Soup-de-loop

Tuesday night for me is pool night.

I do water aerobics at a pool oh about 10 minutes away from home. In the middle of nowhere on a farm off the main road a farmer built a big indoor pool for use by people in the neighbouring towns. It's three lanes wide and maybe about 35 metres long I guess, I'm shocking with measurements. You actually book a spot for a term and that's your spot. It might be for aerobics or there are spots for laps, spots for kids learning, spots just for enjoyment. They do this so that the pool never gets too crowded.

The funny thing is that they have a waiting list to get on the actual real list of people who use the pool each term. Now that I'm on the real list, I'm never getting off, ROFL.

So back to pool night. We've decided that each pool night because we don't end up eating till round 9pm, it will now be soup night. Hot delicious homemade soups that merely need a quick heating up. Tonight I had made Bacon Vegie and Lentil soup and it was soup-de-loop-delicious!

And now for a bit of excitement to share !!!

I hadn't even realized until Esther left me a post on a layout I had done (thank you Esther), but check this out ...

Designer Details

What an absolute surprise, my layout was the Saturday Scraplift. I was blown away. Me and my itsy bitsy bikini, hahahahahaha.

Now over to [ksharonkdesigns], such a pretty pretty paper pack out at the moment called Crackleberry. Sounds like a material range or something. Love it! How gorgeous are these papers (click on the pic to take you to the twolittlepixels shoppe) ...


So I set to and did a layout of Mike. After the Anzac March I got him to pose for a few pics in the park up the road (Tracey, you will know exactly where this is I reckon!!) Enjoy.

I hope you got over to Artistic Musings and grabbed yourself the Crackleberry freebie over the weekend, it has the most gorgeous shade of purple papers (which I actually keep calling to myself "Cadbury's chocolate purple" te he). Alas the links are now expired. Hope you made it in time.

You're welcome! It was a very cute itty bitty bikini LO!! I didn't realize you didn't know! Isn't it a shock/surprise when people use/hightlight your LOs without letting you know?!
You enjoy the spotlight for the week :-)

Love the purple.
Great layout of Mike. I love your style - so clean and uncluttered.
Congrats on being 'used' for scraplift!
When you said 'pool night' - I thought of billiards/snooker, just as well you explained!

well deserved recognition. that bikini one was a good one.

You must tell the girls you had lentil soup. Then they can stop teasing me about being a lentil lover like i"m the only one!

that purple is so intense. Love it.

I love the soup title! Michael is a lentil soup fan.

Congratulations on being scraplifted, which has a vague Hollywood conotation that I can't quite put my finger on. ;)

Such a cool history with Mike's photos!

My mom is having to replace her bag for her Uillean pipes with a new gortex one because it has degraded over the years. She will be taking her practice chanter to Eve's preschool tomorrow and read a story about a Scottish Piper. She is so excited!

Wow, your digital scrapbooking is pretty! I keep being tempted by more fun things to do... And I like your monkey socks very much.

Thanks for stopping by to say hello.
