challenge 1



this LO is for a challenge on Scrapping the Scraps.

which was to not use too much embellishments...but I think I may have blew it by adding the flowers...lol..it just looked a little bare..

Paperific and a new shop...

On Friday I jumped on a train and headed in to Melb to go to Paperific at the Telstra Dome.... IMO ...it was not as big as last years.... lots of chipboard and stamps...which was good... bought some nice things... and a cropadile..which I've been putting off...gee its good..!!

Will be interesting to see where it's at next year ..

Today..... I did a bit more shopping.....at Pink Hibiscus ...and I was their first customer..yay me !!
They actutally don't have a lot in at the moment ..but will be interesting to see what else comes in.
there ya go Sam ...a little plug for you.. lol

I've jumped on over to scrap pile too..and have done their first BoM challenge

Also did a layout for a challenge on scrapping the scraps...its late but done anyways..

WW & life

On Monday I had my WW weigh in, and...........................................I lost 1.2kg !!
so that's a total of 1.5 kg in 2 weeks.
I'm trying to get out on my bike as much as I can...but that wind today would have been blowing me all over the place.

Finally finished the album that I was making for Joe and Helen ..yay.. I got a photo of everyone ...even those that don't usually pose for photos... and I made sure I saved them to disc ....lol..

Last night we went out for tea with friends and family...the meals were lovely and good price too, for every adult meal you got a kids meal free...and underlined meals were $9.90.

Tomorrow we're going off to the airport to see Joe, Helen and Bronwyn off as they fly off to the US to live.

Friday I'm thinking that I'll go to paperific...at the Telstra Dome...Emily would love to come with me... so thats making me think...maybe Saturday would be better...but..at the same time I don't want to spend my whole time looking out for her to make sure she's where I can see her.. and not look at the goodies... soooo best I go Friday. A friend will pick Em up from school and I'll get Eric to ride ...guess David will have to walk..lol

Looking at Kathryns and Ngaires pages for 'so you think you know me' has inspired me to do more pages in my BoM... and I still need to finish my ATCs for this month the theme is 'B'

catch up

The last time I posted... I was feeling a bit so so..

Didn't lose much in my first week of WW but I think that may have been due to a bad weekend full of party pies, sausage rolls and UDL's ....I had 6 kids last Saturday night.... let me just say it was Noisy...lol

During the week I was around helping my Brother and his wife clean their house before they head off to the US.... they leave this Thursday ... I'm giving the kids a day off school so we can go to the airport to see them off.

Friday night just gone...we had another family night with a bbq and a slide viewing... I was very good and took a piece of fish ...which was sooo huge... so shared it around.. the others sat eating CHEESECAKE !!! and I sat with vegie sticks and salsa....I did how ever give in and eat 2 malteasers...and 5 little burger rings...but I did break them in half and shook the calories out...lol...and washed them down with a diet drink.. I think next time I might take a yoghurt with me.

In the newest copy of WW with Fergie on the front....it has the Australian finalists for weight loss... my sisters friend Stella is one of them...yay for Stella...

On Saturday I took Eric and Em to the show...Dave went with THE BOYS... we were there for 8 and a half hours....it was pitch black in the car park.... and the bloomin signs that marked the aisle where we parked were black!!...pulling out ...I hit one.. and knocked it to the ground ...oooops !!... all the way home I'm thinking...geez I hope I haven't marked the car... sure enough there is a mark...but thankfully its on the nudge bar ....phew....

Sunday I headed down to Eastern beach.... for the Mini field of women... just to have a bit of a look.... they'd chosen to put the silhouettes into the shape of a wave.... (being near the waterfront)...some of the messages were beautiful...there were alot of nurses there so I heard..as well as families affected by breast cancer.


Tonight is weigh in night...hopefully I've lost a bit more..

Weight watchers

I started on Monday...and went to my first meeting Monday night... it is free registration at the momemt...so saved $33.

Not sure how I'm going to go....I start off well but then lose motivation....I think it would be good for all of us to eat a little healthier... went walking yesterday ..haven't been today as yet.

I'm going to get David to fix my bike up on the weekend so I can go riding..

wildlife park

Last weekend we went to Ballarat wildlife park...isn't the koala sooo cute and what about the roo hugging her joey....awww and I had to throw in a lizard one... it turned out not too bad through the glass I think...
The weather was lovely..














OMG...... does this child ever stop talking... Emily has not stopped all morning... yap yap yap yap... about everything and nothing....lol.. it's doing my head in..

Who's started christmas shopping yet??? me....!!! yes... I have started... I have one KK pressie...and some stuff for the kids...lets see if I can keep it up..and not have to do the mad rushing around the day before like last year...

Better get my ass into gear and make a card.... we have an engagement party to go to later today (my niece) Nicole's and her fiance Andy's.
