Project 365 Collage #13.

It's collage time again!! We are up in the early 100s of pics for the year now... I'm still taking them, what a miracle!!

Here's the scoop for the past nine days: I am still working hard at getting back into running but with my change of shift (even though that was months ago now!) I'm finding it tough!; at the park with Fliss and Cooper; Royal Copenhagen ice cream at Manly on a very cold day! It was still delicious!!; trying out a new dish for dinner- Apricot Curry Chicken with baked and steamed veg and garlic bread (it was super!); Planning for Japan= using post-it notes to mark out on a map of Tokyo all the places we want to see, only 2 weeks to go now!!; my new bookcase gets delivered, oh so beautiful!! So much fun to stack all my crap on it cos it looks so pretty :); packing for the Scrappin trip to Yvettes! I managed to only pack 2 bags this time (and I did take clothes, although I did scrap in my pj's for most of the weekend!!); Chatting the night away with Yvette when I first arrived {hugs!}, this pic is off my moblie, hence the weird blue hue; Scrappin time with Yvette!! So much fun!

So that was my 9 days in review! Did you get up to some interesting stuff too?

Hello!!

Hello all!

Wow, I had a fantastic weekend in Canberra with Yvette! It was great to sit and chat and drink hot choc and have heart shaped pancakes and go out for Goodberry's icecream and watch movies and sing along to video hits together! Plus I did the mega effort of 8 scrapbooking pages!! Woo Hoo {blowing on hooter!!} that surpassed my goal of 7 pages so happy me!! {happy dance}. I have wanted to blog all week, but blogger was down and I've been working back cos it has been fully hectic {bro} at work with the stupid Swine Flu!! Apparently everyone in Australia was in Mexico in the last 2 weeks... why wasn't I invited?!! Don't believe the news when they tell you they have tested 90 people in Australia, I had 30 samples sitting in my fridge ready to go off for testing today... I think they may be underestimating!! Anywho... thats off topic... back to my wonderful weekend! It was super!!

Here is the first page I did about this silly little thing Will and I have been doing at the moment, just crazyness but I wanted to document it anyway! And so I just used a random pic from recently, I like this pic {smiles}. I made a pact that I was going to use something OLD on every page, so that I can get through all my supplies! The Pebbles Inc words in top right corner and KI memories circle they're on are deemed OLD!! and the "adore" rub on I've had for a couple of years too {LOL!} So this one fits the bill. Yes, feel free to laugh at my "OLD" stuff, you probably had it ages ago. Or if you're just like me, you still have it {wink!! Its ok really, I wont tell anyone :) I'm sure even Yvette has some old stuff lying around...although I don't really remember seeing any!}.

This is the second page I did, pic taken by Felicity of gorgeous Cooper the other weekend at the park!! Look at him RUN!! I can't believe he can even walk, let alone run :) I love the wind in his hair {heart!} so cute! I was inspired by Yvette on this one, to cut out the circle shapes on the edge of the cardstock... that is way cool! I used up heaps of scraps here too, I didn't have to cut any of those papers, they came out of my scraps stash just like that... awesome!! The OLD on this page is the white "full of joy" rub-on by Making Memories. Yes, we all had them, and I still have a lot of them!! Plus the small square wooden piece that C's initials are on is also way OLD. Woot {cheering for using up old stuff!!}.

I hope you're proud of me! I'm pretty proud of these ones so far :) And there are more to come!!

Thanks so much for having me Yvette, I had a wonderful time and you are so inspiring to me!!

Love you!

Renew Me...

Look!! I finally got the shelves I have wanted for over 3 years!! Can you believe the furniture place still makes them? Awesomeness!

Here's the story: 3 years ago I wanted to get a beautiful set of timber shelves for all my scrappin stuff, something that could move with me through life and change purposes if needed, not a piece of crappy throw together furniture that wouldn't last me 1 move! I saw these shelves at Best Price Furniture, Manly Vale and took a pic on my mobile cos I loved them and looked at it on and off for the past few years. I have been really searching again over the last 12 months for a set of shelves but hadn't found any that fit the bill, til last weekend when Will and I headed over to Manly and we stopped off at Best Price.. and there they were! This time I wasn't going to let them go and I bought them there and then and they got delivered Wednesday! hurrah!! [Thanks Mum and Dad for your half of the shelves {hugs}!] It's really tall- if I stand next to it and extend my arm up it reaches the knuckles of my fingers, and is about 1.2m wide, so it's got plenty of room. It has movable shelves (which aren't shown here- all you see here are the fixed shelves) so I can switch up the storage configurations depending on my changing supplies. Awesome!I had fun working out the best way to display all my crap (ahem.. sorry, I mean supplies) and this is how I have it for the moment, do you like it?! If you have any suggestions let me know :) It's so nice to have a real, beautiful piece of furniture that even had that new furniture smell! It goes well with my new TV unit from last year too. It's almost like I have a "real" house now!!

