Moove on over

Hi all I have moved to Word press here
Please come and see me there!

Okaay Blogger is being a pain

and I cant reply in my comments!! grrr


Debbie..the calendar template I used wasnt a template as such it was a page out of a free calendar but you can also download calendar templates from Maya rd ..hope that helps? And good idea Tracy doing the whole process every 5 years! Annie it would be too expensive to freight and as its not a flash one..youd be wasting money...go buy one on TM there will be one in your area.


Yes Karen its a mosaic cafe called L'Arte...fantastic works of art there for sure! Will be doing a LO with that pic.


Okay Im grumpy tonight coz DS has broken my most favourite cup of all time(I am still overdramatising this)...it was an accident but Im still grumpy (not at him) but cos it was one of a kind type of Mug and I cant even show you asTana has made off with part of my camera charger and goodness knows where that is! lol! Hopefully its not chewed up.... Yep Tana is still here and going home tomorrow. He has been swimming in the river with Bella, Duncan (who doesnt swim very well) and Jennifer and loving it. Wish I took my camera down to watch them play ..Duncan got dunked by Tana twice (no wonder he doesnt like swimming) but little Tana is a natural.


Our 8 year old cat is missing 2 days now so not holding out much hope for her...she is our fat cat and is ruled by her stomach so its not looking good that shes missed that many feeds. Hmmmm


We often call her Poopy Poppy cos she has an 'attitude'....but she has her little quirks that we will miss Im sure. Still got my fingers crossed that she turns up tomorrow. We have also had a calf die too not sure how it happened but she has possibly been chased by a dog (as she was tangled up in wire and at the neigbours (which is non farming and would be the last place a calf would go) Going to have a little wordy with the neighbour tomorrow...Might not be his dog but I have seen him chase a calf before (The dog is a pig dog). Basically we said last time if we saw him do it again hed get a bullet...but we havent seen him do it so gotta give him the benefit of doubt.





Anyway, something big is brewing over at SBO where Andrea is about to announce about the DT for this year. Its so cool that Lara, Donna, Yolande and Rach will be staying on...their work is very inspiring for us all aye? So just two spots up for grabs!





This week has been crazy and I havent done a single LO!!! Sheesh! Have done a little tag for Jennifers bag...went to put it on her bag and found another one Id done late December and forgotten Id done...I must be getting alzheimers!!!!!!! But I have got a few pages sorted to go to a crop over at Bookem tommorrow with Yolande, Michelle TW and Sandra et al..its going to be fun, fun, fun!!! I will need it as Im teaching a new highschool kid to milk in the afternoons..hes quite good but just needs a little direction for a milking or two.
Oh yeah I have rung Telecom and told them where to stick their broadband go large (still havent got it after 3 months of waiting)and have signed up for a free installation of Satellite Broadband and 3 months free fees...Yahoo just waiting to hear when they are coming around to instal...






Finally this is Rhys off to Highschool looking smart in his uniform...I wasnt allowed to take photos at school so i have to be content with a few I took beforehand...sad, sad, sad!
Hes loving it so far. Hes had tests to sort them into classes (streamed for English, Maths and Science) and hes got 2 new friends. We had a hassle with the bus but he coped well.
Jennifer was rapt to find that the boy she likes is sitting next to her at school! LOL! and oh her teacher is cool too she says...too funny!
Ciao!

Bad Bad Blogger!

Yep I have been busy!

Hubby and kids had an awesome trip up to Northland. Their favourite thing was the Hole in the Rock boat trip at Paihia in the Excitor boat (the fast one)

They also loved beach hopping but drove 13kms into Taupo Bay ..get there and there is this siign saying its the most safest beach in Northland..get out of the car and all they hear is SHARK! lol so they got back into the car and drove out 13km to the main rd and went to the next bay instead..too funny! I had heaps of hassles on the farm while they were away but eventually got them sorted...grrr.

This week we are puppy sitting Tana who has been missing his Mum and been crying at night time and causing us all a lack of sleep. Hes a gorgeous pup though and so cuddly but boy am I looking forward to Andrea coming home! lol

Anyway last weekend I headed off for a girls weekend in Taupo with some girlfriends and despite one Gfs broken foot in a cast, we had a ball! We even got her a wheelchair (after a quick trip to the hospital to have her cast of a week split-too tight) and had endless amount of laughs (at her expense) with it. Drank too much and ate to much but hey its only once or twice a year with these girls so gotta make the most of it!

Yay its back to school tomorrow and Rhys will be off to High school..wow where has the time gone huh? Jennifer is going into year 6 (std 4). Ive signed her up for jazz and Hip hop again. Rhys has decided to do guitar this year so I will be selling our piano off (takes up too much room).

Well gotta go as we are off to town to have a look at outdoor furniture.

2 Dare Layouts

Using circles! Did these yesterday morning after my DH and kids took off for a weeks holiday in Northland while I have peace and quiet and scrapbook..and oh milk the cows!
I had to use Andreas camera though coz I havent scanned a Lo for a couple of years...so much easier to take a photo..only camera is with kids and DH. Nevermind Andrea came to the rescue.
last night she took me out to the Weber Bros Circus as she got free tickets. It was really good but up in Auckland DH and kids were watching Varekai Cirque du Soleil...which is the REAL deal!
Right had better go scrap some more!
