YAY ALEISHA!

WOOHOO! I am so excited that Aleisha won Big Brother, for a while there I thought Zach was going to get it. The announcement was a bit of a anti-climax though with having to wait so long to count the votes, but I was thrilled non the less.

My weekend away with the girls was lovely even if I did only get three LO's done LOL! It was so nice just to be away from the world and I couldn't think of a better place than been hidden away in the Dandenong Ranges. Thanks to Karen we were kept completely warm with blazing fires (I couldn't light a fire if my life depended on it) and my Mumma made the yummiest beef and veggie pie I have ever eaten. Unfortunately I didn't get my camera out once the whole time we were there so I have no photos, must remember to do that next time.

While I was away Caitlin lost her second front tooth and looks as adorable as ever. Gigi still isn't using the toilet so if anyone has any suggestions that could help me out it it would be hugely appreciated.

Now that BB is over and there is still six days before my next addiction begins (Australian Idol) I am immersing myself in the latest Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, so I will be MIA for the next few days.

Have a good week everyone!

QUICK POST

Nothing really exciting to tell you today. Mum and I went furniture shopping today, looking for a new tall boy for the girls room and I think I have found the perfect one.

Pretty quite weekend just past, although Saturday night I did go to my friend Karen's place for a bit of scrapping, which was great. Sunday Andrew and Alan continued with the renovations and I am pleased to say that we no longer have any vinyl wood panelling left on any wall or roof surface LOL. Sunday night was of course eviction night on BB and while I picked Zoran to go I was a little surprised with Joel leaving. Aleisha is still there though and I am still convinced that she has got it in the bag. Can't wait to see what happens this week.

Speaking of this week I don't have anything major on which is a nice change. I need to do some supermarket shopping tomorrow and have my first Weight Watchers meeting on Wednesday night...wish me luck.

The end of the week is where things get exciting. My mum, my girlfriend Karen and I are heading up to my Uncle's cabin in the Dandenongs for a scrapping weekend. I so can't wait. Saturday I am picking the gorgeous Miss Wendy up too so she can spend the day with us. It will be so nice to just sit and scrap and hangout and I might even manage a sleep in or two LOL!

Well that's it for me...so much for a short post PMSL!

Have a good week everyone.

LONG OVERDUE UPDATE

Ok, so I have been promising some pics for quite awhile now so I though it was about time. Before I do though I'll give you an update.

* Big Brother 07...yes I am still completely addicted and getting very excited that we are nearing the big finale. I really want Aleisha to win and I think it might be Billy, Aleisha and Travis as the final three.


* School holidays...were a total blur for us as we spent the entire two weeks with the flu, all four of us and we even managed to share the love by getting my Mum and Dad sick as well as Andrew's parent. Sharing is caring isn't it?

* Michaela & Justin's Engagement Party...my cousin Mich is the most gorgeous person and she has find Mr Perfect! Mick and Juzzy's party was great and a nice treat for Andrew and I, can't remember the last time we went out with adults and no kids LOL. I was under strict instructions from Miss Wendy to take a heap of photos and I even remembered to lug my camera along with me. As for photos, well I didn't get that far so I made Andrew take a photo of me when we go home in the wee hours of the morning and then I took one of him. So Miss Wend, here are your photos LOL

*
Ebony...so many of you have asked me lately how Ebony is after being hit by a car last December. Can you believe that it was 7 months ago? Well I am please to report that she is fantastic, pretty much back to 100%. Her leg seems to go a little limp whenever she jumps up onto the couch but if you didn't know then you wouldn't notice. The vet says it's because she fractured her pelvis and she has a little bit of nerve damage, so at least she isn't in any pain. Here's a pic of my beautiful furbuba.


* And here are some more pics for Aunty Wend & Uncle Dunk...Caitlin's 6th Birthday!


I know I still owe some LO's but my scrap room is such a mess I can't even get in the door so I will have to scan them another day. I also need to upload some photos of all the work Alan has done around the house. I have walls and cornice's as well as grout thanks to Andrew's dad. The renovations are actually starting to make this place look like a house...who would have thought?

Anyway, that's it from me. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

I DESPERATELY NEED TO

do some food shopping! With the kids on school holidays they have eaten me out of house and hold.

