Create for a Cause

A couple of lovely ladies from North Brisbane are hosting a Crop to raise money for equipment and research into the lives of premature and seriously ill babies through the Perinatal Research Centre (part of the Royal Brisbane Women’s Hospital Foundation).
Its happening on Saturday 30 May 2009 from 11am to 10pm at Old Bay Road Community Arts Hall, Burpengary, Brisbane.
Go and check out their blog at http://create-4acause.blogspot.com/ for details on how you can join in the fun, and help raise money for a great cause at the same time.
I hope to see you there,

I'm no FOOL!!!

What a great April Fool's Day - it was announced today that I am on the Design Team for the wonderful Aussie Pub Calls site .... and it wasn't a joke! I am so happy to be part of Sine's wonderful site, and really looking forward to sharing my layouts with everyone. Come on over and have a look at the great offers that are available through the site.

Life goes on and on and on ....

Life seems to be so busy at the moment that unfortuanetly my scrapping, and creative outlet, has taken a back seat. The twins have started playing club sports, so that means twice a week i need to run them around to training. Naturally, they couldn't agree to play the same sport ..oh no, DS4 has gone for soccer (sorry, football) and DS5 is in for AFL. I have no idea where these passions came from, certainly not me ... and we arent close enough to relatives to absorb the inlaws Italian soccer fever, but there we have it. Goodbye to afternoons in front of the telly (as if!) and Saturday morning sleep-ins!
Other news on the front is that work delivered me a pretty yucky blow this week. My secondment isnt going to be renewed after June ...... major downer!!! I am NOT going back to the classroom! so I really need to get something organised over the next couple of months ...all suggestions welcome :)
I guess that's about it at the moment. I apologise for my repetitive slideshow, I really need to upload some more layouts in the near future. That's a great rainy day job , scan...resize...upload...add to slideshow .... you know how it goes. Pity we dont have many rainy days though.
cheers all

Well here we are, well and truly in 2009 and this is my first post for the year! How slack is that? Life has been pretty full on this year. DS3 moved out, and I really miss his help with the younger two. It seems so quiet around here with just the four of us in the house. Why is it that by the time we can afford a big house - the older 3 have moved out! We actually have two empty bedrooms ! though I do plan to rearrange things eventually.
Scrapping took a bit of a rest over Christmas as my right arm has some nerve damage that makes it difficult to use for long periods of time, and it really needed a rest. I actually went to a crop and made coffee and read magazines all night !!! It was that bad :( Hopefully a visit to the neurosurgeon this week will see some improvement soon.
Work is busy, the boys love yr 3, DS2 is now 2IC at the bakery, DS1 is writing the last chapter of his novel and DH is still flying around the state - so yeah life is pretty normal as it ever will be.
I will try and upload some new LO's soon. I havent put any of my 2009 efforts up here as yet.
cheers

Yes I know it's been ages ....

Life just seems to get away from me at the moment. I am actually trying to spend less time on the computer and more time scrapping - and basically it is working (as you can see from my updated slideshow). Our 'roadtrip' down south went fantastic!! The Great Ocean Road is just amazing! Australia does have some absolutely beautiful scenery that's for sure. The boys learnt so much about Aust history on our trip. Soveriegn Hill, Eureka Stockade, Ned Kelly, just to name a few. We did Melbourne and Canberra, visit grandparents in Sydney and Coffs Harbour and came home slightly exhausted. I now have the challenge of choosing which of the 800 photos I took will actually be scrapped! This could be a very lengthy process.
well cheers all,
keep well,
Grace
