I have done it,

Hi there,

Here is the canvas completed.

I little different to the other one.

Hubby doesnt like it, he only said it looks ok to keep me quiet im sure of it.
He says the flower looks out of place. In the photo it looks a little out of sorts but in true light is not bad.

But I like what I have done anyway.

Tell me what you think about it, be honest... I can only learn from you being honest... well I have 2 more canvases to do but they are of my own children and I can take my time on those.

Hello everyone,

Now I need your opinion...

I am making this canvas for my little cousin Renea, It will be here 1st birthday party next weekend (6th Aug).
I have painted the canvas a light pink and I have matted the photo the way I want it done. Tghe lettering is also glued down on what is pink and brown cardstock.
But im having trouble placing everything so it looks nice and not empty.

I have placed everything on the canvas but nothing is stuck to the canvas. I also dont have much if no more money to spend on this but have things lying around the house i can use on it. ( gosh that sounded rude).
But we are on a budget here and its a challenge to me to do it not costing alot.

I am open to any suggestions....also please excuse the quality of the photo, its only for an idea, will place a nicer photo once its complete.

Please help this needs to be done by Thursday the 3rd as it will need to dry etc before we leave on Saturday.

Many thanks for looking and helping of you can.

Have you ever had one of those days?

Hi there,

Well today was mine. It wasn't all bad just bloody annoying.

Abi had her first full day at kindy today. She LOVED it. but she will only be going for full days on a Thursday to give me time out and time to do the shopping etc.

Well here goes my day...

7.30 drop Chris off at work
8-8.45 get kids to eat breakfast, it takes this long.....
9-10 filling out paperwork at kindy, make sure Abi is ok
10-10.30 Go and buy Chris his morning tea then spend half hour with him at work (that was nice)
10.30-11.45 make an appointment at optician, select new frames cost $310 BUT that includes sunnies as I need them.. post some letters.pay a couple of bills.....drop script off at chemist for Alex....get some lunch
11.45-12.45 Eat my lunch at home watch Tyra...
1pm go to get hair cut and coloured MUST leave by 2.30 to get kids from kindy...
2.45 leave hair dressers, hair foiled but NOT cut... I am not happy, she also put in 27 foils when i only wanted around 10-12.... I am running late.
3pm get kids, race back to hair dressers as my jacket was still there.
3-3.30 get petrol, why did it take 30 minutes i hear you ask, well some bloody Australian male ( ihave anothing against ozzies, im half of one)left his credit card at a local restaurant, so he went back to gets it, which freezes the till at the servo. We have to wait and wait and wait now there is around 10 people waiting to be served and another 7 waiting for gas, 1 person on and 1 dick head getting a card from Albericos.
He does return after 15 minutes, apologizes, then leaves his card behind AGAIN....I tell ya what a moron.
Eventually I pay my bloody $92 for 3/4 tank...anyhoo.
3.30 baby sit a mates daughter for an hour and half, she is agreat kid, no problems at all here
5.30- go shopping, drive into carpark but see people that i don't want to see going into the supermarket, so i just leave, i decide on the spot to get the kids Burger King for dinner so they can play in the play area.
Chris mets us down there and he goes home with the kids leaving me to do the shopping.
6.30 start the shopping. Well why bother.. all the specials had run out, no meat was on special,had bugger all selection anywhere.... I tell ya, what a crap day...
7.30 get text from Chris, what do you want for dinner?, while im shopping, he hasnt even bothered to organize dinner, which the meat was in the microwave,MEN!!!!!!!!!
So by the time i get home at 7.45, unload car, put groceries away. Then he decides to cook dinner. Its now
8.30 we finally eat dinner. I am not happy as i prefer to eat around 5-7 not 8-10.

Anyway, this was just a typical day in this household but I tell ya........

Alec, this is for you

Hi there,

Alex has a little mate called Alec.

They went to kindy together and became great buddies.

Unfortunatly Alec had to move away to the big smoke with his mum Bonita, Dad Jesse and sister Georgia.
Alex misses him so much he keeps asking aobut him.

Well today I told him that we were going to visit Alec, OMG you should have seen his precious little face.
He is so excited even though its 3 weeks away.

I am getting excited too, I love Auckland and I miss it sometimes, it has been over a year since we were last up there and i do feel homesick for the place, yes i know im a nutter... jafa flavoured nut bar.
I want to do so much but have no time.

Chris works all weekend and has only Mondays off so hopefully he can get that weekend off.
I tihnk i will save my money and come up to Auckland before xmas if I can. Spend some time getting to know people again.
As i have a friend Jo who is in police college at the moment. She wont be out till November sometime. Sounds like a prison sentence doesnt it? I wish her all the best....

