Still no news.

After a week of waiting for the end of the week to come like we had been told, still no email with the contract. It's extremely frustrating. It will probably be Tuesday now, becuase of the time difference.

It's been a busy weekend, although I have nothing to show for it. We took Kyan to the railways museum yesterday. He seemed to like it.

Last night we had the christening. It was interesting to watch Kyan back at the house afterwards. All the kids were in the study watching a movie. Kyan started there, but then remembered where the train set was, and was off. He played all by himself for ages. He was one of the youngest there. It was a bit sad to see him playing all alone. I don't know if that is just his age, or if he'll just be a bit of a loner. He's quite independent and can amuse himself here for ages, which is great. I just hope that he develops good social skills too. There was a very funny moment. At one stage he made his way back to the T.V. room. Michael walked in and found him sitting on the floor with an entire bowl of lollies just eating tham all one by one. I don't know how he didn;t pass out from a sugar overdose. Needless to say, he wont be having any more lollies for a little while. He was very cute. Stupid me didn't take a photo!!! I somehow predict I'll get another opportunity another day.

Today Kyan and I went off to watch Michael's karate lesson. They had a Xmas in July thing with a BBQ. Problem is that I didn't actually get to watch any of the lesson, because I was chasing Kyan all over the place. After that we headed off to M's brothers' for lunch and a game of Monopoly. I alsmost won.

Now I have a mountain of washing to do and get ready for work tomorrow. I think we all need 3 day weekends.

Finally some ohotos.

Sara came over last night which was lots of fun. We've scrapped together a few times lately, but always in a group, so it was really nice to have just the two of us. I'm going to miss that when we go O/S.

I got a few things done. I worked on my red rooster scrapping cup. I don't feel like it is finished yet. The probelm is that it can't have much bulk. I think it will be something that I add to over time.




I worked on a couple of layouts just for me for a change. I've had the photos for ages. The secrets one was taken in New Zealand at Easter time. I'm not all that sure that I'm happy with it. I had to change things a little after a "rubon incident".



















I'm quite happy with the other one. I'd like to add some more jewels to the flowers but I don't have any left at the moment. The butterfly was from a bunch of flowers that Michael gave me a while ago. Sara took the photo.




















I'm waiting for Michael to wake up so we can check his email. We are expecting one from the states with the job offer. I suddenly feel an urge to vacuum (sp?) the bedroom really loudly. Fingers crossed.

Sara showed me her latest SC last night. I have a layout in the little book extra this month. Not a huge fan of the layout, but love to see it in there. It's in the back of the mag too.

Off to make some noise.

Sorry, no photos.

I can't believe it has been almost a week since I have scrapped. Must be some kind of record. Luckily Sara is coming over to night to help me break the drought. Even more strange, is that I don't have anything due at the moment.

The non scrapping means that I don't have any photos to show, but stick with me and I should have some by tomorrow.

Jenny has been up from Sydney this week, so it has been fun catching up with her a couple of times.

Kyan comes home tonight after spending most of the week with Mum due to him being sick and not being able to go to daycare. Amazingly the place is still clean from Monday. I predict it will take him about 30 seconds to start making a mess again.

We are off to a christening tomorrow night, so that should be fun. We are also planning to take Kyan to the Railway Museum at Ipswich this weekend. We tried last weekend but he was in a cranky mood, and we didn't have closed in shoes that you apparently need but they failed to mention on the website.

The Scrapbook City forum and gallery should be aup really, really soon. I've seen the front page, so I know progress is being made slowly. Poor Leisa has been very frustrated by all the delays. (not her fault).

Better go clean up before Sara comes and Kyan gets home.

Funny, funny girl.

Oh dear, Sara makes me laugh. If you've seen her blog today, you will have read her confession. You gotta be careful who you give your passwrod out to these days lol. It's all true though, Sara is the best. I'm often sitting on my computer laughing to myself when I read emails from her. I wasn't going to dob you in for the spelling though.

Nothing much else to report at the moment. I haven't done any scrapping for 3 days. Can you tell I am back at work? I already have a sore throat. Poor Kyan has been quite sick. He has yet another chest infection, with more antibiotics. he seems much better today than yesterday. he didn;t even respond when I came home yesterday afternoon. He was all smiles for Grandma this morning.

