Yes it certainly has been a while... a long while... over four months. I am very slack I know, but that's me :-) I don't have much of an excuse, except life got busy and I wasn't really creative for the past little while. However, my beautiful niece Polly-Anna came to visit for a month in August and that sparked my creativeness again! We had such an awesome time! Made sure to show her a bit of Australia - Melbourne, Sydney & Gold Coast - as well as doing the sights of Brisbane. Of course with all our adventures I took many a photo and am slowly making my way through the new photos on the "to-scrap" pile. August is, as any Brissie girl knows, EKKA time! I hadn't been to the Ekka since high school and it was great to revisit the place of some of my fondest childhood memories. It was smaller than I remember, but nonetheless provided another great memory. Anyway here is my Ekka layout:

Materials
Embellishments: Ribbon, lace and journalling card from my stash.
I have also expanded my creative skills of late and started making headbands. I made the one below with a piece of ribbon, section of tule flower fabric and some little pearl beads. Very quick and simple, but effective don't ya think?
As a treat to myself for my birthday I got an iPhone which has been a very worthwhile investment. I love it! While I do have a habit of texting/calling the wrong person because of the touch screen, I cannot live without it. After a recommendation from my dearest sister, I downloaded the Hipstamatic App and it is AMAZING. The photos that this app take are fab. I love how you can get so many different effects/looks from one program. And the 'Random' feature makes it even better. Here's one of my fave pics so far...
Well that is all for now. Before I go though, I will share with you all a quote I found the other day that I think is just lovely. "Love is like bread. It has to be made fresh every day" ♥
