Something New

We started working on a new project last summer (around August 2009)...
No, it doesn't cry or answer to some 3 or 5 letter name...hee-hee...
But it's just as exciting...:):):)

The new spot...



The "foundation prayer/blessing"...(taken with a camera phone...eeek!)


About 2.5 weeks ago...


6 days ago...(note the garage is up from the last pic)




Yup...ahem...be back with some family pics, and hopefully some scrappy stuff :)

Happy 2010!!!

I'm a day late.
(Hope that's not going to be "my thing" for this year ;) )

I want to wish all my readers, friends, family and lurkers the bestest year ever.

I'm thinking about resolutions.
(Again, a little late...hee-hee)

Anyone want to share what your resolutions for this year are?

Hello Winter...

We went to bed on a not-too-cold night...
and woke up to 30 degrees celcius below zero...
...that's without the wind-chill.

Having an Evil Streak, being Opinionated,Self-Centered...and other Important Stuff

I know it's been a while between posts, but to be fair (to me...lol), my desktop died a few weeks ago, and in between ordering to trying out various parts, realising there was a D.N.R on the system, and ordering a new one (which will only be delivered around Christmas), I have been slightly impeded.

At the moment I'm coming to you from a laptop which has none of my pics or scrappy stuff, so brace yourself for a read.

I've been having a bit of a trying time of late.
My parents are going through a difficult period, and it's tough for me being this far away.

Fortunately, my children are lovely, and unconditional in their love for me. They greet me with big broad smiles every day, and my days are filled with countless hugs and kisses...
Even when I play the 'mean mommy" card, they're still there smiling (not at that very second of course ;))

Makes everything so worthwhile...
Really...

Oh,if you're wondering about the title of this post, it's a reminder to myself...
Not that I'll need reminding...

Okay this is a vague and confusing post.
I needed to make it though.
For posterity.

Be back soon...hopefully with pics :)
Thanks for checking back, ya'll :)

Start of Birthday Quarter...

The 25th of October marks the start of 3 months of cake-eating.
It's like Shark Week...
But without the Sharks...
And lots of cakes...
And it runs over many many weeks...

Yesterday, Osh had his big day and we celebrated with a cupcake cake, which was done up in a Halloween theme:



Watch this space for more b/day pics...

What a couple of weeks it's been!

My Garage Sale went awsomely.
I made some cash...
Got rid of some stuff...
And spent waaaaaaaayyyyy too much time setting up and taking it back down.

Then our Zuzzi took a fall, and this happened:


I rushed him to the emergency room (a first for us) 'cause there was just SO MUCH BLOOD

I asked for Hubby, who was doing the anaesthetics in theatre that day.
He came out, with the surgeon, and a handful of nurses...
(benefits of having a Doc in the family...hee)
And declared that our little monkey was fine.

A large box of "Smarties" was prescribed, along with a stiff shot of Bailey's for Mum...
And all was well :)

Hey, did you know it's almost that time of year again?

Supplies: "Upsy Daisy Designs" papers from the "Hot Chocolate" line

Okay, time to scoot...later gators :)

My Second Annual Garage Sale

Last summer I had a small, impromtu scrappy garage sale.
It went pretty well, and I got a fair idea of what the local ladies wanted.

So this year, I did it again.
Except I advertised it, and planned it out a bit more.

Tons (and I mean TONS) of stuff is ticketed to be sold.
I probably need another two garages in order to set out everything.

Yesterday was Day 1,and it ends tomorrow at 6pm.
So far, it's going pretty well.
