ATC's

Coby has been setting some ATC challenges on BB ...one was to use a pocket and hide something we treasure in it.. I had a little brown pocket that I'd been given ages ago ..this was the perfect size to use on an ATC and I had a tag from Emily's Converse's...I put some photos of the kids on the tag...used some of the lovely Cherry Arte rubons and some Basic Grey rubons (see below)

The second challenge was in the theme of decorate, Christmas. I used a string of little christmas lights some BG pp, SU stamp, Rubons, ink and kindy glitz. (see below)

the other ATC is just one that I made using some pics cut out of MM pp ( I think it was MM) some BG pp with kindy glitz and a K&Co rubon

Someone showed me a link to this..it's a bit of a laugh.

The kids have their concert on this evening. I must get things organized to take.. I'm not going overboard with the food...just thought a cooked chook on rolls would be nice.. but need to find a huge rug to take for the kids to sit on and some chairs for us guys...(Mark, Karyn and I)

I think we have a group of 5 families sitting together so it should be nice..

pity we can't take a nice bottle of wine..lol.

ohhh and a lovely lady reminded me that it was breast cancer month....so.... don't forget to check your boobs ladies... ;)

ikea

Well we didn't win the cash at the club on Friday night...nor any of the raffles...so we're off there again next Friday...and the cash is up to $1800..wouldn't that be nice...

Yesterday a friend (Karen) and I went off to IKEA she bought a bookshelf unit for her daughters room which will fit some baskets in it..where her clothes are stored..it should look great..Might have to get some of these units for Ems and Erics rooms.


I bought a coffee table and a side table.. the coffee table we had we like...but it's huge... and the new one is smaller and has a shelf underneath for magazines and the remotes. The side table is to put over near the other couch, near the window....for the two tables it only cost me $83.95.. both in the black brown .

I'm sure Sofi had been rolling in something that was no longer living...when we got home last night..she went straight into the laundry tub for a wash...she smells sooo much better now...norty kitty..

On Wednesday a friend (Karen) and I kept our kids home from school and took them over to Knox City to see Skateboarding Pro Bam Margera...it took us about 1 and a half hours to get there...our boys stood in the queue for 5 hours only to have wankers push through the barriers (yes there was security there somewhere)..where are they when you need them..bit like a sales assistant huh..

The crowd got a bit rowdy..a fight broke out.. cops were called (about 20 of them) meanwhile... a girls dress was set on fire.... a bag was set on fire...our kids were offered to buy drugs in the queue..



With half an hour to go..and knowing that some stupid bastards had been pushing in, in front our kids I was starting to get a bit vocal..lol..yelling out .'get the queue moving'... I think Karen may have been a little embarrassed lol..sorry Karen..



Bam left the stage at 5.30 and that was it ...show over.. we found our boys ..and the looks of disappointment and frustration on their faces...esp...Davids upset me...so now I was pissed off..lol... I launched into attack mode...at let rip at security..if they had of been doing their job properly...the losers wouldn't have been able to burst through the barriers...and push through to the front....

It was poorly organized ...

It was great to see Bam and yes he is just as cute IRL as he is on the screen... spewing we didn't really get any great photos of him from where I was in the crowd..

but ...in the end there was a nice security guard who felt sorry for Karens little boy ..who was in tears...because he didn't get Bams signature...and he was probably dead tired...so the guy went and got 2 posters signed for us.



We were all exhausted after that...then we had to bloody drive home again....I was laying in bed by 9.30...which is not my bed time at all..



Yesterday I went to Melb with my Niece Jess to the 'wheat and gluten free fair'

bit much to get in..I think @ $15...then you have to buy things in there...



Tried rice milk...which wasn't too bad..better than soy ...bleah. tried lots of different wheat/gluten free products and some yummo biscuits that were also dairy free. I bought Mark some Maize pasta...for $8 (500g) but it is nice.. we sampled that one ..



While I was out ...Mark and Mark (a friend/Karens hubby) were building a cover to go over the caravan....They have all the frame up the sheets just need to go on now...and the guttering.



I made Paella for all of us for tea...I haven't made it in awhile...and there is left overs for lunch.... I bags first bowl..lol



Pancakes for breakfast...Em just bought mine in to me.. yummo



After lunch I'm off to Debs for a Tupperware party....Jess has done 3 partys so far...this will be her 4th (I think) not too sure what I'm going to get...maybe the slice containers..or the fridge keepers...hmmm decisions...

On Saturday Emily and I went to Paperific.. in Melbourne which was held in the Pavillion at the Docklands.. we caught the train down...worked out cheaper than driving and paying for parking... it wasn't a bad walk down to the docklands from Southern Cross station...but having never been there before wasn't too sure of where to go...we were heading in the right direction though.

Met Melissa outside gave her, her tupperware, bought my ticket...Em got in free yay for being 10... Jorja was in the booth selling tickets...inside the Pavillion it was sooooo squishy...like Jess said on a KSK very much like St Kilda town hall days..

Em did two make and takes...I did one...with opals..that was interesting..I've only played with opals once...and that was heating them in an old frying pan...this was using the heat gun...me thinks me needs one of 'dem.

ooooh rain

We had a little rain yesterday afternoon...and we finally got to use our new rain gauge.... and it had the HUGE amount of 1mm....!!
There is supposed to be hail today sometime so the hairdresser told me yesterday...yes I finally got my hair cut and is it different !!...Then I had to go and buy dye...'cos I looked like a skunk, lol....it's going to take me awhile to get used to this do...after having the same one for soooooo long.

I can't quite get the hang of using a hair straightener...I seem to be all unco...it may take time too..?

Paperific starts tomorrow in Melbourne and I'm going on Saturday I hope to leave fairly early ...but when I say fairly early I don't mean 6 or 7 that wouold be rediculous ....! I'm talking 8.30 -9....I"ll be catching the train 'cos I HATE
driving in the city... outer suburbs of melb are bad enough....so it better not be freakin' raining..

Catching up with Melissa to give her, her tupperware...and hopefully will catch Ngaire and I'm not too sure who else is going...I think Miss Wendy is going too.

new phone

On Friday I got a new phone and I hate it already....I should have stuck with the Nokia...*sigh*...but instead I thought I'd go the LG...well it has the dumbest msg tones in the world...and even though my kids have bluetoothed me some tones I can't use them as my msg tones only my ring tones...and the alarm...how stupid is that... I used to have a MS song playing to wake me up..but can I do that now...no...because it's too large a file to have as an alarm...so instead you have to wake up to some stupid shitty sound that LG have put on there....oohh I know..why don't I listent to the one that says....'LG LG lifes good...LG LG'
I think NOT.
on the Nokia I could hear the phone ringing when it was set on general...but on this...I missed 2 calls and I had the volume on 7 (the highest)...so now I have it set on 'very loud' and on volume 7....i'm stuck with this freakin phone for 2 freakin years now...what a bastard....so if you have a nokia...and are thinking of changing..... DON'T... cos it sucks

plus I was hoping for a nice silver one and they sent me black...so that pissed me off right from the start...lol
