Somethin' freaky in the toilet...:)

And to be honest the ONLY freaky thing I want in there...lol

I did this mask for no reason what so ever...just wanted to do one, then ofcourse had no where to put the darn thing!!! It is a bit weird looking, and I sort of figured you always do with something 'interesting' to look at in the toilet, so that is where it has been put....messed up my 15 year old a bit, he had no idea it was in there until 2am this morning!!, there was a yell and a tumble and when I ran out to see what was going on he explained that he thought he was having some strange Dr Who dream!!! gotta love my dork!!!

a wee bit of creativity...:)

Haven't been feeling very 'arty' lately, but I thought I would give this a go. I bought this American Crafts binder album a few weeks ago at spotlight. They come with a coloured binder and the raw chipboard covers...ripe for altering. Hope you like....:)

 

 

Have a good one

A rare and Beautiful Thing

Well, Kelly and I decided to do the VERY bave thing of taking the little ones out to dinner last night. Kris and Scott were away and frankly I really didn't feel like cooking, or cleaning up Kelly's mess for that matter. So out to the local steak house with the 4 and 5 year old. We never do this...ever!! it just seems to always get put in the too hard basket, yet to our surprise they were really well behaved!!, Lily was just so excited to be getting dressed up and going out she was determined to be a perfect lady and Ronin was greatly assited by a convieantly located TV that was showing motorcross, that kept him entertained. They ate most of thier dinner and all thier ice-cream and both were out like a light at 8pm in the car on the way home. It was so so nice, probably not to be repeted any time soon...who's got the money for that, but it was lovely all the same.

I even managed to get some pic's before we left...I think you can tell how excited they were...they were happy to touch each other, without a balled fist!!!

 

 

have a great weekend all!!!

Watching my garden grow

OK, lets just say I have pretty much always been a black thumb...everything I have ever tried to grow has died a slow (and sometimes fast) painful death. But after my sucess with my rose, I have branched out a little...hehehe. A while back I planted Lilies...sucess, and then tomatoes...another sucess, (the stawberries haven't been so lucky), but never the less today Ronin and I potted five different citrus trees.....something I never would have EVER attemped to grow before, so fingers crossed

HEEEELLLOOOOOO!!!!!!

Anyone still out there????....LOL

I know it's been me, I have been so run off my feet and my head not in a 'blogging' space I can't even begin to tell you. But I am back again, and I thought before I start anything eles, I should do a bit of a recap on the last few weeks...basically tro update myself too!!!

Lets start with my two middle children have started at new schools. For a variety of reason, mostly to make everyones lives a little less chaotic. Lily is now going to the chool down the road, and Ronin will start prep there next year.
Not the greatest 'First day at a new school' photo, but at least I got one, she was a little nevous this morning.


And dear Scott has started at a strictly high school, up till now he has been at a P-12, so it's all a bit frightening for him too. But he is such a great kid and yesterday(being his first day) was FANTASTIC, and he says he is fitting in nicely. One of the girls at lunchtime sat down next to him and gave him the run down of, who's with who, and what 'Days of our Lives' type dramas are currently going on in year 8, so I can only assume he made a fairly good impression...:)

Little Lily has also had her Ballet exam. And she did it all by herself!! something that would have made me want to vomit...in fact the fact that she was doing it was enough to make me want to vomit!!, but she is such a confident little thing it was no problem at all for her, and all the examiner wanted to tell us was that she was 'exceptional'....gotta love that!!!

Now on the home front, and let this be a warning to all of you, renovating your bathrooms is HORRID!!!!!, actually beyond horrid and going into a total NIGHTMARE!!!. It's messy, dusty, time consumining, frustrating, and always costs FAR more than anticipated!!, I can only begin to tell you how much this little room has taken over my life, and needless to say my poor vacume cleaner will never be the same again...might need retiring I think, it deserves it!!!

Here's the before..........


And the after...better huh????



And Ha Ha Ha...bet you thought I would Never Ever get to anything creative!!!!....well lets just say there hasn't been too much activity in the scrap room. But I did do this. A bit different for me, but I like the softer colours

And lastly but certianly not least, my sister Trisha welcomed her 3rd baby, and first daughter, Madison Riley on the 10th of last month, weighing just on 6 pounds she is a beatuifl little thing and soon to appear on many LO's VERY soon...:)



PHEW...well I think thats it, although I am sure it's not. Is it just me or does life keep getting busier?????!!!!, sometimes I just want to stop the bus and get off for a litlle while, but I guess the best I can do for now is the sweet 6 hours inbetween morning drop offs and afternoon pick ups...after I have cleaned up the demolishion that happens in the hours in the other times!!!!

Hugs (a still alive and hanging in there)

see what I did...:)

Now I do know that alot of people have windows above the bed, but personally I just don't like it. There's something about looking up and seeing curtins or blinds that just doesn't appeal to me, and I think I read once that it's bad feng shi or something (good dreams all flying out the window or something or other). Anyways the new house had a window above the bed, as wll as another big full length one, sooooooooo, I got hubby to take off all the window framing and cover the damnable thing up (we made sure the window was closed...lol) and frame around it. So I painted a bit of an arty looking thing on it and used my favourte airconditioning blades for the flowers.....You Like???????

 

Have a great weekend all
