Its about time

I know its been a long time a very long time since I last posted, I have been soo busy, with work, family trying to catch up with friends and going away. So whats been happening? I have been away on a great weekend to Port Macaque catching up with family and friends. It was so great to catch up with you Karen, and thanks for letting us stay as always:) and can't wait till Christmas when I spend a week down there! Have been catching up with friends for lunch, and even a great crop day, it was so nice to see Briohny again and share some great laughs and whats even better is that we don't have to keep on swimming anymore - lol and it was good to see Peta and Jan too:) I taught my last two classes at Scrapbook Princess and thought they went really well and would just like to say thank you to the girls for sharing my last class and making it special. As sadly this month I resigned from teaching at Scrapbook Princess - time was a big factor......... well lack of it anyway. Thanks to the push from Jan I booked into the wonderful day with Heidi Swapp and just can't wait. Can't wait to be taught by her, can't wait to sit with the wonderful Jan and Ruth, Debbie and Lorraine and Donna. Great friends in the scrapping world make a big difference and these gals make you realise that they are still out there. (wish you were coming Briohny Have just had a great weekend in Sydney, but I'm leaving that for a separate post and will add some photos. My sister has been doing some huge reno's at her house so I spent a morning with her picking tiles, its always nice spending time (when I have time) with my sister and I wish we had more times together sometimes. its really funny because we either see each other all the time or very rarely. she really is a special person and I am so proud of all the hard work she puts in around her home, being a single mum can be so stressful sometimes...... but she pulls it off rather well. Pete and I celebrated our 8th year anniversary together, wow now that eight years have flown, and I still love him more everyday, and I am so grateful and lucky to have someone like him in my life. Ok now this is all getting a little mushy so i'll just leave it there!! and don't forget to come back soon for my weekend away on Sydney post and photo's

Ciao

WOW has it been that long?

Where on earth did April go? I must have missed that month, I haven't bloged since March.. wot the? Now I have to really think of what I have been up to. I will start with the long weekend just passed as that is still fresh in my mind. Saturday just bummed around did some washing, went and got my hair cut and yep had time to do some scrapping, Sunday met up with the girls I used to work @ the club with and had lunch on the pier in Eagle St, at the Boardwalk cafe what a wonderful day and the weather was grand, sooo nice to catch up with them all,You ladies rock i am so glad we have decided to do it every second month. Sunday we went on a bush walk at Mt Cooth tha and than on the way home we stoped at New Farm and caught the ferry accross to Southbank had some lunch and than sat in the park with my brother and his friends, another splendid day. The Anzac weekend another long weekend that went by way to fast, My friend Debs came and stayed as it has been way too long since we caught up (wow I have a lot of ways don't I) We went to scrap day at the princess and had a great day, some great laughs and Yay Deb's got some layouts done after months of not scrapping. Sunday went to some markets and some other scrap shops and than Debs went home, it was so good to catch up after a long time. Now apart from that I really can't remeber what else I did.... I really need to update more regulary now that age is setting in.(lol) I hope everyone else enjoyed thier labour day weekend. So for now its see you all later

A BIG hello from Me to You

Hey from me to you, Easter has come and gone for another year. I love Easter the weather is not to hot and not to cold, and its a great time to have a break and 4 days to relax and enjoy, we (family) went out on the yaught and watched the begining of the Brisbane to Gladstone race always exciting sitting along the starting line and sailing a little way with them, It was such a hot day that I and the kids jumped overboard me cloths and all. We sailed home and enjoyed a Good Friday family and friends BBQ a fun and relaxing day had by all. The rest of the weekend was spent watching movies and enjoying some day sleeps...mmm love my mumma naps. Before I knew it though it was Tuesday and back to work, the company moved over the easter weekend and we are now in the Valley, right behind the emporium, yep your got it great shops and great food and best of all great prices too!! NOT!! saw a lovely pair of shoes and thought wow there on sale turned them over and yep they were $550.00 on sale!! whot the?? I know I love shopping but that's not a very good bargin.. can you imagine how much Scapin stuff i could get for that!! This Friday night is my Stiches Class see my class samples below, So don't forget to book your spot and come along and have some fun.. See you all there
So from me to you a big goodnight and until next time have fun and stay safe.

Another Week Come and Gone

Well I am almost 3 weeks old in my new job now, and feeling alot more settle. WOW I cannot believe we are in March already, soon it will be christmas again - I best start shopping(lol). We just had a weekend in Port Macquarie (again) as it was our nices 1st birthday, we last saw her at christmas and what a difference those couple of months make at christmas she was hardly crawling and now she is running every where... So very cute! Every time we go down its such a long hearl and so nice to be home, but this time after spending a wonderful Sunday on the beach and headland I just wanted to stay there, and if I had my way I probably would have.
My darling middle child (Naomi) got her licence, how scarey I must say... for me not for her, she's loving it!! The freedom, The independence, It makes me feel old, i only have one more to go, it makes me want to cry and celebrate all at once.
just a quick post this week, but keep looking you never now whats around the corner
Chao

Yay for Me......

For those who know me, know that this week I began a new job, I forgot what a scarey place it is when your not in comfort zone, Monday I hated it and didn't want to go back, Tuesday I felt sick just going there on the train... I was the new kid on the block and I just wanted to go home, however Wednesday was a little better and come Friday I knew that, I am just going to love it there. It's amazing the process of it all and how quickly we forget what it's like, I went through the oh no what have I done, to the yep I made the right disscission, At the end of day it didn't really matter, because everything in life is a gamble, if we don't take chances and if we don't make mistakes than we never learn and we never grow, so yay for me I made it through my first week.

Today I poped into the wonderful Scrapbook princess, and all the girlies were there scrapping away, I was only poping in for a quick selection of goodies for my upcoming class's and a few hours later and trying to walk out with a few free extra goodies as well but Deb wouldn't share.(so unfair Deb!) How amazing was the work there today, awesome stuff, from cards to double layouts to Briohny stitching away on the machine to create some fabulous masterpice, and good laughs all round. For those that have never been to a crop day at the princess,you should really go along you will be amazed with the ideas floating around the room and you will have a great time with some pretty awesome girls, so mark the next one on your calender now.

Well I best go and attempt to scrap something for the upcoming calender otherwise Mel will be out with that whip again, and let me tell you it hurts........ lol

Thanks again for reading and until next time, I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful weekend and have a great week!!
