Scrapping with Marni

Good morning....sounds cheery doesn't it however I have just got out of bed after a really great night of scrapping. Thanks to Marni, Kristy, and Kylie at our table for making last night a productive and social occasion. I love Friday Frenzy and no matter how tired I am I seem to spark up for this event. Roll on 12/9/08. As promised I did a layout from the Tarisota August pack. I combined colours and patterns that I probably would not have done before. (Learning to think outside the box). Have a really great day.......

Tarisota Pack

Received my August Basic Grey kit from Tarisota on Wednesday. Fantastic pack. Can't wait until tonight at our Friday Frenzy to start using some of the pack. The ideas CD is wonderful and I have printed some to take with me but will have it up on the screen when scrapping at home. Hopefully I can show you a lo tomorrow.

Terrific Tuesday

Well here I am again on my day off......one day it will be a day off. Did the farm books this morning as well as picked up lollies for athletics, picked up jewellery that was being fixed. Helped out with computer class at school this afternoon. We've done the homework, and only have the hem to go on another costume. I am only half way through the second teacher present which should have been finished today, but alas no. The pictures are of a work in progress.

After tea I'm off to adult jazz class and then I might think about what's needed for tomorrow before flopping into bed. (At least it's never dull around here.) Have a great week.

Monday Monday....

Well the start of another week.....Sunday was spent helping my mum put together a book for her 50th school reunion. As a favour to me she also helped me out by supervising my sewing of dance costumes. I can use a computer, she can use a sewing machine... we make a great team.

Well I'm happy to sew the costumes are nearly done and the eisteddfod is not until October.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a little less stressful. I've started another teacher present so hope to get it almost complete. Hope you all had a great day. Here's another lo for you to look at. Shame he is 8 years old now (or will be in 2 weeks). They were such cute babies.

Survival - Another Week

OK...I move a motion...Mothers are the greatest endurance people on earth.

We have survived another week which started badly with a bad chest infection but ended delightfully with the kids being in the 2008 Book Week Parade. I've included photos...thanks to Nanna, as I was taking the video for the Library. (The library is next door to my post office and I often get conned into doing strange things). I estimate there would have been over 500 kids not to mention several 100 Mums, Dads, Grandparents and others. The parade grows in strength each year and everyone really has a great time. Talk to you all soon!!!!!

Book Week

Walkerston Library celebrates the culmination of Book Week with a parade down the main street. The kids dress as characters and everyone gets to eat cake and drink cordial afterward. This year Kendall (No. 1 son) wanted to go as Mater...like Tomata without the T, from cars.

Thank God for creative Grandparents and a Dad. The photo shows Kendall ready for the parade on Friday, 22, hopefully he won't find it too heavy. (The things we do to please!!!)

Olympic Contribution?

I attended Friday Frenzy at Magical Memories last night and would like to share with you my contribution to Olympic memories. (Photos compliments of the olympic web site) LO using opals and glitter. Enjoy your weekend. Go Grant Hackett!!!
