Imagine, Dream, Believe....Crafty Sketches Entry for September 15 Challenge

This is my entry that I've submitted for the September 15th Challenge on Crafty Sketches Swing by and have a go, still some time until this one closes. The 1st October Challenge is also up ready for your creative hands to get going on! Come on and have a go!!




I absolutely ADORE this photograph of Miss Ellen that I happened to just snap when she was having one of her "off with the fairies" episodes lol I'm just amazed at how beautiful the blue of her eyes are, they are oh so dreamy. So when I saw this challenge & the sketch actually had the words, Imagine, Believe & Dream on there, I thought yeeehaaaa this will work perfectly. Gave me a chance to lash out irrationally on the bling "oh god how I love that stuff" lol.

Anyhoo, off to create some more entries for challenges, having a blast with them all at the moment, we've just gotten back from my sister's place, they have an inground pool, still a lil bit cool for swimming (for people with commonsense anyway) didn't stop the kids though, I swear these kids of mine are part mermaid lol they just LOVE the water! Who am I to stop them....hehehe photo opportunities lmao.

Take care & I hope you all had a great weekend, in good health :) Cheers Kris

My dear friend Tina surprised me the other day with this totally gorgeous collection of flowers, tags, journalling bits n pieces, and embellies, omg sooooo many beautiful gorgeous things in here (still amazed at what she can fit into an envelope!!!!) She made a drop dead gorgeous card as well with her sweet baby girl, Bindy on front, she is such a lil sweetheart with a gorgeous smile, how nice it was to find my little mate Bindy popping out off the envelope lol.






Tina you are such a sweetie, and I thank you with lots of love & hugs (again) lol.

Vroooooooooooooooooooooom OMG SuperPowerBoats at Moreton Bay today :)

OMG these things were UNREAL!!! They are so loud and fast omg was incredibly good fun trying to catch photos of these guys today. Here's a pic of "Big Red" as I was calling him, anything red and big and fast has gotta be good don't ya think? lol


I couldn't believe how low these helicopters fly over the boats and even scarier, the turkeys who are filming from the helicopters, man I'm talking, could see legs hanging out of the doors, holy cow!!!! Adrenalin junkies or what?? hehehe



We went for a quick cruise through the Scarborough Marina yesterday and saw a couple of these guys up on their trailers, OMFG they are HUGE HUGE HUGE! The engines are enormous, trailers the size of a house, unbelievably gorgeous pieces of machinery is all I can say.

We were going to trek up this arvie after the race finished to check them all out and grab some photos, but family called and informed us we were supposed to be visiting with them, like wtf? when did we make that plan I wonder?? but anyway, nature of the beast, keep everyone happy happy happy, so we had to ditch our plans :( oh well, always next year I suppose....

Hope you all had a happy & safe weekend,

Cheers Kris :)
