Catch Up

Okay this is a quick catch up.... Our DT Comp has finished and we have 3 very talented ladies who have joined our DT Jane, Kellie & Kelley...their links are on the sidebar. I am very excited about these ladies joining S'n'B. I done Kellie's class Friday night I had heaps of fun and I was really in the mood after the class to scrap and get the project finished and then Jacob woke up after only being asleep for about 15 min....so my good intentions went out the window...LOL.

I have been in Sydney heaps lately for work...yuk...I shouldn't say that I enjoy my job and I get to work from home heaps so I am pretty lucky....I just don't like it when I have to go on Friday the traffic is hell. I can't remember if I mentioned it before by Kellie H has started a new site Scrap the Girls it is fantastic it has some great ideas and LO.

OK big news Julie's Mini Hanger Project...the Pink one...is going to be published in Scrapbooking Memories - Handmade Mag.....I am sooo excited for her I keep telling everyone...I'll do all the bragging for her....she is very clever.

I have been trying to update the website I start working on the DT Page and the Newsletter Page on the site and you might have noticed I changed my blog a bit, I was getting bored with it. That's about it I am going to go and get some beauty sleep...OMG I need some...LOL...I am off to Sydney for the next 2 days.

He is soooo cute...sometimes...LOL...
I had pretty easy going weekend which was nice.....Friday night I done the Free Online class with Sue which was lots of fun, she done a really good job...apart from that we done nothing just relaxed and went swimming at the Heated Pool....Jessie is not much of a sports person but she loves swimming so we try and take her regularly I don't mind though I love we all love swimming.

This Friday night Jane is holding an FREE Online class it is a gorgeous "Little Book" the class is free how every kits are available just click on the LINK it should be lots of fun....I am still trying of some fun games???

Tagged..and our Free Online Classes

Tagged!!!

As promised I finally got back to completing my "Tagged" questions I have been tagged by the lovely Jane. Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

1. I always really wanted to be a chef but end up doing Accounts instead.

2. I love to traveling, holiday, camping etc. We own a caravan and I love going on hols and travelling I think I have a bit of Gypsy in me...LOL..and I think it has rubbed off on to the kids.....I even love just going for long drives and sight seeing. If we had the money I would pack the kids up and travel around Australia for 12 months when I was about 11, my mum and dad took me out of school for a couple of months and we travelled right up the top of QLD, across to NT and down through VIC and SA it was awesome I loved it.

3. I LOVE doughnuts....it like a really bad addiction..when I was pregnant with Jacob I drove 45min out of my way on the way home from work one afternoon to get Krispy Kremes cause I had the worst craving and then ate that many of them on the way home that I made myself sick.

4. I am really clumsy, I always spill, break and damage things or sit my LO on wet paint or dimensional glue...you get my drift..LOL

5. I am a cold frog...I even sleep with a blanket in summer.

6. My favourite breakfast is Poached eggs with Worcestershire sauce, bacon and lots of sauteed mushrooms we use to have a hot breakfast every Sunday, but have been a bit slack lately.

7. My idea of a perfect day....and I am sure alot of mums can relate to this would be to have a whole day through to the night, home by myself to do everything that I have been trying to get done for weeks...pretty sad hah my life must be boring...LOL

I think everyone I know has been tagged so...I am sorry but I am going to break the rules and not tag anyone...


Okay - now that I have done that here is a quick catch up....My Internet died on Thursday....I tried everything to fix it but nothing worked so I called in the big guns (local computer guy) and he couldn't fix it either so it had to be formatted ....I was soooo not impressed the computer guy was great though he even came out to my house on a Sat, so I have sat last night and today trying to catch up and load all the programs back on.

Happy late Mothers Day for all the mums out there I hope you all got spoilt...we had a lovely day I got a yummy hot breakfast and we went shopping then took the kids to the heated pool and then took my mum out for Dinner last night...it was nice we were going to go the Hunter Valley Gardens but decided not to as I figured it would be pretty busy.