Had a pretty good day today. Caitlin has been at my girlfriend Bec's place today playing with Melody. Caitlin and Mellie are only a week a part and because they aren't able to see each other for their birthdays we decided to let them spend the whole day together today. Gig and I just had a nice lazy day watching DVD's and eating yummy pumpkin soup...just what the doctor ordered seeing as Georgia is now completely full of the flu.

Mum and Dad called in today after they had been shopping at Pumpkin Patch. They really should be banned LOL but they did buy Georgia the most adorable outfit for her to wear to her sisters party on Sunday (Caitlin will also get one as part of her present on Sunday). I'll make sure I take a heap of photos!

Well I had better go and get Gigi into her PJ's and give her some medicine before putting her to bed. FNL is on tonight so that will take up most of my night and then I might do some more sewing...I have a nice little menagerie of felt toys growing here.

Thanks you to everyone who has sent Caitlin birthday wishes for her 6th Birthday on Sunday!

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Stay warm.

A SUCCESSFUL SHOPPING ADVENTURE

I had indeed last night. I left home around 11.20pm thinking I would sit in the car for a while and sort my shopping list out...that didn't happen LOL. When I got there there were already about 25 women standing in line so I ended up standing in the freezing cold for about 40 minutes waiting for the doors to open. Everyone in front of me headed for the big items (like swings set etc) and to the audio department for Playstations, Wii's etc so I ended up being the first one to get to the toy department. It wasn't as crazy as I thought it would be but I still headed to the cars isle first so I could get my hands on Lightning McQueen and friends before they ran out the door. I then managed to fill my trolley to the brim with a huge wooden doll house, anything to do with the Littlest Pet Shop and the new Barbie Fairytopia Rainbow, Fisher Price stuff for my nephew, Mr Potato Head and family, a baby doll and heaps of accessories as well as a heap of playdoh stuff...PHEW! Then I headed for the Layby queue and was told by a staff member that it would be about a 2-3 hour wait...BUGGER! Then I remembered that when I first walked in they made an announcement that if you had a layby card you could out it through at one of the registers. When I get over there they are empty...no one around...COOL! So I unload my trolley and set about getting my card out as the cashier is scanning my items only to discover that I can't find my card...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The lively cashier told me not to worry as she would just issue me a new one! YIPPEE! All my shopping done and I am home but 1.10am! Very successful indeed!
That's it for me today. I must remember to take some pics of all my little felt creations that I have been making over the last week. Off to do some scrapping now!

Oh and thanks to everyone who has called, emailed or left comments about the girls. They are both doing much better and it looks like we will have a more enjoyable second week of school holidays.

WHY IS IT

that kids always get sick on school holidays? I took Caitlin to the doctor's yesterdays because she had this shocking cough and although she was given antibiotics they really hadn't kicked in last night, so she had a shocker. At 2am she ended up in our bed with Andrew and I got into her bed. I only lasted half an hour (note to self...Caitlin desperately needs a new mattress) before I grabbed a doona and a pillow and headed for the couch. Just as I was starting to drift off Georgia woke up crying...CROUP...bugger me. Needless to say I got no more than an hours sleep and have had a very lazy day lying on the couch. I've watched a little BB on live streaming, blog hopped, done some wish list scrap shopping, drooled over bedroom furniture at Pottery Barn for Kids (thank god the don't do International delivery) and went looking for some felt toy inspiration. Fairly productive work form the couch I say LOL!

When Andrew gets home from work I am going to go and have a little snooze and then I am heading to the Kmart Toy Sale at midnight. With Cailtin's 6th Birthday on Sunday it is perfect timing and I may even put a few things away on layby for Christmas.

Well that's it for another day. Hope everyone is enjoying the school holidays!

Ange xx

I've noticed that I am getting quite a few hits here a day, so don't be shy and leave me a comment saying hi!

HAVE SOME SPARE TIME

so I decided to blog again. The girls are happily glued to the TV in the rumpus room watching Shrek 3, so it is fairly quite here (for the time being). I have had a productive morning and am pleased to say that all my housework is done. I've also spoken to Kass, who is in Vancouver and she sounds great. She is looking forward to coming home and will arrive back in Melbourne on Thursday morning.

