Perfect

We headed off on our road trip with no hassles. Here we are stopped just near home for a bite to eat. The bike is safely strapped to the roof, and we have heaps of room. Including a spot for taffy the golden retriever, who is going to her cousin Maisy's in Deniliquin for a holiday (thanks sis, love you). We spent a night in Deni to help break the trip up, and then headed to Goulburn. We spent a night here in a lovely motel which had a pool and delicious dinner. The beds were scrumptious with huge big fluffy pillows.

We visited Rambo the huge merino Ram before our final leg to Port Macquarie. All trips in the car were essentially hassle free. The kids were as good as can be expected when sitting in a confined space for 6-7 hours at a time. We saw the remains of a terrible accident on the M7 and were reminded just how careful you have to be.

One of the awesome sights we had on the way, was a wind farm. I am fascinated by these big constructions. I think they look so regal.

We are all settled now on Port, and the weather is perfect, which I am thankful for, as it rained pretty much everyday last year. The kids and I have just been for a lengthy swim whilst mark went for a massage. He is feeling a bit dodgy in the guts, so hopefully it passes before Sunday (he had issues Monday after what we thought was dodgy Subway or pizza but it seems to be hanging on).

I am just relaxing now with some trashy mags and a glass of wine. Which may not go too well with the sudafed I have had. But they are helping my snuffly nose and fuzzy head.
For those checking in for some creativity, here is a layout I did a couple of months ago.

Enjoy your weekend, take care and I will catch ya soon.

Road Trip

Yes that is right we head off in a couple of days on a drive (about 15 hours, aaargh!)to Port Macquarie for the Port Ironman. Hubby claims this is his last one...Will have to wait and see if that is a true story, and if so what new hobby he comes up with. I am pretty sure it won't be scrapbooking.

Before we leave, and in the middle of packing, I need to have my new short high maintenance haircut spruced up, go out for dinner tonight with the prep mums, our first official night out. Looking forward to it. ALso going to see Daryl Braithwaite afterwards, should be fun. Then tomorrow night i have dinner with my friend Nicole who lives in Perth. And I haven't seen her for about 6 years or more...I think.. So that will be lovely. Goodness time flies and it is hard when you have our own busy lives...thank good for blogs and facebook (wish she would join, LOL).

These layouts are of Harry's first day of school and I completed them at the retreat.

Have a great weekend and i will catch up post holiday.

Wish me luck,

Cheers Karen

Weekend away

Well I had a lovely 3 and a bit days away with fellow paper crafters. I completed about 11 layouts and 8 cards. Plus the bases ready to go for Harry's party invitations. Our retreat was really close this time, only in Mt Eliza, which is about 45 minutes from my house. As always there was massive amounts of food, a little alcohol consumed, great company with many laughs and lots of creating done..

Now we are planning our big trip to Port Macquarie..So that will be an epic journey i think. In between that I have my first prep school mums night out to look forward to. Ok best go unpack. Take care and chat soon
