Before and After.....

Well I only got asked just recently what I do now I don't work at the shop that is. Cause we all know that Mums don't stop working. It is a 24hour, 7days a week job. Though there are no money rewards there are certainly other sorts of rewards.

Anyway I have put a few pictures up of Kirsty's room before I got in there and after I finished. Kirsty unfortunately has a very bad habit of playing and not putting her things away. And you can see what happens when Mum closes her eyes when she walks down the hallway.
Well I think I won't be closing my eyes anymore.
It took me around 4hours to clean up her room. I always say never again but I think that is wishful thinking.

I had a great nights scrappin at Lorelle's Friday night. There is getting to be quite a lot of us meeting up each week.
Congratulations to Lorelle for getting that job at This n That Scrap Shack. Great to see you laughing and smiling again.

There is only 18 more sleeps until the Retreat. I am wondering if my fancy dress is going to be too much for the evening. I thought I'd dress up as a Drag Queen.

Still here....

Well one of my goals for this year was to be able to ride on push bikes, Kirsty to school. For those who know my first attempt was not too successful but today I have riden her to school. And I have riden back to pick her up. I truly must be crazy as in total today I would have riden around 15klms. I do believe I will feel it tomorrow or maybe even Thursday. Makayla rides on the back of my bike. And she absolutely loves it. Though her constant swaying from side to side makes it a real challenge to stay upright. There is only 24 more sleeps to the BIG Scrapbooking Retreat. I so can't wait but have to. For those that are not booked in there maybe some places left but I'm sure they are filling very quickly. It is a great weekend. And I am so looking forward to not working for the first time. I have found out that I am not able to work for any scrapbooking stores for a period of 12months from settlement of the business. But hopefully Lorelle will be teaching there in the next week. So watch out for her classes. Best go as I now have to collapse. I have put a photo of Kirsty to show just how much she is growing into a beautiful girl. Well I think so. See you all soon. xxxx

Welcome to ME.......

Hello all,
Well I thought I'd get into the 21st Century and create a Blog. There are no guarantees that I will keep it updated. But I will try to keep you as upto date as possible.
Since leaving The Creative Artz Cottage I have been extremely busy. I simply don't know where I had the time to actually go to work before. I now spend a lot of time having morning tea with my friends and also my new found friends through the shop.
No I haven't been back into the shop since I left - for those asking. There were a few things that happened at settlement that left a bad taste in my mouth, so for the time being I will keep my distance. But there is a group of us that get together weekly if not fortnightly and scrap. It is just like old times for those that used to come Friday nights and scrap.
I keep thinking I should go back to work but I have been informed by Cameron that I don't need to go back just yet. He tells me I need a break. He's a keeper.
I was only just recently asked by Janine at This n That Scrap Shack if I was interested in teaching there. I am seriously thinking about it but just have to wait for the OK from the solicitor. Just in case there is some legal reason I can't do this yet.
I am getting excited as the Scrap Clubs Retreat 2 Scrap is only 34 more sleeps away. Sorry Petrina I just have to mention it ONE more time. That's like 4 weeks away. Unlimited and uninterrupted scrapbooking and uninterrupted sleeping. That's if I sleep this time again. I so look forward to this retreat each year. It is a real shame there is only one a year. HINT.... HINT....
I best go and get some scrappin done while the girls are resting.
