Stuck for an idea for a title?..check out this link....
Ok i know i have been a slack blogger but ive been so busy....doing......stuff...you know....hmmmm ...ok....nothing really....lol....
Oh yeh we headed into the EKKA, on Friday. For those of you not in the know, the EKKA is Brisbanes show day.
Well because of the horrible flu thats been devastating Brisbane this winter the show did not really go off with a bang. But it was great to walk around with no crowds, no lining up for anything, no pushing or shoving, just like going for a Sunday stoll. It was perfect.. Now Craig really didnt want to go to the EKKA. The thought of traipsing round crowds with five kids, all that money wasted, was not his idea of fun. But by the end of the day it was he who had to be dragged from side show alley, saying, just let me have one more turn, im just going to try and win another toy.
So for his 100.00 spent on side show alley he brought home a gorgeous 50cm dragon, worth ..oh id say...10.to 15 dollars in a cheap shop...lol...
yes and all those show bags, not even filled to the brim. He staggered out with about 15 showbags at a cost of 180.00,,,a bargain he told me, till he got home and weeded out the paper and rubbish...lol...
Oh well its all the fun of the rides isnt it..well not for Jack who screamed on the only ride we put him on,,the merry go round..
Well he doesnt have his mothers love of the wild rides. So on i went with Stephanie, and now i have put my back out, i am too old for fast and wild rides..gonna leave it to the young ones in future,.
lol and me being the scrapper i am took many photos, so at the end of the day, we have no money, five over tired, sugar hyped up kids, and sore feet..lol..but we all went to bed with a smile on our faces and a big green dragon to share our bed...


But i have done some scrapping and have purchased some lovely new BG so all is good in the scrapping world...
So next post will have a big share

Sounds like an awesome day Fran - and no crowds to deal with makes it sound even better lol.
Had a laugh at hubby's sideshow antics - that would be me, they are so very addictive, even when I'm not winning lol.
take care
