"The mojo floweth whilst the butt doth groweth" - Lynette van Barrelo
Sad but it be true.
I did a little shopping whilst in the US and in Las Vegas I found these...
But I didn't buy them until I got to Chicago. I liked Chicago. Great shopping.
Nieman Marcus have perfume made in 1849 that isn't "cheap" like Gucci according to the righteous sales woman who looked like she had a nasty smell under her nose. It might smell like cat's 'spray' but apparently it's better because it's expensive. Riiiiight....
So, in celebration of finishing my deadline layouts and luv'n my Ed Hardys I did a quick layout JUST FOR ME... Yay!
Did these little tidbits for classes at Scrapbooks etc.
You know, I can barely remember what I've done from one layout to the next... that's between you and I. Don't tell anyone. I'm perimenopausal, ya know...
You can't see it right now. But it has something do with men and hoops. =D
This next one has something to do with the jolly guy...
This one here had EVERYTHING to do with lousy timing. Nope! You can't see that one either...
Ok... Just a second here...
Please give a thought and a prayer for those Brisbane families suffering as a result of the recent storms. Many have lost their homes, businesses and some have lost family members.
It's all a bit soggy here and thank goodness we haven't been affected in any other way except cleaning up debris from trees and gardens. Ok, so I haven't cleaned up anything outside but you know what I mean.
So while it's pouring down outside and our water tank is overflowing the kids are taking a nice BIG bath for the first time in YEARS. I make them bathe every month whether they need to or not! haah! I am about to hop into the shower and waste water just because I need to feel it flow over me more than the overflow needs to spill it, so THERE!
More photos of KC to come... Stay tuned.
Very pretty stuff. Now, when you say 'quick' layout, exactly how quickly were you able to put that loveliness together ;-) eh? We had another massive storm come through out here this arvo, had a few trees down in the paddock at school and couldn't beleive the winds - they just kept changing direction, and the rain came in sheets. Never seen anything like it, so I can't imagine what the worst spots of Brisbane were like on Sunday. See ya! Moira

Lovin' them shoes, lovin' them layouts. BUT really lovin' the woman who make them layouts. Your are a naughty girl to tease. That's so not nice. You really need to be nice to your friends and show us the whole picture.
I want shoes just like yours. They are so pretty. =)
P.S. Can't wait to see more of your vacation pics and your stories that go with them.

Another fan of the shoes. I love the photo you took. It has a nice mood. Nice layout too. Can't wait to see the others!
I can vouch for the snotty woman at Neiman Marcus. What a creep she was!!!

I'm alittle worried about you lynette. Sue bought a pair for her 17 y/o, I bought a pair for my
20 y/o....are you sure you didn't buy those for Peyton and now you've knocked them off?....
I really do miss you...stop all that scrapping, and lets go shopping again. Count downs on til the 11th....Twilight. x
PS: I LOVE my Gucci, and just to prove it, I bought 2 bottles while on holiday.
I think the Neiman Marcus assistant was Russian, and I met her sister at the Grand Canyon?!

lovin' all your layouts. Except for the sneaks....I hate sneaks!!! such cute shoes! bit too cold for me here now though. (man, that's a weird sentence)
Posted by: Haggith | 22 November 2008 at 04:12 AM
Those shoes look so tiny, are they really for you? Is that a dumb question? I like the photo of them too.
I didn't know you had storms there, I am sorry to hear it, glad you got some rain though so your children good bathe for once.
I heart your layouts. Always.

Ha! Are you kidding Kristi? We live in the land of cyclones/typhoons/hurricanes or whichever word you use for kinhuge storms. ;)

Like Haggith I never really liked sneak peeks... they annoy me! We want to see everything!!! I love the shoes as well, I had never heard of that brand. (I'm only familiar w/Converse but hey I am from another planet). They do look small though... and I'm from a family with big feet! I have a US women's 9 and my 12 year old girl has a US women's 10! Can you believe it!
I hope you'll post some vacation pics soon, I'm really curious about your trip.

i'm so in love with you and your talent.

Oh, I am sorry, I knew you get storms there, just didn't know you had some bad ones recently.
I am a little jealous that Keri is in love with you. ;)