This morning I also decided that Gigi and I would have a real good crack at this toilet training thing and while she is extremely excited about wearing undies, I have already had to clean one pair of pants with poo in them and another pair full of wees...oh the joys of toilet training.

Last night I completed Janelle Wind's Felt Folio class that is available on Kim Archer's web site and am absolutely thrilled with the result. Who knew I could sew LOL! I am so going to Spotlight tomorrow to get some more supplies so I can make a few more. I am also going to give this chooky a go after seeing it on Rach's blog.

Well that's it for me for today...I'll leave you with my Loves and Loathes list...

WEEKEND ROUND UP

Friday night a couple of the girls came over for a scrap, but not before we of course watched Friday Night Games. I sooo thought Joel was going to win LOL!

Saturday Alan was here again doing some more plastering and the girls and I just hung out. I managed to finally get around to making some pumpkin soup and this time tried making it in the crock pot...very good indeed if I say so myself.

Another relaxing day today after quite a big sleep in. Andrew has a shocking cough at the moment so I didn't get much sleep. Alan and Andrew did some more work around the house today and I almost have down lights in my kitchen...there in just not connected yet LOL.

Not a very exciting weekend but nice and relaxing just the same.

School holidays officially start here in Victoria tomorrow and I am looking forward to not having to rush around in the mornings. The girls, my Mum and I are off to do a little furniture shopping tomorrow. Andrew and I need a new tall boy and bedside tables for our bedroom, so fingers crossed that I find just what I want.

As far as the rest of the week is concerned I'm not too sure what we will get up to yet. Caitlin wants to make some cookies and would also like me to make some playdoh. Georgia wants to do some painting and some drawing, so that should keep us busy for a day or two LOL.

Sunday will see us celebrating Caitlin's 6th birthday. I can't believe she will be six. She is having a party with all her school friends on Sunday afternoon and then Nanny & Pa will be here for dinner Sunday night. We usually have her godparents here as well but Uncle Sean is somewhere in Europe and Aunty Fliss is is Italy with Tony.

That's it for me for now...I'm just about to watch a bit of the Diana Concert on Foxtel before heading off to bed.

Hope everyone has a good week.

DEVASTATED

Billy has been robbed! I so wanted him to win FNL tonight and in all honesty i think he did, only that he couldn't keep the tripe down...poor baby! Daniela is just going to do my head in over this although taking Michelle into the rewards room is punishment enough for me LOL!

OK off my soap box now and returning to normal viewing!

WEEKLY CATCHUP

Well it's almost been a week since I last blogged and definitely will be by the time I finish LOL!

Before I go any further I have to say a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my gorgeous nephew Ethan, who turned 1 today, I can't believe that it has been a year already. My SIL Kirsty took some gorgeous photos of him at dinner tonight and I can't wait to get my hands on them.

Not too much has happened in a week. Saturday I went to Sensational Saturday down at Scraptacular. It was so nice to be out and having a chat with the girls as well as getting a little scrapping done. I only managed to scrap two layouts and I will scan and upload them over the weekend. When I got home on Saturday night I was starting to feel sick and when I woke up on Sunday I was well and truly full of the flu. I spent the next four days slowly dying on the couch and am only now starting to feel like my old self again.

The girls have been great and luckily didn't come down with the flu. Georgia had kinda on Wednesday and finally she is absolutely loving it. No more tears or tantrums and making Mummy feel awful about leaving her. She loves Wednesday's now and I have to ask for a kiss goodbye when I'm leaving LOL. I knew it would happen and am just glad that it didn't take long.

Still loving Big Brother and am hanging for this Sunday Night's Eviction. It is going to be a big one that's for sure and I just hope that Billy doesn't go. I really like Andrew too but I think he is ready to go and wants to see Hayley. Spewing that Jamie got to use the twist and pull himself out, especially after reading the latest article about him in TV Week.

So what's planned for this weekend? We have Ethan's Birthday party on Saturday and that my friends is just about it. Nothing else on. I might try and do a little scrapbooking, if I can find some creative juices, and I definitely need to take some photos of the girls as it seems like ages since I took any.

