Have to go out in the rough weather as Luke was still fast asleep and I left him in bed but now he is awake he crabby I didn't wake him but his body must have needed the extra sleep so he is in the shower and wants to go said I would run him up he will be late but school knows he comes and goes as pleased
waiting for second term to finish and the next lot of hoildays so he can have lots of rest and then hopefully be back full time 3rd term

Its a crappy day, wind rain and very cold but its bright hadn't had to put the lights on when I got home! Tezza was at city mission volunteering and I had a look at at 9 scrapbooking books for 50 cents each was wrapped, got a lovely purple top for 2.00 and 3 glass jars with lids for 30cents so was wrapped. I have been so tired today would like to scrap something at least tonight will see how I go plus need to update my blog its been a while

Hows the drive going ?

ohh man what a night , my hubby was cheeky , very happy due to his last day at work at the main store he is at the other store from tomorrow which is 10 mins away will know where he is have 1 boss instead of dealing with 2 through the week.

apart from that him and I where in fits of laughter , our 19year old went to his bedroom and missed the step into the hallway falling rather heavy we said you okay all he could do was laugh back at the same time the eldest boy 21 fairly heavy built got his laptop cord caught round his little toe so when he walked he trip over as well we asked if he was alright he said I think so

Boys where stunned all Dh and I could do was laugh at them while they tried working out what had just happened to them

I really enjoy how the family is together again and how much I missed my eldest when he went at a young age very happy he came home to us again and we can enjoy silly family moments together again

well the day and weather isn't very good so I have Vac to do then the washing and if no crafting today tomorrow for sure

Ella just needs to stick her photo onto her finger painted CS and she will have finished the kids challenge for this month. Are they allowed to do the other monthly challenges? Obviously not for store credit she doesn't need that but can she upload hers with ours if she does the challenge??

yeah sure i don't see why not!! can't wait to see her finished products!! hehehe

Ladies for those of you that aren't aware, We are having a Massive Paper Sale!!! It was to start in September and continue till the end of October, but I have had some enquiry as to whether we would be able to start it sooner, and we thought What they hey and it will be from today's date until the end of October!!! so happy paper shopping everyone!!! hehehe

OOOh can they be put on layby Amanda?

Had a wonderful day at Caron's with Tash so much laughing ...Caron was playing with her Craft Robo for us

I'm about little sad and thinking of my boys today , one of them has been supporting people all week and hasn't had time to grieve himself today may be hard for him

must say I was proud of him though as he dressed up in a white shirt and black trousers did his hair he was quite a spunk to be honest , I couldn't help but plant a kiss on his check when he was unprepared as it's not cool to kiss them

will be a huge service and after it the boys will be looking after the younger bro they are friends

I need to pick up meat later on today and pack my scrap tote

Hello there Ladies!!! My thoughts are with you and your family karen!!! you should be so proud of your boys!! They seem so mature and respectful!!!

Jules we will do layby for the paper sale, with the same rules for normal Layby's!!! Just make sure that you put you want it layby in the comments at the check out. Thanks

Thank you Amanda will peruse over the weekend

Dear Karen your and your family are amazing with the support that you have given these families in their days of need.

oooh layby paper sale!

just need some time to sit and order!

my boys are normal teens and get into stuff as well but they always ring us and let us know if they need help

They see what we do and often ask why so I hope that shows them how to help others and care for other people

Service went well my son told me late this afternoon when he rang to see if I would feed some calves for a friend they forgot to ask today

1st time I had feed calves in 3 years

Thanks Julie we aren't amazing , I think today people sometimes forget it's the small things we do for others that make a good day for people and make a happier world.

I learnt off my parents how to care the way I do mind you I had heaps of house work yesterday and washing everywhere but that would keep till next week if need be I'm know to drop everything at a minutes notice to help people , doesn't matter if I leave stuff it will get done when things settle down

so so true karen!!! it is the small things that count!!! keep up the great work!! you be surprised at how much the little things makes peoples days!!!

started buying school uniforms for my youngest last week - yikes though I was ready for him to be off to school next term but its actually a bit sad too! Where has the time gone my happy little baby boy is now big enough for school!

worked sat and sun and it was awful cold over the weekend
my fan heater stopped working when I looked at it 1 blade had broke inhalf the others had melted so I rang where I brought it from and due to no receipt couldn't take it back so then rang the firm who made it and they had someone in Launceston who could look at it my son was going to the movies so he took it in for me the fan heater is only a month old so they may do a recall on the product due to me

I did all my dinning room cupboards and kitchen cupboards yesterday and plan to spend the whole day in the lounge room doing my craft cupboards I have 2 big shelves under a nice cupboard and a old kitchen cabinet with shelves and drawers to clean

Have a few boxes for the waste transfer shop and have thought I might do some craft kits up and pop up there to get rid of some bits n pieces

freezing cold this morning

I haven't been shopping would like too but will be able too soon

I hope this sun stays around this morning the sky is very clear as well so hopefully will turn into a nice day over all

My parents will be on the boat home on Sun night , mum didn't want to go travelling due to her sickness but they had friends go with them who would look after mum , spoke to her the other day she told me her confidence had gone up heaps
