rachy: June 2009

I scrapped... and for me... not for a present, not for a job... just for me! lol

It is for a challenge on the OUT OF THE HAT blog... but I had fun doing it... took forever to sew those flourishes though... but yeah worth it in the end!
In other important news... I managed to snag myself a gorgeous cardigan today and am thrilled it has sleeves that go all the way to my wrists! I get trends and styles etc but seriously trying to find something nice that wasnt those little cap sleeves or 3/4 sleeves and wasnt rediculously expensive was an effort in itself. What is up with the sleeves anyway? Am I the only person on the planet who's arms get cold too?
Thats my rant for today lol.
Night all!

Still crazy busy around here... lots of stuff happening... next weekend is going to be a big one considering its a long weekend... Jed has a birthday party on saturday, Abbee is cheerleading on sunday and Jed has his first proper eistedfod on monday. After the eistedfod we are heading up to visit my aunties and deliver their new dryer. Last weekend was filled with a lovely tupperware party (complete with cocktails and jelly shots lol), a kids birthday party at one of those indoor play centres (not a good idea the morning after cocktails and jelly shots lol) and attempting to get some washing done amongst the wild wet weather!
I also have a big job at the moment making a set of wedding stationary... save the date cards, invitations, place cards, menus and thank you cards... so been running around getting materials together and starting work on those.
I have some photos to pick up in the morning and tomorrow come hell or high water (which is likely with the amount of rain we have had lately) I will scrap something for me... havent done so since before we moved at the start of April.
Last monday Rod had the day off so we headed out for a nice quiet lunch together... so good to get out without kids sometimes... lol. I took along the old point and shoot camera and got a couple of cool shots...

Rod's lunch (chicken burger)

And me and Rod (gotta love a self portrait shot!)
