blond again

Just thought I'd share a pic of my new hair colour. Of course I will have it done again and again until it's pure blonde all over, but slowly slowly...My friend Liz streaked it for me on Saturday.
what do you think?? My mum will love it - she said "That black was absolutely terrible!" lol. And of course Murray likes it...he has a thing for blondes, which is halff the reason I DIDN"T change it till now...even though I was planning on doing it before I even MET him! lol

Like my shirt?? hahaha

We have possums!!

I guess this could be a daily photo hehe. One of them is named Scab because she snatches food. We haven't hand fed them here yet, but Liz does at her place every night and we've fed them up there, so hooefully it won't take long for them to realise who we are lol.

I'm getting my hair done today!! Murray asked me if i can go back to blonde lol...so after three motnhs I decided stuff it why not! Mum is stoked too lol. I will post a pic later on or Monday depending on what we are doing this weekend! lol

Dinner, babies and my name in ants??

LOL. Well I had a good day yesterday. Pottering about the house. Poor Murray, his legs are killing him - he had to cut in (?) 4 houses on monday and he was squattng and standing and squatting and standing alllll day ...poor bloke. It's not one of those pains you can massage out either :( He is better today...sorta lol.
We had a lovely dinner last night. Tony shouted Murray and I Chinese at a little restaurant in Waterford. I grew up there and that place has been there for as long as I can remember but I've NEVER been there prior. Really really good food! We had a 'banquet' lots of typical chinese stuff but all so fresh! Had to laugh at my fortune cookie "Trust him but keep your eyes open" ?? WT? Katrina (Tony's niece) got the same one lol...

I took my 1st pic for the 365 thingy yesterday. It's not of me but my name in ants lol...let me show you...you might have to click on the image to see a bigger one

It's this honey smelling stuff called Ant Rid...lol...

Oh I transferred a couple of pics from my phone earlier too... I really like this one...makes me fleetingly wish I'd have met Murray 13 years ago...


It's Murray with Oscar, Tony's grandson, when oscar was only a week or two old...

ho hum...well anyways, I had better get going, I've done no housework yet today, which is unlike me but I guess I don't have dinner dishes today lol.
Till next time people! Enjoy your summer day!!

Photo a day challenge...

Well, I have just been reading a thread started by Chillibits over at A Passion for Craft forum. I am going to do mine the same as I attempted last year, with a photo of myself everyday for 365 days. I want to see how I change...have to say, I can't wait till February!!! I will have new teef!!! lol I will get my first one up tomorrow morning.

On another note - we have kittens!! Siren gave birth to 6 kittens three days before Christmas! One didn't make it but 5 are doing really well. THree are grey like her, one is more black striped and the other is a tortoise shell lol. She just came to me about two minutes ago with one of them in her mouth jumped up on the computer table! now she is whingeing!! WTF is she doing?? she is a weirdo! I will take a couple of pics later on of those too lol.

Yesterday I saw something really pretty in the pond....but turns out something so damn ugly created the pretties...have you ever seen CANE TOAD eggs?? there was about 5 metres of them! Yep all one big long line, just black dots in a gel casing - looked a lot like a beaded necklace. I put them in to sun to dry out. How can such beauty come from such a hideous creature?? lol.

Today I have a pain in my back. I don't know what I've done but I know my neck is getting stiffer and stiffer, and later wil come the migraine. Good thing the kids are at mums lol.

anyways, I better go, I may be back later lol

Oh I will add new blogs to my list too, so check em out if you get a chance!

ok ok one more post 4 today lol

Time 4 change

My life has changed so I think today I will try to change my blog background too! lol.
I noticed in the blog feed thingy I have had someone from FINLAND read my blog...NICE!!! Please comment - in Finnish if u like, I do speak and understand Finnish - well...it's limited but I can always ask my mum LOL!!

