Hello!!

It's been quite some time since I blogged. I don't really know if anyone still checks my blog. Sorry. Life has been a bit hectic to say the least!

I found out in October that we're expecting a little surprise! Here's the proof.
I didn't believe myself at first.



Most of you already know of it but I just couldn't resist putting a picture on my blog (plus I just learnt how to use my scanner - LOL)

School Holidays at the moment so it's a little more busy than usual but I promise to be better at blogging.

Bye for now.

I haven't blogged in such a while. Lots of things have been going on in our lives. Joshua turned 10 last week. My big boy is now double digits. It took me a few days to get used to it I must say.





Above should be a photo of him opening his presents. He got a digital camera pack from DH and myself. He got 2 DS Games from Nanny and Grandad and a DVD from Aunty Andrea. He did pretty well I think.

We seem to have ended up with a couple of extra pets over the past few weeks. We have had a bandicoot coming over every night to pinch the cats crunchies (dry food) for the past couple of months. He's getting very tame and will even let me get very close to him to get a photo. But we got a surprise last week when we found he has a girlfriend (or could be a baby)



We took Joshua and Shane to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary on Saturday for Joshua's Birthday. We had an absolute ball. Josh held a snake and had his photo taken with it. He volunteered but didn't look thrilled about it! lol. Ralph and Joshua fed the lorikeets at 4pm. That's like a scene from the The Birds.






I think that's it for now.

Do you like it?

Following in the footsteps of Terri and Niss, I too, have changed my blog around. I'm not sure if I'll keep this one. I found a beautiful orange one earlier tonight but can't seem to navigate my way back. Bugger!

I can't seem to find my mojo. If anyone sees it, could you please smack it's bum and send it on home to me? I have been doing some redwork stitching that Terri made up for me to do. It's quite therapeutic. I'll post some photo's when I get a chance.

I do have one to share though. You'd think butter wouldn't melt in their mouth would you? Think again. They are currently driving me up the wall this evening.




That's it for now.

Seeya. Don't forget to leave a comment on what you think of the new layout

Important!!

If you receive an email from my hotmail address, please delete it. Some lowlife has got into my computer and deleted my contacts list and proceeded to send an email to everyone on it about how they can buy ipods, iphones and assorted crap from a dodgy site. Obviously they have nothing better to do with their time. I am sorry this has happened and I'm taking steps to prevent it.

Consequently, I am changing my email address. I will send an email to the few people whose email addresses I remember from my contact list. Leave a comment if you want the new address for me.

Other than that, have a great day.

The Chuck Bug!!

There's at least one time during every Winter that a household encounters the "Chuck Bug" It must have been our turn last week. First Joshua, then Shane, then Ralph. I was lucky and only got the tiniest dose of it (which I would wish on my worst enemy)

Consequently, life has been a bit bland in this house this week. Nothing to report, I couldn't even get any scrapping done because I just didn't have the energy nor the inclination to do any. I am really interested in having a scrap day so if anyone is interested please email me.

That's it for now.

An Update......

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I spent some time last weekend updating the blog backgrounds but not the post. Sorry about that. I seem to be running here there and everywhere at the moment and most of the time, it's not for me. Boohoo!

A couple of weeks ago, we scrapped for the day at Scrapbook City for Ronnies Hens Scrapping Day. Not everyone turned up, but we had a great time anyway. I altered a lovely big frame that I had purchased at Ikea a while back. I got it for $19 in the "as is" area because someone had broken the glass. I didn't need it anyway.

Here's the finished product. It's not the best picture because it was taken very quickly on the way out the door one morning but you get the idea.



I also made some recipe cards with a bit of bling.





Ronnies Hens Night was a week later at Bronco's Leagues Club. I only have 1 photo from the night and that's one of Ronnie and Danielle


We bought a new car on Thursday for Ralph. He loves his new car. It's a Mitsubishi Triton Dual Cab. I took it for a drive last night. It's bigger and higher than the falcon of course so it's an interesting perspective for driving. I'll post a photo when I get one. Probably today as it's such a beautiful day outside.

There's probably more to tell but I post again maybe tomorrow.

Bras for Fiji!!

The ladies of Fiji need our help. They don't have enough money to buy bras over there and because of the humidity, they are suffering for it. Uplift Fiji is a site that gives information about sending our unused bras to this lady and she can send them on to Fiji. She is especially looking for Larger Size Bras. I am going through mine and sending some down. Why don't you do the same? I am sure it will be greatly appreciated. Worn out Bras can be used for spare parts. Keep that in mind.

That's all for now.
