Sharing for the hell of it.

Hope you are all having a good week.

A cute purchase

How cute is this little sewing kit, that also comes with bits in it. I have my sewing stuff in a daggy old poxy estee lauder (not even a nice one) make up case, and I always lose it. So when I saw this in the Herald Sun several weeks ago, I had to investigate. So it is from a very groovy store (Leia you will like it) www.larkmade.com.au and I only ordered it on I think Monday and it is here already). I want the First Aid kit next.

Ok at work so best go. Trying to get a pic of my beautiful poster from the conference, except it is a pdf file, and blogger doesn't like it :(

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

yea yea, i am old , jeez it catches up quick.
Thanks to all who sent happy thoughts on my facebook, via phone, text and email. Very much appreciate your warm wishes.

I have had a relaxing time without kids. Although i had been away at a conference in Sydney since 3 on Sunday, and didn't get home until 9 last night, I needed my me time. Admittedly I was going to keep the kids home with me, as I missed them terribly. But by 0730 this morning, i was over that idea. LOL.

The conference was good, lots of good ideas for improving practice. I presented my poster, which everyone thought was awesome. Most conference posters are very clinical and drab, so i jazzed mine up. i have to thanks Annie K's kids, especially lara for her contribution to the poster. Only 16 out 0f 40 abstracts were accepted to display there posters. Unfortunately my poster did not win the prize, I believe this was because it did not represent any research findings, but instead outlined the program I work for.

I thought i had a pic here, but alas can't find it. I am sooo very tired still from my time away, so off to bed. Catch ya soon.

A quick catch up

Yes, quick, because I am tired and want to go to bed, and only justy realised i best update.

In a nutshell, the wedding was fun, but my first hangover in 6 years was not so pleasant. Glad I don't do that very often. And heading into the MCG on the train with 2 children, to see mark finish the melbourne marathon was certainly a challenge, but one I managed (just)!

Busy week with ENJO and Stampin Up, normal work, my lovely kids activities, house duties and the like.

I head to our enjo seminar at crown tomorrow, that is always motivating to make life full and enriched. Then i fly to Sydney on Sunday for a 2 day conference Mon/Tues. I have aposter being displayed, which I will share when I get back,

We had a very unexpected, but VERY welcome letter from the govt yesterday, yes coulnd't believe it, but we have paid too much tax and childcare with our losses in our businesses and now they are paying us a shitload back (wondered why we have been on the poverty line all year). So we went out for dinner tonight. Our local pub has a lobster festival every year, and so we went there. 3 course dinner (lobster for entree and main) for $49.90 each. It was delish, and we had a lovely time.

Ok I will leave you with the 2 cards we made at my workshop last week. i have to add a number to the star one, for the birthday age, and the other one is a case of as card from the mini catty. I love it actually.

Have a great weekend, and I guess I will see you when I get back

Night

Exciting announcement

Ok i had a busy weekend, with no time to scratch myself. Also had my head in the toilet, but that will have to be another post.

First ever layout

I thought this might be of interest to some of you. i recently shared it over at Mad about Scrappin, and it just bought back memories of 5 years of scrapping, wow what a journey. I was very cute though, LMAO.

On another note, my other blog has been updated with several specials, and a great new book, for all of those environmentally friendly people, or if you are wanting to know more about what you can do around the house...