Yesterday we went for a ride, ooooooh it was soooo great! I really need to start taking the camera with me when we go on these trips. See Every fortnight the kids go with their dad for the day and we get to go out. I cannot believe his form yesterday!! Far out he's game I'll give him that much! See a few years ago I reeeeeeeally wanted to get some weirdass contacts - red ones like Manson (teehee) but never had the $. Well what did the tard turn up with yesterday? uh huh. Contacts...red ones. *sigh* really I should have turned them down. He reckons he bought them THEN went to get his eyes checked to see if he can wear them? well apparently he can't because his right eye was split open a few years ago (a mate smashed his face when he cheated on me LOL) and they stiched his eye with too many stitches ...so yea he can't open his eye enough to get a contact in. Murray said not to use them cuz god knows what he might have put in the solution, and I won't use them, but I reminded Murray that I'm pretty sure the tard wouldn't have the balls to fuck me over, knowing who Murray is LOL! he's like yea well.
So over that BS, we started out on the bike. Went to a mate's place to meet the others, (there was 5 bikes - apparently any more than 5 (or is it 6??) bikes in a pack is classed as a 'gang' so we normally only go in packs of 5, just so as not to draw attention of the coppers lol) then we headed out first through Logan Village up to Mt Tamborine...ah what a mountain...had lunch at St Bernard's pub...DON'T buy the steak sandwich!! OMFG! For 18 bux you get a steak and salad on a f*cking garlic bread roll!! what the hell is that?? nothing on the menu about it at all!! Murray and Jockey have high cholestorol, and they both got one. We did complan...Murray tried to be a bit polite about when the chef came out - "ummm, this 'sandwich' is ..." jockey cut in - "shit mate! feel the weight of this bloody thing! must have heaps of butter on it eh?" ROFFL so we all chimed in our complaints - me with "so when you reprint your menus in the morning (they had photocopies of the menu on white A4 paper - how unprofessional! lol) make sure you write something about the fact that it's on garlic bread, cuz if we'd have known they wouldn't have been ordered!!" there was 4 ordered at our table, and I reckon if Murray and I shared we BOTH would have been pretty full. I ordered 'quiche of the day' which was a quiche smaller than a muffin with chips and a bowl of CLOVER! bwahahaaa. would have been okay 'cept it cost $16.50! bloody rude I thought....but that's part of the experience I guess!
Then from there we went to Canungra pub to have a drink and play a couple of games of Keno. Nice little pub I s'pose. Then we popped in to the final meeting point at my old drinking hole , age pre-twenties lol, Fitzy's - formerly known as The Waterford Arms Tavern. It's changed a helluva lot! Still ok though I guess. Then we came home and had to go pick the kids up from the plaza, apparently there were no more buses to our street. They had fun, we had fun...a perfect day for all.
Today mum is coming to get the kids for a few days. Today I have heaps of washing - have had the housework done since 6am - Murray went back to work today and had a 4.40 start EEEEEK! but it's all good. He might finish earlier in the day perhaps.
Then tomorrow I will be helping a mate clean her house for her guests arriving on the 8th.

Till next time!

Wow the last day of the year...

Time to leave 2008 behind.

In the beginning of this year I was broke depressed and feeling like my world was caving in. I was with Chris, the father of my three youngest children. He had no job and we had no money. I worked and was earning really good money yet we didn't even have food on Christmas day. I felt sorry for myself because I thought I loved Chris, and he was going through some shit in his life, so I thought that one day it would get better. He has four other children out there and never held a job long enough to support us let alone the other ones. I knew deep down that I didn't want to be with him, that I was allowing him to drag me down. I knew deep down that he would never stop cheating on me and lying to me and stealing from me. I allowed all this to happen. It wasn;t my FAULT but I allowed it to happen by taking him back last year under false pretences. I knew he was shit but yet I felt sorry for him.

Then I had a breakdown and walked out on my job. The best job that I'd ever had. I fought with my boss and walked out on her. Then I had the fortune to hear what the woman at Print Blocks had to say when she left a message for me on my phone. There was a job opening that I had been interested in, but it seems that my work ability and ethic was judged simply by my message bank message which was a little chipmonk thing just laughing...I did it for the kids because the girls were beginning to hav their friends call them, so we did it for kicks...however it wasn't good enough for madame Print Blocks...she failed to hang up the phone after leaving an abrupt "heidi it's_____ from Print Blocks returning your call. Call me on Monday" slam goes the phone BUT not properly, in the next breath I hear in a rather snobbish voice "Well I WON"T be emplyer her/ he he he , if she's the one responsible for that on her phone" I was DUMBFOUNDED. What a tool. We called them on Monday about it and spoke to her husband. He was very apologetic and offered me an interview time BWAHAHA yea right...as if I would want to work for some uptight woman with no sense of humour!! they didn't deserve me...their loss though, I AM a hard worker and could have been what they needed. Whatever I got over it.

