Thursday Thirteen #6


Thirteen reasons why I haven't blogged since 5 October


1. Had a bit of a health scare with Ballerina and had her to a myriad of Drs - thank goodness all is OK!!

2. Hubby has been home from work - actually applying and getting a new job.

3. Spending any spare time with Ballerina and Skaterboy - because I love them.

4. Spending as much time with Hubby while he is home - love him too and he works away.

5. Have been trying to organise our new house - still to be built - in fact still to go to council for approval!!

6. Preparing to move out of this house - a rental - owners want to move back in - aaagh the thought of moving again!!

7. Work has been really busy and have spent much of my loved own time, busy doing work stuff - yuck!!

8. In between it all the housework still needs to be done - any takers??

9. Oh did I mention shopping - the groceries - I always seem to be buying groceries - go figure!!

10. I must admit we have done a little socialising too - priorities!!

11. Skaterboy got a job - so have done a bit of chauffering!!

12. I have caught up on some of my favourite TV shows too - also known as relaxing.

13. Oh yes Ballerina and her dancing has kept me busy too!!!

Scrapbooking





Well I'm going to give it a go. Although I probably do have some creativity in me I have never considered myself to be creative - in the Arts sense. Ballerina on the other hand is quite creative and loves to do crafty things - she gets it from my Mother - must have skipped a generation.

Anyway my Mum gave Ballerina some scrapbooking material to bring home from Adelaide last week and I've decided we'll give it a whirl.

Most people I talk to, who are in the midst of this scrapbooking for memories craze, seem to be quite addicted to it. I've been told it can be quite expensive. But I have always been fairly creative with my money - so I'm sure we can do it on a budget.

Anyway I will post my creations - don't hold your breath though - it may take a while for the first one!!



Enjoy your day!!

Barnyard - The original party animals




School holiday times and the kids mooooovies are here. If you get an opportunity to take your kids to this movie please do. Even if you don't have kids it's worth a watch.

Don't want to build it up too much, but for a bit of a giggle and lesson in life go see this mooooovie on the big screen.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BARN STAYS IN THE BARN!!!

A Busy Week - family time in Adelaide





Well I have had a busy week and haven't had much of a chance to sit down and blog. Spent some time in Adelaide this week combining work with pleasure. Spent time with my family - wonderful - in Adelaide. It's school holidays here so I took Ballerina and she spent time with Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. She had a great time. It was a short trip - 2 days, but it is always nice to catch up with family and spend time with them.

So I have a bit of catching up to do!!
