Famous last words

that I said in Mondays post about no calves...there was one...... she was hiding in the long grass for the day and we found her at 4pm. Hubby had to chase her 5 paddocks as she sprinted off and caught her just as she was about to leap into the Orini canal! So she was aptly named by Jennifer -Pocket rocket! Weve had a few since then and have had some big days on the farm sorting cows (took a whole day), tagging heifers (just got tags as was mix up) ,cleaning my calf rearing equipment and the bosses visit. No time for scrapping here! I am going to try and do a CJ this weekend though and send it off before the date so I will be early for once! Poor Rach has been getting all of my CJs late so far! Which is not like me at all...I am usually an early person. Sorry Rach!
Started snoozing off on the sofa last night at 8pm so its starting..my snoring on the sofa! lol! Sometimes I beat the kids to bed during calving and hubby and I have to plan who is going to bed early and who is staying up till the kids go to bed...or we are all into bed by 8.30pm!
Basic Grey has accepted my altered flower. Its on page 3 I think! Not a good photo because of the background.
Alright...since Andrea and I are off to see Donny O next week...we are planning on visiting some scrapbooking shops up in Auckland yahoo! So...which is the best ones girls? How do we get there?

OMG Donny Osmond! I was on a school trip yesterday with Cait and one of the Mum's got a phonecall from Donny Osmond (true!) to say she's won a prize - front row seats, backstage pass, hotel etc I laughed - the kids didn't even know who he was but the Mums screamed!

Hope you really enjoy the 'Donny' experience Delys. Sounds like this could turn into a big scrapbooking excursion too.
