Off to KIWI SCRAPS!!!

thnaks to my buddy Joan I am off to KIWI Scraps with my buddies Alison J and Alison S. I will be working BUT will have some chances to see classes and may get some classes in too! DOING the happy dance!
I am sitting here with a big headache BUT i have to get sorted for tomorrow morning!
I have been tagged by my KSK buddies Kayla and Donna

7 things about me!

I wish i was in Disneyland RIGHT NOW!

I am forgetful and i procrastinate - so if I am not forgetting something important i am thinking about it.

i have a bump on the side of my head - my dr said it is a "growth" that needs to be watched!!!

I swear too much and i need to watch my language

I played with my barbie dolls until i was in year 8 (behind closed doors of course).

I hang my washing in sections depending on if it is going to be ironed, folded or it belongs downstairs.

I went to a fortune teller 2 years ago andshe freaked me out by telling me things NO one could ever guess! She was right in so many ways.

I tag Alison J, Alynda, Karen T, Elleni and anyone who want to give this ago!!!! it was 24 minutes of my life I will never get back (WINK ;)

Anzac Day

This morning Daz drove Dad to the station to attend the march and I became really sad, I just wanted to go too! So i have made a promise that we will take Max every year to see his Pop march! Dad today we remember and I am thinking of your brother "uncle Norm" who was in WW2. I also want to say i love you and I am proud of you. Here is a photo of my sweet Dad - Max taken in the 60'sI have been busy scrapping and I seem to be on a little role! But it is coming to an end as I have a mountain of school work to do and since I am spending all weekend at KIWI SCRAPS I have to get going!

Here are my latest creations



Today we had the wonderful Elleni, Michel and Lucas over! It was sooo good to catch up! I am so happy Max and Lucas are 4 months apart as I know they will be great at keeping each other company for many years to come. thanks sooo much for a fun day! we have to stop missing each other and do it MORE!!!

I also forgot to say in my last post MAX loves Barney.



We went to the Barney concert last Wednesday with Tracy, Charlotte, Christine and David and we had a great time. Max danced up a storm!!!! sadly the shops do not seem to be selling Barney stuff anymore as i would love to get him a Barney toy!

Hello!!!

Max has a new word!!! YAY! it is Hello!!!




WOW it has been a very busy holidays! Seems like I have had soo much to do but got nothing done! I had a great stamping up party with 19 of my scrapping friends. Then after getting to bed at 1am after some scrapping with Alison and Jen it was up at 6am for a trip to the hairdresser and then to Terrigal for Clare and Scott's wedding! It was a really nice day with lots of great catch ups!!! Especially with Jules and Marcus - these two crack me up. We are so lucky to have great friends like these two. Marcus you are a sexy BOY!!!!! thanks for a memorable weekend guys - we need MORE like this!



Scrapping wise I have managed a CUTE altered album for Addicted to craft . It is Maya rd and I cant share - but look out for their stuff it is HOT!!!!

here is also what i did last night!


TV wise - yes !!!if you did not know I am a TV NUT!!!!!!! I am sad biggest looser is coming to an end! I sooo hope Munnalita or Marty get the win!!!! I am loving the Amazing Race and LOST is doing my head in as usual! Prison Break is making my heart skip a beat everytime Michael/Wentworth moves!!!! and as it is holidays and I am up to 2am each night I am SOOOO hating quiz mania - but why do i still listen and scream at the silly twit presenter!!!


Our friends Peta and Todd had a baby boy - Jack Fisher - well done !!

I caught up with Rebekka and her photos made me want to go to New york tomorrow!!!!



I swam in our pool. it was sooo warm as I pumped the solar up and did about 30 laps!!! it was so relaxing.

Happy 50th Birthday Debbie!

It was Darren's birthday.....






but most importantly WE WENT SWIMMING!!!


Mark came over and finished the electrical and we had a little birthday celebration. THEN we decided we needed to jump in JUST BECAUSE!!!!! because it has been a long time coming!!!


I was just going to watch the guys, but Karen said I HAD to get in too!! I could not be bothered getting changed and i think my clothes kept me one degree warmer!



Rebecca was soooo funny - she just got in - no foot test, no screaming - just started to swim! She is a true summer baby!!!!

Happy 31st birthday Daz!!!!! love ya long time!!!!

So ironic!!!

Our pool is FINISHED!!!! (except the pavers and the plants) nad we get COLD weather!!!! Yes I can here you all tell me "well it is APRIL!!!" I promise you all there will be a photo of me in this POOL this week as soon as the solar kicks in and I find my wetsuit!!!!!


Max and I had a great time on Wednesday afternoon filling it! We walked around the shallow end and he had the best time playing with the hose. I remember doing this when my parents put a pool in - I was sad when darkness ruined our fun!!! the next time he will walk in the shallow end he will be at least 6!!!.








FIRST KISS!!! with a taller and older woman!!!!!!


On Good Friday our Mums group had a get-together! We had such a yummy seafood lunch.

The children played happily! I really hope they are friends forever and attend each others weddings - hey we could even pair some of them up !!! we all get a along so there will be no inlaw problems!!!!!! SUCH CUTIES!!!!!!!
