I've been MIA!!

How boring has my blog been this week?? I've been really busy with work and stuff and the computers been giving me the sh*ts!! Anyhoo, I'm back.
I went to my first ever crop on Friday night. Six till midnight!! It was great fun, great conversation, great bunch of ladies and the were multi drawer prizes and I won some rhinestone brads:) I finished off the page I'd started using the EB BG pack, did a complete page just had to print some stuff when I got home and started a double LO. They're all below. So that was great. There was heaps of space. I'll definately go again and next time I'm going to use some of their stamps and things and I'll plan my pages a bit better.
I've entered the Embellished Idol comp which is very exciting. I can't wait to see what the next challenge is. Some of the entries are sensational.
Well, Jack's just woken and is going to be sleeping in our bed tonight because he's got a bit of a fever and a runny nose so I'd better get to bed. I'll just post my latest LO's in here.
Before I go I just wanted to send out a call to Dee. Are you around?? I havn't seen you in a few days. Hope your okay?!?! Drop me a line.
And I'm changing my song after watching Australian Idol tonight.

The new shelf

I'm still up waiting for the stupid cat to come home so I thought I'd post a photo of the shelf I put up today. Very exciting stuff in my blog hey!?! or not... trying adding photos to my blog tonight is giving me the sheets.

Those LO's

Post and run!!

I've got stocktake at work for the next couple of days and Owen's on holidays so it worked out well in that he can look after Jack for a couple of days but I won't get to spend any time with him which SUCKS!! I really feel like I need to lately too. I miss him being a work all the time and when he's home we're both so busy. I think I'm going to organise a date night soon.

The termite guy came today and did the treatment. He thinks our damage is going to be pretty minimal which is fantastic but we have to wait a month for the stuff to work before we find out for sure which is a tad frustrating. Owen and I have decided that if there's too much damage to the wall in our bedroom that we'll just put in french doors and built a little patio off the room. It would be nice. I have all these fantastic ideas of what I want to do with the back area but I just can't draw it.

I've been a bit down lately. Just not feeling myself and feeling a bit lost really. I think it's going around at the moment. Hopefully the few days at work with lots of running around will help a bit.

I'm really going to get my butt in gear next week and start a HUGE spring clean. I'm so sick of looking at all the excess clothes and things we have jammed in our cupboards. It's all going to go. I've been thinking about some different decorating ideas too. I put up our new shelf in the bathroom today but I put the support bracket on upside down so the screw holes are on the top but it's okay. I looks so much tidier now and everythings out of Jack's reach.

I watched Oprah today and it was so distressing. She had on children who's photos had impacted on society. She had the Ethiopian girl who's photo inspired Bob Geldoff to start Bandaid/Live aid. They had a story about adoption of unwanted Chinese baby girls and they showed a little baby girl who was left to die in an orphange in a room. Just neglected to death. It was so sad. I just held Jack and cried and smothered him with kisses. I try not to think about things like that because I get so upset sometimes. How can people be so cruel? I love my baby so much. I'm so grateful to be a mother. I wish I could adopt one of those babies too.

Anyhoo, better get to bed. Here's a couple of LO's I did today. The museli bar one Jack helped with. He stuck down most of the buttons. Pretty smart hey.

Grr they won't load. I'll try in a new topic.

IQ Test

Man that was hard!!

Look, I'm in the gallery

I submitted a LO to Basic Grey and it's been selected. I'm sooooo excited. Check it out...

Tagged! and some random thoughts

This first one has rules....List 5 wierd things about yourself or your pets. Tag 5 friends and list them. Then, those people need to write on their blogs about 5 wierd things, and state the rules, and tag 5 more people. Don't forget to let the people you tag know by posting a comment on their blog!(this took me FOREVER!! obviously i'm not as wierd as i thought....)

1. If I'm having trouble sleeping I type!! I just make up sentances and type away on my chest.

2. I used to drink pickled onion juice. I hardly ever eat pickled onions now but I had a "thing" for the juice and apparently so did my father(which is odd because my folks divorced when I was too young to remember and I never spent much time with my Dad). My Mum told me that if you drank too much of it it would dry up your blood.

3. Jack has a stick on star bath toy that has these bits that attatch to the end of each arm and then have characters that sit on them and they are all colour co-ordinated and of course when I put them away they MUST be on the right colour bit. Bloody Owen even puts them on incorrectly just to bug me.

4. I'm scared of the dark even though I'm a rational person and I'm a grown woman. If I'm out hanging clothes on the line at night or whatever I always have to walk very briskly back to the house just in case there's a vampire flying around or something.

