And we're off........

Well not quite........ I am all packed and ready to go.

I am so looking forward to some relaxation, fun and craft time with a great bunch of girls. I hope to come back full of inspiration and ideas and hopefully with some completed work. Scarily I have my tote bag, one tub and my ribbon box. Hmmm wonder what I forgot.

see you on the other side of the weekend

Ch ch ch ch .. changes

Hehe bet you have that song in your head now - I know I do!

As you can see I have done a little tidying and housekeeping around here! Getting there slowly - just need to work on my header. Don't get too comfortable - may move things around again! I am having fun playing - should be doing housework but hey..... this is much better for the mental status!

One done - big one to go!

Spent some time with the wonderful Miss Jane yesterday at the scrap day at the church. There wasn't enough room on the table so we didn't get to catch up with everyone we hoped to - we sat on a different table. Got a little bit done - as usual not as much as I would like. It seems I only tend to scrap on designated scrap days - must make a pact with myself to allow creative sessions each week - it makes such a difference to my mental status.

Anyway back to it - I did new door hangers for the kids with "knock before entering" on one side and ""do not disturb" on the other for when they want to be left alone (This has been a big issue here lately so hopefully this will be sorted out now and they don't have to worry about sulking when they say no). also covered a mini album but didn't get it finished.

Now it's time to re-pack and get ready for a much anticipated girls weekend. 4 days of scrapping, swimming, chatting, laughing, relaxing with a great bunch of girls. Can't wait!

Menopause.....

No not mine!

I went to see Menopause the Musical with my mum last night. Talk about laugh.... I laughed so much it was hilarious (alhough mum wasn't too impressed when I was laughing myself silly through the song about overbearing, critical mothers).

And..... now you will all know how much I hate dancing and how I would NEVER dance in public (hehe) so I know you will find it hard to believe that I got up on stage when they were pullng people out the audience to dance..... nothing fancy just a kick line. Shouldn't have done it - made me want to go out dancing...... JJJJAAAANNNEEEE!

Still Alive!

Hi peoples,

Yes I am still alive - just a quick post. Hmm let's see:

* Book finished and off to printers! (lots of work - long story - lessons learned)
* Working every day this week - yuck
* Scrap day on Saturday - 10 hours of chatting, scrapping and yummy food (and I get to spend most of it with the wonderful Miss Jane)
* Supposed to have the week off after that but now working on the Wednesday
* THEN 4 day long weekend at Melross - scrapping, chatting, swimming, relaxing...... can't wait

Busy, busy

Just a quick warning - I may be fairly quiet for the next few weeks. Talk about insane schedule!

So much for working 2 days a week! This week I was down for 4 days but will probably do 5 as the other lady I work with has to take her daughter to theatre for a k-wire fixation of her finger (her right hand - and yes she is right-handed - and in year 10!). Next week was supposed to be 3 days but depends on how Sally and Bella are going may be more. The week after that is five days!

In the midst of this Tracy and I madly trying to get the commemmorative book organised for the kids schools 30th birthday. Just a little job ~can you hear the hysterical laughter~ I have 40 pages to design, edit, add photos to and generally get up to publishable level. Oh did I mention we have like two weeks to do it?

Then (YAY) the plan is I have the first half of the following week off before I head off back to Melross for a retreat with a wonderful group of girls. We had a blast last year. It is just a small group (10) and we all bunk into this house with a large dining area for scrapping, a pool, kitchen, great lounge area, outdoor eating space. Mmmmmmm can't wait - think I may need it by then ~L~

So I tried to grab some time on the weekend to hide in my craft room. Ipod on - check. Music cranked up loud - check. Photos and paper at the ready - check. Inspiration on tap - drats knew I forgot something! Oh well - I sat and got kits ready and so I know I can be slightly organised but it looks like I am now just about totally sorted (paper and photowise anyway) for my scrapping weekend in 3 1/2 weeks!