Back to I guess. Thanks Sara again fro making me smile and laugh all the time and being such a wonderful friend. (and for fixing my blog for me, I have title bar now)

Just thinking....

I just thought I'd let you all know that I think Sara is the nicest, kindest, most wonderful person in the world - even though she can't spell.

Saturday Night

I went to a crop at Mum's tonight. It was nice to see everyone, especially Jenny from Sydney. I took Kyan with me, but he was a bit unsettled so I brought him home to his own bed. Naturally he went straight to sleep. I got nothing much at all done, but I did finish a layout when I got home. Isn;t it funny. I started this layout months and months ago, and even tonight just stared at it really, then came home and just did it in about 10 minutes.


I have managed to finish a couple of layout for a cybercrop I did at top 50 scrapbooking last night. I really like one of them, but the other is a bit ordinary. I'll show the one I like.

Sara has done 97 layouts this year. I decided to have a look at mine, and I think I am up to 79, plus 22 BTP items.

I need some help please. I can;t figure out how to add a title to my posts. Also, Sara can you please help me put a counter on my blog. I'm curious to know how many visitors I have.

Well it's far too late to be up on the computer, so I am off to bed.

Busy Day

I can't believe today is almost over, it's gone by really fast and I don't feel like I've done much. It started out with me getting up and driving home after spending the night at my friend's house. A bunch of us from work got together for a dvd pyjama party. It was a lot of fun. We also played Taboo, which I did surprisingly well at... I even managed to answer questions for the other team-oops!

After a nice long sleep in Kyan and I got ready and headed intot eh city to meet Michael for lunch. We usually try to do that at least once every holidays. I also took my engagement ring to the jewellers. I have lost one of the littel diamonds out of it, so I have to get a quote on getting it replaced. Kyan quite liked going in on the train, although it was a little crowded on the way home.

I'm trying to get him to have a little nap now, but judging by the sounds of lego coming from his room, I don't think that's going to happen.Oh well, a little bit og quiet play time is good too.

Apparently the new SM is out including one of my layouts. It's called Kyan at 1. I can't find it on my hard drive at the moment to show you. I'm quite relieved to see it actually. When the contract came, I quickly got it all organised and ready to post. I gave it to Michael to post on his way to work. About 2 weeks later on the plane on the way to New Zealand he found it in his laptop bag. Needless to say I was not impressed. I had to wait another week to get home before I could post it. I figured it was probably too late and I had missed out, so I am quite glad to hear that it is in there. Thanks Julie, for mentioning it in your review.

On the New York front, Michael had heard that he will be getting an offer on the next couple of weeks, so maybe now things will finally start to get organised, just in time for the freezing NY weather. Oh well, I am looking forward to going ice skating in Central Park.

Back to it I guess. Sorry for the long post, especially since there are no photos.

A Layout

Just a quick one today to share a layout that I started on Saturday night at the crop, but only finished last night. I decided to do something completely different with this one. It's certainly different. I think it turned out OK though.


I finally finished my masters entry today. Now I just have to photograph it.

Better go and pick up Kyan from daycare.

Crop at Scrapbook City

I went off to a crop at Scrapbook City last night with Sara, Amanda, Zane, Sara, Gaye, Dianne, Kelllie and Michelle. It was lots of fun as always even though I barely did anything at all. Here's one layout that I did finish though. I was all inspited after finishing Karen;s class so I decided to try some doodling of my own.The photo doesn't really show it, but the large flower is raised on chipboard and is hinged with ribbon to hide the journalling. The photo is of my sister by the way, not me.



I'm very excited to introduce Zane to the land of blogging now. Zane is such a fun person to be around. I'm looking forward to reading her blog.

We headed out to Queen's Park at Ipswich for a picnic today. Kyan loved the big slides they have (well big, for a little person). He did such a good job of waiting for his turn. I was very disappointing though to see so many other kids with such bad manners, especially big kids who would push in front of the little ones. I was also very annoyed to see someone smoking in the playground. Do people just not think about how gross that is around children, not to mention that it is now illegal.

I have another layout almost finished so I might go and get it done, because I absolutely must concentrate on finishing my masters this week. I'm almost there.
