Fall Magnolia's!!!

I arrived home tonight from our Addicted to Paper Class to find a package from Magnolia Stamps waiting patiently for me. Yay, it's my stamps from the Magnolia Stamp Club Fall Collection, I am going to have some fun with these...after I finish my bits and peices I have to do for Ms G's wedding invitations...and after I get some more EzyMount....and after I prepare the minutes for a meeting at work...and after I take the kids to the pool for the swim I promised them a month ago...and after I clip Paylee and Brandy so that they can see out of their eyes...and after I watch my two episodes of Tru Blood so that I am finally caught up...and after...and after...

Pretty in Purple!!!

I have managed to fit three challenges into this card. The sketch is from the WOJ Challenge. Pile It On Challenge was to use threes, so I have three layers on my flower, three buttons and three strands of string. Daring Cardmakers Challenge was to create a annversary card, so I used the saying "love grows happiness". DP is BG Wisteria, flower, cardstock are all random, flower, buttons and image are coloured with my copics.

Almost a Oopsy!!!

I love my fire, best thing for keeping warm in winter. I bought in an armload of wood today, to throw into the faithful old woodbox and lucky, lucky, lucky it was an armload I could see over as curled up in the bottom of the woodbox about to become a wood sandwich was that little Cheeky Monkey!

I Can Breathe Again!!!

Phew, xrays have declared Zak's ankle to be in one piece. It's a bad sprain that should have him 100% in three weeks, and he should be ok to drive next week. I am so happy I feel some retail therapy to celebrate is in order LOL.

DeJa Vue!!!

It's been a trying week for little old me, work is restructuring the workplace which is quite stressful - I am wondering what will change in my job, Grandma is still with us but is slowly getting better.....but wait there's more!

Zak had badminton in PE today...he's just returned from A & E after a three hour visit with a cast up to his knee (yup, deja vue as this was me only 6 months ago after my run in with the side of a hill)!!! He rolled his ankle in PE and they are concerned he has cracked it, x rays tomorrow will confirm.

This creates a whole load of new problems for me the main one being how to get the kids to school (including Zak and his crutches, remember I start work at 7.30 am), I am just wondering if it is possible for a head to physically explode because I don't think my little ole head can take anything else this week!

So I may be AWOL for a bit as I juggle these downs in my life of ups and downs, but I shall return and keep you guys updated as I find the time.

BTW thanks for the laugh today Trace (haven't laughed that much in awhile)...I went to visit Trace this afternoon and she showed me her poor Manga boy with the missing hunk in his arm, yup she hacked a chunk out of the rubber which has left him with an invisible man appearance happening on his arm - its a tad freaky looking really.

Five Good Things!!!

Five great things that happened to me today...actually five and a half

1. The new flowers I ordered arrived, and they are sooo cute.

2. My Greeting Farm order arrived and now I have more Anyas and a dog to play with, yay....best of all they are all mounted and ready to ink.

3. My charms from the UK arrived and I love them...even Grandma approves so they must be good

4. I ordered two cute butterflies and the nice lady sent me two extra as a gift.

5. I finally managed to colour an image that I am happy with for the Vintage Challenge at Stampin for the Weekend...now I just need to create a card to go with it.

5 1/2. I had a Union Meeting in New Plymouth so only had to work for three hours today.

Sweet Cupcake!!!

Bit of "Multi Tasking" happening here, managed to combine two Challenges - Friday Sketchers (a sketch, of course) and Whiff of Joy (use the colours pink and brown), I love this little "Henry Mouse", he's coloured with my copics. DP is SU "Sweet Always", cardstock is also SU, flowers, buttons and beading is all random.
