Well an uneventful week for me this week although i did get to a crop with the girls from EMM, and that was fantastic. Love chatting with other women who have a passion the same as mine...
Also EMM are having another retreat!!! Wooooohooo, yes ive circled the date on the calender, checked luggage is still in working order, let the family know i wont be home that weekend.Im going on another retreat!!!
And the response this time was.......
"You are so daggy mum...."
Hmmmmm wasnt the response i was expecting. Still how could i expect them to know the excitement i feel on geting away from nappies, washing, making meals, doing dishes, mopping floors and just general household mother duties...None of that on my retreat...nope..cant wait to get away.. Oh and yes that is about all of my social life for the year..
Except for the odd weekend here and there of Karaoke at the pub...And even then i hear,
"Oh mum your soooo embaressing"...lol...
So didnt do a lot this weekend, but as usual i have some to share, as i did do a lot of DT work which i cant show just yet...but...
Ill show you the gorgeous May chooks pack Lorraine sent me, just devine....couldnt wait to use it...have a look..


Had heaps of fun creating with the pack..
Now to share some layouts ive been doing..
This was for my BOM at EMMM Emmies: about my school days..I chose to do mine on a crush i had on my music teacher way back in year eleven....
And a mini book i made for my MIL....












Now for the exciting news from last blog entry.....
