It's Monday! Scrappy Fun and What Are You Reading?


A weekly event hosted by Sheila from Book Journey to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week. I love this meme, it helps me stay on track ... well, most of the time. Thanks Sheila!

Had a fun day catching up with friends at a charity scrap day ... lots of talking and a little bit of scrapping haha

Scrapped a photo of Anthony & Christine's wedding 
using a lovely Sue Tonga kit


#bookblogwalkers update #3: Felicia's Book Blog Walkers ~ I've walked with Bella, 45 mins each day except for Saturday when I was at the charity scrap event ... not a bad effort. You can join anytime, it really is fun having the support of old and new bloggy friends while getting heart healthy :)

A busy week coming up ... my birthday Wednesday and *yippee* family time and we have a long weekend with Australia Day on the 26th. I'm participating in the Australia Day Book Giveaway Blog Hop hosted by Shelleyrae @ Book'd Out so make sure you pop in on Saturday for Australia and International giveaways of our fabulous Australian talent.

  1. My reading has slumped badly though I do visit blogs often. I haven't found any books around either so maybe things will improve once I get hold of some good books. I do so like your scrapping.

  22. Great job with the walking! Since it's mostly around 10 degrees these days walking to the car is all the exercise I'm getting!