Wow, I love it!! Excuse me for a bit while I go stand in front of it and admire it for a bit {wink!}

Mid Week Monotony...

Hello people!

Yes, it's been one of those weeks when I haven't done anything but work work work, and sleep a little {sigh}! So all I have to post is these 2 cards I made on Sunday night..and Yep, they're the same. You caught me out!! Well I did flip the drawing and use a different Jap girl, but I know you think I cheated... "this isn' 2 cards at all! It's one, twice!" Well I like them, so there! Although I wish they weren't "naked"- a card without a sentiment feels so naked to me! I have some card customers who have asked for cards with no sentiment so that they can use the card for any occasion, but I just feel like these sweet little girls need to say something! If only I could get a stamp that says "Arigato!" Well, maybe I can in 3 weeks and 1 day when we are off to the real Japan!! Woot! {cheering!} Excitement is totally overflowing now!

Yesterday morning I sat down with my map of Tokyo and a bunch of post-it note strips and marked out all the places I want us to visit! Will is such an easy person to travel with, in that he'll go wherever I tell him! lOl! Gotta love that :) I asked if there was anywhere he wanted to go and he just said "Temples, shopping, thats about it. I would rather see a little and enjoy it than a lot and be rushed." Hmm... Willy, very profound, sounds a bit like a good philosophy for life too!

Guess where I'm going on Friday? To Yvette's!! Yep, I'm going to have a weekend of extreme scrapping inspiration!! YAYYYYYYYYY!!!! I am so excited! I have known Yvette all my life, which is not unusual seeing as she is my sister. So much talent in my family, Lol!! Thanks Yvette for letting me invite myself down {wink!} I will set my target on 7 pages this year- I think I did 5 pages last year when I stayed? I'll have to go back and check out my posts from then. I'm excited!!

:) C

Up Early on a Sunday? Whats Happening!!

Hi Y'all! Yep, I was up at 7am. What?! I don't know, I was awake and that was that. So I jumped on the computer for a bit then got inspired to make some cards. Woo hoo!! I cased a card I found in my inspirations folders, this one is by The Scalloped Edge. I love my inspiration pics, I trawl through them when I lack ideas, I don't know what I would do without the Net! Honestly!!

Felicity pointed out I needed more little girl birthday cards for my box, and seeing as Mum's sale is in 2 weeks I thought I should get cracking at making some! Do you think a little girl would develop a complex if she got a card with an elephant on it? I love this elephant though, he's so cute!

Then I used my "Make one, make 2" ideal and made another card in the same LO but this time with a girly dragonfly. I don't seem to own any butterfly stamps! Imagine that! I thought this might be a bit more "girly" but I prefer the elephant one, he is just so cute with a checkered body! Anywho, 2 cards already when I thought I wasn't going to do anything creative today!

And then last of all was the last Jap girl card I made the other day but hadn't posted yet. All four of the Japanese girls in this Hero Arts set are just SO cute!! I hope I can use them somehow in my scrappin after our trip to Japan too!

We are heading into the city today to buy the Japanese Rail passes for our trip! It's only 24 sleeps away now!! EXCITEMENT!!!!

Project 365 Collage #12

I've caught up again now, so this collage is on time!! Hurrah!!

I'm starting off my collage this time with a pretty mundane thing- waiting in the long long lines for petrol at the Shell servo. How I miss filling up at midnight after my late shift at work- no lines!; I baked Easter Cupcakes! I love these gorgeous little sugar coated choc eggs that fit so snuggly on top!; on Good Friday Will and I headed over to Cronulla for Fish and Chips, we didn't find any at first so delighted ourselves with a Mr Whippy! But then after we jumped in the car and were heading home we found Notaras Seafood (quite nostalgic since the Notaras' owned the Saraton [Notaras spelt backward] Theatre and a Sawmill in the town where I was born!) and I have to say my Calamari Rings were delish!; my friend Linh's birthday dinner at the Brazillian BBQ restaurant in the city; Easter Sunday lunch- baked of course.. YUM!; poor Willy got cut out of this one, but it is morning tea with the parentals down at Wollongong harbour; the new book I'm reading called "Monsters" which is another true-life story of Mary Shelley who wrote Frankenstein; playing Rummykub with Mum and Dad while babysitting the babies; time to play with my new Japanese Girl stamps by Hero Arts.. see below for close ups!

