Happy Birthday

to my little lady!! I can't believe that she is 4 already. We had a little party at kinder and then came home to her real party at home. It wasa nice relaxed party with Sian and 4 of her friends. Brad was at school and that made it more "Sian's" party which she thought was great too.

Sian received a bop in the nose with the swing :( ... I had to laugh this morning though as she promptly tells her Dad ... I got hit with the swing ... and I don't like it!!

(thanks Kerryn for the photos :) )





Mum and Dad got home safely, it was fantastic to see them over here for a few days :) They travelled through Broken Hill, down to Melbourne and then home along the Great Ocean Road, by all accounts it was a really great trip... I am thinking we might have to make more of an effort to see the Great Ocean Road ourselves!!

There has been a few changes over at One Stop Scrapping... Tracey C handed over the shop to the new owner (who is also a Tracey :) ). There were alot of mixed emotions from everyone I believe. I wish Tracey and her family all the best for their future. Although I am sure we will still see Trace around (well I hope so anyway!!)

We went for a visit to South Aus and spent a week of holidays with my family and it was wonderful and relaxing :0) Picnic in the park on a nice sunny day. A movie minus kids for Gareth and I! But most of all just spending time with my Mum and Dad and also my brothers, Sister in laws and nieces & nephews! As well as my own gorgeous family :)
We came home with Gareth unwell and me fighting like crazy to keep it away, well I think it's caught me.... but then everytime I think that I seem to get a step ahead of it again. This morning was the worst yet with me feeling very thick in the chest and having a very 'fuzzy' head. I have had a herbal tea, given to me by an indian lady and that helped a little. :o) A good nights sleep wouldn't go astray either I don't think.

School has gone back and I think we are all glad, Brad isn't so bored and I have a little more sanity time now.

I have been exercising on the Wii fit almost every day, and while I haven't lost weight, I do feel like my body shape is changing a little which is a good thing.

I did this LO for using the July sketch from Stuck Sketches :)



and these for One Stop Scrapping for this month.




(the other one is on the laptop... but you can see it in the One Stop Scrapping Gallery!!)

It will be certainly different over at One Stop Scrapping as Tracey has sold the shop :( to a new Tracey :) it will be different and will feel a little wierd for awhile I think. But I wish Trace and family all the best for the future and look forward to hearing 'News' *wink*

I have been sitting here feeling rather sorry for myself today, so thought I would try and learn something new... this is what I did LOL .... Not perfect, but something that I think I could have fun with :)



Hope everyone who reads this is healthy happy and warm!!
