I meant to post on the 18th but.......

time got away!!! It was a year ago on the 18th that I first heard "i wish i was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair", it was a year since my matey Sal flew into to Sydney to stay, it was a since a great class at Scrapabout, it was a year since Kiwi scraps SO THEREFORE it was a year since Ali E changed my scrapping philosophy FOREVER, made me cry and HOOKED me to her work!!!

The final touches are being put on our pool as we speak! 5 more days and it will be DONE!!!! the pavers are being laid and landscaping done this week! YES it was a long process - TOO much needed to be done on our sloping block but OH the rewards! todays weather was GOOD enough for a dip - 26 in Sydney!!!! roll on Summer

I am also admiting to being a very SLACK penfriend! My buddy Kirsten and I have been friends since we were 14 and we wrote letters (remember them!!!!) for many many years! well Kirsten I owe you the biggest biggest biggest hug as I have been slack - I owe you pressies and cards ...just need to let you know I never want to loose you as a friend and I cant wait until you come out here on your holiday!!!!! here is us too in 1999

I have to go and plan an Athletics carnival and a DINOSAUR-cooking-cake-volcano thingy for my classes procedure writing lesson tomorrow. I am crushing biscuits, they will place their natural Confect. Dinosaur on the earth!!!! and then a choc mousse volcano will errupt, kill the dinosurs and turn them into fossils and then we will eat it!!!!!!!!!!! YUMMO!!!!!!!! will take photos of this creation if I can!!!!

TOO much fun for one weekend

I packed WAY too much, I ate way too much and I scrapped alot but would have loved MORE!!! thanks for a fantastic weekend girls! I enjoyed it all! The location was fantastic right near the car so no dragging my stuff up a mountain and 10 m from my bed which I crawled into at 4am each morning and was up again at 8 for breakfast. We laughed, we sang, we had a moan bond about hubbies, there was lots of PUSHING AND SHOVING to win the fantastic prize from SCRAPLOOT in a game of musical chairs!!!! GO Lee and Bridget!!!!
I really would love to do it again!!! Merroo was great - peaceful and way up the back so lots of privacy!!!
and YES girls I have started to work through the list!!!!!
So here is what i did! I scrapped Max's 6x8 mini album nearly finished 3 months to go!!!!!!

Ok I need some rest as I have soo much washing to do - thank goodness i get my mid week weekend tomorrow.

If there is any BREAKING NEWS can someone SMS me!!!! I am SOOOO going to miss my friend the computer.
Here is my cutie (make that Mr Trouble). going to miss him this weekend. He loves the new shutters and peeps at the neighbors!!!

too much to do

Yes I am procrastinating AGAIN!!!! thinking about what i have to do rather than doing! packing for this weekends retreat and KNOWING if I dont pack well i will get nothing done and then I will......PROCRASTINATE!!!!!! I am sooo looking forward to getting away with some GREAT scrapping buddies. I have done the massive shop and all I need is TIME to prepare the millions of things i want to achieve!

Here is a layout I did last night ! At the retreat I am teaching some stamping techniques and water colours! Here is one of the examples! i stamped the title and stars and used my water colours on it! the rest is patterned paper by one of my favs Scenic Route

Today I caught up with David, Christine and Daniel at Lollipops! Max was soooo happy to play and explore and was not the clingy baby he has been over the past months! and yes Max was a gentleman and pushed the pretty little girl on the bike, half an hour earlier she pulled the lawn mower out of his hands and threw a ball at him! GOOD to see he holds no grudges. Then we went to see Dad (or as Max calls him Darren) at work. Max was so in awe of all the cars and tools.

A very busy day tomorrow and then it is OFF for ENDLESS scrapping, eating singing and dancing!!!!! have a great weekend !!!!!
