A Nice Monday

Well, yes today was nice AND it was a Monday!! I had a very busy day at school doing the team screenings and then the last minute stuff for the Lifestyle Positive Parenting Program that is part of the pilot in WA. I did fit in a siesta and a catchup with Paul before he flies out tomorrow
:(. Tomorrow nite is the Fathers Day workshop and I have to clean the house and do some stuff for that. So chow for now.

Mad Maniac Monday again

I really don't know what it is about Mondays that make me so emtional. There has been tears (mine), temper tantrums (also mine) and lots more! I'm feeling better now after a coffee from muffin break and we are heading out to Dampier skate park for a play soon. But first a photo of a card that I made using the fan folding flower tutorial on split coast. Best you go there for a look rather than me bungle my way through the instructions for you. I've used the leftover edge from the scallop edge on this card too. It was really quite simple to do and effective. The photo doesn't do it justice.

Here in Karratha we have a festival called FENACL which stands for the mineral wealth we have in our area ie FE= Iron ore, NA CL etc mind is too blank right now! Anyway its lots of fun with lots of rides and community info. Lots of giveaway too. I got a couple of the new energy reducing light bulbs, water bottles, a really cool fly swap made out of a kids thong (flip flop) which could double as a bottom slapper if they were naughty lol!! Sadly one of the last things I saw last night was a little fella break his arm going down this fun slide. In all the years I've been, its the first time I've seen an injury occur.

My kids loved this ride. They are right on the back here close to the number 10! Can't wait to get scrappin' on these photos but still am making my way through this massive list of unfinished pages and projects that I have in my stash. It is a really good feeling to be working through some of the stuff. Today I finally ordered a replacement mat for my kids trampoline. Can't wait til it gets here. BFN

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.
