Mount Gambier get-togethers...

I know it is slightly bigger than the 1300 x 690mm one that sil gave me! Will try to get the measurements today!

Oh ok, just measured mine and it is those measurements. If you run into trouble, you could always get a chunk of foam cut at Rubber and Plastics!! They will cut to your measurements!!

We had a great morning with the kids scrapping.... they loved it.... put some photos up on my blog.... treens.... couple of your kids on there too

**sob** I missed it!!! Was so looking forward to time out with other adults too!!!!

had a quick look Charm - love the pics - and of my brats too awwww, they look half loveable ROFL my kids that is LOL Kahli came home and said "your friend, Harmony's mum said I was a scrapping queen because I did the most pages" ROFL

heheh she was a great help to harmony!!! there's an age gap but they get along really well

I'm Knackered.... we walked there and back today.... not too far, but after not having much sleep last night I'mstuffed....

up early tomorrow to the markets with Mum.... wish us luck! any of you coming to visit us????

remember.... they have the best hot chips in town and yummy yoyo biscuits.... and cherry ripe slice.... and... and.... too much yummy stuff.... heheh....

i'm off to bed!

LOL, night Charm! Enjoy all those goodies tomorrow. We won't be at the market cos we have a 4th b'day breakfast at 8.30 tomorrow morning!!

yeah I'm pretty proud of the fact my kids don't see age gaps as things they need to worry about, the play and get along with most ages Kahli loves Harmony and is absolutely besotted by Ryarne!!! She's always wanted a little sister - guess who she's adopting as her second family hahahhaa

I'll not promise making the market tomorrow, I probably should, we need some decent veggies... Not happy with the supermarket ones I saw today - a bit bleurgh for the money they wanted for them!!! I'll see if I have the energy to fight getting all 4 kids there and then back out to the market myself hahaha

Good evening Ladies. I've only just found this forum tonight, and I'm so glad I did. It really is great to know there are lots of scrappers here in The Mount!! I'd be very interested in attending a crop day if one can be organized, and I have several dear friends who would go along as well. While I'm not new to scrapping (I caught this "terminal illness" in 1997 ), I am, however, very new to joining in forum chatting - in fact, this is my first effort - so I hope I'm doing all this correctly. I look forward to meeting everyone some day - hopefully sooner rather than later.

If you can't beat 'em, SCRAP 'EM!

LMAO, welcome to Top50!! Us Mt girls are slowly taking over the forum!! lol!! So glad you have found us, and hope you will continue to chat and join in some of our challenges!!

Have you joined Mt Gambier Scrappers on facebook?

Looking forward to getting to know you

Treens, and mt girls, we are heading to the Treehouse Playcafe right now, if any of you would like to join us!!

Okies, Dommy's refusing to sleep - will see you there!!!

We're looking at having a BBQ down at the lakes around lunchish
tomorrow (Sunday) if anyone in the area is interested in joining us - we'll be there most of the afternoon weather permitting, I need some decent shots of the kids, I've not done any since we've moved over here - totally shocking!!!! LOL

Hey Mt girls, how was last night? My kids were such ferals yesty arvo/night that if i could have got rid of them for the night i would have gladly come to scrap! As it was tho, by the time they went to bed, they had sapped all my energy and mojo, so all i got done for the night were my group 4 swaps, and they weren't even hard, my machine did all the cutting and i only had to do the fiddly sticking!!

Was a good night Vicki, shame you couldn't make it - my kids are being ferals at the moment grrr I was going to head to the market to see the price on veggies, but considering the weather and me wrestling all 4 kids myself in public there I think home is the safest option

Last night i finished group 3 swap - I LOVE how they turned out, will put up a piccie in a sec... I also worked on a few more spideys I didn't scrap anything but Charm and Bronny were on fire!!!! I wish I could do more than one layout in a day - let alone 3-4!!!

I'm not sure how far away the next crop night will be, but thinking we might need to organise one for ourselves soon I might kick Nathan and the kids out on day and get you all around - or even have him stay here and babysit!!! now there's a plan ROFL

it was awesome last night! got so much done WITHOUT kids.... I suggest NO KIDS ALLOWED.... I ended up doing 4 layouts.... not complete though - just had to add journalling and stitching.... but yay! so happy Inspired to scrap tonight too, seeing as kiddies are finally asleep

Great to scrap with other people.... and the food was YUM!!! my choc ripple cake disappeared

LMAO, i wish i could have come, but nanny had to work today so she couldn't have the kiddies!!

you def have to come next time.... which will hopefully be soon!

Vicki and Charm ~ it has come to my attention today that our dear friend Treens has not come across out SA icon Fruchocs. Any chance you could introduce her at your next gathering?

ROFL I'm curious - I've never heard of them LOL I wonder if Mr Google will satiate my curiosity hehehe

They are a bit like a choc coated apricot delight. But they are balls and peach and apricot flavour

they sound YUMMY!!!
why is it they are only in SA? are they an acquired taste or something?
I know my best friend who was originally from Tassie goes nuts for some lolly called "Jockey's Caps" (or something similar) that she can only get when she goes home to visit...LOL (Treens, you probably know what she is talking about?)

LOL, well being a South Aussie for 18 years now, i must admit that i have never had the urge to actually try Fruchos!!

Sue i think they are actually SA made, and for some reason SA people don't want to share them!! lol! I'll send you some if you want!!

OK but I want you to taste them first...you know we like the same sort of stuff, so if you dont like them, I won't! LOL

LMAO!! Will do!! Will add them to my shopping list this week!!
