A bit of a catchup.....

 Its been a bit of a busy few days at our place...

Appart from the functions and weddings i did this weekend

we also did some other fun things!!!

The Christmas Craft Markets were on

and I took Emelia down to make some money for Emerald next year.

Its a bit hard for her to hold a proper job at the moment, 

as she is doing a traineeship with me

(Which is similar to TAFE and it isn't a paid traineeship)

and she goes to Armidale most weekends.

so she does some physical work for me when she can to earn some $

Here we are at the markets!!

Ready to go!

Well, if i made 1 fish, i would have made 50 i think!

This is the fish.

I retail them for $10, but as it was a markets

i was doing them for $6...

They were very popular!

We also had a visit from this guy!!
Look at the shoulders on him!!!

Now for some real excitement for those ametuer photographers!!!

We had a party to go to on Saturday night.

I dont get out much so took the Opp to take some selfies...

And i just recently bought the most awesome actions for PSE.

Here is one i did with on of my photos..

The guys name is Trevor Dayley

and on his blog he has a set of ready made actions you can buy.

There is 52 for PS and 48 for PSE but only for 8 and up.

I had to buy PSE 9 so i could use the actions!!!

Go check it out here

Really easy to download and use.

It takes two clicks to change the look of the photo completely and to take a few years off the face!!!  

Yay, thats gotta be good!!!

Anyway, we went to a friend of Josh's 21st.

The guys name is "Bacon". Thats him on the left.

He is wearing a bright pink sash with 21st on it and it lights up!! lol

Here is Emelia and Me!!

And this is Solo and Emelias reunion when she got back from Armidale!!
He misses her so much!!!

Its so adorable!

Mums just not quiet fun enough!!!

So there we are, all caught up now.

You might wonder why i do these.

I actually have my blog printed into books.

I have done 3 now and only have another 3 to go to get caught up.

I think in 20 years time, these books are going to be a great way to remember our lives!!

Blog2Print i do mine through!

MasterBLOGchief - Recipe 3

Sundays come around fast!!!!

Had no idea what i was going to make this week,

and ended up looking up on Donna Hay's website to find some recipes

and found 3 i wanted to play with!!!

I dont bake!

Infact i always burn bickies!

But today i made two different types and both are edible!!

I made some

chocolate chip and hazelnut cookies

 you will find the recipe here

and also

caramel cookies

 which you will find here here

I had to replace the jersey caramels with coconut caramels as there weren't any jersey caramels in town!! Can you believe that!! Searched everywhere!!!

Then tonight i made:

lamb cutlets with sugar snaps, green beans and parsley butter

You will find recipe here

I added some herb crusted baked potatoes.

(My own Recipe!)

And there were cheers all round!

I was a bit worried about the bean accompaniment, but together it all tasted brilliant!!

So yummy!!!

Bon Jovi!!!! The Circle Tour & ME!

I have been wanting to see these guys since i was a teenager!!

Always loved Bon Jovi

 Their hair may be shorter!
But the music still rocks

and i will be rocking along with them on

17th December!!! Yay!

I just bit the bullet and bought two tickets the other night.

Pretty aweful seats, but who goes for that anyway!!
The atmosphere will be awesome

with an audience full of middle aged rockers

just like me!!!

I bought 2 tickets, but as yet have no idea who is going with me!
The date doesn't work for Stu, Josh isn't interested,

and Emelia may or may no be available!
Depends if there is a rodeo on!
Yeh yeh, i know my place!
But who cares, i will be going anyway!!!
