Yada yada.....

that is what life is like really, same stuff, different day. Not that that is a bad thing. I am not unhappy. We are all content at Keefer street as far as I am aware.
The catch up is _
  • the cat is good, settled in well. Got her vaccinated for cat aids and she went ballsitic when they tried to take blood. So they had to sedate her. Glad I got a fiesty one with a bit of personality

  • kids cute as ever, and boisterous (and probably put my sister off having kids every time she comes here). By all accounts they are fairly normal nearly 3 old and 5 year old. They are doing swimming on Saturdays, and creche / kinder 5 days a fortnight. Harry does computer gym at kinder, which he likes. His bunk is ordered too, and should be on its way. Need to sort their rooms out, get rid of a heap of toys and the pram, cot etc, and then I can get some order going on.

  • Mark has himself sorted for some upcoming triathalons, marathons and ironmen

  • I have joined the gym. I am also off on a short scrap retreat next week. Can't wait. It is with a group of girls I have slowly been getting friendlier with, so it should be a great bonding and fun time

  • we also have Foxtel IQ now. Not even a week in and it is fantastic. Altho I spent hours today watching on demand (which had a lady gaga special at the chapel, next top model and runway. Also nip tuck which I taped last night.

  • Ate too much yesterday with a yummy lunch with Kim and then our fave mexican for dinner.

  • I am off on night duty tonight. That 40th is only around the corner, and nights are perfect for invitation construction as well as paying for it!

Ok here is a little layout I did at a crop a couple of weeks ago. Hope you are all well and
thanks for stopping by.

I can't be bothered..







been away to Cohuna which was nice, but had no internet access, so makes my life very dull.
am enjoying things on TV like Nip Tuck, and the US So you think you can dance. Going on a scrap retreat in 2 weeks, and to keith Urban in December.

Life is good.

Kids are healthy and happy, I think my hubby is too. LOL

Fossilholic

... I am not sure what it is about this shop, but once i walk in the door i am gone. The intoxicating smell of leather just draws me in. The soft, stylish leather handbags, classy sunnies and groovy watches get me everytime. I never usually spend much money on handbags because i get bored and like new ones. But these bags have changed me. I think i have chosen classic, practical styles that won't date and so i will be using them for a long time to come.








i have to say, i now think my fossil collection (hey i collect fossils, that is a hobby, a career even..i am a paleontoligist, LMAO)is complete. I have my sunnies, a watch, keyring, and a small and large bag. Yea. i must say i don't think the sunnies or the watch are at all expensive. BUT the bags are (well not compared to a Gucci or Berkin bag), but in comparsion to what I normally spend or can afford they are a bit pricey. BUT in my defense I bought both bags on special, Half price, so you can't beat that.
Plus I am working extra night duties to pay for my 40th, so a bit here and there for leather is not too much to ask, is it? I am actually working tonight AND tomorrow night. No idea how I will manage, because i am guessing there will not be alot of sleep between this morning and Sunday.
Ok have a wonderful weekend, and I will see you soon. I must post the sweet mini album i made Emmy.
Of course if you are desperate to see my current creations i post every Thursday over at http://rememberwhen.com.au/blog/

Ok bye

Not much to say..

Things just plod along, same ole same old, really. I work 5 days a fortnight as a Paediatric asthma educator at the local community health service, hang with the kids in between. They do swimming on a Saturday, and we try to get to a park on Fridays. They attend creche / kinder when I work. Mark is back to running / riding for kilometres nearly every day of the week, he is also madly following the Cats.
I try to get out of the house for some me time as often as i can, and that recently included the most fabulous weekend where my best buddy Annie and i enjoyed a wander around DFO, yummy lunch on Bridge Rd, scrapping at our hotel, yummy dinner back on Bridge Rd and then to see Wicked, which was great. Then on Sunday we enjoyed a buffet breakfast, back to my house to scrap, and then to yummo Thai for dinner on Swan Street and to see the spectacle that is Pink. She was awesome, great singing, funny, down to earth, a fab show that included HER doing her OWN amazing trapeze routine. Our next thing will be the big scrap retreat over Cup weekend, and then to see Keith again in December!
The other weekend the family went to Werribee Zoo which I loved. So open and fresh. The lions looked so well. Full manes and shiny coats, much different to the ones at the zoo. The only dissapointment was a group of men smoking up near the lion enclosure where there was obviously groups of parents with their kids, not only did this piss me off, but worse was when one of the ferrals put his smoke out and left the butt right there. Don't worry i told them him he was disgusting!!
This weekend we went to my nephews 1st birthday. God they just grow like weeds,

here are some happy snaps from the day.

A flying visit







Well hello, I used to be so good at updating, but now i have a new hobby. Something that is a comlete waste of time, but a challenge and compelling at the same time. I have a virtual farm, on facebok, called Farm Town.

But I thought I would pop in and show you a cute journal I made for a friend for her birthday. One is of it with the front plastic cover, and then the next is with the cover open. I love these for to do lists, party planning, or anything really. i also made a matching card.

The family are all good. We went to Werribbee Zoo last weekend which was great, and then we went out to montezumas mexican with the birthday girl and her hubby and daughter, it was delish and a lovely time.

OK i must get back my farm. LOL

Oh I don't think I have mentioned that i am no longer an ENJO consultant. I needed a rest after 2 and half years. So I have a mountain of new and barely used ENJO for sale if anyone is interested, just leave a comment or email me.
Cheers