5. OK now this one's gonna be WAY too much info for everyone out there but I'm grasping at straws here. At night before I go to bed the absolute last thing I have to do is go to the loo even if I've been to the loo, then brushed my teeth I still have to go to the loo again just in case there's even half a mil of wee :) ROFLMAO!! No one's ever gonna come back to my blog again after that confession are they.

And I tag...Pauline, Alanna, Dizzy, Kim and Angela

And now for the random thoughts.

I was lying with Jack tonight and just looking at his beautiful angelic face and it made me think about how much I really need to better myself. I just hate the thought of him growing up with un-necessary issues because of me. I really need to eat healthier, be more possitive and organised and patient and really focus on being exactly how I want my child to be.

I can already see the boy he's going to be. He's so funny and he seems soooo much like my brother. He's going to be the kind of kid that makes a hang-glider out of a garbage bag and jumps off the roof or gets a fish spike stuck in his finger just like Kevin. He's runs so fast for such a little fella and he gets sooooo excited about things. It's precious.

My cup runneth over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a LO

and I'm off to bed.

Post & run

Up & Down

Well, I've had an up & down week...

UP...we got our tax refunds, YAAAYYY!!! It's always nice to get a bit of money. I get extra tax taken out of my pay every week just so I can get that extra little thrill at refund time.

DOWN...discovered a termite nest behind Owen's sock box in our bedroom. "Insert very sad smiley here"

UP...pest man came and couldn't find trail so he said there's probably a hole in our termi-mesh and all costs will be covered.

DOWN...discovered second nest, exterior, so now all costs are on us. "Insert another very sad smiley here"

So, luckily we live in a cosy (shoe box of a) house as to treat the termites they have to dig a trench around the perimeter (sp?) for the chemical to go in but we're still going to be up for $1500 + the repair costs for damage already done. So I've been a big sooky la-la cry baby today. Anyhoo, what does not kill us makes us stronger. I keep telling Owen, at least we have our health

Oh no, I've just heard the news about Steve Irwin being killed. How terrible for his wife and kids and how horrible that she's uncontactable. He was a great ambassador for Australia and our wildlife. What a tragedy.

Here is the LO I did yesterday using the stuff that Cat got me for the swap. I'm so pleased with the way it turned out. We even did a special photo shoot to get a recent family photo. This was the best of them. In all the other ones Owen and I have weird faces from trying to get Jack to look and smile.



And for Amanda's challenge. Some of my favourite things in my house. My pot rack and my bedside table lamp with jewellery. Sorry that's all I could come up with. I used to have a nicely decorated home but then Jack started walking and climbing and now everything's packed away.

1. Which famous person would you most like to learn that you are descended from?

Adolf Hitler

Right, that's it I'm going to bed...well I've got to type a reply on Dee's blog and just make sure nothings happened at EB in the last 15mins and then I'm going to bed.

I'm nearly falling asleep at my desk but...

I just can't go to bed without updating my blog.
Last night I went to a jewellery party at a work mates place and it was such a nice night. She'd made it a coctail party theme and everyone got dressed up all pretty like. Since I havn't really had that much to drink since I was pregnant with Jack I was a bit worried at how I'd handle alcohol and apparently I have a reputation at work as a bit of a flasher when I've had too many but I did really well. I had 5 or 6 coctails PLUS 2 shots and I just have to say the fruit tingles coctail is delish. The only bad bit of the night was that I bit down on a jelly snake and half my tooth fell out (that may be an exageration but I'm still going to have to go to the dentist).
Today I went to another jewellery party at my friends mum's place and the stock was phenomenal. The jewellery last night wasn't really my style but this stuff from Gekho is great and really well prices. Here's the website if you want to check it out, http://www.gekho.com.au/ModCoreFrontEnd/index.asp?pageid=108. I even booked a party for October. I only bought a handbag which was only $19 but I booked the party for just after my birthday so I might have some money to spend then. Here's the bag I bought. Jack fell over on the concrete and goonked his head though. Here's a photo of his googy. Poor bubba.
And here's a couple of LO's I did today. The second one is a scaplift of one of the talented Amanda's LO's.
Nighty night.:)

Off to bed!!

Just posting another digi LO before bed.

It's using the Lime Tea kit by Nancie Rowe Janitz.

Scraplift!!

Here's a digital page from me using Shabby Princess Urban Kiwi kit, font is hurricane. It's a scraplift of one of Rach's LO's.

A new look!!

I've been digitally busy and have come up with a new look for my blog which I'm really pleased with and also a digi LO today while Jack was napping using Isabelle Cyr aka zazou's Juicy Strawberry kit with a bit of texture added

And another one...

