{STILL IN SHOCK

What the??
im still reeling from the shock of the events that occured here on Saturday night, so much for a quiet one at home in front of the TV.
At 7:30 i was getting stroppy with the boys theyd been running around like crazy fruit loops since some time after lunch and getting onto 730 i had had enough of it, were getting ready for bed and thankfully with all that running around they both seemed to oblige me for this, so we get them to bed then Jack says i need to do a poo (sometimes his way of being silly at bed time, needing to go to the toilet constantly), while taking him to the toilet Paul ever so gentleman like went out the front to piss on the fence, when he saw head lights speed ing up the street and they appeared to be coming straigh for him, so he dove into the front garden as some F@#King idiot mounted the curb, (after fishtaling up our street) and continued to proceed straight towards him, (dont you turn your wheel in these situations, so you dont plough straigh through peoples cars and fences??)where he collected the front of Pauls truck, then proceeded onto smash and slide right up the side of my baby forcing my car through our front fence, well the result three banged up cars, police chases through out Cabba, parties being crashed down the street and lots of people going to jail, not me LOL
We were really lucky with everything that happened the cops got him and his totalled Ute, he rang us the next day and by rights has offered to pay for all expences, althoguht the tow truck driver and Paul seem to think my car will be a wrightoff so now ive got the lovely job of sorting quotes and trying to get it fixed for the rest of the week, not really the way i want spend my week.

Well here my poor little baby now, you can see the passenger side damage, as it is crushed into the bin and palms in these photos but it not that bad the major damage, is those doors eek, see the angle my car is on in comparison to the footpath?? my car is usually parked parralell to the footpath, and not squished into our bin LOL im not that bad a driver, some drunken freak asked the poilce if thats what id done, is anyone that stupid to crash their car into their own front fence and then ring the cops, i doubt it. So all of this happened before it was even a quater to 8 i thought thats when a party started, obviously im getting old LOL.

Well i hope everyone elses weekend was a lot better, hopefully it will all be sortrted soon, fingers crossed

Til next time...

{Something finally

but its got no photos so does that count??? LOL
Ive finally scrapped a LO doing the weekly challenge that Erica has set for SCRAPBOXX to do a LO containing the words "if only." As my LO says if only heaps of things, i wouldnt be me who i am today if only this and that so thats what my journalling is about.

IF ONLY

Still trying hard to get the mojo flowing here , been doing heaps of crap just playing and fiddling with stuff, not very productive i know but its the best form of procrastination that ive found LOL.

ive finally just received my latest copy of FK and my lovely friend Megan has scored the cover WTG Girl love this LO and all of the rest of your work is just fantastic too, cant wait to check out the rest of the mag after i organise lunch etc. for the boys and finish the washing..

Been hung up at the Drs with my Little man three times this week as he has a sort of stiff hip, been for xrays and now just waiting til this arvo to see the extent of the damage, could be just irritated and will heal its self, but he could need a plaster cast on his hips, how will he have a nappy on was Pauls first question something i didnt even think of, they might drill a hole for his doodle to come out and leave a hole for him to poop through?? realistically this isnt going to happen but its sounds really odd when you thin k of how it will work, so fingers crossed that everything is okay and the little man will be fine.

Well i hope everyone has an awesome weekend and we all get to have a little me time, hopefully some inspiration comes flying through the window at me..

Til next time...

{Brats, the holidays can test your patience

Well ive had an extremely busy week with Drs, Nieces and just a little bit of excitement, more on that later.

We've had our nieces over, for three days this week, sleeping for two nights, they only went home yesterday and today im buggered, i really feel for you mothers out there that have several children, ive only got two but throw those cute little nieces in and it seems like a house full of wild bulls, running from 6am through till about 9pm where they drop to bed every night in a crumpled mess. Its really great for us to have them as Paul and his Sister dont speak, so its just awesome to spend time with them without there being an audience, weve done all the girly things like painted toes and briads in their hair, they really enjoy it too as Cindy is a single mother so it makes a nice change for them to see a whole family together, doing things the way they all seem like simple things to me, but to see their little faces when breakfast was made and we got to do the girly stuff, is just soooo worth every second of their yelling and fighting, that always accompanies the first day while they wind down a bit.
im really disappointed that i didnt take really any photos, i was to in the moment to stop and be a scrappy mum/aunty at the time and im really glad i did, it soooo takes away from the moment when someone stouts out for you to smile, cheese, or look this way.


I did get this photo of Jasmine after we'd been to the tatooist LOL $6 for a tatoo, so i though id get another pain free one this time and heres the proof (photo courtesy of Jasmine), Amber wasnt too keen on having a Tatoo, so she got her hair wrapped instead but it was really hard to get a picture of this as its from somewhere under her haed, not at the top where you can see it LOL so whats the point, hmmm...she got it and i had to pay for LOL ( it im sure
that was it.)

