its another day....

a big callout for dh who is abroad at the moment and who is feeling a bit homesick - yes its been 5 sleeps and we do miss you DH ... and we know that you miss us ... i wonder if they can put together our passports over the weekend and then we could fly over there to be with you... maybe not... cause i am not big on the plane thing ...and maybe its not homesickness that you have - it could be the food that you ate - a case of "usa belly" - a likeness to bali belly i guess... what would you call that??? --- i'd call it --- "drink more to kill the bugs" - lol.

So a bit of an update - the peeps and i had a play date at the park with Caroline and our beautiful goddaughters ..{ oh and i got a noice shot of you Aunty and your eldest daughter, i think we will have to print them out for a mini album- if you grace us with your presence this weekend we will put a mini together for you and a 12x layout too}. The peeps all had a ball, well what little people don't like climbing? oh and our son has a new saying with me - he kinda walks past as if nothing is going on and says "hey tracey" -- in that 'what doya think' kinda voice... absolute card - everytime he does it i crack up laughing and forget to pull him up for not calling me mum...

My class over at Stamp Antics is already to roll for February - I will be teaching an Inspirational Quote album, and i have a few ideas for other classes scrambled up in the space between my ears - i just have to make them and run with it, i might give that a nudge over the weekend.

I went to a Stampin up party tonight with a group of fabulous friends and bought a couple of ink pads...and some other stuff but its too late to remember what ....

The peeps had gym training for 4 hours today - had a blast and miss chicken had a friend from gym come over for a play for the afternoon - she had a great time.

oh yes - he has still not cut his hair - he truly wants to be like bernard fanning -- go you good thing -- and , old matey, if you play guitar and compose songs like him i will be your number one groupie!

and miss chicken is having a great time - and it seems the early adolescent behaviour seems to have disappeared for the time being - i am so blessed...lol

I am looking forward to tommorow cause i am almost finished scrapping my drawers from ikea - yippeee... and i want to get a start on my easel ... better still the paintings that i will create on it would be good to start tommorow {as if that will happen ....lol}---oh and the craft room needs me to hire a cleaner to get it back in working order cause i seem to have stuff everywhere.

a bit of a cruddy photo, but a sneak of what they are gonna look like ... hopefully i will load up new photos tommorow of the finished drawers.

Yesterday i booked into a Creative sewing class that starts next week - i will be making an octagonal box with a pincushion inside - very intriguing when you see it... it even has a lid -- can't wait to get a start on that next week. I also got together the fabrics for the dress to my sculpted doll - so depending on the weekend i might try to get a start on that too...plus i need to embroider the wings for her as well.

My little sis will be gracing me with her presence friday for a few days -and we are having ourselves a scrapping weekend - so it should be a great weekend - i might try and do some mini album kits for the weekend so that the peeps have some craft to do as well ... oh and with her staying i will get to sleep too.... yay .....say goodbye to bags under the eyes as of monday - lol.

I still have not shopped for the peeps school books and they all go back to school tuesday - i suppose i have plenty of time - and to tell the truth i am really not looking forward to them going back to school - i have really enjoyed our school holidays this year & its a shame for it to end.


a quote for today....