It's so
nice to do girly flowery LO's

Here it is...

The page I was talking about

And...

I have a counter for those of you who don't scroll down far enough to see it. It's so cool. Now I can see how many people are just in sneaking a peak. Come on folks, don't be shy, post a comment.

Okay

I feel better now. I've had a big cry, played with Jack, made some pancakes, put Jack down for his nap & I'm scrappin'

Don't you just hate it when...

Your cruising along having a nice old day and then something happens that gets you so upset when really in the grand scheme of things it's so insignificant but you just can't let it go. I'm having one of those days.

My latest page

It dosn't show up very well but the 'f' is actually a wooden letter, anyhoo, looks better IRL methinks...

I love these photos of Jack. I can't beleive that he's changed so much but really changed so little. That little tiny face that I saw all wrapped in blanket when he was born is exactly the face I see today, especially when he drops his lip. I love my boy.

A quick digi page

Here's a quick page I did tonight.

I scrapped!!

I actually finished up a page I started days ago. I couldn't be bothered getting the sewing machine out quite frankly but then I decided to do another LO with stitching to make it worth my while. Not my best work but there you go. The third LO is a digi colour challenge for pickleberrypop website.
I've got the stinky flu at the moment and have had the worst afternoon today. Jack was being an absolute terror. Climbing on the toy box and into everything. It's lucky he's so cute.
Anyhoo, trying to get to bed early tonight

I've been tagged!!

1. What is your nickname?

• Jo, Jodes, Princess(from my Mum)

2. If you were born the opposite sex what would your name be?

• I dunno, maybe Jody!?!

3. What star sign are you?

• Libra

4. Do you scrapbook?

• Yes, but like Dani you can't tell lately. My well of creativy is well and truly dry.

Who would you most like to meet? (living or dead)

• All the EB girls.

6. What colour best describes you and why?

• Red, strong emotional colour I think.

7. What is your personal motto?

• If you havn't got anything nice to say about anybody then come sit by me (steel magnolia's qoute) Just joking, probably to each their own.

8. If you had all the money in the world what would you buy?

• Ooooh too many things to mention really. My own island. Seriously, if I did have ALL the money in the world I would try to help feed, clothe and educate the needy. And for me and my family, my dream house filled with beautiful things and family and laughter, a Chrysler PT Cruiser for me and I'd probably get it painted pretty pink or aqua, one of those ugly Chrysler's with the big grill for Owen and for Jack whatever his little heart desires.

Now I tag Amanda, Deanne and Pauline + anyone else that mosey's on by!!

Oooh and here's a photo of Jack just cause he's so cute.

The furry girls

Here they are. The photos wouldn't load yesterday.

My Weekend...

I've had quite a nice weekend. On Saturday, Jack and I went out. We went to the library and got some magazines and books then across the road to Scrappy Days and picked up some goodies. I got a new range of Crate Paper which I can't wait to use. Then we headed off to the other scrap shop in town but Jack fell asleep in the car on the way over. Luckily they have a lounge so I plonked him down and had a fantastic time browsing through everything. I bought some papers and ribbons and then sat and flicked through some magazines while I waited for Jack to wake up.
Then we headed off to grab some lunch and do some shopping and then back home to unpack the groceries. Picked up Owen from work, got Jack bathed and got our stuff together then headed off to S & K's to babysit. When we got there the kids were already asleep so we watched a bit of croc dundee (woowee) and then the Iron Chef!!! on the projector. I love Iron Chef, those guys are so clever to make things up just on a whim like that. So anyhoo, now Owen of course wants a projector. Our TV's over 12 years old and everyone's green for the first 10 minutes when you turn it on.
Today Mum, Grandma, Jack and I went to the multi-cultural fair at the Uni. It was great to have a look around but I was a little disappointed. I thought they would have had more cultural things to see. I found a great bracelet that Grandma's going to put away for my birthday and a pendant for Mum to give me. There were a lot of different food stalls but we just all got yum cha. This afternoon after Owen got home we went and collected for the Leukemia Foundation just in our street then we decided to take the dogs for a walk. I'll go grab the camera and take a photo of the dogs so you can see what I'm talking about. Poppy (the black and white dog) was fine. She's normally all over the place but she was really well behaved today and just walked beside the pram. Bella on the other hand. Well, she's a fatty and she suffers from arthritis so we hadn't even gotten a block from our place and she needed a rest. We live a block away from a shopping centre which we'd decided to walk around today so Owen went and found a trolley and stuck the bloody dog in it. We would have looked so strange.
Anyhoo, that's my weekend in a nutshell. Pretty boring stuff hey.

