Good Stuff...



I seriously love everything vanilla (the smell of it is just divine), and though I don't like normal coffee I have always wanted to try vanilla coffee. So while browsing the aisles of woolies I stumbled upon these, needless to say I have fallen in love they smell and taste yummy! They come in a box of 8 for $3 something.

Other good stuff... I have been making more sample cards and I am seriously out of red cardstock, I never thought I was into bright colours until I joined Stampin' Up!, but I really like a lot of the colours in the Bold Brights colour family.

I have to get back into my scrapping now that I have extra shelving and more room in the office. Plus I have a little photo album that I need to put together for Nan and Pop. They want new pics of Lakiesha, so gonna do a cool little album for them.

I bought Dave a George Foreman grill today and we just cooked our steak in it. DIVINE. No more greasy steak or chicken for us, total goodness.

Will post more photos soon, love to ya all.

Decent people...

they are out there. On Saturday my Dad went out drinking with some of his friends, by 7pm he was drunk and ready to go home, he called us and asked us to get him but we were just about to eat dinner and it would have taken us at least half an hour to get to the casino. So he grabbed a taxi and went home, luckily we decided that we had better go down there and make sure he had gotten inside. Well he couldn't get into the house (he'd left his keys behind where his friends were staying) so had decided to lay down in his carport.

So Dave and I went down there and helped him inside, little did we know until Sunday that Dad had left his mobile phone in the taxi that had brought him home. We had tried calling it, Dad had tried calling it but no one answered. This morning at 8:10 I recieved a phone call from the taxi driver that had dropped Dad off at home. He hadn't found the phone until today because he didn't work Sundays, so all our ringing had gone to waste because there was no-one there to hear it.

Well I organised for the taxi driver to come here and drop it off and I would pay the fare. 20 minutes later I got the phone and the fare was only $39. Considering he would have had to get a new phone, heaps cheaper way to do it. The coolest part was that this man remembered dropping Dad off and that he had taken him to Parkerville and then the coolest thing of all happened he said to me "Did he get inside ok?"

WOW! not only did he remember but he cared enough to ask if he was ok! I don't know how many people this man dropped off after Dad but somehow none of them found the phone, a man who was willing to go out of his way and return it did. In fact someone who was willing to return the phone at all would have amazed me I didn't really think there were many of them left in today's world, but it turns out they do exist.

Hooray for the good souls out there!

It's Official...



You are looking at Stampin' Up! Demonstrator number 4000238!! Exciting huh! I have to thank my Dad for being the best in the world, for everything he's ever done for me. I love you Dad you are the best! To my darling David for letting me take this opportunity to try something new and do something I love. I love you honey!

In other news Lakiesha is very well and sleeping through the night at least for the last 2 or 3 so we are hoping it'll stay that way. She's growing so fast and I can't believe she's nearly two. Isn't she beautiful?





Gotta love this girl she has a style all her own. So anyway if anyone would like to see the Stampin' Up! catalouge online click here I can't wait to get out there and start doing workshops and teaching people about stamping and scrapbooking.

Well time to go and make some card samples etc...
Love to you all from us!!

Sick...

So what started out as a normal wednesday at playgroup turned bad. Wednesday afternoon/evening Lakiesha came down sick, vomiting and diarrhea. And today on monday she is a bit better still with an upset tummy but no vomiting so far. Cross your fingers for us. Anyway what started out as 1 sick baby and 2 exhausted parents has turned into 1 unhappy not so well little girl, 1 sick daddy and 1 exhausted mummy. Thankfully I haven't caught the bug so far but I feel a cold coming on so I think I am bound to end up sick anyway. That's all our news we haven't really done much except cleam up spew and poo! We are having lazy days watching movies and trying to get better. Fingers crossed again.

Love, hugs and kisses to you all and here's praying you are all well and don't get sick. xoxo
