The usual thing... housework, kids, cross-country sports, photos, work, etc... and I have a few things of the 'show and tell' variety.
Mostly sneak peeks but still, I don't want any of you thinking that I am here picking my toenails and staring off into space...
Firstly... a 5th Avenue sneak peek...
Secondly... this month's last Sketched class is underway as I type so I'll slap this one in here right now for emphasis! BAM! Remember this sneak??? NO. That is NOT grungeboard. It is Lynette's attempt at creative license.
Here's the mother load...
We have a Scrapapple snippet? To view the complete layouts and order the kit complete with instructions, head on over to Scrapapple.
And here is something else from something else I did that's a top secret... something... well... you know...
...This is what was across the road from our house yesterday afternoon. A mama roo and her Joey. I tricked it up with PSE. Weird... I learn something new every single time I go in and use it...
I have a few more pics of the roos, with some of them taking flight. Well, not literally! Kangaroos can't fly! Although I did hear one of them say "There's that crazy sheila with the Canon 350D stuck to her face. Let's go Bruce..." And off they jumped!
Hey!!! OK... I'm not done yet... I'm struggling here... WHY do we say "pants" when clearly they are singular. We put on a PAIR of pants. Why are they called a "pair" when there is clearly only one! It's times like this that I am embarrassed and relieved at the same time that English is my first language. I feel sorry for Asians who struggle to get their head around our plurals. Like when I am reading their menus which are written in English. It would appear on first glance that you only get 1, one, uno, singular chip if it's deep fried!
"HEY YOU LADY!! FAIVE DOLLAR FISH AND CHIP!!!!"
So, to finish things off with, I have 5 of these undressed owls to give away. The first five people to leave a comment will receive one via snail mail. Email me with your snail mail address.
Oooh, I'd love an owl! Love the sneakpeeks of the layouts - they look fab!

I think that these little owls are adorable. Love what you did with this one. I also love the sneakpeeks and can't wait for my kit to arrive from scrapapple! Loving all your work.

OMG I'd love an owl !!

Sorry had to make that short and sweet so no one beat me to an owl lol!!!
Love your layout and your sneak peaks look gorgeous xx

OMGosh! How cute is that Roo and the Joey! I wish I saw those instead of squirrels! Maybe I need to job hunt in AU! :)
And your pages are just amazing! I love your attempt at creative license, it's better than grungeboard!
And of course the owl is freaking fantastic! I so would love to display that in my house!

Oh wow Lynette all those sneak peeks make me very curious! You have been so productive! I always have days in a row where nothing seems to come out of my hands, all kinds of stuff going on in my head but nothing on paper! And then - suddenly - things come out again and it feels so gooooood!
Love the pic of the kangaroos - I wish we had them over here. I think it's a little miracle that a kangaroo baby finds his own way to the pouch minutes after being born!
Love the pictures of your son btw, forgot to comment on those. I wish my son (15 in June) would pose for me like that... all he does is looking at me cross eyed (and he still thinks it's funny after a gazillion of those shots). Ahhh puberty!

darnit all, missed the owl, but he sure is cute!!
I just have to say, who needs frickin' Tim Holtz when we have Lynette!!??
That flower is fab-u-lous!! All your sneak peeks and layouts are beautiful Lynette!! I bow to your talent!
smiles,

Haaaa! Cricket said frickin' Tim Holtz.
I second that emotion!
I tried to get to Scrapapple to look but they were having issues. I'll have to try again later.
Love the roo with the grass sticking out of her mouth and the joey hanging out of her pouch. Eeeeeee!!!

Well The owls are all spoken for so I would like a Roo delivered to me. Pretty please. (You may come along to make sure it gets here safe and sound and you may even stay for a long visit!) I have a large yard for them to play in. Thanks ever so much. =)
Love your sneak peeks. I just wish they were less sneaky. I wish there was more to see. Know what I mean? Sure ya do!
I had a hawk in my yard the other week. He was on top of the swings eating his fresh kill. NOT sure what he was eating. I did get a few pics but I only had my 28-135 zoom on my camera so they are kind of far away. I think we should trade wild life. See if the hawk was at your place he could eat those cane toads you hate so much. Then I could have Roo and Joey over here. I think that's a perfect switch-a-roo! =)

Oh POO! You know how bad I wanted one of these!
(Insert LOUD crying)
Love your snippits. They are all so beautiful. Love what lingers in the front of your home too! Sure beats noisy neighbor kids!

You mojo is frustrating me. lol You are mucho talento.;)
I want a roo too since I didn't get an owl.
I had brought up the pair of pants at work a few weeks ago . . . a pair of underwear . . . go figure.

Love your sneaky peeks. Do you really ever run out of Mojo?
The kangaroo with her little one is sweet.
You know we could go on and on about the English language and the things we say that when you really break it down make very little sense!