That's it for me Chickie's. Hope everyone has had a good week and has a great weekend.

TGIF

Well it's Friday again and I am counting down the hours (minutes now) until BB Friday Night Games starts. Andrew has gone to work, the girls have had tea and the house is clean. My dinner is sitting in the fridge waiting to be zapped, so I am all organised. I can't believe how utterly addicted I am to Big Brother this year. Andrew and I have even been hooking the laptop up to the TV at night so we can watch live streaming. The only bugger is that streaming only lasts for 20 minutes and then you have to click it again. It's the last thing you want to do once you have gotten comfy on the couch, but being able to watch it on 107cm plasma is so worth it, so Andrew and I have resorted to 'rocking off' every time it needs to be done. I am officially the Rock, Paper, Scissor Queen int his house LOL.

Tomorrow I am heading down to Scraptacular for their Sensational Saturday Crop/5th Birthday Celebrations. Unfortunately I won't be able to get down there until 2pm (babysitting bungle) but at least I still get to spend at least 7 hours scrapping away and as a bonus it also means 7 hours with Wend which is always guaranteed to be fun.

Not much else is planned for the weekend. It looks like Andrew might have to go into work on Sunday so I might just have to find something to do with the girls as not doubt they will be well and truly over Mummy by then.

In other exciting news I am hanging for Kass to get home from her overseas trip. Not that I miss her or anything (LOL) but she has bought me a new lens for my Canon 350D and it is only costing me about $85 AU. How cool is that? Kass sounds like she is having a wonderful time and I really am looking forward to her coming home so I can hear all about it.

That's about it for me today. 25 minutes until the daily show starts so I better get the kids in the bath.

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

LAYOUT SHARE

I have been meaning to scan LO's for ages now and finally got around to it tonight.

A WONDERFUL SATURDAY

WOW! What a fabulous day the girls and I have had.

Caitlin had a party for one of her friends from school, so we dropped Gigi at Nanna's and then the two of us headed to Kidz City. Two hours of bliss for both of us LOL. she ran around and had a ball with all her friends and I sat and had coffee and lunch with a friend Louise (Dylan's Mum).

When the party was finished Caitlin and I picked Gigi up from Nanna's and then drove over to see Uncle Dunk and Aunty Wendy, where we were completely spoilt rotten. Dunk had moved furniture around and made the girls a cubby house, there were boxes of toys to play with and new colouring books and crayons. Later in the afternoon the girls were served yummy chicken nuggets and got to eat them while sitting in front of the TV watching the Lion King. I too was spoilt rotten and had an endless supply of drinks and then topped off with pizza for tea. Just when the girls thought it couldn't get any better Uncle Dunk and Aunty Wend gave them a present to take home and out in their bedroom. It's a little virtual fish tank that lights up. The girls love it and have both gone to bed tonight watching the fishy's swim around in circles.

I am so very lucky to have wonderful friends who love my girls just as much as me LOL.

Thanks Dunk and Wend for a fantastic afternoon. Love you both.

I'll leave you with some pics that we took today

YAY

I finally seem to have gotten rid of all the little bugs that have been playing funny buggers with my internet connection.

Not much else is news since my last post. Renovations are still in full swing and it also seems as though the germs that have invaded our house in the last couple of weeks have found a new home.

Is it sad that at 1.30pm I am starting to count down the hours until Big Brother starts tonight? Friday nights are pretty boring around here as Andrew leaves for work at 7am and doesn't come home until 10pm. By tea time the girls are well and truly over being with me and I am looking forward to them going to bed LOL. I make myself a coffee, sit my bum down on the couch and hang on every moment that is Friday Night Live. I don't answer the phone (unless it is an ad break and then you are quickly told you have about two minutes to tell me whatever it is you need to tell me) and i only get up if the girls need me or I need to go to the loo and that too is usually reserved for ad breaks.

Tomorrow Caitlin has a birthday party to go to at one of those indoor play centres, so while she is happily playing away I will enjoy a nice Latte and devour the latest copy of Scrapbooks Etc. The party finishes at 2pm and Caitlin and I will go and pick Georgia up from Nanna's and then drive over to see Aunty Wend and Uncle Dunk for afternoon tea.

