Hi all, what a weekend! they just seem to fly. Took the kids to the movies on Saturday with friends to see ‘Up’ the kids had a great time together and us adults also had a great time drinking coffee and eating cake at Maccas afterwards. Sunday was a great day for gardening, so we got into it and had our machine man who lives up the road over to help us fill in a big hole. It was a pond that was here when we bought the house and we tried to fix it up by putting in Koi fish but the birds just ate them and then the pond turned into a big pit of algae and mozies and a huge troupe of frogs. So here is a picture of before the machine started and then when he finished. There are many sad ducks not having a pond anymore, I am sorry….

Wednesday is my day at home and I try and dedicate it to creating. Yesterday whilst working on my 6×6 album this dog was barking; it go the better of me and I got up and looked out the kitchen window and there was our neighbours dog barking at our gate wanting to come in. I went out the front and called her in (as she had gotten out of her house and her owners weren’t home) so she stayed with me for the afternoon. She is so small compared to my dogs and has such lovely manners….just secretly I could of kept her…lol. The photo is of her sitting on my chair at my desk and she was quite happy just sitting on there whist I worked.

What great weather that was delivered for Fathers Day. We had a picnic at ‘Sublime point’ in Bulli overlooking the Wollongong coastline with our friends Kim and John and John’s father Ken who is 89, Nicole and Ryley and Norm and Debbie. David and I don’t have fathers so the day is quite simple hence the reason for spending it with friends. The kids had a great time playing soccer, cricket, football. Thanks John for cooking a great BBQ; always take better when someone else does the cooking.  Hope you all had a good day too.

The Dad’s of the day…

I have used the new mini ‘Forest Friends’ stamp set to decorate this box. I have only shown you the front and top in this picture; to have a complete look at it come the my launch on 15th August. All four sides are decorated; great gift for kids to fill up with some type of treat (like lollies).

My daughter has started making her Christmas cards….lol, inspired by my fete making cards, Jared then wanted to make something so he chose some stamp sets and stamped a picture and was disappointed I didn’t have any fish but next month I may have fish with a very cute set in the new Spring Mini Catalogue, come to my launch to check what is in the new mini.

I haven’t been dropping in as much. I have had a week which was flat out and was not well on top of that and it got even better this morning when I closed the car door on my finger many tears appeared and as we do we keep on soldering on….

Will drop back in tomorrow. Thanks for visiting…..

…..some very exciting news will appear soon.

I do have a little to tell you now though. I have just returned from Stampin Up! Convention 2009 which was in Canberra. Firstly, I went with my great friend Sharon and we had the best time and we learnt so so much, I can’t wait to share with you some of the amazing things we learnt. Secondly, Stampin Up’s catalogue will now stay current until September 2010 which is great news. When I have settled in from my trip, (kids very happy to see me especially the four legged ones) I will post some of the make and takes we made. If you would like to come to Convention 2010 in Sydney ask me how. Cheers xo

Went shopping for a pair of gumboots as where I live there is quite a bit of gardening and I was sick and tired of ruining my joggers and the hassle of getting them on and off was doing my head in. So off I went to BIGW on a mission to find some gumboots and the story of my life disappointment with shoe shopping as I am a size 5, so before giving up I went into the kids department and found these very trendy boots. Do they remind you of a particular Stampin Up Stamp set? Have a look on page 67 of the new Stampin Up catalogue and see what you reckon.

My DS is going to a have a play at a mates place today so Britney wants to make an album. Prior to Christmas I made one for a friends 50th and she asked to make one in the holidays so she sorted out her colour scheme and supplies were purchased. So today is the day, we will post images along the way. Try and stay cool on another very hot day. xo
