that is sad Julie... hope you find just as much satisfaction with the other store.


I'm scarce here at the moment we have our production on full speed ahead and its end cant come soon enough...

Once this weekend is over its all over!

Hanging out till then....

other than that, if I have a moment I might pop in.....

You will just need to start teaching at home Julie - I am sure you have a huge following of girls - I know this great little online store when you can get some supplies

On a serious note though so many papercraft stores and other types of stores are struggling in Australia because with the high Australian $ everyone is buying overseas - but dont panic girls - we are riding out the high $ and will still be around for a while yet - like Ant says as small business owners in Aust all we can do at the moment is continue to offer great customer service and do what we do best and hope that it will be enough

Awesome to know Lee-Anne, not that I've been helping out this year. With any luck going back to work might give me some scrappy money again Life is very uneventful here, just a dreary day after a massive thunderstorm last night.

The other local is where i do my Saturday crops so yes to that question Mandy.

Today is going to be interesting here. Looks like things are slowly going to be falling into place.

you can tell its the crazy season, its so quiet here, guess everyone is so busy.

i have cleaned and decluttered the linen cupboard, girls room, loungeroom, office/toy room and bathrooms (yep even those cupboards get messy,LOL!!). so Rorys room today and then ours and kitchen last!!! (not all today)

tryign to do before school finishes and christmas, got to make room for the presents!!! the kids havent noticed the box of toys i have removed to donate!

Belinda I did the same thing over the last couple of months I have been de-toying because Master C has his birthday and Christmas within 6 weeks of eachother and they always get so much stuff they don't even notice its all gone!

Busy here at the workshop which is a relief as we had a slow November but all going good now! The heat is finally settling though which is horrible as we don't have Air Con in our workshop or office, only Master C's room has it!

Well must be off nearlly home time yay!! Then home to do the massive pile of washing that didn't get done earlier on in the week due to the rain

I'm hanging out for home time too - I'm VERY glad it's Friday, although I have to work tomorrow as well.

Hoping to finish cleaning and put the Christmas tree up over the weekend, and then DH gets home in just over a week

been without power all day , its rather warm so wish i could put my aircon, estimated time to come on is unknown, never a good sign.....

That's a shame Belinda. Just did my christmas card photo shoot although I don't think I got many good pics as Missy wasn't happy. Will have to have a good look at them later on. Going of to get ready for my work christmas do. We are going into the city for dinner. Just need to drop missy over at mil's as craig will still be out golfing when i need to leave.

still spring cleaning here, Rorys room complete yesterday. got rid of another box of baby stuff to a friend and have a box of clothes ready for my cousin. but in the meantime the loungeroom got a little messy with Hannah and Rory playing with everything we found!!!!

so have now cleaned that up just doing some cooking!

Well I put the Christmas tree up for the first time in 3 years last night! I forgot how big it was. AND found a train set in the bottom of the box that I don't remember buying...

I decided that the tree was a little bare so went out to buy some more ornaments after work - and Target had 30% off!

The air con in the living area won't turn on - it was working last night, so not sure what's happened there. Don't think it would be classed as an "after hours emergency" so will have to contact DHA on Monday. At least the one in the bedroom is ok!

Yay , production is now over and as of now got my scrappy life back!!!

Next thing to tackle is Paige's birthday on Tuesday - not even thought about it - not bought one thing! Not planned one thing!

yay for holidays Mandy!!

Ooh I've gotten up this morning, my mums been staying with us helping me out (she goes home tomorrow) and we've had breaky on the veranda in the sun. Might take a drive with her today. I'll see what she wants to do.

Other than this very messy house... its a 'nothing' day!!!!! LOVE 'nothing' days!!!!

I'll bet you're breathing a great sigh of relief, Miss Mandy......all over for another year. Hope it all went brilliantly as I'm sure it did. Enjoy time with your Mum.

We're having a little get-together here today so looking forward to that.
