KIWI SCRAPS

Kiwi Scraps was awesome, the tutor were sooo nice it is amazing how they think out side of the square and something I would never think to use on page they can make look fantastic....I am so glad I went and I even sewed and enjoyed it....this is bog for me I hate sewing and will run a mile to avoid it...when the buttons fall of my DH work pants I sew them on that tight so they wont fall of again that he has trouble doing them up......LOL....he doesn't complain though otherwise he as to do it himself..LOL.

I might some great people don't remember a lot of name but everyone was so nice and I got to meet and say hello to a couple of ladies that are coming to the retreat which was great.

On the Friday night we finished our class with Rhonna OMG was that a fast class but fantastic she is so bright and bubbly.....anyway we finished our class late then went to the Jailhouse rock Cafe it was very yummy ......I haven't got pics they are on Julie's camera....will get them later.

Holidays

We are back from hols it was great lots of fishing and relaxing and fun stuff....I just read my last blog which I very quickly typed at the Internet cafe and found about 5 spelling mistakes I am hopeless...LOL... We arrived home at about 3.30ish this afternoon, I am just charging my camera so I can down load the photo's. I have just put the last load on washing on yuk that is the worst part about coming home, we have a caravan so everything has to be unpacked washed, cleaned you get the picture...But the good news I arrived home to lots of boxes of new stock yeah I cant wait to unpack them and load them up very fun... I also have to say a BIG THANK YOU to Julie she has been looking after all the orders, shop and everything for me whilst I have been away.

So back to my holiday it was very fun, the park we stayed at had a huge oval and play ground just over the road so we spent lots of time playing. Jacobs favourite thing for the weekend was sliding his new cars the Easter Bunny brought him down the slide and trying to catch a fish by hitting the water with the fishing rod and then saying "OH I can't catch a fish", it was so funny then he would go back to digging in the sand.

The kids and DH spent lots of time swimming it was to cold for me except when we went out to the sand bar the water was beautiful and warm and there was lots of little sea urchins (spelling) which the kids thought were just great.

One night Paul and Jessie went soldier crab hunting she kept them for the night to look at and then we took them back the next day Jacob was very excited because there were thousands running around when we took them back. Jessie is funny we are not ever allowed to eat anything we catch not even fish she thinks it is cruel and mean she is very cute about things like that.

Back to reality now I have to get organised to be back in Sydney for work on Tuesday, hopefully I will only have to go down one day this week.

Hope everyone's had a good weekend and enjoying there holidays.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone, even if I am one day late..lol... We are on hols at the moment so I am just up at the internet cafe checking emails etc....We are having a great time it is just a shame about the weather it can't make up it's mind if it wants to rain or be sunny so it make it really hard when you are trying to plan stuff for the day. We had friends who came up for the weekend the poor things it rained the whole time they set up and the whole time they packed down the in between wasn't to bad there was some sun.

My DH and the kids are back at the park having a rest we have been for a big walk along the path and just across from our park it a huge oval and play ground so we have been playing cricket.

The kids had a great day yesterday the Easter Bunny left them an Easter Egg hunt which Jess was sooo happy about cause she didn't think he would because we are on hols....how sweet.... I've got lots of pics but cant load any of them because I left the usb cord at home...derhhh.

Better get going will blog more when I am back from hols next Sunday...

Sale, Sale, Sale

I am been a very busy girl, I have been organising my Shop Sale, this is the first big sale the shop has had so I have been busy going through the cart and remarking the prices plus I had heaps of new stock come in which I was very excited about ( have to day I love the Cosmo Cricket but naked chipboard) and figured it wouldn't be a sale unless I added some of them in to. I am at Maitland Markets tomorrow so I have been trying to get organised and pack the car...yuk.. that is the worst part I love going and talking to everyone I just hate packing and unpacking the car.

I have been spending lots of time playing around with the website the last couple of days and thought is was about time I put and Avatar on it, I am so slack I mean to do it ages ago when I first started the forum and just never got back to it... but the go thing was whilst I was whilst I was playing around I finally figured out how to change my user name...which I was really happy about... I have to say a huge thanks to Kelley for telling me how to put the images on the site I am so daft I didn't know that it was sort of the same as adding you blinkies on....derrrr.... The people who created the site ages ago were meant to show me and after hassling them lots they finally did on to discover that they was they normally do it didn't work because of the programing or something so the home page has been so plain but as I said thanks to Kelley I now know how to put images on it...yeah. I put a quick one on the other night but when I get home after the markets I plan on putting on some pics of the Mini Hanger Kits that Julie done they are so cute and we have some left over from the workshops.

I order a heap of new stock yesterday all the new MME, Daisy D's, lots of new flowers and heaps more.. Hopefully tomorrow night I will get a chance and I am going to do the order for the new Fancy Pants and MM.

We took the kids today to see "Meet the Robinson's" it was good the kids really liked it, I think Jacob was more into it than Jessie, she said she would like to go and see the new Mr Bean movie but I think her dad can take he to that one I am not a Mr Bean fan....

OOHHH...Before I go if you get a chance go to the shop Gallery and check out the entries for the DT Comp.... I can't wait to see what everyone's for this challenge.....
