June winner

Here is my LO for Scraphappykat's June paper pack competition, this photo is very special to me as it shows my dear Aunt & Uncle. Aunt has since passed away.

I was lucky enough to be an equal winner, many thanks to Kathie and her DT team.

Catching up!!

I have been busy catching up on a couple of LO's and the ATC for July.  The LO of Egypt is for the sketch challenge over at Scraphappykats.

My spin on Lexie's class from Scraphappykats

I really enjoyed this sketch challenge, it brought back memories of our most amazing trip- We were in Cairo sitting in the shade of the Great Pyramids when this young woman waved madly at us.  You would not believe it - it was a girl from Euroa, she had been living in London and had taken a short break in Egypt with her fiance Kelvin,  before returning home to Australia.

Well under way

The house renovation has moved along very quickly - walls have been taken out, moved and put back in...Sparky comes Thursday the 10th - been quite a buisness to get one I can tell you. Plumber is sorted, the polished boards and carpet quotes are in, another builder comes on Sat to give his quote. Hopefully it will be at lock up stage within 6 weeks.
Checking out kitchens on ebay .. just missed a ripper for $1.00 now isn't that ridiculous included sink, dishwasher, cooker and cook top etc all in a beautiful Tasmanian oak. Buggar!!
Check out the photo's below to see our progress.

Tuesday 25th - Can you believe the difference already, we have just spent the day lifting carpet.

Wednesday 26th-The re- stumping has begun, pest inspection completed.Cleaning up the yard and taking out the kitchen.

Thursday 27th - The plumber's quote should be in, and building inspection all done. Just waiting now for the builder to come Monday evening to give his quote, and the sparky who should come tomorrow. Mmm you know how hard it is to lock them in. ahh well I think we are going well. Tidy up a bit more yard then leave the stumpers to do their thing...

Project

It has been really busy over the past few weeks, helping Gordy with the outside chores, (he has a knee injury) working and looking at houses with my daughter Vicki. We have just purchased this lovely old home to renovate- so here are a couple of photo's ....

It is going to take a lot of work to bring it back to life so I will update the photo's as we work through.

Day 1. We pulled up the old lino in the kitchen (well the hovel that was the kitchen), then the dining room and the lounge. Vicki took to the old bathroom and cleaned the loo yuck disgusting!!! . Well done Vic x

That's about all for now -

Thanks for popping in
