Champagne Headache....

Are you serious!!! I haven't posted since the 10th.....How slack am I? shh don't answer that. Actually been really busy chasing payments for the retreat and organizing all those bits and pieces.... As well as work work work, Being a Mum and the rest we all have to squeeze in, in our busy lives....

Now let me see if I can remember whats been happening and fill you in. Well nothing really springs to mind. The retreat has been my main focus, with only 54 sleeps to go.

I took Blaine to see Star Wars Clones. We went to the 5pm session and was so glad as we were the only people in the entire cinema. Gave me a chance to catch up on some sleep (oops, really didn't mean it) but what I saw of it, was pretty good. I have been so tired lately, just can't seem to spring into action. As soon as I sit i'm snoozing. Think it's time to recharge the batteries and maybe save for a long relaxing holiday.....

Last Thursday I did something really silly. Saw my friend Danny at the post office, went out to my car to find the little turd had played with my wipers etc.... Had a giggle and thought, bugger him I will return the favour. So off I got and do the same then I skip back to my car, fell of the gutter twisting my ankle and couldn't drive. I honestly thought I had broken something that night because as the day got later the more it hurt. Friday morning I woke up to a better ankle and a thrwn out back!! Im such an idiot. Didn't stop me though going to the IAG gala for work on Saturday night though. I woke up this morning with a champagne headache. The entertainment was Ross Wilson. His 1st set was very average but was great when he started belting out songs like 'cool world', 'eagle rock' and 'Come said the boy' . Even had a dance with the boss. Here are a few pics from the night....Oh and nothing going on with this guy, just the guy i share my office with...

Not a lot on the scrap fron either. Has been a while since I ave sat down and really got into scrapping. I am halfway through finishing Lali's CJ and starting Sammi's scraplift challenge. Sorry girls im never usually this slack in getting these done. Here is what i have done since last time.

Doesn't time fly when you are flat out? I cant believe its been 3 weeks since i last posted.

1st i have to say happy birthday to my Neice and Nephew, Chloe who turned 8 and Damon who turned 9. We had McDonalds for dinner and the had cold rock iceream after that. I hope you both had a great day.

With winter here, the weekends have been spent at home in our PJ's catching up on baking, scrapping and house work and I must say, I have loved it. I have had a bit of a sick kid here but he seems to deal with it pretty well apart from school. Just not himself, very distracted and not settling to well. He had Friday off so I'm hoping the rest from this weekend helps him settle a bit and get back into a routine.

I have been flat out this week organizing final numbers for the retreat, as well as classes, meals and freebies. It has been harder than you can imagine. Not a lot of business are keen to support such a thing but I am hoping in the next few weeks, something sparks and i get a little more support. i would love your ideas on sponser and donations if you have any.

A cybercrop was held this weekend at SC and once again the DT turn out some spectacular challenges and even more impressive examples. Our CC's have been very quite of late and i am hoping entries start rolling in soon.

The August sketch competition is also running. Check our the Competition section for the map and requirements.

Julie is going great guns with the little things challenges. I am hoping to try and catch up this week with her rounds and her layouts have been exceptional. Also a big congrats to our one and only hetty hall for becoming a DT for Kaiser Craft. I have been very lucky to have such a great group of ladies apart of the SC team. Nothing is ever too much and they are always supportive and helpful where ever they can be.

Here is a few things i have done......