My Bitch for Tonight...

I was happily plateing up dinner tonight when the phone rang. O asked if I wanted him to get but I said 'no'. Stupid mistake. Conversation went like this.

Me- "Hello" nice bright happy voice.
Other person- "Nice invitation you did for Jack's birthday. I would have loved to get one and I would have even come. Thanks for nothing"
....................tone.....................

Now this other person I've spoken to maybe four times in the last 3 years and I know she's family but come on. I havn't received invites to her kids birthdays and Jack's birthday was in April and we never heard from her.. Grrrrr, I cried all through dinner.

Hmmm something smells YUMMY!!

Dont' you just hate it when your sitting at home and your peckish and there's nothing really in your house that takes your fancy and you can smell someone else's delicious food. I think someone must have a stew on in the neighbourhood. It smells devine. Might have to see what I can whip up for dinner tonight.

Anyhoo, here's a couple of LO's I've done.

Song change!!

Well, I've decided on a change of video clip even though I just love Evanescence. I've chosen RHCP's Dani California. A fantastic song and such a hilarious video clip. This is one of Jack's favourite dancing songs at the moment.

Out and about!!

I'm sure Jack will be thinking that the Botanical Gardens are our back yard. We've been there so often lately. We went on Sunday, Owen included, which was just fantastic. It's so nice to do things as a family like that. Then on Monday we were there again with our baby group and then today I was meant to meet up with Kerryn and the kids but she thought we were going to the other gardens in town. I eventually tracked her down but by then the kids were all cranky and ready for naps. Jack just loves going there. The play equipment is just his size and there are birds everywhere.
Anyhoo, here's some pics.
Aren't my boys gorgeous?? And how cool is the giant xylaphone(sp?)

Been Scrappin'

Just a quick post to show off some LO's. Owen's off this weekend so Jack has been mostly occupied today with Daddy so I've had some time to scrap. Since I have no mojo of my own however I've been scraplifting today and I'm really happy with what I've done. I've got that many photos to scrap and I just can't think of any original ideas. Anyhoo... here they are.

The Search for the Ear Tree

Last night Grandma asked me if I could find out where the ear tree was at the botanical gardens as she and Grandad are going to a wedding there in a couple of weeks. I thought I'd just find it so off we set, down one of the paths. Now I know the gardens are big but I thought that an ear tree would be something that you'd know if you saw it. We found the ampitheatre with the giant xylaphone(sp?), we found a peacock, we found the ducks and the turtles, we found all the animal enclosures, we found some really cool trees, we found all the striletziers(sp?) so then we decided to ask and you know where the ear tree is? Of course it's a little bit further along than the furtherest place we got to from where the info centre is, so, back we went. The ear tree gets it's name from it's seed pods(there weren't any) so there's no way I would have found it. DOH!! We had a great walk though and saw some fantastic plants.
Jack absolutely loves birds and was cooing with delight when we saw the lorikeets bathing under the fountain. We ran into JG and had lunch with him and then checked out the rest of the gardens. It was a great day and I think I probably did about 15000 steps today so that was a bonus. Here's a couple of pictures. The ear tree, if anyone's interested, is the one with Jack's pram parked in front of it so you get an idea of it's size. It's huge and it was only planted in 1978.
Anyhoo, I'm sure I've bored everyone to tears by now so I'll just post my pics and get out of here.

Try again with more photos

I love Sunday's!!!

I have had a really great day today. I think I'm just naturally more relaxed on a Sunday. This morning after I dropped Owen to work, Jack and I headed off to the markets to buy some veges which I think I'm definately going to do every Sunday. There's the most adorable little old man there who sell the best zuchinni's and button squash so cheap. It's so nice to look around at all the different things. There are two stalls there that sell the best hand made stuffed animals. They're adorable and the orchids there are fantastic. When I have some spare cash I'm going to get one for my entry way table.
After the markets Jack and I came home and I put some pumpkin on to make some pumpkin soup to freeze and then we played for a while. Then Jack had a nap and I had a coffee and some internet time and then when he woke up he just layed on my lap for a while for a nice cuddle then we did some more cooking and stuff.
Tonight we went to Grandma & Grandad's for Grandad's 83rd Birthday. I love going there for dinner. It's so noisy and busy and there's so much conversation. Jack had a great time running around with Patrick and the bigger kids.
Anyway I've really got to get to bed but before I go I'll inundate everyone with some photos of the displays I was yabbering about the other day although I'm a bit disappointed with the photos as the displays look much more sparkly in real life.