Been to the Drs twice this week just my luck the nurse was sick the first time so i had to go back the next day, its just such a waste of time driving in and out of town to get things done only to find the darn place closed , they could have rang and said she was sick.

Been really busy trying to scrap some LOs but getting stuck on things waiting for this order to come that has some really yummy letters in it i just NEED to use today, not next week LOL, another order gone AWOL, looks like the Aussie Post system is getting worse, i have just received back a letter that i sent to a lady in Sydney before Easter, just returned no reason, im sure i used the correct addy, but im off to check that out also this arvo and hopefully have it on its way to you this arvo, so sorry for the delay Susan, there will now be a RAK included in that too.

Well all these half finished LOs will have to wait til some time over the weekend when i get the urge to scrap, right now i just wanna hot bath and then off to bed, but i will have to try and stay up for the footy tonight as its an Australian game, and well ive gotta support those Aussies Boys Oi Oi Oi..

Til next time.. have a great weekend

{ Why i Scrap

Just been sorting though some old photos from my mums and have come across a little treasure trove of photos and old merobilia from the 40s and 50s, im really happy my grandfather was an avid photographer, just some awesome shots ive come across recently, while filing old pics away..










I really loved these picture of the harbour bridge, it would have been about 15 years old here, Sydney looks a little different now from back in the 1940's, shame i didn't find them a couple of weeks ago on the anniversary, but I've got it now, now to find a way to scrap these designating photos before they are lost forever, although he was an avid photographer, my grandfather wasn't the best in keeping all these old photos and now they are fading and have deteriorated over the years, which is why i wanna scrap them before the memories are lost forever, this is why i scrapbook, to tell stories and try to give our future generations an insight into our lives. A lot of these photos are from slides, which I'm trying to get off my Uncle sometime this year..

Nothing too exciting, but i really loved this photo of my mum so i kept it really simple to show of the photo.

ADORABLE BABY GIRL

BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

Hopefully i will have more LOs to share in the coming days, somethings are a secrect and all will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Im off to the Craft fair on the Gold Coast tomorrow, to help out a friend, hopefully they will have lots of yummy stuff to buy, or maybe i should hope they dont so i might make some money instead of spending it all, hmm well we'll see wont we. Must remember to take some lunch and to take money, theres are really limited ATMs at these places which always confuses me, if you wanna sell something, please let people have access to their money so they can LOL.

Well thats enough ramblin for now

Til next time..

{WOW where has the week gone??

ive been so busy organising Easter that i just got a bit lost last week, still havent uploaded my LOs and im still got a whole ton of Scrappers Block on my hands, but hopefully, that will all end today (fingers crossed) as ill have the whole day to play with my stuff, while the little nieces mind the boys for me, they just are really coming over for the day but they dont get to do anything else, as Jack is constantly calling out Amber, Jasmine come and play with me, or do this or that for him its great, its not me for a change LOL.
They really love it too and its great they seem to go home all tired and worn out which Nanny is extreemly happy about :o)

Well i was gonna upload my LOs but i will have to try again this arvo this stupid thing doesnt want any pictures

Til next time...

{Scrappers Block

Well i seem to truely have it LOL how to rid the darn thing is still to be answered....
I thionk its from pouring so much into one 'major' project, it really seems to drain the creativity outta ya and im struggling here to regain it, been thinking to much about things ive got to do and not doing them Porcrastinating is the word ive heard many use and for the record sometimes i think i can be the Queen of this.
Well in other news at least my house is starting to reseble a home again and the floor can be viewed at least enough to make a path to and from places like the loo LOL

I went and got myself as new printer on Thursday although im still not really clued on how it works it seems to print beautifully, i ended up with an Epson after going in there all gung ho about 'i want a Canon, Canon you hear me its the best', the salesman potietly explained to me that Canons were a great printer but the Epson will do a far superior job and is extreemly more ink efficient blah blah blah so i got the Epson LOL
Now just want it to print like my old one, i knew how to use it and it was for the dummies like me who dont want to BEEP around with the BEEEPING printer for four hours before you can print a page, but its all called learning and maybe by reading the book, ill be able to suss it out all little, read the manual, not really loving that idea, but ill give it a go and fingers crossed get some prints done today. Oh and another tricky thing it does it prints on the CD so when i figure it out i can print on the face of CDs how technology these days, straight on the disk push it in and out it comes all pretty looking with your photo (or whatever) on it.

Ive got a couple of quick LOs to share but that will have to wait till this arvo as i need another USB to attach my scanner up now and will be getting that today at the shops.

Big get well to Val, hope your starting on the road to recovery and resting up taking it easy, youll be back on your feet in no time, love ya

Hope everyone had a great weekend

til later...
