A new year

Hello, I continue to have problems with posting pics but will hopefully get it sorted soon. Well, today has been a lovely day. It's my birthday and a very lovely one. I was given a very lovely silver seahorse from my children which Kate came up with the name "Seahorse trophy"! Kids are so funny. Paul arrived today for his first 2 week stint since he left Karratha. It was lovely to have him here for the day. We went out to Chinese for tea with Paul, Colby, Kate and my brother Steven and his girlfriend Amy. It was a really nice meal and a fun night. According to my son I am 44, really I am only 38!! Hehe, still lots of candles on that cake!!

Maniac Monday

Yep, don't know what it is about Monday but I wish it would stop! Today I tried to get the kids organised to get to daycare and vac care. My 4 year old now hates daycare since she started kindy....So I drive off from dropping the kids off at 1015! I drive to the shops intending to take a breather, grab a coffee and head to work. The line for coffee was huge so I headed to Coles to grab a few essential items like bread, milk, fruit and the mint slice biscuits. Once I was home I made a coffee, got into bed with my packet of mint slices and a book. I ate the whole pack, finished my book and went to sleep. Ahhh. have to say it has done wonders for me. I got up and cleaned out the 4 yo room, rearranged my lounge and did a few other jobs. Hope you had a good day. Be back very soon.

I'm still alive!

Hi everyone. It's been so long...I've had major computer issues which led me to go and buy a new computer and I had a miserable couple of weeks. Our little dog Foxy was run over 2 weeks ago and that was the start of a pretty horrible week. This week has been better. I've put an offer on a house that I think will be accepted, so that is pretty exciting! And scarey.

Today I went to the KALC and took lots of unfinished pages. I have so many unfinished things in my life...I finished off 4 pages in just under 2 1/2 hours. One only needed journalling but still an accomplishment..

Here is a pretty bad photo of a card we made at my first at home workshop in ages! The theme was resist! This is the emboss resist technique which I love. I also made a card with the crayon resist technique but the photo was on my mobile and it was horrible!

It's Saturday night in ....Karratha!

Hi everyone
Can't believe its Saturday night and I haven't posted....It's been a busy week with seeing Jon Stevens live - excellent! I have always loved live music and haven't had the chance for a long time to see a band. Last night some of the mums and teachers from Karratha Primary headed out for dinner. It was a lovely night. Today was soccer and I am whacked! All week I've had a nasty head cold and feel very tired.
I have done quite a bit of catch up on my scrapping pages that I've started and not finished. This includes three 40th album's!! I am going to take some photos tonight and will post tomorrow. Night!

Home from Convention 2009

Hi. I'm back from Convention and really inspired, exhausted and ready to get into some scrapping! I will post some photos very soon. The flight over was heaps of fun but the trip home began at 0500 (0300 Perth time) in the morning! I arrived back in Karratha at 430pm. I couldn't sleep I was so pumped after the convention dinner and awards ceremony! My roomie Jenny and I sat up talking, finally reading and then passing out about 1ish!!
I am excited to say that I won a little award and got to hug the CEO of Stampin'up! Shelli Gardner on stage. I didn't think I had met any of the requirements to gain an award so I was very thrilled. Not that I do this for awards I love Stampin'Up and all the wonderful people I've met through it.

MMM TWO

Hi. Just a quick one as I'm meant to be asleep! We are heading off to Broome tomorrow and I think I've packed everything!! So no MMM tomorrow, hence my post now.

Well last week we farewelled a fellow scrapper and also one of my downline. Terri, we will miss you. Scrapping on a Friday morning is our therapy session - we seem to take it in turns to come in in tears! It's been great getting to know you. See you in the big smoke soon!

This is Annette on the left and her son Jack. Net is also in my team and has just turned 40!! Woohoo! She's gonna kill me for this.... Terri is on the right with a gorgeous photo she received.

And here is the scrap page I started as part of a sketch challenge moons ago!! This is the one the grasshoppers ate! Anyway its done except for the journalling! Night and chat soon.

MMM

Well what can I say. Its Easter Monday, I finally have a child free day and so does Paul! I've gorged myself on chocolate. There's coronas chilling, lemon ready to go!! I've started a new design for my convention swaps so have really achieved quite a bit.
I am working tomorrow, doing some catch up after the after math of the last stressful month. Next Monday I will be kicking back in Broome at the Palm Grove Hotel with my good mate- Helen and her 3 kids and my 2 kids....Bring it on I say.
Well that's it for me. I should have something to post tomorrow.
Amy comments left between now and Wednesday midnight will go into the draw to win a free stamp set so leave me a message!
