Mum’s crash 19/05/2011

Today my mum rolled her car on the way home from Atherton after a days work , The  car ran off the road and on to it’s side leaving Mum hanging for about an hour until they could roll it over and cut the door off to get her out…..luckily for her she is fine, not a scratch on her, no bad for 68yrs old !!! Can’t say the same for her poor car, apparently its a repairable write off.  So she won’t be seeing it again.  Already she is out getting prices for a new car, that’s my mum for you , one tough old bird.

I had a fantastic week at work,  loads of really nice customers.  I helped serve two lovely ladies that were so nice  and friendly later in the week we received an email from them saying how lovely and helpful the craft ladies are,  apparently my name was mention alot in the email,  so that makes me feel really special.

I also had a lady tell that she thought I looked 38 yrs. old,  So I told her she was my new best friend LOL  She didn’t believe I had a son turning 21 at the end of next month. 

Sometimes you just need to hear such kind words from a total stranger,  it just gives you that little confidence boost that we all need every now and then. 

So I find myself making sure that every day I give someone else a compliment, weather it be a stranger or someone you know,  It makes me feel good,  and just knowing that they will feel good…..So spread the LOVE !!!

This afternoon we went to Claire’s 4 th princess  Birthday  party,  and tonight we are heading back to celebrate Melissa’s 30th,  Claire's mum….so off we go to have some epic fun,  talk soon,

Memories

 

it’s always fun to look back at old photo’s

Afternoon photo shoot

When I feel like getting creative and taking photo’s, that’s it I have to find someone to co-operate and have some fun.  Today it was Ashleigh and Michael, he was a bit shy at first and usually does not participate in having his photo taken. So  I talked him in to it….He admitted later that he actually enjoyed it.  So here is the end result….I love them !!!

It was a fantastic afternoon and I love being able to create gorgeous photo’s for the kids to remember the good times.

Garage sale finds.

This morning we went out to the Gordonvale markets to get some fresh vegetables and have a look around at a couple of garage sales,  I haven’t done this for a long time, so it was exciting to score some goodies and so cheap too !!

$ 5.00 each !!!  They will end up white eventually, or maybe pink .

Look what I got this morning  !!  and I got a card in the mail from Ryan, can’t wait to open it tomorrow for Mothers Day….Look like I ‘am going to be very spoilt this year.

Three quilts that I have finished in the last two weeks !!!.  I have three more to go and I ‘am determined to finish them before I start anymore, I have bought everything I need and have no excuse now not to do it.

Look… I didn’t do much at work on Friday,  bit of product knowledge !!  I think I would  rather crochet than knit at this stage , at least when I make a mistake I can see what I have done. 

On Thursday my box of goodies arrived i the mail from “Stamp in up”  How exciting !!!  These new awesome die cutters and embossing plates are so cute, I also got some new punches and inks and stamp sets, can’t wait to start using them.  When I finish my quilts I 'am going to start scrapbooking again.
