The countdown is on

Well knowing how much I like countdown's lets try another one!

26 Days till Christmas!!!!!!!

Even though I live with the ultimate scrooge and have toned down my excitement for Christmas (Its a big secret ssssshhhhh don't tell anyone ......... but ........ I am really just a big kid!) lol bet you didn't know that!

Anyway this year the kids and I decided that this year is going to be a proper christmas so we are hitting it in a big way! Tomorrow we are putting up our tree ( which with the kids help tends to mean all the decorations in one section on the tree ..... lol) which is something the kids always look forward to but this year we are also going to spread the christmas cheer around the house a bit. Tony reluctantly agreed to let us spread out just a bit further than the one corner with the tree in it. Hhhhmmmm wonder if he knows what he's in for!

I'm not sure who is more excited, the little kids or the big kid!

Then Sunday we are going up to Georgia to help Mum put up and decorate her Christmas tree and lights.

So Countdown is on - Christmas is on its way! Promise I've been behaving!

it's official - I'm slack!

I did have good intentions! Does that count?.............................................

Had planned to make all my chrissy cards this year. Simone kept saying (from months ago) that we would get together and have a card making day together but......................it just hasn't happened. I turned around and suddenly it's almost christmas. Anyway last weekend I decided to get moving and after a bit over 2 hours I had made........................................wait for it...............................wait for it....................................

3 Cards!!!!!!

WOO HOOO

At this rate I might have enough done by next year!

So this morning I went and bought a pack of cards. Yep that's me - officially slack!

Scrap of Faith weekend

Hmmmmmm can you tell who the trouble makers were??????

Busy weekend

Well last weekend was a busy one!

Had Scrapping with Soul crop day on Saturday 12 - 10pm. Got 4 tins covered and a minibook made - not bad for someone with no mojo!

Hip, hip, hooray....
Hip, hip, Hooray....
Hip, hip, Hooray......



Wishing you all the best for your 21st HAylee

An inspiring weekend

After feeling so sick and not sure if I would even made it I am so glad that I went to the scrap day on the weekend.

What an amazing and inspiring group of women!

We met up at Bowral Baptist church as a fundraiser for mercy ministries which is a great support for young women. Between the 7 of us we raised $232.10. (I think that's right). But apart from the money raised what agreat day we had! We went from 10 - 6 and I actually got 3 1/2 layouts done! I was so stoked. Cass got 5 done! Gail and Lou did a great job organising everything. Lou did so much work organising us a wonderful lunch and Gail had spot prizes and giveaways. It was great to see each others work and catch up.

We then went out to dinner at the Coloseum in Bowral for some absolutely yummy pizzas and melt in your mouth ribs and wings. Yum yum. We got to meet Tracey's DH Cam at dinner too. Then tracey and Cam joined Gail, Lou and myself back at Lou's for a time of sharing and chatting. These people are so inspiring and Cam's bible knowledge blew me away.

We will definately have to do this again (and I promise to share more next time Tracey - we just needed some sleep!). Even if we just have a family day out some where it would be great.

Apart from that not much new news. Have the SWS crop day this weekend and I have a heap of tins and OTP's to do. A bit nervous taking these along with me - Gail is the OTP queen there! Oh and Haylee's 21st!!!!! Happy Birthday for Friday Haylee.

Feeling Yuck

Yep been a slack blogger this week but haven't been doing much apart from lazing around in bed.

Have got this horrid, horrid flu thing. you know the runny nose, sore throat, constant cough, fevers (sitting here in jumpers etc covered in goosebumps and shivering madly) and just generally feeling terrible.

Have had to miss 3 days work so far which worries me somewhat as I don't get paid when I don't work. Went out for 2 hours on Saturday - didn't so much just sat and watched the kids play and it totally wiped me out.

I would just be happy to get some sleep - have slept in 1/2 hour increments for the last 5 nights. Just drift off to sleep and start coughing and wake myself up again. GGGRRRRR

I have been looking forward to the weekend with the SoF girls this weekend and will be devastated if I can't make it.
