Let me start by saying that as a general right I don't drink. Not that I have anything against a glass...or so of wine, it's just that I have sort of figured out that I am silly enough without it, and ofcourse with 4 children I don't ussally have the time or opportunity. But Saturday night was a rare occassion. My beautiful parents had bought a table at the Beenleigh PCYC charity dinner, and seeing as there are 10 of us adults in the immediate family (me,mum and dad, my sisters, and our partners) it sort of became a family event. Mum and Dad picked us up, and the kids were babysat, and I had a few glasses of champange...and then a few more.....ho hum. Probably the first time in years I have drank more that I should have, and boy did I pay for it yesterday, but at the time it was great!! I think as a family we all laughed so much our sides hurt. My sister Katie's Hubby got up and danced with me, poor guy, totally bullied him into that one!!
Anyways I took my camera and although the pic isn't great (cheak out the bottle pointing right at my Mummy's chin) it's been a long time since my sisters and I had a photo with out Mum and Dada, so I thought I would share

 

Well I guess that's it...thanks the heavens school goes back tommorrow, I have spent all day cleaning up and doing all my good little wifey chores so that tommorrow, the first day by myself in 3 WEEKS!!!, I can create something...well that's the plan anyway!!

Creating Hope

, a truely inspirational and beautiful idea

"Imagine if we gathered together 100 mixed media artists from all over and asked them to create a small charm or tag in their very own favourite style.

Imagine if their message was one of positive affirmation.

Imagine if we then took those pieces and used them to create a fabulous one of a kind dress form.

Imagine how beautiful and special that would be.

Imagine the chance to own that piece."

Feeling uplifted??...I know I am

Now when I was a little Girl.....

this may well have freaked me out!!!, but it is all soooo Lily it's frightening. Her Grandfather built this bed for her and her Daddy painted it,The dressing table and bedside, used to be my grandmothers, then my mums , then mine, and now hers. Just a lick of white gloss and some glass knobs...nice huh??? so now the room is (in the words of Little Einstiens) Mission Completion....and I don't think it gets any more 'girlie' than this!!!

 

 

 

 

*sigh* oh to be a 5 year old princess...I am SURE I never was!!!

Mental Heath Warning

This stuff will have your cheese sliding clear off your cracker!!!!!

 

It's called K'Nex and let me serve as a warning to you- DO NOT give it to a 4 year old boy!! no matter how construction minded and clever you might think he is or how much he enjoys it. This stuff gets EVERWHERE and I am quite sure it multiplys and divides on contact with floors. You will find tiny bits of it under the soft tender bits of your feet, in the washing machine and for some unknown reason in the bathroom sink.
On the other hand, you might consider putting it away and giving it to your grandchildren, I'm all for a bit of revenge!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying the school holidays!!!....LOL

Happy Birthday Baby!!!

 

Check out this little guy!!!, It's his 4th birthday today, and his poor mummy can hardly believe it herself. The last 4 years seemed to have gone by in a flash, but on the other hand it's hard to remember life before this little fella. My baby that just sort of just showed up!!. VERY exciting morning here, as you can imagine. Monster trucks and Ben 10 stuff flying everywhere, not to mention a mountain of blue iced cupcakes for the kindy morning tea.
He's a cheeky little devil, my beautiful Ronin, and I wouldn't have him any other way!!!

Where have I been...hmmm...???

Well over the last weekend I was lucky enough to have been teaching at the Scrapbook and papercrafts convention here in Brissy. Doing some clases for the FAB girls at Scrapbooking Memories, and let me tell you I had a Ball!!!. The Classes went really well (well from my end anyways) and I would really LOVE to thank all the beautiful womens that came along, each and everyone one was an absolute pleasure to teach and and really nice chicks to chat with, made me feel so comfortable...even during the odd brain blank or coughing fit..:):):) Also had the pleasure of helping out a bit in the Fiskars classroom, with Jilly. So I was pretty darn busy, good way to be sometimes, but if I missed saying hello, I am sorry...:(

From my end it was nice to hang out and catch up with friends and make a few new ones, scrapbooking ladies certainly know how to have a laugh, something I really have needed after the last couple of months stresses

Anyways, back to reality now I guess, unpack all the boxes in my scraproom, and clean up the house too I suppose...Kelly just doesn't seem to see the same things I do, but how he misses the trail od monstertrucks and barbie dolls down the hallway I will never know...LOL

The Great Coat

This is my 14 year old son....whoooping great geek, in his most prized possession....I just LOVE him to bits right now!!!

 

 

 

For ages now he has been telling me that he wanted a trenchcoat, and while I was West End the other week I went into a Vintage clothes shop that I passed by, and here was this coat. I wasn't sure about it myself, I mean I thought it was a bit cool, but I am not a 14 year old, so I brought him back with me on the Saturday. And my poor boy fell in love...:). Now he has researched the damn thing and apparently it is actually called a 'great coat' and the army stopped issuing this particular type in the mid 70's, so this one is probably Vietnam war issue, although he wore it to scholl today for 'dress differntly' day and his english teacher thinks it might be WW2....who knows. All I know is my son has his own sense of style...and I like it...lol, I mean how GORGEOUS does he look!!!!?????

enough gushing...have a great weekend

I wish I had duck feet

I so hate the rain....and there is just so much of it right now. For some reason rainy days always put me in a crabby mood. I hate the 'wet feeling' of everything. I think I could happily live in a desert!!

Anyways...whinge over, how pretty is this!!!.............

 

All my life I have had a deep love of chanaliers, yet have never had one. Kelly painted Lily's room a couple of weeks ago and my parents bought her this, which my Daddy (an electrician) put up for her over her bed.
No wonder the girl BELIEVES she is a princess....and behaves accordingly....:)