Sunday is renovation day, so we will be home all day pottering around. I might even make a roast for tea on Sunday night, but don't tell Andrew, just in case I change my mind LOL.

Well that's it for me today. I'm off to put another load of washing on, which will mean all my housework is done and then I might try and do some scrapping to pass the time until Big Brother starts.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

10 THINGS FOR TODAY

I saw this on Wendy Sue's blog and thought it was a great idea...an easy way to update my blog too!


1. Mother's Day was just wonderful. This year with both the girls being in school and kinda I received gifts just from them. Caitlin bought me a little wire basket filled with a manicure set, body wash, a loofah and a makeup purse that she purchased from the Mother's Day stall at school. From Georgia I got a frame that has her hand prints in them as well as a handmade card. We had lunch with my in-laws at Moonee Valley, which was yummo and then spent the afternoon lounging around at home. My mum and dad came here for tea and we got pizza and pasta from my BIL's pizza shop.


2. Miss Gigi has had her first real haircut and she looks like such a little girl now. How could you not love that face.









3. Saturday I headed over to Picture to Page with Jen Hen and Karen and met Miss Wendy there. The show was ok but a lot of old stuff. I did manage to spend a bit of money though, funny that, but not as much as i thought i would. Jen, Kaz, Wend and I then headed over to Sofia's for lunch and let me just say that I have never seen a meal so big in all my life. It was just so nice to sit with the girls and chat, I really enjoyed it.





4. I completed another LO for the 123 Challenge Blog. This time the challenge was to use 3 or more pp's for your background, transparencies, and flowers. This is what I came up with;




5. We now have two working toilets in our house LOL. My dad came around on Saturday night and connected all the plumbing and then on Sunday Alan plastered the walls and Andrew wired up the light, so our second toilet off the laundry is now officially a toilet and no longer a storage room for renovation stuff.



6. Friday night Karen, Linda and Evelyn (my other Mum) came over for a little scrap session. I only managed to get two layouts and a card done, but that is good for me. I will scan and upload some LO's a little later.



7. Also on scrapping, I went to Sensational Saturday at Scraptacular with Miss Wendy Saturday week ago. We scrapped from 10am to 9.30pm and I completed 5 layouts. I had such an amazing day and it was lovely to met so many wonderful new people. I am so looking forward to next month. I also got to catch up with Rachael and her beautiful little girl Bella who, let me tell you is the sweetest little thing ever, and such a good girl.



8. This term at school for Caitlin is all about the farm. Yesterday all the prep's went on their first school excursion the the Bundoora Children's Farm and last Friday they had a farm parade at school. Caitlin went dressed as an adorable pink pig and I got the cutest pics of her and Jordan, who went dressed as a bull.

9. Andrew has decided that YES redoing my scrap room is a great idea and between the two of us we have come up with a plan that we both like. He is going to build me a massive desk that will run from one wall all the way to the other which will give me a big space fro scrapping, a space for the laptop and printer and also a space so that i can keep my sewing machine out too. We are also going to get two 16 cube bookcases and I already have a tall bookcase that is still raw, so I can paint that to match. I really wanted to go for white but am now heading towards chocolate brown for all the furniture. Anyway it something to think about and I have plenty of time to do that as it won't be happening until the other renovations are done.

10. It has taken me longer than I thought it would to reach number ten and I can't think of anything else to tell you LOL. Ok how about i need to do some house work? That'll do.

Thanks for dropping by. Hope everyone is having a good week so far.

Ange xx

Big hugs for Miss Wendy who is really sick at the moment. You have to get better Wend, we have a lunch date on Sunday LOL

LAYOUT SHARE

It has been ages since I shared any LO's, mainly because it has been ages since I scrapped anything just for me.

This LO (Schoolgirl) was quick and simple. Caitlin has been to heaps of parties before, but this was her first one since starting school.



Another quick and simple one (Mwah). I have been wanting to scrap this photo of Andrew and Caitlin for ages. I'm not completely happy with this LO so I might have to play around with it for a little bit longer. It just needs something else...what exactly I don't know yet, but I'll get there LOL.



