Its been awhile sorry about that chief. i have been working a lot.
Our Kia Carnival died and we had to ask my brother for $5500 for a shit box which is blowing (i think so anyway) toxic fumes into the car via the heater. so now we have drive in the dead of winter with the windows down. Sounds like a scene from a road trip movie or something but any how things seem to be turning around . I was walking around the shopping centre called Fountain Gate about 20 mins from me and i thought "That is it!~!!!!!! from here on in we are finanicially abundant and low and behold michael got three phone calls and two were for handy man jobs. worth about $800 together the other was for a interview .OMGOSHHHH!!!!! like he finally got a interview so that wonderful thick soft bushy beard got shaved off. oh well i will just have to toughen up. and then on friday he got a call from the company that gave him the flick 15 months ago. and he has an interview with them on thursday .... so heres hoping that he gets the job. that will put us back on track.

Andrew is on the home track to the last 12 of school. He is going to Lindemann Island for schoolies week, Luck Bastard!

hello friends

2010-04-21T18:39:00.000-07:00

Its been awhile, i finally was working 23 hours a week managed to save at towards my trip to America to visit my best friend Krista. . Michael not having steady work has been really stress ful to say the least . so if i don't get many hours then i know i can't help him out with the bills. BUMMER

On the craft front i have been making a little green bag which actually turned out amazing. it doesn't hold much but i think i have falling in love with the little green bag.

so i am reading as a man thinketh!

2010-02-25T15:28:00.000-08:00

and i realise that most of what we are in now is of our own thinking ... bummer!!!!
i have focused my way out of situations before and know that it works. i know i have ,at night, sat in a quite room and visualize being slim to the point where i had lost 27 kgs and life got a lot easier . but the trick is to keep it up. and now 8 years down the track we are at a point where we are only just making ends met. so i have realised that i need to get back into the situation where i am visualising every night being slim flying over to LA to visit a dear friend , michael having a very well paid job.

i have stgart watercolour lessons from the internet. and i think i like them my first painting will be of three beautiful poppies though at this point one of them looks like it got a bit too much sun LOL!

well what ya know!

i was half way through my paperun this morning and what do you think i saw? a kangaroo jumping across the street . you see i don't see them a lot around where i live man it just made my day/morning just to it hoppin' just as easy as you please.

sorry it's been a while

2009-10-12T15:33:00.000-07:00

sorry it's been a while. the paperun ... well... two drivers got the sack and so i hav been filling in 7 days a week and on saturdays i have been doing two runs and sundays two runs. the money is nice but the car doesn't like it and i got exhausted. finally had last friday off and it looks like another driver is going .. i got a bit of a promotion i am going to be doing the wrapping of the papers on a monday morning. the idea in long term is for me to do sunday , monday, tuesday , wednesday and have thrusday friday saturday ,,,yeah that sounds pretty good to me.

bridget broke her arm at tae kwondo and anthony has been doing scout camps left right and centre to qualify for the jamboree which is about thirty minutes drive from where mum and dad live so they want him to stay there after the jamboree.. we won't see him until late january..

I went to the beading and quilting show today wow those quilters are an amazing bunch.
would have been really nice to go with someone but it was also nice to spend the day by myself.
bought heaps of beads for rosary beads. and some shirley barbers fairy material. to make pull string bags . couple of people i know on atcsforall.com are a bit down so I have made something small to cheer them up.

had a really busy couple of weeks but I am only working one day this week , so I have a chance to catch my breath. Bridget and I went to Chadstone shoping centre yesterday and had a lovely day. I got some more lush soap and some facial scrub which I find leaves my skin feeling sooo soft , I ususally get really dry skin after washing it so usually i don't bother with any product. but this stuff angels on the skin (or something) it just really great and I also bought a drink bottle from smiggles and two romance novels and two papercraft mags. got a jumper and looked at some togs too(swimmers, bathers, cossies)had a really good day. oh yeah on the way home I popped into spotlight and got polymer clay( bright yellow ) to make buttons for my crocheted cardnigan I am making. and I also made a mushroom button which is huge but hey I just call it huge & not perfect.

hi everyone,
I have had a busy week. $90 million in the shop and then people coming in to check their tickets and then their payouts. todya we had a blackout in pakenham and thus the tatts counter easied off and the sales still were up but when the power went back on it was on for young and old. but this kind of thing keeps one on ones toes.
i got a victorian craft mag on sunday and have made two things out of it . I got the dottie dolls fever lasts year but in the mag they had soul divas basically the same but by a textile artist named sarah lawerence her website www.craftynotions.com lovely stuff. they also have a marvel caped that is crocheted so when I have finished the cardigan i am crochet for my self at this point(lol) it's nice to pick up my crocheting hooks again. i crochet a baby sling for harvesting vegies it's turned out pretty good holds quite a bit. I made it because in the summer when I am out in the garden and I see vegies that I need to harvest I can just pick them and not go in side and have one of the kids distract me or me distract myself with other things soo I went to spot light and got a pattern book (on special of course! lol) and some very bright multicoloured wool. well i don't know what happened but I bought 6 balls of wools toooo many so I thought I might as well do some thing else because Icrochet while i watch tv so that's it from me.
cheerss

hi everyone,
hubby is still at home and I am working about 20 hours a week at the newsagency. this week we had a $50 million lottery draw which jackpotted to $90 million next tuesday. so closing at the shop was amazing. people were lined up down the street 30 minutes before close and victoria and I stood there for 3 hours straight serving one customer after another they just kept on coming.
I have tried pouring resin again but am at a loss as to how to get it looking professional. I am also making some mobile phone/cell phone charms/dangles I want to try and sell them on etsy.

Hi everyone

here they are my atcs for the alphabet soup. had fun.

Ok it was a good day

2009-05-04T01:50:00.000-07:00

It was a good day today I got actually spend some time in the garden pulling up all the pumpkin vines. I also move the chooks again and that makes it twice in a week in theory I should leave them on the same spot for two weeks but I am eager to get on with winter vegies. I have a dehydrator now and I really want to do some winter vegies.
Got offer two ducks yesterday not sure how we will get around the pups but we have to think about it some more. One thing I do know that they will keep down the snails and that will be a good thing.

just a quick note before the kids come running!

2009-04-28T22:53:00.000-07:00

Well, I finally got a day to myself and loved it ...put on my mp3 player then went out to my studio. which looks like a mad womans breakfast, but I really don't care I just need to create. I finished my muppets swap I painted gonzo, animal, and rowlf. and a personal trade of one of my cards called pixie feet. I had a big nana nap and go to weight watchers tonight , ( which I know I have put on weight but as of tomorrow I am back on track.) better go shopping and stock up.
well, got to go Anthony has an oral presentation next week and I need to go shopping for cardboard and glitter gems and stuf to make a sword.
cheers