So I have been pining for these cute little Japanese Girl stamps from Hero Arts (especially since we go to Japan in less than 1 month! Woot!! So I finally caved in and bought them last week and they arrived on Tues!! I had taken out all the girly papers from my scrap stash to make Mother's Day cards with- well I haven't done that yet, but I had fun making some other girly cards with the Jap girls! Aren't they just the sweetest! Maybe one day I'll have a baby that look like these little girls too (Will would say "Why? I'm not Japanese!" Yes Will, but to us Whities, all you Asians look the same, you know that! And I can say that cos I'm not racist... "Ngo Jung Man!" ha!- That was my attempt at saying I'm Chinese in Cantonese.. bare with me people, I'm still learning!!)

So here I am using the same piece of pearlised paper from my previous post! Can you believe it's not all used up yet? Come on!! Why will you not just use up already!! Sorry if I'm blabbing a bit but it is now 12:10 am, I worked for 11.5hrs then went and did the grocery shopping and for some reason I am still going and am not even sleepy yet!! I had a Milo and some dark Chocolate Lindt Easter bunny which may have made me excessively Hyper, but I feel like I am typing with no real reason except I don't want to go to bed. And of course, cos I want to share these cards with you!

I might save the last 2 for a weekend post, just in case I don't get anything else made over the weekend (I feel it may be one of those weekends!)

Happy Friday.. that may be another reason why I am Hyper... It's the weekend! Hurrah!!

:) C

I haven't forgotten you!

Hi Y'all! I hope you had a great Easter! I didn't really end up doing anything creative on the long weekend, so I don't have much exciting stuff to post! Although I did visit Mum and Dad and help Mum out with packaging and pricing all the stuff for her craft sale! It's an exciting time for her (and the rest of us!) and is less than 3 weeks away, so she's coming down to the "exam period" where its Craft Cramming time! Lol.

Here are a couple of cards I did last week when I was going through my stash of paper scraps and thought I would throw together some combinations of papers I haven't used before. I'm really keen on working through all my scraps so I can move onto new papers that I'm not sick of looking at! The top paper on this card is actually pearlised so it is so pretty IRL! I wanted a sentiment that didn't pigeonhole this card into any particular event, and this one is quite sweet! I like the font too. There's my new doily lace punch that Alicia bought me in America :) {hugs!}.

And then I made this same but different card with the same colours and papers but different LO. It's a bit less Uniform, and a little more fun-kay. Lol! At some point I do need to take my cards to some markets cos i have hundreds!! Can you believe it! And I need to sell them off so that I can have room for making more!

Off to work...

Easter Sunday :)

HE IS RISEN!! (Here is where you respond with: "He is Risen Indeed!" Go on, join the fun!)


I'm up early so I can get off to early church (with all the oldies at that time slot!) and get down to Mum and Dads before lunch. Luckily we didn't end up having a late night in the city last night so getting up at 7am wasn't too painful! The Brazillian BBQ was delicious! Although it was all meat, with a bit of cheese and salsa so my poor insides were screaming out for some greens! We didn't end up going to a club afterwards with my friend cos we were so stuffed! It was very tasty though :)

You may have noticed I've done a few scrap pages lately, it's been wonderful to be able to squeeze in some time to sit at my desk and create! This page marks my 29th for the year which is awesome cos I usually try to do an average of 1 page per week, so 52 for the year. I missed the target in 2007, I think I only did about 36 pages, last year I smashed it with 68 and this year I'm well on my way to reaching target, it being only week 15 of the year! I'm quickly running out of page protectors though, and I can't find a stockist of my favourite ones in Australia (the shop I used to buy them off closed down and then I bought 100 when I was in the states in 2006 but they're almost all used up!) I use "Memory Book" brand by C-Line so if you see anyone with them let me know!

