Just a reminder that the Scrapbook City Garage Sale is being held on Saturday the 31st May 2008. I think it goes from 10am-2pm from memory. Check the site for details. I am selling a whole heap of stuff.

One for the Funny Bones!!!

My Poor Baby!

I got the phone call yesterday that every mummy dreads. My 2 year old had had an accident at the park. I raced over there because his Daycare Mum was a bit panicked. She never panics so I knew something was wrong. When I got there, he ran over to my crying. It nearly broke my heart. I calmed him down and took him to the doctors for an assessment. He's got 2 front wobbly teeth, a cut top lip which today looks like he's been punched in the mouth and a cut on the gum above his top teeth. Suffice to say he's very clingy so I'm not going to work today and he's not eating as well as I would like. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to get him to eat?

Other than that I haven't been up to much. I am going to start going through my stash and culling some/most of it for the Scrapbook City Garage Sale. I have packs of embellishments that I have bought thinking to myself "that'll look great on a page" and then by the time I get around to using them I don't like the look of it at all.

Anyway, must be off. I have 2 children to drop at school and when I get home, the first load of washing will be ready to hang out.

Happy Mothers Day!!

Happy Mothers Day for yesterday to us all. I got a few beautiful things from my boys and a game for my Nintendo DS. I'm a lucky girl. My most favourite thing is the necklace that Josh picked out all by himself. It's red with different colours fired over the top of it.




We went out for tea at the Hogs Breath Cafe at Cleveland on Saturday night. I would highly recommend it. Beautiful food and fantastic service. We didn't want for anything at all. Should do it more often.

That's all for now.

My work from the Retreat.

I promised that I would put my layouts etc from the retreat up here once I had photographed them.

So here they are:




The top one is a 3d layout from a workshop run by the talented Carol Janson.
The bottom layout is from a workshop run by Kerri from Scrapbook City.
I'm pretty pleased with them both.

Then there's this one:






That's from a Family Album Workshop from the Retreat.


Hope you like them. Please leave me a comment. I really don't think anyone reads this blog at all.

Ahhh, long weekends are so nice aren't they? Well, when I get one I'll let you know. But then again I've had the best 2 long weekends in quite a while. Last weekend was the Scrapbook City Retreat. Ladies, gotta tell you again, I had the greatest time and when they call for deposits for next year, I'll be on the phone quicker than I can write a post on my blog.

Saturday Night Mum and I went to the Ascot Taxi Co-Operative Reunion. I worked there in the Radio Room from 1989 to 1993 when the company was absorbed by Black & White Cabs. They were the days where everything was NOT computer orientated and we had great fun telling Men where to go. I wish I could go back to those days. We got to see so many people we had not caught up with in about 10 years. They are hoping to do this again next year. Maybe I should start rounding up the crowd for that. There were a lot that weren't there that should have been, but stubborn ego and pride got in the way (and you know who you are)

Yesterday I went to the 60th Birthday Party for my Gorgeous Friend Kaye. Her birthday isn't for a couple of weeks though. Here's a photo of her with her cake.





Today all I've done is the washing and it's been great. Although I have the Wiggles coming through my left ear and DH is watching Alien vs Predator 2 in the lounge room so that's coming through my right. Ahhhh, domestic bliss. At least I have my music on my computer. LOL.

Back From The Retreat.

I'm back from the Scrapbook City Retreat. It was the most fabulous 3 days of scrapping that I have done in quite some time. Thanks to Kerri and Leisa from the shop for all their organisation.

I also loved being part of the "Room 20 Group" - There was Terri, Milly, Meg, Niss, Sue, Ronnie, Deb, Sandra, Carol and of course the lovely Jen. We dressed up for the Party Night - The theme of which was "come dressed as your favourite Movie Character" I don't have any photos yet but we went as the cast of the "Wizard of Oz" When I get the photos I will upload some here. We had a great night.

I did a bit of scrapping (of course) I started the Family Album which was a workshop, I did 3 layouts (1 was a workshop by the very talented Carole Janson) some Easter Cards (yep, too late for this year, so pretty early for next year)

All in all, I had the best time and thanks to the Room 20 girlies, bring on Next Year!!

luv,

Jo.
