Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige.
It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character.

LOOK AT THESE CUTE FRIDGE MAGNETS!

I made these with Shelley G (mmmmwhaaa) a couple of weeks ago, and they made a great present for my mother in law for her fridge - updated pics of her granddaughters that she can look at daily!
I cannot wait until Friday, as I am getting together with Shelley and Justine to create a mini album made from discs!!

Mia and Ella received their end of Semester Reports - and wow they were brilliant!
Feels good to know we did the right thing choosing to send them to this school!
Their dad gave them $10 each for a fab report!!

"quote of the day"
(today 28/7/08)
Ella said "Mum, I don't need to go back to school again, I know everything well almost everything now, as Mrs Murnane has taught it to me!"
That is all from me today - home made chicken pie with vegies for dinner and then over to Bons Scraps for the cybercrop!

SLICE OF LIFE COMP AT SCRAPBOOK SHELF

Let's say there's a story you want to tell and feel really passionate about telling and you realise that you do not have a photo to go with that story. Don't discard that story just because you don't have a photo to go along with it. Its all about capturing your life through words, its about creating art with a few choice embellishments.

Criteria

1. Create a layout with No Pictures

2. Title must be One Word or Two Words only. If using two words create emphasis on one of the words

Here is my layout for this Challenge -

TAKE AT LOOK AT THIS CAKE IN A MUG

OOH I am going to try this when the girls are at school - how decadent!
Jul 15 2008How To Make A Chocolate Cake In 5 Minutes
Today’s feature is a fun tip from Dizzy-Dee with Chocolate Cake In 5 Minutes!

Not sure if this is a good thing to know how to do since it’s soooo easy to whip up (and then gobble up) a sweet little cake whenever you crave some chocolate ;).

Ingredients:

4 Tablespoons cake flour
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons cocoa
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons oil
1 Mug

You mix the ingredients in a mug, pop in a microwave and zap it for about 3 minutes and voila! Cute little chocolate cake ready to enjoy. Please visit the site for the full details and view the pictures detailing the process, fun idea!