So now back to Alec.... I have included a photo of Alex and Abi together so Georgia can see her too...
Cant wait to see you again...

WOOHOO

YAY its done. I finished my CJ.

I belong to a MSN scrapbooking forum, well 2 actually.

We are currently doing our first ever circle journal. I love these, Why haven't I done one before.
DH had 3 days off work to spend time with the demons.

I had a chance to catch up and do this as we all know it can be a time sucker.
my theme on this CJ is "ABOUT YOU". I want to know about yourself, likes dislikes, I even want a photo.

I cant wait to get this one underway, it wont be back till late December.
It looks pretty plain but I used PP so I wouldnt have to embellish it alot due to it being handled lots.


Well good news, Chris has been smoke free now for 3 whole weeks. He is getting on ok, but finds it really frustrating when people know he is giving up and they still smoke around him, like close to him... which is rude. YKWIM, they could have been a little more considerate.

I went thourgh my wardrobe and drawers today, I did the Flylady thing. I have thrown out a huge pile of clothes.
Now I need to buy some new ones... Chris, did I tell you how much I love you??????I need some money!!!!$$$$$.

I will have a look around Auckland when we go up for my little cousins 1st birthday party.I cant wait for this party, Renea is such a cutie and has stolen my heart.

So tomorrow im off to the op shop to dump my clothes off. Most of the clothes are still near new. But im too fat to wear them any more.
Somebody is going to be well dressed in Tokoroa.

Take care all...leave a comment if you want....

@#$%^&*

Hi all,

What a bloody annoying day.

I am trying to make my own journal for the circle journal on Scrapping kiwi mums but its not going very well.
I tried to make one out of an address book which was going well until it came to putting holes in the cardstock. I went to get holes put in it by Paper plus. but there binding doesnt match up with the holes that i already put in my cover @#$%^& !!!!!!

So I now am trying something new again!!!..

Will let have to let you know how I get on..just needed to vent my damn frustration...

Our Date

Well,

It was a great time out.

Rotorua was packed due to the holidays and every motel was fully booked, event though we weren't planning on staying in one...

We got our movies tickets which wasn't to bad for $12 each.

then we went to dinner at Lone Star.... If your starving go there, what a fantastic meal.
Luckily we didn't have a starter or else we wouldn't have eaten our dinner. the servings were large.
I didn't eat all of mine as I felt ill because I had eaten too much-LOL.
But we did order dessert, Cheesecake, we had to bring some of it home as it was enough to feed 4 people!
But we did the touristy thing and bought the t-shirt....LOL.

The movie was good too, not as funny as his normal movies (Adam Sandler) but it was a good one to see, I recommend it to everyone. I even cried...

Well that's about it.... I cant wait to go again.

It's date night

Hi all,

Well Chris and I are finally off on a date with each other..

We have never been on a date before and I am really looking forward to it. (yes we have NEVER been on date with each other before)

Mum is looking after our children who will hopefully be asleep shortly after we leave.

The plans are to go out for dinner at Lone Star or some other nice place, then off to the movies to see "Click".

Will have to let you know how it goes....

2 weeks smoke free..WAY TO GO CHRIS

Hi all,

Well its now been 2 weeks and Chris has been smoke free.

He has decided to spend his "smoke" allowance money on DVD's. Which he did so last night, lucky us gets to watch Days of Thunder and the kids get to watch Chicken Run or Antz ( double DVD).


I desperately need some time to do some scrapbooking. I have put my hand in way too many hats and I have a few swaps and circle journals to complete.
One swap has been sent to Scrapbookin Annies, another is a simple swap and is organized on this end, just waiting on address to post to.
I need to design another circle journal for Scrapping kiwi mums, as im sort of organizing it I need to follow up with people who haven't sent me their addresses etc.
Plus I also have a monthly challenge on another forum which is a page but I can do that all month, but the sooner its done the better I say.

Chris plans on taking Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off so he can spend time with the kids. They will LOVE that. We don't have any plans to go anywhere as we just had to fork out for 4 new tyres on the car today. New tyres,now no money-lol. Isn't it always the way...

Oh well Ihad better get a eriggle on, I have soup on the stove, kids that are wanting Dora on DVd and I need to do some housework, plus the fire needs wood.

have a great weekend all.......

MWAH

My Gorgeous Family

Hi all,

We decided, well I decided that I wanted some photos taken today of us all, well mainly me for scrapbooking.
So I thought i would share to everyone how beautiful my family is.
We are in the middle of the bush somewhere by the mill. It was so quiet and peaceful.

I love living in this area, we are surrounded by such beauty and never take advantage of it.

I must bring Alex and Abi out here again for an afternoon during the hoildays.