This page is from our Road Trip/Beach Holiday last Oct. Will was so cute, heading off down the far end of the beach to search through the rocks for some sea life! The shells, fish and crabs were so tiny in the Rockpools!! My camera wouldn't even focus on the baby crab cos he was so small! Its nice to have this paper out of my stash cos I've had it for about 4 or so years. Do Crate Paper still exist? I only ever saw them once, when I bought 2 papers! It's got a beautiful texture this paper, but the colours are more muted than what I am using at the moment. But I love the spots! Brace yourself for a wanky statement: "The title is not uniform, as I wanted it to convey a sense of the water washing around the pools, examplified by the spots on the paper." How's that for a wanky design statement!
Happy Easter! I hope you get lots of delicious eggs!

Project 365 Collage #11

Wow, can you believe we are now past 100 days into the year? That's unbelievable! This year has already flown past.. quick grab on before it passes you by! So, another 9 days have passes (actually this collage was due last Tues, so forgive me!) and there are some of the more every-day type things happening this time: I am lucky enough to have a boy who likes to cook! He is especially fantastic at Fried Rice, it is so so delicious! Here he is demonstrating the tradition Chinese method of eating rice called "Shovelling"; chairs all lined up at the Market Research night I did for 3 mobile. They called me 4 times to make sure I was coming and insisted I not be late- I arrived on time and was only one of 2 people, everyone else (including the moderator) was late!; Yvette's birthday card {owls=love!}; two of my favourite things for winter- tights and my new Boots from Target- an absolute bargain on sale for $32, gotta love them!; no overtime means time to paint my toenails, Yay!; Samira's birthday party in the city (there's my cool new dress!); yeah it's time for "The Great Bedroom Clean Up" which I'm proud to say happened and now I have a whole floor to walk around and lay on etc, not just a path through the middle, hooray!; delivering Easter Pamphlets to local letterboxes for church; me in my new favourite Little Red Riding Hood T-shirt I got last weekend. Isn't it the sweetest?!! Actually, it's probably a little too small to see here, but trust me, it's way cute :)

Thanks Yvette, but I wasn't fishing for complements in the last post when I said I didn't like my pages at the moment! I am planning on getting a bunch of pics printed this week so that I can have some more inspiring pics to scrap, and therefore make pages that i like! I did this page this week and I do acutally like it. I think the green and purple combo will be a fresh addition to my album and it suits the pics from Jacaranda last year! The purple paper is so bold IRL and goes nicely with the more muted green. I had fun doing the journalling straight on the PP with hand-drawn white pen lines underneath. The artisan frame I got as a thank you when I bought some stamps off ebay. Awesome! I have used up all but one piece of about 9 that the lovely lady gave me. Hurrah for freebies!

I've had a pretty constructive day today, getting up early and heading off to Ofis, the Harvey Norman Officeworks-type store that is closing down. I got some cool bargains, like a 4GB fast speed Memory Card for my camera for only $20. Bargain! Plus more scissors for my Stampin Up kit cos I never have enough and some pretty paper and envelopes. Then it was off to Parra Westfield to exchange money for Japan (only a month away!! EXCITEMENT!!) and get Linh a present. And I found my new favourite store there.. Cupcakes on Pitt. DELICIOUS! I know I make my own cupcakes but these looked so cute and were only $2 each and came in a cute carry box so I had to try 2 out! I got a Lemon Merangue and a Black Forrest Cupcake. I have to say the Lemon Merangue one was totally delicous! Oh so fluffy merangue and delicious lemony taste!! Heaven! The Black Forrest one was also nice, but honestly, it's not hard to make a delicious chocolate cupcake. I recommend Cupcakes on Pitt! If you're looking for them at Parra they are on the very bottom level in the walkway that leads from the bottom level food court over toward the station. Try them! You'll love them too!

I'm off to the city again tonight, this time for my friend Linh's birthday. We're having Brazillian BBQ this time which will be interesting, I haven't had that before!

Sally Homemaker is BACK!!

Hi Y'all. Sittin' here, waitin' for my cupcakes to cool so I can ice 'em and go to bed! It's almost midnight! I did a 12hr shift today, finished at 10pm and while I was at work I realised it's already wednesday so if I wanted to get some home cookin' to my friends for Easter it has to be tonight!! Hence, rushed off to Woolies after work, got home and had the cupcakes in the oven 20mins later. Ah, practice... it makes for quick cupcake making! They're not your run-of-the-mill strawberry swirl special either (the usual quick ones I make)- I made Double Chocolate today. And they look mighty fine!! Yum! I may have had a little lick of the bowl so am on a slight sugar high.. mmmm... so so so good :)


