share from Ngaire's online class

Have just finished lo after putting up Christmas lights and tree etc. Lights look great although I put up a few less this year as it was too hot to stay out all day.
Dance concert was fabulous. A really professional show, a credit to teachers, students and the parents alike.

I really enjoyed doing Ngaire's lo. She is a really talented scrapper who really does think outside the square.

First online class

I did my first online class with Ngaire last night. did not finish the lo as I aonly had 3 1/2 hours sleep night before. Hopefully I will get it finished before we head off to the theatre for the dance concert matinee and night performances. Hope you all have a great weekend. Will share lo when finished

Busy week

I thought Saturday was busy, this week will be awesome. We have dance rehearsals every day except Friday in readiness for our Saturday concerts. I have enrolled in Ngaire B's online class for Friday night so I hope I don't fall asleep doing it.
The kids are pretty resilient however I am letting them have Friday off school. I also am only working part time this week. Staff get to earn some extra Christmas money, so I suppose dancing is kind to everyone this week. Hope you all have a great one!!

What a day

Well here it is 7.10p.m. and I have achieved so much today. Vacuumed the pool and did the chemicals, did the washing and folding, took kids to dance practise, put patches on a jacket for finale for dance concert, had a music practice for concert Friday Week, went to town and did more Xmas shopping, cooked corn beef for tea, wrapped teacher presents and some xmas presents, made more xmas gift bags for little presents and now me thinks I need a drink. Was going to scrap tonight but don't know if I will make it. Hope you all had a wonderful day, I will probably collapse tomorrow although I will have to work at po Sunday afternoon.

New blog

Have just been introduced to new blog.
www.scrapware.typepad.com

It is new and the stuff on it so far is really great. Have a look I'm sure you will agree.

Quickie

Just a quick post to say we are thinking of all of you who may have damage from the Brisbane storms. Please keep your chins up and remember material possessions can be replaced, but keep your loved ones close to your hearts. Here are my cherubs. I know you have to let them go and be a little independant but when they come and give a hug or cuddle you know they will always be your little ones.

Award Pockets

Every year I make a pocket lo for the kids to put their certificates, awards etc in and we keep them in their album for that year. It keeps everything in one place and also can be related to the los for the year. This year I used up stuff in my stash, like letters that I can't make words out of etc. So I might say that is another job done and I've probably just added another 3 to the list. Have a great day....
