followed by the Stamp-a-thon prepartaions, and now camp! It has been great but I do really look forward to the days where I can be on top of everything, and also have some stamping time too! I am sure you are looking forward to seeing some creative work too one of these days! Well I promise peeps, it will come, I just have the Stamp-a-thon, my birthday and wedding anniversary along with my trip to Perth to get through, and I promise the creative days will be back!

So onto much more interesting info, the newest challenge for you all! This week we have a colour challenge, and these colours are beautiful together! I hope you love them as much as I did…

Here is the colour palette….

Here is my creation for you all….