I did this page the other day... I think I'm stuck in a rutt. I don't like the pages I have done lately. I put it down to a combo of not being inspired by any of the pics in my collection and so not having any real enthusiasm to make a good page with them! I think this page was trying to be too much, and ended up looking a bit like the dog's dinner! But it just passes muster because of the cool Japanese (although Will says it's Chinese, but don't tell anyone) text paper down the left side. That paper is way cool. I've used it a bit acutally which has been amazing since I only bought the one sheet of it. But thats cos I'm a hoarder remember, so squirrel away every tiny piece like they'll all of a sudden stop making paper and I'll be left with nothing to do. Let me know if that ever happens, I probably wont notice for a couple of years til I run out of paper!
At least this page used up a lot of scraps. I'm pretty proud of our outfits- I sewed my Sailor Moon outfit and Will and I assembled his car with lots of Japanese racing stickers etc. Pretty cool :)
I think the Cupcakes should be cool enough now!
:) C

Oh, so early... am I awake yet?

Hey y'all. I'm Up and At-om {giggles thinking of that Simpson's episode} already and it's only 7:30. You know it's way too early for me so this may be a short post!

We were super busy again at work last night, being 4 ppl down all day and with Will and I not doing OT (they never survive without us!) They shut down my sub-department so they could use my staff and then I had a staffer call in sick this morning so I decided to wake up early and head into work early. Early for me is to start at 8am, so I"m sorry if thats your normal start time but I don't cope too well with it! And I'll probably end up working 12hrs or more too, oh, the pain, I'm feeling it already!!

Share time! This is a page I finished on Friday about my sisters and a couple of reasons why I love them! There are more, but they couldn't all fit on the page {wink!}. I wish the pic was bigger but I don't print my pics at home and I had originally printed it this size and wasn't inspired by any other pics in my collection so I had to scrap this one! I picked up a whole bunch of scraps off my desk to embellish this page- the semi-transparent bird I found fallen down the back of my desk when I took out my sewing machine the other day! The little scalloped spotty bit, the stamped circle, the big silver brad and the ribbon were all little bits found around the top of my desk! It's nice to have them out and on a page now! Do you like the Martha Stewart Doily edge punch at the top of the flower paper? Alicia got it in America for me, I love it! Sorry for the terrible pic, I've found it really hard to take nice pics in the bad weather lately. Plus now with Daylight saving over it gets dark before I get home from work! Boo Hoo!!

Well, better run off to work now, hope your week started well!

:) C

Hurrah for Saturday!!

I woke up this morning, expecting a beautiful day only it's grey and gloomy today! I'm sure I put my order in for a warm sunny day! It must have gone astray. Then my Hostess for Sunday's Stampin Up party just called to say her husband has suspected Whooping Cough and we'll have to reschedule.. bummer!! I was gearing up for a fun party too... another time. I am totally understanding though, knowing the number of Whooping Cough specimens we have been getting the last 4 months in at work, it's definitely an epidemic! And I would totally rather reschedule than end up with a class full of people who get whooping cough! Steer clear of coughing people!

So, it's someone special's birthday tomorrow... my sister Yvette! You will all know her from her Astronauts and Space Sharks blog, seeing as most of you come to me from her blog! I think she's turning 25 or so {wink.. did you like that one Y?} so head on over and wish her a Happy Birthday for April 5! I sent off her birthday parcel this week and she got it in 1 day- hooray Australia Post {high five... slap!}. She hasn't opened it yet (or at least thats what she says) so I can't share but I can share her card which she has had a sneak peak at. Don't you just love the owls! These guys are all Hero Arts owls I got at the Art Stamps stall at Craft Fest back in early March. They are just gorgeous! And I got the tiny mushrooms in bottom left corner and the sentiment there too :) I am loving that they have all the stamps as separates cos I got so many different stamps from different sets. Love them! I also love the Hero Arts woodgrain circle I used in the BG. I think I might get the woodgrain rectangle shape next time too, I love woodgrain!
EDITED SAT AFTERNOON:
Hey y'all! I didn't get to finish my post this morning before Alicia knocked on my door and it was shopping time! We spent 5hrs at Chatswood and had an awesome time!! I got Samira a birthday present for her party tonight, got a gorgeous "Purr" shirt with Little Red Riding Hood on it- so cute!, got about 5 gift packs of Natio products which I use all the time and my regular products were on a huge discount in these packs, plus I got new products to try like a facial mask and body wash... awesome! There was one pack I got for $15 then it was 10% off and it was valued at $45. Now that's what I call a saving!! And I thought I didn't like shopping at David Jones! I also got these totally awesome Rocket Dog (who made my fave punk skull shoes that I wear all the time) red check gum boots. Awesomeness for this rainy weather!! They were on sale for $45 from $90, hurrah {blowing on hooter!} The downside was I tried on about 10 trench coats but none of them were right. Either too big, too small, too baggy in places, too short, too short in the arms, gross buttons... why is it so hard?!! If I could find one just like Felicity's that I borrowed for our anniversary cruise than I would be happy.. but no! I may just freeze tonight in the city in my short dress after all, but it's all in the name of fashion so some sacrifices have to be made :)
Have a good Saturday night!! I've already broken out the champagne, so it's hotting up for me! {hick!}
Happy Birthday to Yvette for tomorrow!! {MWAH XOXOXO}

