Devistating.

The bushfires in Victoria have been deeply devistating. I had lots of 'news' to post. But feel so inappropriate and trival.

My heart goes out to the families who have lost lives and homes. I cannot imagine what you are going through. I did read or hear somewhere that there was a fire at Naree Warren, that is where Fleur and her family live. I have left her a message praying they are ok and safe.

There have been amazing stories of courage and survival. I hope to hear more.

February scrapjacked its up!!!!

Hey there blogging world! the new feb jack is up today!! And the fabulous jackee is Kate Mason, And while this style is sooo not in my cofort zone I soooo love scrapping it! I chose to do an old photo of my boys. It is a photo of Jarred and Cohen on the day that Cohen was born. Such a very very proud moment for Jars and us. Cohen was a very sick baby when he was born, They had a plane on standby ready to fly him to adelaide - He had no oxygen in his blood which made him quite ill. I can't remember off the top of my head the name of the condition but He was not allowed out of the humi crib at all. They were pumping his little body full of oxygen. So the nurses thought he needed a little hug and gave jarred the privilage of the first cuddle. Not mummy, not daddy, but his big brother. As you can see in the photo jarred was sooooo proud!.

Im leaving it short and sweet, we are all very sick in this house today. Cohen had a viral infection on sunday and monday, passed it to michael who passed it onto me. But on top of the viral infection i have inflamed tonsils which are very very sore and im feeling so very very sorry for myself. I have slept for two days straight and have no energy. I hope when i wake up tomorrow im on top of the world.

thanks for dropping by and don't forget to go play along with the scrap jackers!!!

Has it really been that long....???

Wow it has been 12 days since i blogged last. Whoppsie!! I have just been soooo busy and haven't been on the net at all!! Well that's probably a lie. I think i done a quickly blog hop twice in the last 2 weeks. We have been up to loads of mischief ;) So much in fact that i will dot blog

mmmm what have we been doing....

oh For the long weekend we went to Adelaide and stayed with some friends of ours. They have a town house down the road from the Zoo and It was the bestest weekend we have had in a long time. They are fellow Riverlanders too, but were down their for state softball (which got cancelled - just their team) Which was unfortunate but worked out great. Mel and I found the most awesome little boutique on Melbourne street that had 50 - 75 % off the entire store!!! We got some great stuff there. My best buy was a pair of heels handmade by an Adelaide designer that i instantly fell in love with and are unusually very very comfortable! They deserve a photo blog all on their own. I just love them. Sat night my mum baby sat our and their kids - did i mention that our kids get on soooo great and are the best of friends?? We went out for tea on Melb street and then headed into Unley to a club called Boho. Now if you haven't been to boho I suggest you do just to check out the decor. Awesome!! they have decked the entire place out old school theatre go circus and it just looks great. Complete with a naked trapeze artist on a hoop which is actually a converted chandelier. Mels brother Ace works there and was feeding us cocktails allllll night. Mmmmmm they were great - thanks Ace!! Then we headed to the Casino - not out cup of tea at all. But was not what we expected. We spent 3 hours at the blackjack table - had a ball and came out even steven!!! and walked home. Which was to our benefit as we sobered up just in time. Took the kids to glenelge beach on Sunday and had a great day. Had tea at hogs breath cafe - uggh at way tooo much but how can you not the food is always awesome there. and Monday bummed around the townhouse and went to harbour town for a wee bit more shopping.

Hmmm dot point - YEAH RIGHT!!!

if you got this far well done you deserve a medal!

Jarred returned to school Tuesday and was really excited to go. He loves his teacher which is great and he has slipped right back into school mode! LOL

Its been unbelievable hot here like 48 - 49 here at Renmark North even thought the news is saying only a balmy 42 - Hell no, not here it ain't!

We have been swimming heaps down at the houseboat - which has been a real blessing we are so lucky to have it so close to our house. Although the river is like bath water at the moment. But still keeping us cool.

I have been working on my project 52 and finally took photos of the cover and week 1 &2.

Ta Dah!!

So how hot has it been in your neck of the woods?.............

Thanks for dropping by I hope your keeping cool and don't forget that Aussie scrapjacked will be up again on the 5th!!! Hope to see you there.... :)

Scrapjacked!!!..........

This months scrapjacked is up ........ and the jackee for the start of a wonderful year is Sarah Gladmann!!! She is an awesome scrapbooker and i have been lurking on her blog lately. ( :P )

Here is my version of her layout:

I would add a picture of her layout - but i couldn't figure out how to do it!! Ha Ha Ha. So tech savvy aren't I .

You will just have to visit scrapjacked and take a peeky yourself. Oh and while your there check out all the other DT girls layouts - they ROCK!!! Oh and while your still there checking out the talent - JOIN IN!!!

I have seriously been thinking about doing the project 365..... but i don't think i could commit to a photo everyday. Life is busy, I think i will try and do project 52 instead. that seems more commttable to me. Is that even a word?? I have 2 photos for week 1 already. I just have to get my butt in gear and stick them in the art journal i bought. I think i will have to make a Janelle wind journal cover for it.......I'm very envious of the girls out there that can commit to 365 days of photo taking, scrapbooking, and journalling...... If i had no problem scrapbooking EVERYDAY i would defiantly do it for myself.

I hope you all enjoyed the festive season. Its all over for another year..... I have been thinking about this easter chrismas thing... I seriously think that they got it the wrong way around and I think that christmas should be a 4 day celebration thing, with no pressure like easter. Yep I think thats a grand idea. 4 days for christmas. Imagine that - you could see everyone no rushing around, relaxing for 4 whole days..... that would be my ideal chrismas. Oh and a little snow thrown in for good measure. And just because i think it looks pretty :) Thats one of my goals this year. No resolutions for me just goals. A family holiday to the snow. All my goals bar 1 were met last year. A family holiday. Every year we aim to do it, and time just slips away.

Thanks for droping by. :)
