Wedding

Mark and I went to a wedding on Saturday in Ballarat. The couple were married on their property (gum trees all around) it was lovely...they had a handfasting and we were all given bottles of bubble s to blow...it looked great... back at the reception the tables were covered in gum leavves...the smell that kept wafting up ... was amazing.

The bride and her mother cleaned and painted all the little ceramic wombats... (80 of them) and little hats for the guys and shoes for the girls...which took them over 8 months to complete.

The bridesmaids wore blue and silver. the chairs had either a blue or silver ribbon around them... the whole reception looked beautiful.

The food was yummo...we had either vegie or chicken and corn soup, turkey or lamb, cheesecake or chocolate mousse.

don't ya just love a wedding..

Broken Arm

While at footy training yesterday Eric was tackled which is to be expected and as he fell to the ground he put his arm out and snap..

We spent hours in the hospital yesterday... and had it xrayed...and the orthepedic (sp) surgeon looked at it...they were uncertain of what to do with it.. as it is only a small break but it looks as though it is bent.. so we were sent home with a back slab on his arm and have to go back in today to the fracture centre... to have it reset..so we were up at 6.30 so he could eat breakfast...

Picked up a copy of the new scrapbooks etc.. to read while I"m waiting...better grab some lollies too me thinks....

I've started my May ATC's I'm having fun with these ones..and should be finished with them soon..

April ATC's

Just finished my April ATC's ... I think the orange A looks ok.. ..

ok.. one cj and one lot of ATCs down..... 2 cj's to go..

wedding card & Belindas cj

I am getting my butt into gear, I've made a wedding card for Marks 2nd cousins wedding on 29th April.. I'm guessing it's going to be freezing in Ballarat...it's an outdoor wedding...brrrrr.. We're staying down there the night in a motel across from where the reception is... so we can stagger across the road ..hee hee..doubting that we'll make it back in time for Erics footy match at 11am on the Sunday..sorry Ezza.

Also I've done my page in Belindas cj the theme is 'scrapbooking defined'

The photos are of my kids and one of their cousins when we took a day trip down to Apollo Bay and of the fires at the Brisbane Ranges in January..not too far from our place..it's as close to a bush fire as I ever want to get..



the photos are around the wrong way..and I can't cut and paste here...grrr

cj's and more cj's

I finished this in Alisons cj a few days ago..but have only just scanned it ..slack slack slack.. the topic is 'life changing moments' and will be posting this to Raylene today..

I still have Belindas cj to do, and yesterday Kathryns and Sallys turned up...what a great idea Sallys is... fantastic.. I"m not going to say what it is ...incase anyone that hasn't had it reads this..

I so have to pull my finger out... and do something with Belindas cj and this months ATCs with the theme Woman...(see stamp used above) I'll be using this... as far as I know ... I'm the only other person with this stamp appart from the woman that made it... cool huh.. she (the stamp) doesn't have a name... I"ll have to ask Dani what it is called...next time I'm in there.

Hope everyone had a lovely easter break ... ours was busy.. Friday night we had a friend/ex SIL and her kids s tay over... went through a few bottles of pink and started on Marks scotch... big mistake for me...I felt like crap the next day... woke up at 5am with the spins and feeling very very sick... later that morning all the girls jumped into Caz's car and headed to the market, where we bought some last minute cheap but quality easter eggs so the kids could have an egg hunt..I never think to take photos at easter time...why?

Saturday night we caught up with other friends we all aggreed it wouldn't be a late one... but we were still sitting there at 1am ..lol ....we decided to go to a sale that was on in Torquay on the Sunday..what a great sale it was.. jeans $10, skirts , shirts and bags$10, $5 wallets, guys watches $10 girls watches $5 and jackets $30.... came out with a garbage bag full.. they were seconds though I don't think there were many... or samples...no biggie..

Monday we went to Melb for Marks nieces 16th birthday...we were 1 1/2 hours late...lol.. 'cos we stopped at Werribee plaza to get Dave a new phone that he HAD TO HAVE THAT DAY.

what kind of soul are you?

saw this on Elizabeths blog..and had a go

You Are a Visionary Soul

You are a curious person, always in a state of awareness.Connected to all things spiritual, you are very connected to your soul.You are wise and bright: able to reason and be reasonable.Occasionally, you get quite depressed and have dark feelings. You have great vision and can be very insightful.In fact, you are often profound in a way that surprises yourself.Visionary souls like you can be the best type of friend.You are intuitive, understanding, sympathetic, and a good healer. Souls you are most compatible with: Old Soul and Peacemaker Soul

What Kind of Soul Are You?

Happy Easter