Stampin Up Class on Sunday :)

Hi Y'all!

Did you know the new Stampin Up Catalogue began on April 1? No joke! Jump on over to http://www.stampinup.com/ and you can follow the links there. About half the catalogue is new stamps and there are heaps on my list already! Top of my list is Trendy Trees, man that set is so cute!!

I have an SU class on Sunday booked way back in January at Fliss's best friend's class, so it's for a bunch of ladies I don't really know. It should be fun (but I always get a little nervous!) It's great to be able to share the new catalogue with them so soon after it starts! It's gonna get me really inspired I think (and hope)!

Here are the samples I have made so far using "Good Friend" which is one of the new sets. I hopefully will get time tonight to make a few more samples for show and tell at the class- I don't have OT but I am dead tired from yesterday's 13hr shift! I hope it's an easy day at work so I am still motivated when I get home!! Plus I have "Over the Hedge" on DVD that I bought last Sunday to watch, you know I love a good animated film!
So this first card is the one we are going to be making in the class. It took me only about 10 mins to make, I hope they take a little longer than that or class will be over quick smart! Lol! Maybe we might make 2 cards with this set. I think the giant bird is just so cool in this set. I don't have any birds this size, it would be perfect for scrappin too so I'll have to break it out for my pages sometime.

And this is the second card I made using the Good Friend set and Say it With Scallops (also a fave of mine). I like to make a couple of totally different cards with the same set to show it's versatility, and this posie one I think is so cool! I love the different funky flower images that come in "Good Friend", I hope the ladies at the class love it as much as I do!

The other card we will make is probably going to be one of the popsicle cards. Remember them? I am a bit bummed that they retired the Kia Ora set cos it comes with this "Sweet as" phrase in it which goes so well on these popsicle cards! I'll have to dig around for another sentiment that is just as cute :)

I have a pretty busy weekend, having breakfast and a shopping day with Alicia tomorrow followed by a friend's birthday dinner in the city and out to the Argyle afterwards. Then the SU party sunday, it's gonna be pretty tiring!!

Don't you just love Fridays though, a normal shift at work then Law and Order and some card making then it's Saturday tomorrow! Awesome!!

Happy Friday!

Project 365 Collage #10

It's time for another Collage! Actually I am 3 days overdue for a collage so the next one might seem a bit sooner than expected.. you prob wont notice though hey? Nah..So this is what the last 9 days as held for me: finally getting to do some cardmaking with Felicity in Cooper's sleep time :) I miss our creative jam sessions; visiting the Mathilda's Markets with F,C and A- mini cupcakes, yum!; Will's friend Ric's birthday at Pancakes on the Rocks- you can't beat it for deliciousness; some of my recent vintage finds- the yellow vase came from Salvos (cost me $2) and the gorgeous Teal jug I bought at the Rozelle Markets for $15 and I love it!! Both times Alicia was with me, so she must attract good stuff to me when we're shopping!; staying back for overtime at work on a rainy night; Will decorates the aliquotting mask (like a welder's helmet)- I think it makes him look like he has emotion for once!; sewing my Babushka doll!; V Fest with Willy! You'll notice I actually have 2 pics of V Fest cos Sunday's pic is still on my mobile phone- {sobbing} someone reversed into my drivers side door on my car, left a big scrape and dint and drove away without leaving their details. :( if you know me you know I love my little car so this was a totally crap event! I'm still crying inside. If you saw anyone in Berala run into a Yellow Mazda can you please let me know!! Grrrrr!!

Yay, thursday night= eating out night at work! Hurrah!
