Time Waits for No Man (or Woman)

Well here we go again, time is just flying by me. I have had good intentions of keeping up to date with my blog but another month rolls on by. Ho hum!

Well today I have bitten the bullet and applied for a job, all be it part time but a job it is. Fingers crossed, not sure how I will go but optimistic at this stage that I will at least get an interview.

There are so many things we will be able to do with a little extra money. For the past 24 years we have managed on one wage, - bought cars, paying off a mortgage, had our own business for 5 years and raised 4 children. There has been little chance to save anything for a rainy day and things are getting harder all the time. So the time is right to try and get that elusive extra cash to do some home repairs, upgrade vehicles, get some good clothes etc etc.

Mind you I wouldn't have changed a thing if I could have my time over again - I believe it is so important to the family for Mum to be at home while the kids are young. My youngest is now 14 so guess they are now old enough to look after themselves while Mum goes out to work.

Anyway I will just wait patiently and see what happens.
Wish me luck :)

Who's Been Slack?

It has been quite a while since I last posted here. Had to laugh at the last post.....I didn't even make a start with being organised......just continued on doing things as I have always done them..lol

Feb saw me have my other knee replacement which has been fantastic....It is just so good to be able to walk without all that knee pain.

March was spent recuperating while being spoilt by hubby and the kids.

Haven't done much on the craft front either....completed a couple of L/Os but havent taken any photos, have been playing with some flower making...paper flowers and crochet flowers which were so much fun.

This week we celebrated our 25th. wedding anniversary....can't believe how fast those years have flown...looking forward to the next 25. :) We celebrated just with the 4 kids and our grandson.....bought takeaway Chinese (which is what we ate for dinner the night of our wedding....we had a morning wedding) and my DD made a pavlova.
Monday sees me another year older....but I still feel like I'm about 20 even if the body acts as if its 70. ROFL
I'm past celebrating my birthdays....who wants to be reminded that they are getting older!

Hope you have are having a great day.

My New Challenge

I found this great challenge here and thought it would be a great way to try and keep the clutter down in this house. It's a pity I am such a hoarder LOL. The idea is to declutter 52 things over 52 weeks so I am going to give it a try. Wish me luck. I will have to start tomorrow when there are less people in the house.

CHRISTMAS IS NIGH!!!!

It's almost CHRISTMAS! Can you believe it, I'm having real trouble getting into the swing of things. Have been shopping in the past week and almost finished the pressies but haven't thought about the food yet!!! It will happen whether I'm ready or not. LOL

Things have been busy as always...school things, work, family and work celebrations, and the usual family/house/life committments and so it goes on!

Merry Christmas to everyone, hope you all have a great time and that 2011 is a fantastic year for you.

It's been a while

Well hasn't it been a while since I blogged. Life just gets busy and there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day for me.

I've been able to have a little play with my new goodies but would've liked to play much more.....my turn will come I guess.
Have placed my first order but yet to get organised to start demos. It'll be just like an early Christmas when my goodies arrive! :) :)

Speaking of Christmas, I can't believe it is only 6 weeks away. Where has the year gone?? I'm usually so organised and have my shopping done by October at the latest but the older the kids get the harder I am finding it to buy for them.

This week I have managed to get about half my shopping done, haven't thought about the food side of things yet. Usually leave that until the last week.

We have a couple of birthdays to celebrate before then too. My brother's 60th and my son's 14th. Also have to have xrays, blood tests, drs and specialist appointment before Xmas too. Ho hum no wonder time is just flying.

Until next time stay safe and well

My Kit is here!

My kit arrived 5 days ago and I have managed a little play, it is so good. The kids have enjoyed it as well.
I'm having a catalogue party from now until the end of October, so if anyone would like to have a look at the catalogue click HERE! Contact me by email or for those who know me, give me a call.

Tomorrow I am hoping to have a day home alone so hope to have another little play with my new toys.

I've got BIG news!

Earlier this week I signed up to become a KASZAZZ consultant. Kaszazz is an Australian company that sells scrapbooking and stamping products.
Woohoo! Can't wait to get my kit and start playing. My kit should be here in about 10 days.

Check out their online catalogue here.

I'm SO excited, the range of products is extensive and amazing. So looking forward to the Journey.
Bring it ON! :-)