I've got a new look!!

I was a bit bamboozled but I finally worked it out and so now I've got a new look!! WOOHOO!!!

Owen Hates My Singing!!!!

I was just thinking about what I should post about in here and I'm listening to Pussycat Dolls, Don't Cha on the headphones and Owen's just told me he's going to have to go and watch TV or something to get away from my singing!!!! How bloody rude is he!!! That's what he gets for not giving me speakers with my new computer. I can't hear how bad my singing is. LOL!!! How mean is he.

Ok, on the work front I had a fantastic day today. I re-did the top shelves in the manchester dept and they look great. Very romantic and girly. I'm really pleased with the display. I'll try to remember to take my camera to work on Friday and take some photos.

On the Jack front, he's teething and not sleeping very well therefore none of us are sleeping very well and then last night he was sick in our bed. Poor little fella. Hopefully we'll have a better night tonight but so far it dosn't look too promising.

Owen's off for the next two days which is great. Tomorrow I'm going to Kerryn's for lunch with Jenny & Kylie and the babies and then on Thursday I'm going to try to talk Owen into going shopping and having lunch at Go Sushi which has just opened. That's how exciting my life is that the most exciting thing that's happened lately is that a new sushi shops opened.

Loving my job!!

I am just loving my job at the moment. I've had a bit of a role change recently and I'm enjoying it sooooo much. Instead of doing all the boring office bizzo I'm now looking after the manchester department and merchandising the bedding area. I have such big plans. I downloaded the new playgro catalogue last night and had a trawl through to see what new deisgns they have. I think I'm really going to be able to increase our sales. There is just so much beautiful linen around lately. I LOVE Kas and Hiccups and Aura. They would have to be my favs and I love making beds!! I've even been making mine ar home lately I'm that inspired. Plus I get to have a little break from Jack and catch up on all the workplace gossip.

I love the internet

There is just so much to see and so much inspiration and so many clever, artistic, talented people out there. It's like a trip to an art gallery to see some of the things people post on the internet.

I am in awe.

Our day out

Owen had an RDO today so we went out shopping. We had a great day and I outdid myself with some fabulous parrallel parking to boot. We hardly bought anything but it's always nice to get out and spend some time together.

Mexican Night!!

We had all our baby group friends over for a Mexican dinner last night and it went really well. All the babies had fun playing together and the dinner was really yummy(a bit spicy though). It was great to get all the hubby's together for a bit of a mingle since we girls see so much of each other and the guy's only see each other at birthday parties. Hopefully we'll be making it a regular thing.

Jack learnt to feed himself with a spoon the other night which Owen and I thought was really exciting. He's also learnt some not so exciting things as well such as how to pull over the bedside lamps and how to open my coin section of my wallet. Now if only I could teach him to iron...

Owen has finally finished the carport with the help of a mate and I think it might have inspired him to do some more around the place. He tidied up the front entrance and finally got the filler for my big pot so we now have a pretty little pond at our front door for me to display the gorgeous artificial water lilly I bought the other week.

A Day at the Beach

We had the nicest day at the beach onMonday. Owen managed to get the day off so we packed up the jetski and headed down to meet up with everyone. It was a beautiful day and the water was great, just a little bit cool. I think Jack probably ate half the beach but he had a wondeful time and really enjoyed the water. He loved riding on his little jetski and daddy loved riding on his big jetski. All of the babies seemed to have a great day. Jack conked out in the car before we even got 200metres from the beach which was very cute.

Shop till you drop baby!!

Poor Jack!! I met Erica out this morning for a bit of gift shopping and a coffee and then Jack and I went to Shopping Fair. I'm such a mean mummy making him look at all the boring craftly things when all he wants to do is run around. He did get to have blueberry muffin for lunch though so it's not all bad. And I got some great bargains at Spotlight today, 20 acrylic paints for $10 and a mystery Christmas bag for $5. The Christmas bags got some great stuff in it but it's going to take me hours to untangle it all.

.......World's Worst Blogger Checking In!!

I think I'm about the worst blogger ever!!! It's not that I forget to come in, I just never get around to it. It's 7 past midnight so I've got to get to bed but I promise I'll be better in future.

It's a lovely day today

What a fabulous day it is today. I love it when there's rain around. It's a beautiful cool day today with plenty of breeze and it's just nicely overcast. I hope it rains.
Yesterday we went to Oliver's 1st Birthday party and I had such a nice afternoon. Owen and I spent the afternoon chasing Jack around everywhere but it was so nice to be able to go to an event as a family. I love my guys so much. They make me very proud!!
