The deliberations, ramblings, ponderings and sometimes humorous accounts of an addicted Digi scrapper and mother.

I am a mother, a partner, a scrapper, a designer, a taxi driver, a spell checker etc etc and apparently life 'began' for me on my birthday two years ago. *edited to add*: It has been brought to my attention that some people don't understand what I mean by 'Life began for me last year'. It is just a polite way of telling you how old I really am as there is a saying here in Australia that "Life Begins at 40".

Soooooo....... I'm slack again

I really should do more blog posting than I do. *sigh*
So before I get to my random facts I do have some news (thanks for the prod Joy)! lol
In my last post I mentioned that I was a Guest Goddess at ScrapArtist this month. Well.... I've been asked to stay on permanently so I am now a Creative Goddess and it's so cool. I'm having a great time and the ladies there are supportive and wonderful.

And some good news (also ScrapArtist related).... Lisa Whitney is back designing! Now I don't know about you but I still have and still scrap with her first kit "A Beautiful Mess". It is one of my fall-back-on kits that I know I will use over and over. Lisa has now released "A Beautiful Mess 2" and it's in the store now. You can find Lisa's store here.

Lisa also has a competition running with awesome prizes just by scrapping with these. You can find the details here.

Okay... 10 random things since my last post....
1. Miss Ava has cut her first tooth. She is such a clever possum.
2. Mr 18 has decided to move out of home (breathing huge sigh of relief). He is going tomorrow. He has packed ONE box! And he's just told me that he wants my help to help him move tomorrow. Hope he doesn't expect me to tow the trailer 'cause I'm totally useless at that. I think he's going to have to speak nicely to the MOTH.
3. Since Mr18 is moving out, I now have to declutter my linen cupboard and the kitchen so he doesn't move out without linen and crockery.
4. I am in trouble for spending money on books. I have bought heaps for Miss Six recently and I've been told she has too many. That's what library's are for!! lol
We've got some new Pearlie books but since Miss Six also loves Daisy Meadows we've got some Fairy ones. And she's also discovered Emily Rodda so we're hunting down some of hers. We're currently reading 'Nim's Island' by Wendy Orr. Miss Six knew I was in trouble for spending so much money at the Book Fair yesterday and then she came home with Nim's Island in her hand and said 'Hey Daddy! I've got another book' with a huge grin on her face. Just as he turned to me to say something she pipes up with 'We borrowed it from the school library'! Cheeky child.
5. I haven't worked much this week but instead of freaking over not a lot of hours I've decided to enjoy the peace and quiet in between hectic shifts.
6. The MOTH built a second story to the tree 'house' (more of a platform than a house) for Miss Six and her little friends to play in. Miss Six fell over the edge the other day but Daddy caught her in time. The teens across the road have discovered the tree house and have decided it's fun to come and visit and 'play' with the little kids each afternoon.
7. Cold weather is setting in and I love it. Nothing like a bracing wind on your face. I had the usual conversation with FIL the other day that I have every year. He's a real summer person and I'm not. It's fun to bait each other.
8. We're planning a few days away during the school holidays. I have put in for leave and so has the MOTH so we've got a few days overlap. We're looking at going to Stanthorpe for a bit of a change. Should be fun. They've already had minus 1 there in the past week.
9. Miss Six is in the local paper today so she's taken it for her News Day today. She had her picture snapped by the paper photographer at the Country & Horse Festival the other day.
10. Last but not least...... ummmmmm... I can't think of anything else. I'm pretty boring. lol

Have a good one!

Well done on becoming a 'goddess', that is well deserved. Mr 18 moving out; that is a big step, will he be OK? Does that you have a spare room now for craft related things?
