:{ Im sick!!!

CAn you see my poor nose???
Its so sore..... i mean... really really sore!!!!
No, really sore!!!
Ive taken the skin off in parts from blowing and wiping!!!

I even have to blow my nose through the night... this never happens to me as i sleep like a log....
Poor Stu is kept awake all night....
ANd me blowing. honking and coughing all night is such a turn on the sleep next too... yeh right!!

Ive been taking it fairly easy though..... no big jobs on so far this week.
Im off to Narrabri tomorrow though to see my sick Uncle..... So if its a windy day, it wont do much good for the cold.....

Anyway, I havnt posted any layouts for a little while as i have been working on an OTP Mini Album for an online class at Scrap with V.
Keep your eye out for it...
Its called "Theres no place like home" Using the Kaisercraft House album adn the totally gawgus Fancy Pants sweet spring papers.

And here is a layout also featuring those papers and some left overs from the kit.....
Cathcha later...

I bit the Bullet

Ive tried and i cant do it!!
After being on Jenny Craig for three years!! Losing 30 kilos and then going off it and putting 20 back on in only MONTHS!!! Its obvious I cant do this weight management thing... And Jenny Craig does nothing to teach you how to maintain it... they just want your money every week!! I went of Jeeny Craig as i started putting weight on, while on it!!!! I personally didnt think my kilojule intake was right!!
So, today I joined Weight Watchers on line... Im not into the weekly meeting thing, but i might be able to do this!!!
So wish me luck!!!!

Hubby was out driving around taking photos today..... Some gorgeous farming scenery.. Lovely!!
Till next update... I will let you know how i go after a week!!

A big couple of Days

Last night we went to Narrabri to see Umbilical Brothers...... Hilarious!!!!
We have "Speadmouse" on DVD, but seeing live LIVE was awesome!!! WHat funny funny guys!!

I did this really cute delivery yesterday for a new baby boy!!! Look at that Lamb, isnt it cute!!
Dont you think for $55 this is HUGE value for money... and will last for a couple of weeks... unlike flowers!!!
Emelia had the best day today!!!
It was her first competition!!!
It was a Jumping Competition Day. She was in F Grade with another adorbale little girl from Narrabri... (She is 5!!) But F grade is for all newbies!!!
Cimmi was wonderful. Even though the jumps werent terribly high, she didnt bowk at any of them.. Good Girl Cimmi!!! And best of all, Emelia didnt fall off!!!
She came out with 2 firsts and a second... One was an equal first place.

In action
With all her ribbons
Typical Emelia
Matt rode into town to see Emelia ride... but missed her events unfortunately!!!


Then, ontop of a huge day at the showground... I also had a Christmas in July function to do today.... 20 balloon bouquets with centrepeice designs... Very cute!!!

So that was my big day!!

A Couple of Horsey Days

They have had a show jumping school the last two days. Emelia took Cimmi down and had a lovely time.
Only very small jumps... shes in F troop (The lowest of the rider classes....) But shes only been going for about a month now... so you really cant expect anything else...

Here she is......




Check out the kangaroos in the paddock!!! Heaps of them!!!
Now the weight loss thingy!!!
Ive given up the scales.. this week anyway!! But my clothes are getting losser now.. And i am walking up porky most nights! They are all steps in the right direction!!
