Married

Moon = Aunty Fi-Nona's house

This morning we were outside putting grey water on the garden and the moon was still quite visable.

Nat said to Drew "Drew, have a look at the moon!"

Drew said "That's where Aunty Fi-Nona lives, (in) Perth"

If you remember this layout http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EsL1Hp-qTcA/SYF4Z7HFrWI/AAAAAAAAAxg/0oo_UzpoOEU/s1600-h/Aunty-Nona....jpg the boys thing Aunty Fiona lives in either the moon or earth! ROFL...

Cheers,

Ros

Quoteable moments

"Hi, I'm Nikki" said Nikki to out next door neighbour whilst walking to the local park

"I'm Drewie" said Drew "and this is my friend, Dad"

 

"I need to goilet" said Bella (go toilet)

A weekly roundup!

Slack blogger. Yup that is me. There has been a fair bit going on but I just haven’t had time to blog about any of it. That and I have had a couple of migraines this past week. Ewww yucky!
 
Saturday last weekend was my brother’s 30th birthday. We went to one of the local pubs in town with many family members and had a great meal. Afterwards, the kids had a ball in the local park. 

Picture of my brother, his wife, my niece, my kids and my SIL’s niece. Warren told the kids to pull funny faces, and of course, look at the ones that listened!

 
I tried going on the swing at the park, and it wasn’t made for adults is all I can say. I think this picture of me says it all... LOL and now I have a huge yucky bruise on the side of my thigh... I was going to take a picture of it, but then again, I don’t think the whole world needs to see my naked thigh!

 
Josh had a major meltdown at school on Wednesday morning, he wanted to be Mr Independent and walk into school by himself. It ended up with me carrying him in like a baby and sore arm muscles to this day still.
 
Wedding plans are moving along. Still need to make place cards but here are some pics of the hen’s party invite and wedding invite. Just over 2 weeks to go now. Still need to organise my jewellery (know what I want though) and just had my hair dyed today.

 

(Invites in my journal as a wedding keepsake) Sorry for crappy pics!
Materials list: (Hen’s night invite)
Cardstock: Soft sky, wild wasabi
Stamps: Big on Spring
Ink: Basic Black, Soft Sky
DSP: Spring silhouettes
Other: 2 way glue pen, dazzling diamonds, seed beads, white grosgrain ribbon, scallop edge punch

 
Materials list: (Wedding invite)
Cardstock: Basic grey, whisper white, basic black
Ink: Taken with teal, gold encore, basic grey
Stamps: Season of joy
Other: Black grosgrain ribbon, doodlebug embossed cardstock

 

Had a few SU workshops and have my final class for March tomorrow. We are making this explosion card.

 

Materials list:
Stamps: Outlined for fun, Baroque motifs
DSP: Bali Breeze
Cardstock: Old olive, Whisper white
Other: Embossing powder, versamark, brads, felt fusion flowers

 
The new catalogue is released in less than 3 weeks and I can’t wait. I haven’t got my copy yet and am anxiously waiting for it. If anyone wants to pre-order a catalogue they are $12 picked up from me in Skye or $15 delivered. Contact me on [email protected] or call me on 0407 353 325.
 
Having a bad day here, got slugged a fine for mail that didn’t have enough postage, more than happy to pay the additional postage but the $1.50 extra per letter I am not!!! I wish I was contacted before they sent them all and charged me an additional $51! Got sent a parking infringement in the mail today too for parking on the nature strip while taking Josh and Callum to school. Cranky, but I can cope that. Problem is, the street (well court) I was parked in, if I parked on the road, you can barely get another car past. Okay, gripe over!
 
Best go to bed. Need an early night since the migraines are giving me the s&%^s!
 
Cheers,
Ros

Update

A quick update about the bushfire appeal. On Friday (27th of Feb) just two weeks after beginning the bushfire appeal, so far, $34,653.80 has been raised! OMG! I know that the total will have increased this weekend as being the last day of sale-a-bration I have recieved many orders from people ordering any number of the bushfire appeal stamp sets (particulary priceless!) I am currently kicked out of my home, DH (Nat) is having his bucks party at our house today/tonight so me and the kids had to go. I am crashing the night at my mum's house (and she is away on holidays) so it is not all bad but the lots of packing, cleaning etc. I had to do before leaving was crazy. I had to pack for my workshop, clothes etc. and finish cleaning the stuff Natty hadn't thought of etc... Ahhh I will be glad tomorrow evening when I get my house back (in a nice neat order... I hope Nat takes notes... LOL) and am enjoying my home cooked roast that Nat is cooking for me.... Off to deal with dinner stuff. Ros

Retirement list

The long awaited retired stamps and accesories list is now here. I for one, have been anxiously waiting for it as we (as Stampin' Up! demonstrators) didn't get advance notice like we do for mini catalogues...

Just briefly, I will mention that my settings have all gone haywire as I am currently switching over to Typepad and had an operator error on my blogspot blog. For the month of March, I will be updating both my blogs, http://www.rosoakes.blogspot.com/ and http://www.rosdavidson.typepad.com/. (The difference in the two blog addresses, aside from one being blogger and the other being typepad is the typepad address will be my married name from next month).

This year, Stampin' Up! has listed all retiring items as a pdf document which can be downloaded

from here. I am a little sad to see some of the stamp sets going, (I am losing 34 stamp sets!) but then, I can only get excited about what is to come in the new catalogue.

Cheers,

Ros

P.S. If anyone else has any thoughts that might make things easier to read/understand etc. feel free to contact me so I can work with what you, my customers want.
