I've been playing around on this site.. it's got some neat little games...lurve the clothes...if only they made them on fat mumma sizes..

Melbourne get together

Went to Melbourne yesterday...on one of the fast trains...I personally think they are not all that great.. the seats are crampy and I don't think it cut off that much time at all..as it got to Yarraville station it had to slow down anyway because of the electric trains... I had to get off at 'Southern Cross station' formally 'spencer st station' catch another to Flinders st station and walked over to southbank to meet up with Melissa, Sarah, Carolyn, Angie, Kass and Sam...where we had lunch....the salads all looked and smelt yummo.. lol...Kass had a cheese pizza...which I think had the waitress in a bit of a spin...'oh you can't change the pizza' lol...
It was lovely to catch up with the girls and meet Carolyn.

I'm sure we left there about 4ish... well I didn't get home till 6... had to wait 40 minutes for the train home.


I can never get these link things working..but I did this quiz
and here is what it came up with.


Lost Emily

Which Emily Strange are you?
brought to you by

girl scouts

On Wednesday Emily went to Girl Scouts... she's going for the next few weeks...to see if she likes it, she has a few friends that go so she won't be alone ..plus it gives her something to do... Don't have to get a uniform just yet..
Will post a pic of her in her uniform if and when she decides she'll keep going.

Heading in to Harvey Normans today... the machines were all down the other day when I went... hopefully they'll be up and working today..

Need to get a new sleeping bag for David to use ...he's going on an over night hike with school, so it has to be light weight..so looks like I'll be heading into Rays also...this is part of their 'connections' program ...he's done raft building at Torquay and will also be doing mountain bike riding and rock climbing..
how good is that !!

I've been pulling photos out of those crappy photo albums.. OMG some of them have curled... :( I'm hoping that while they are sitting in the photo box...that they will straighten up a little... if not..can you iron them do you think???

Valentines day

Happy Valentines day !

Were you lucky enough to get a card ??.. not me.. AGAIN..

I did make one for Mark.. and gave it to him with a box of Ferrero chocolates.. I was going to make a mini album but the time just flew..and I still haven't got photos copied ..

speaking of photos.. Harvey Norman has a special on at the moment... I'm assuming its all HN Stores... it goes for 15 days... it's 15c per photo... (6x4').. I need to get copies done of our Qld trip for the kids.. so now is a good time. .. huh.. might have to scan some old photos ... save them onto disc.. and get them done too

Rachel Greig did a random challange on her blog the other day...today I got an email from her...saying to expect a rak..I got two guesses right...lol..along with 3 other girls..

global assault and tradtions

Ok sigh of relief David decided he was ok about not going to Global assault...yay..so I saved some $$$ and travel time.. he's gone rabbiting instead..

oh and looking at Angies cj... wow.. I thought it would be dead easy but..its proving more difficult..
I've looked up tradtions.. it comes up with christmas, easter , halloween tradtions... same ol' same ol..but everyone celebrates christmas, and easter in similar ways I would imagine...so was looking for something a bit different...still searching.... my mum used to traditionally eat fish ...every friday... I don't do this... roast every sunday... I don't do this either.. do I have any traditions ????

I'd love to celebrate Halloween..but here in Aus our Autumn isn't in October the same as other countries that celebrate it....we'd have to have our Halloween in April/May ?

ohh and Emilys friend doesn't have to get her kidney removed... just unblocked.. the surgeon said...she's better off leaving it in... even though it's only working at about 28%...So she'll be going into hospital for about a week..then she'll have a few weeks at home I'd imagine...recovering...so now...I better get busy to make her a journal...

circle journal swap

caught up with Angie and Sam yesterday at Sams place...I'd met one of Sams children before but this time got to see the other two...and met Angies two...lol...little Georgia is on the go all the time... so cute.. :)

I now have Angies lovely circle journal ...now to get stuck into it.. her theme is 'traditions'

David is wanting to go to Global Assault on Saturday... not even sure if I can get a ticket still and yes ok you can laugh now... I don't know how to get to the Rod Laver Arena... I get lost easy.. lol.. I can just imagine Coby and Wendy laughing if they are reading this..but hey... when you get lost..you discover new things don't you !!!!
So I have arranged to have a navigator for Saturday morning incase I can get a ticket...lol...but shhh David doesn't know that I'm being sneaky.

I've been downloading some brushes for photoshop..some of them look so cool.. found some new sites today ...will post them once I'm done..

Dave's hair cut

I got around to doing this photo finally... this BG skate pp is perfect.. as Dave is a skater...

Layout

Ok so the pic is a bit wonky....and I'm not sure if it needs more up the top half or not... what do you think...?

ohh and I forgot to rub out the greylead lines...lol..

Now I'm collecting things to alter a journal for Emilys friend who more than likely will have to go into hospital to have a kidney removed...lots of glitter and stickers and some pockets to go on some pages tied together with ribbons... hopefully it will give her something to do while she's in hospital... poor little girl.

Do boys like Pink?

Caught Dave napping...it was soo hot and he had this on ..it's Emilys fluffy hat.

I can see that there is at least one comment here but for some reason I can't view it via here..but was able to read it through my email... hence the edited post.. to say that it is a hat :)
Pretty in pink would have been good Wendz... I'll have to add that on somewhere maybe..

stuff

well the tree felling went well as you can see I'm still here...lol..


I popped into look at Dawn Stans new blog and she had link to here

I'm mexican food

spicy yet dependable
you pull punches but people still love you.

Please Lord

please protect my house....lol.. Mark is out the front cutting down the pine tree...and I'm scared that it will fall onto the house... and if it does... there goes my scrap room ...and me cos it's where I am right now..lol.. It's making me feel a little more nauseous than I have been feeling... with this stupid inner ear infection ...

I'll have to go and take some pics of the tree coming down... I think.

If I don't return you know I've had a tree fall on me..lol..
