Miserable Day

What a freezing cold day it was today... Someone said 3 degrees up the street today and i can believe it - it was so cold!!!!

I had a whole line full of washing with all this rain coming down!!! Typical!!


Here is a scraparooney layout... I love this Pink Paisley stuff!!!
This is a sketch from a layout i fiound at the Pink Pasley site. Go there and check it out, theres some lovely stuff!!!
This one is "Western Woman"

I am currently working on another scraparooney layout at the moment... So easy to use these colours....
Shame all the packs are sold... you will have to get in early next month!!!

One of those days

Do you have those days where everything pisses you off???
I got woken up this morning by my son, who i continually tell to shut the shed door when he leaves on his motorke of a morning. (We have lots of breakins from sheds in our area). He left it open again, so i had to go out to shut the shed to find my DD didnt take out the recycle bin...
Cleaning day which always makes me cranky as its a contant reminder of how Small this house is and how much we dont fit in it anymore...
Trying to get the vaccume of out the office cupboard is always a struggle as it office is full to the brim and with end of financial year there are boxes and folders everywhere to trip over!!!!

Then the whole weight loss delima. Last year i had to go to the gym as the night walks just werent gonna happen. "Dont pay membership - we'll get our own stuff", hasnt happened!!!
So now i dont go to the gym, dont walk and dont have my own equipment and am now friggin 20 kilos over what i originally lost!!!! I am so cranky about it!!!

I just get so angry you know!!! You kinda just ignore it, ignore it, ignore it and then you have those days when it all comes flooding back and it makes me bloody cranky!!!

I know at the end of the day the wieght loss thing is up to me, im the only one that can do it. Thats probably the most frustrating thing!!!!

So thats my gripe for the day. I know, I usually keep my blog upbeat and happy, but i just cant even pretend it today.... Im just really really over it you know!!!

Here is a layout i did using the scraparooney kit this month. I took the basic sketch from one of Brendas layouts and kept it really simple. I did have flowers and 3D effects on it, but ended up juwst going back to simple. Its a simple kinda photo.....


So thats me...

Pony Club Rally Day

Off we went to the Pony Club Rally Day. Emelia was up really early and went and checked the horses... as Sweeny (Mat's Horse) had a sleep over last night..
Here they are lined up and ready to get into their troop groups.

Emelia was placed in with young kids, like 7 - 10 years young as she is only learning, but she really enjoyed it. Here she is doing dressage which she has decided she likes doing!!This is the "Rider in Action" You have to open a gate, walk through and close again, jump over some drums and then roll a tire up and back...
And here is Mat in action..... He is doing.. whats it called.... ummm... the raquet and throwing that they all do..... I cant think of it, but thats what he is doing!! LOL
We are all so tired tonight, my face and lips are burnt... ready for a shower and bed!! Gotta wash my hair thats for sure...its so dusty!!!

Oh, Off to Pony CLub tomorrow.... I think its been like maybe 25 years since i have been to a pony club thing!! Scary!!

Kids!!

Theres one particular kid in Year 12 this year, who has always been the jokster....
This bike belongs to one of the Year 12 kids and its been parked around the corner of our place for about 4 days now, as the kids have been away in Newcastle at the Uni, so he is staying in town with mates.
Everytime i have driven past i keep thinking to myself.. "We should hide his bike" but being the responsible "Parent", i didnt think i should..
Anyway the "Jokester" came around today and driving past this kids bike thought they should play a joke oh him...
This is the result..... All very innoscent...

Also, my excitment this week is my name in print..... Here is the article i sent into Scrapbook Memories.... but unfortunately, they are now forgiven for not including my layout with it..
Here is a layout i did doing a Kim Archer Class. Its taken a week to do this!!!
It opens to reveal more detail...

Cute hey???
So theres my day... very boring now with no daily photo.... :(

Nuthin

Not much going on.
Its the end of financial year, so i have been stocktaking.... and getting all the books up to date for the boss. Hes hard on me.... LOL (Its hubby)

So, do you want to know whats going on with Jamie?
Hes not in the cave anymore.... he handed himself in to the English for the reward which went to support his clan after the war.
He went to jail....... then moved to a farm where he serves his sentence looking after horses. He knocked up the young virgin daughter and had a son.
Hung around until they all thought the son was looking too much like the stable boy and then using connections went back to his home......

many years on..... Claire is back in the highlands and Jamie is sorting out his wives......

Really, i think this Jamie although very passionate and loyal really is a bit of a fool for putting himseelf in so many life threatening situations. He really puts too much pressure on himself... but it is ficitonal Jodi.....

DOnt have any photos for you either.....
