Ain't I a bit naughty!!





Hello all you beautiful personnell out there in blog land!!

I am feeling really, really good as I am now on two weeks holidays!! YES!!

This weekend I have worked on getting a few little niggly jobs done that

you never seem to get done.

Now I've included a few pics of some beautiful things. This is what happens when I've finished work & think that I'll have a little wander around the street for a look!

Firstly I went into Amali to see what new things Emma has got in & came away with this delightful set of drawers. I saw it & just knew that I had to have it for my scrap nook. Not sure what I'll pop in it yet but I'm sure that I'll find something!!

I also found this most cute wire birdie!! They come in other sizes too but I just loved this one. I managed to find a bit of 'bling' too to bring home!!

Then Sat morn I wandered down to Hutchissons for a looksee!! I found this angel & knew she was for me to bring home. She invites everyone in with her 'welcome' & stands about a foot tall. I thought that she would be a fantastic addition to my nook.

I feel a bit naughty about spending my money but then I thought 'well I work hard for it so why not'. Anyway - NO more spending before the Melb trip - I promise!!??????

So I hope that everyone has a beautiful evening as I know I will!!

luv me xxooxx

Thank you.

It's My Birthday!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you all sooooooooooooooo very much for making my day so special. I received lots & lots of wonderfully warm wishes & they were just delightful to receive.
I had a wonderful day at work with lots of 'happy birthdays' sung & a beautiful cake. YUMMY!! I also had one of my wonderful mums make me my very own special pavlova!! How lucky am I??
Spoilt I know.
My wonderful hubby & beautiful boys took me out for tea last night with family & friends & that just finished off a lovely day. I was spoilt with pressies of Derwent pencils from the boys & girls- two sets, one watercolour, one artist. Joe went in to see Tan & ended up buying something I haven't got - a 'Bind It All'. YEAH!! Even my friends have got the hang of it now & just go for scrapbooking stuff. So iwas very lucky & can't wait to get it all out & use. I've got holidays coming up so look out!!
So thank you to everyone again for your special wishes & kind words. Much appreciated & you have all made me feel very loved & special.
lots of luv me xxooxx

Flog is the game!??!





Well here we all are - playing that game you call GOLF!! I think we hacked the golf out of it & it was more like flog to us.


And we were the ones getting flogged!!! ha ha

No really we had a great day. It was a Kyby V Naracoorte footy clubs fun golf day last Sunday. Teams of 4 played an 'ambrose' comp. Well we laughed & giggled & walked & talked & ate & drank & had loads of fun. It was that good that we may do it all again another day!!

Our apologies must go to the little golf balls though but then again we didn't hit them too much & we were very proud that we didn't lose one either!! lol

Naracoorte has a lovely scenic golf club & we should make the most of it more often.

luv me xxooxx
