Golly Gosh

Yes Linda, I can hear you sniggering at my choice of words......but GOLLY GOSH it's been 3 weeks since I was here and that is far too long!

Life has been busy and hectic and time gets away too fast.....can you believe it's the start of daylight savings already? I have to say I'm not really liking it so far....didn't even think about starting dinner tonight until 7.30, which of course meant a late night for the kids. Just as well it's the middle of the school holidays I am thinking.

OK, some pics......

Renovations galore at Sunnydale right now...

Kate's 11th birthday party at the circus, where the clown played a trick on her (much to her embarrassment and our amusement!)...

A visit from an echidna helping himself to something tasty in the tree trunk....

Paddy graduated from his "puppy play pen" to a chain and a 44 under a tree, just like Dad...

....and to think this is how small he was 4 months ago....

...an early birthday pressie for moi (can you guess what's inside?)...

Some scrapping to share.....

This one was part of a Scrapping Whisper at Home & Scrapped...

A birthday theme challenge for Design Dollies...

DD sketch....

And a DD Elements Recipe (a ticket, yellow, paint, polka dots and lots of journaling....tricky huh!)

Do you like this paper???

I really REALLY do....and it's part of the stash I'm working with for the class I'm running at the retreat I'm going to very soon - my very first one ever!!! Excitement plus!

Also exciting - my birthday! Well, not the birthday so much (it's not a nice number), just the PARTY we're planning! Yay yay and double yay!