This LO (Soak Up) has on it my fav photo at the moment. As the journaling says, it's not very often that I am in front of the camera and Andrew seems to doing well with his 'how to use Ange's camera' lessons.



And lastly this LO (3rd Birthday) is proof that I am a good mother, as Georgia made it to her 3rd birthday LOL! Why is it that she looks so angelic in photos???



Well that's it for me today. Off to finish the housework and figure out what's for tea tonight.

Hope every one's having a good day.

PLAYING CATCHUP

*WARNING, WARNING, LONG POST AHEAD*

Ok, so I didn't make it back yesterday for my promised update, but I'm here now LOL!

So where do I start with what has been happening over the past couple of weeks? Point form is always a good idea, so here goes;

* Miss Gigi and I are still persevering with 3yo Kinda and 1 day of occasional care. She has fine tuned her ability to make me feel like the worse mother in the world and I ma sure she has convinced herself that she is not allowed to have fun while she is there. It is getting better though and hopefully within a few weeks it will all be good.

* Renovations are back in full swing here, albeit it slowly. Andrew is in the laundry as I type, removing the hideous old wallpaper from one wall and also from the walls in the second toilet (which is off the laundry). My dad is dropping in one night this week to connect the plumbing for the toilet and then our resident plasterer, Alan, will be coming on Saturday to begin the mammoth task of re plastering in the laundry & toilet, the kitchen & meals area, the lounge room and then finally the rumpus room.

* Caitlin lost her third tooth last night, one of the top front ones, and let me just say how adorably funny she looks with her new toothy grin. Thankfully school photos were taken at the end of first term. So anyways, last night we placed the tooth in this special little silver bag (like the ones you get jewellery in) and hung it out for the tooth fairy. She was busting at the seems this morning to see if her tooth had been taken and was absolutely delighted to find a $5 note. She also told us that she could see a little bit of fairy dust in the bottom of the bag (plaster dust, but who am I to burst her bubble)LOL.

* Not alot of scrapping has been done lately, but I think my mojo is returning. I discovered the 123 Challenge blog while I was blog hopping one day and decided to complete the April Challenge, which was to use a chipboard swirl, use some bling and not to use any paint anywhere. The LO turned out very simple, but I loved it, and I am pleased to say that I won one of the prizes for my efforts WOOHOO! So here is the layout and don't forget to check out the 123 Challenge Blog and have a look see for yourself.



* Friday night just gone I had a great night here at home with some great company. I asked my Mum to come over and scrap (she's just discovered the obsession) and just chill out and then I spoke to Miss Wendy, and when I mentioned what I was doing she said she might head over for a coffee if she got the chance. Wend did get the chance and arrived just after six bringing with her the yummiest Chicken Curry, Kumpow Chicken and rice. Kass called to ask if she could pinch a pizza box from me to send a LO off that had been accepted for SC, and so she arrived at about 8pm, with my Mum arriving soon after. Needless to say no scrapbooking was done, but we certainly did get a heap of chatting done LOL. It was a great impromptu girls night and couldn't have been better if I planned it.

* I have discovered Stampin Up! I know that most of you have probably already made this wonderful discovery and you are all in trouble for not passing it on to me LOL.
Wend invited me to Deb's place down in Patterson Lakes (which Kass said I would need a passport for considering how far I was going LOL) where the lovely Claire Daly was running a workshop. Thanks Deb for having me in your gorgeous home and it was really lovely meeting all the girls. Now I just need to win tatts so I can have one of everything from the Stampin Up catalogue! (Melissa look out, I will be stalking you soon)

That's all I can think of for the moment. I have a busy couple of weeks coming up so I will have more news soon.

Hope everyone is having a nice, relaxing Sunday. I'm off to try and do some scrapbooking, just have to clean my scraproom first ARGH!

PHOTO SHARE

We visited the Children's Park in the City on the last day of school holidays and I have been meaning to sahre some photos with you for over two weeks...better late than never!

 

I am spending the day on my laptop and one of my 'things to do' is give my poor neglected a blog some much needed attention, so I will be back a little later with an update on what has been happening over the past few weeks and I also think it was a bout time I shred some LO's, so I will add that to my list of things to do aswell.

Till later...
