House Hunting - NOT FUN!

Well we have been house hunting. And I am just frustrated. Prices on houses are totally rediculous, how am I meant to get out of a rental into my own home? I have seen the most disgusting houses (seeing as I'm looking at lowish prices), really dirty inside and out seeing as they are rented out. I never thought people lived like that, yuck. I'm not the cleanest and tidiest of people, but I know when it is time to get everything back into place. anyhoooowwww, I am now looking at townhouses instead. So shall see where the wind takes me next I guess lol.

I wanted to share this Lo with you which I created at a Cybercrop over at EMM this weekend past. No luck in winning ... boohooo lol, but it was fun and something diff for me.
The challenge was to include a bow of some sort and to make something else out of ribbon ... hence my ribbon flower.

I am also involved in another Tin CJ swap, or actually I should I am coordinating a tin CJ swap over at Chookscraps. And boy ... I am sooooo not an OTP person. This tin really made me pull out my hair but I am more than happy with the result.


The top box is the outside of the tin, the bottom one is the tag booklet thingy that goes inside, that is actually the backside, it is one of those where you page through, reach the end, turn the book around and then page through the back ... mmm if that makes sense.

This is the front, I have included pictures of our family and as each person gets the tin they pick two photos and scrap them and then pass it on to the next person.

Okay and my two pages I did. I asked everyone to make the booklet interactive. So my first page has a booklet to open with a quote and the second has a tag to pull out with the title.

Loads of glitter on them too :)

Well that is it from me today. I need to go and fetch my bubby who has been visiting her Grandma for my cleaning day.

Bugger about the house hunting. I am worried about having to part with $500 a week for a mortgage when I currently spend $230. So in true Beth fashion, I am putting it off, again, with my cold feet.

I love your layout though! Its so gorgeous!!! You do pink and frilly so good!!!

Oh house hunting is the worst. I hated it. Good luck!

I love your tin! Love the idea of it being interactive too. I've thought about doing something similar with interactive pages (obviously not past the thinking stage tho!). And your layout is just gorgeous!
