Wonderful Day ......

No sleep in's for us today as we were all up early to go to Junee for lunch.
My sister Carol and her dh were up for the weekend from Melbourne and her dd Rachel and hubby were down from Newcastle , so we all went over to Mum and Dad's for lunch...
Mum's lunch was yummy as always and we all came home stuffed....
It was lovely to all catch up and the 2 little ones Ryder and Lachlan were spoilt with lots of kisses and cuddles....
Great day....and hopefully will get some scrapping done this afternoon....
Hope everyone enjoys the long weekend.......

I have been a very slack blogger........BUT I just seem to have 100 things to do and no time in which to do them all....Anyway thought I should do a bit of catching up.....At LSBS I was involved in the secret squirrel swap and my parcel arrived last week ........ This is a photo of my very special pressie from my very special secret raker (lisap)......
I love this parcel of goodies so much and it was just such a lovely surprise.....I dont normally use these colours, but have fallen in love with them all and I cant wait to make something extra special. I am thinking I may even take the lot to the retreat and work on it there.....
Thanks again Lisa.....

I am trying hard to get organised for the trip to Sydney for LSBS retreat next week...I have a heap of things to finish off and lots to get organised. I did make a start on my ATC cards and just need the TIME to get stuck in and finish them off...The idea is in my head for the name tag....

I went to the movies last night with dd Erin , dd Ashley and dil Jody last night to see Mamma Mia again.....I loved it just as much and laughed just as hard......I am so going to buy this when it comes out on dvd...

I had my 2 favourite boys for the day yesterday also which was fun , but ohhhh so tiring..(must be getting old I think)...They were both good though, just so full on....Loved all the cuddles !!!!!

I have such a busy weekend coming up. On friday afternoon I am off to the Craft Alive show here in Wagga Wagga with my spesh friend Sandra....We go every year and every year we both walk out with a s$$t load of stuff!!!!! Just cant help ourselves...

On Saturday morning there are 5 of us going to all the garage sales...I have never been before, but excited that maybe I will find some treasures and lots of bargains......At lunch time I am off to get a haircut...Saturday night the 5 of us are all catching up for a scrapping marathon which is always such fun.......

Bring on the weekend and more importantly bring on the following weekend so I am able to catch up with some very very special friends....

Cheers Marg xxx

A great day !!!!!!

A great day today with lots of happy mail!!!!
I awoke this morning to 2 lovely rak's in my mail...
The first one was from the lovely Alison....She sent me a little atc size countdown calendar (for the retreat) and some great Kaiser bling in orange which I didnt have!......Thanks so much Ali , it made my day.....
Secondly the gorgeous Carol (honeywine) sent me a rak for the christmas in July which included a yummy recipe card and a bag full of awesome chrissy bits and pieces.....I love it so much......Thanks Carol.....
I am so looking forward to this years retreat as it just feels like I know everyone so much better.......Bring it on I say!!!!!
I am hoping tomorrow that I can get all the jobs done for the retreat....like the atc cards and the name tag.....I also hope to get into town and buy some new PJ's!!!!!!

Shell , Di and I went to the movies tonight to see Mama Mia......It was awesome so if anyone needs a good belly laugh then you must go!!!!! Loved it so much that I am going again next week with the dd's.....
Hope everyone has a great weekend....
Cheers......Marg x

A great weekend.....

Another great week-end at LSBS Cybercrop......I got three layouts completed and a card so pretty happy with myself.....Have uploaded 2 layouts I finished and for some reason cant upload the others......

Had a really nice day today.....Mum and Dad came over for lunch as well as my brother sil and two of their gorgeous grandchildren......It was great to catch up with them all again .Erin and Ryder also came and Lachie was here as I was babysitting him.....

So excited.....

I am so excited today !!!!!!!
As some of you would be aware......I was unsure about whether or not I could go to the retreat in Sydney this year for LSBS as so many things have been happening in my life with the new job etc etc.....Well anyway no need for me to worry about it anymore as I can go !!!!! I cant wait and now I can join in with all the others and be excited......
Its going to be very strange this year as my good friends Di and Ruth and of course Shell cannot make it this year.....Di and Ruth have some trips on in August and Shell has so much going on in her life with her daughter in the navy etc etc....Ayway we all get very busy at times and this particular weekend in August just doesnt suit them.....It will be so strange for me to make this trip without them , but I am just excited to be able to go.....
I am now going to be travelling up with Jen (spikeyjen) and I cant wait as it should be so much fun.....She is travelling here to Wagga Wagga on the thursday night and staying with us , then we will travel up together on the friday......
This has to be the best news for ages for me ......... bring on august !!!!!!
Cheers

Cleaning bug.....

I am having the biggest clean up in my scraproom today, but just thought I needed a break for lunch and have a quick catch up here.....
I was very excited on friday morning when I checked in at LSBS and found I won a $25 voucher for a layout I did for the sketch challenge....I loved this layout, and very excited with another win.....(made my day)...
We had the kids for dinner last night which was lovely....Little Ryder has just cut his first tooth (cant believe all that is happening!!!!)
I went for a cuppa with the girls this morning to Gloria's for Shell's birthday....She had a great time opening all the pressies......
Well must get into this cleaning up again....I got a new scrap desk yesterday from the second hand shop (in great nic and BIG) which is what I was after so it will be nice to actually see it after I finish cleaning up....
Cheers
