A Little Mouse in the House.

When I went to make dinner last night - I got out the Cheese and found there had been a MOUSE in the house.

I said....Who's that MOUSE in my HOUSE?? And a little voice said....It's ME, It's Sarah.

Neil's New Old Car.

Wow - what a busy & exciting few months we have had. We had my sister Nadine visit from NZ and it was Sarah's birthday. That was closely followed by a trip to NZ to visit our family & friends. And then I had a few wonderful days away at the Stampin' Up! Convention in Canberra.

And in the middle of all of this happening, we sold one of our cars too. On our return from NZ, Neil was looking through the paper at different things and came across a car that caught his attention. So off he went to look at it. He came home and said he wanted it. So the next day we went back to get it.

TA DAAA....Here it is.......

It's a 1969 Holden Premier. (Bloody good year)!

As you can see - it's Blue with a White roof. The Interior is Black leather - which is all embossed and pleated - so quite fancy. Sorry that's about the extent of my info on it.....motor or mechanical-wise you'd have to ask Neil about it - cause I have NO idea.

We looked on the Internet at the Original TV ad of when it came out....that was a laugh. The ad said....."with extras such as Mudflaps and Wing Mirrors". Yay Yay - we have Extras!

So this is not only Neil's New car but also his new project as he is restoring it. He started straight away and has dismantled the front part already. I'll be adding some updates on it from time to time and keep you posted on the progress.

Lip Stick!!

What a beautiful little Girl. And don't you LOVE the LIPSTICK!!

I was busy doing something the other day when I heard this little voice beside me saying "Mummy - I pretty like you"!

Looking down I saw this beautiful face.

So we went outside and took some pic's - then we cleaned up.

Lucky for me there was no lipstick on floors or furniture. But I do have to put my handbag up high now.

Happy Mail.

I'm quite lucky to receive a bit of Happy Mail from time to time. Here's a couple of things I've received lately.

Firstly, I received this lovely card from Jacque. (Hi Jacque, Waving).

I used to attend Jacque's Card Making Classes each week in NZ. And I loved them. Alot of the projects I have done in my classes have been inspired by Jacques work. And for me, becoming a Demonstrator was largely inspired by Jacque too.

Thank you for the lovely card Jacque and Yes - I will see you in Canberra.

I also received this chain from my SCS Secret Sister, who told me, she has one herself. It hangs over a lamp in her scrap-room to remind her to stay imaginative. It has butterfly wings inside it. Thank you SCS Big Sis.

I do monthly swaps with Kim & Nadine that bring me a good deal of Happy Mail too. In the last swap I did with Kim the theme was "Inspired by something around the house"

This is one of the projects that Kim sent. As you can see - it is inspired by her Clown Tea Pot. Cool aye? The spots are all shiny and raised up. It must have taken her hours to make.

Thank you Kim.

Cannington Craft Show

Yesterday Tracey, Sarah, Jaz & I took part in the Cannington Craft Show.

This is our stand – we had lots of beautiful Cards and Scrapbook pages on display.

Here is a great pic of Tracey & Sarah holding the fort while Jaz runs a Make & Take Session.

We had spent about 4 weeks making bits & Pieces for the show.

Pics of stuff we had made.

Having done the show in December it did not take us long to get organised & set up.

Jaz ran the first of our Demonstrations and Make & Take sessions. Here she is in Action.

Visit to Armadale Reptile Centre

Today Nadine, Sarah and I visited the Armadale Reptile Centre. They have loads of Snakes, Lizards, Turtles, Birds and Frogs.




Nadine got to hold 2 snakes.

First was the South American Boa Constrictor, which is 14 years old and is huge. It took 4 people (including Nadine) to put him away.

Second was a Carpet Python - that is common in the local area. They live in trees.

Sarah patted both Snakes.

Sarah really liked the Crocodile and Wombats. We had to visit both of them several times.

They had a few types of Frogs - they were all cute. This one is stuck to the glass.

We had a great day out.

Sarah, Jasmine, Tracey and I are preparing for the Cannington Craft Show, which is coming up on the 14th March.
