A GREAT DAY!!!!

I have had a great day today!!! The family got some great news which we celebrated with take out for dinner. We have takeout maybe 2/3 times a year, so tonight we all voted and decided that KFC was in order.

What is it about KFC, you hang for it but once its finished you regret it???

This great news has meant that some of the stress we have had over the last few months is gone,  thank God . Maddii has been begging to go to her best friends, Casey, 18th birthday party in Newcastle,(the family we went to Coffs Harbour with). With the stress gone Tony has decided that he will take her. 

 

OMG!!!!!!This is a unsolicited hug, had to get a shot of that. We don't get many of these now-a-days. 

As you can tell she is over the moon.

LOOK WHAT CAME TODAY!!!!

So excited, today my Mouse, Paper, Scissors kit came. I love it

This is what I saw when I opened it. It is sooooo beautiful!!!! It came with everything including adhesives.

as well as this cute card from Heidi and Jessica.

FINALLY!!!

I finally received one of my Christmas presents today, the first copy of the O magazine came. Tony got me a subscription for Christmas. I have to say that I love the O magazine as well as Martha Stewart Living. They are such great mags and the photography is just amazing. Even everyday stuff looks so beautiful and interesting.

2 of my favourites!!!

I also spent a bit of time getting ready for a new online course. I can't wait to start this one.....

This is a workshop run by both Jessica Sprague and Heidi Swapp....... SO EXCITED!!!!!

ITS FINALLY DONE!!!!

Over the last three weekends we have slowly tackled Lavenders bedroom. Let me start by saying that while Lavender has many wonderful characteristics, cleanliness is not one of them. To put it straight, she is a little piggy and has a bad habit of NEVER putting anything away.
We have been spending about 4 hours every Saturday for the last 3 weeks addressing certain areas of her bedroom. When we started her cupboard could not open without things falling out, you could not see the floor, under her bed was full over baskets that were overflowing, her computer cupboard was full of crap and she had a folding table that was cover with stuff and had boxes and a drawer unit underneath. I forgot to take a photo before we started.
Now it looks like this.......

Everything is gone from under the bed, you can easily open the cupboard and nothing falls out, we got rid of the folding table and drawers and the computer cupboard now has her computer in it and not much else. Three quarters of the stuff is gone and the room looks great. Lets see how long it lasts.

PLAYING WITH MY MACRO!

I love my new macro!!!!!! Had a bit of a play with it today.

Can't wait to play again.

PITTER,PATTER!!!!

Pitter, patter is all I heard all day. I can't remember the last time that it rained for the whole day without stopping. I love the rain, its smell, the sound, the rugging up you do, the justification to just stay home and especially watching it. When I was a child I would sit in the door way with the door opened and a rug around me and just watch it for hours. Here is a few shots I took today (not with my macro lens).

A TRUE MASTER PIECE!

Today I finished the page I started on Wednesday. Its for the Color Room Challenge, Palette #45 (Her Room).

When the new Kindy opened last year, they took Phoenix aside and asked her to paint a canvas. Last week I noticed that they had hung it up as artwork in the foyer. Phoenix was so proud and smiles every time we walk past it. I asked if I could come and take a shot of it.
And now for the unveiling...........

A TRUE MASTER PIECE!!!!!