I ended up back at my original job, but then in April I had a car accident. My poor Peugeot is a write off. Some f*ckwit in a van came onto my side of the road and wiped me out BUT because he failed to pay his insurance, and instead put a TURBO in the stupid van he had the money to make it my fault. I guess it was a case of not what you know but who. My father paid thousands to fight it but to no avail. The driver of the other car obviously gave good head and the prosecuting cop clearly did too, winking at the judge in front of me and all. I mean the other driver, the copper on the scene and the f*cktard witness all had rather elaborate and INCORRECT stories about it , NONE of which even closely matched, but yet it was all my fault? They can all get stuffed. Now I'm awaiting being sued...if they dare to.

So then after the accident I was in a very bad way. I couldn't work. I was taken t hospital with migraine, and I had two people smothering me. I was a total write off myself, again because I allowed it. At the time Lurlene was really good to me, but I was growing weary of it all. I was suicidal...then in May I busted Chris cheating on me again...no matter how hard he denies it...he was cheating. So I bashed him LOL. Well he wasn't understanding my words what else did I have? After being cheated on six times (that I know of!) he is lucky he still breathes!! Oh don't think I didn't have wild fantasies about stabbing him in his sleep! No, I am not generally violent but I do believe I inform people that if my toes are stepped on I will f*ck them up...I can't help it, it's just me and I'm not sorry for it. Lurlene taight me to "drink my cup of concrete and harden the f*ck up" and I did! Lucky I am smart enough to know the balance lol.

So after being on my own again for a while and just learning to find my feet, KNOWING that one day something good had to happen for my life in September I met the man of my dreams. I will never forget the way we looked at each other for the first time. It was truly a movie moment. Then he moved into Lurl and Sean's house to board downstairs. She brought him around for coffee and on the first day I so wanted to give him a hug...but I thought "meh, he is a biker, he won't want a hug" but then I thought No stuff it...it's who I am...I hug my friends So I pout my arms out and said "Oi, gimme a hug! it's what I do!" But not only did he hug me, but he planted the sweetest juiciest kiss on my lips. I was in heaven. I haven't been kissed like that in I don't even know how long!! more than ten years I know that much! lol. Ahhh it was sooooo yummy. After that I was smitten, and so was he. And we have been since. On Christmas day he asked me to marry him...and I said yes. I have never been in love this way before. I thought I had been happy, but now I know really I never have been...this is so different and it's so REAL! I know now I deserve to be happy, and I am so lucky to have found true love finally. And the best thing is?? He doesn't make me feel like I have any reason at all not to trust him. He takes really good care of us all, and he loves us as much as we love him.

Tonight we have the kids home so he is stayng here. He isn't going out with his mates to party...he is a family man and anything he does he wants me to be a part of snd the kids if they are able. I am just so unstressed! lol. I haven't been sick or sore and I haven't had headaches everyday...It's amazing what a bit of true happiness can do to one's health! I feel so good!

I hope you all have a wonderful night tonight. Stay safe and be well...remember, for every two alcoholic drinks you have, have a glass of water in between - hangovers are caused by dehydration - KEEP YOUR WATER UP!!!

Till next year! (lol) xxx

OMG!!!

well forget the photo of the ring that I posted earlier in the month... Australia Post lost the parcel!!! So instead Murray bought me this one...ain't it pretty?? REAL gold and 17 REAL diamonds...I am sooo happy!! He asked me to marry him, while he was on the phone to Jockey (Murray's best mate, one he considers a brother, and our kids call Uncle lol) on Christmas Day...so now we are officially engaged, Jockey will be best man and my very dear friend Liz hinted to me she looks good in red LOL...and OF COURSE I would have no one else as my best bridesmaid ('best bitch' LMAO!!)not sure when the big day will be, but it could yet be years!




I guess I should update from Monday...no rather Sunday eh? lol

So Sunday the kids' father comes to collect the kids to take them to the city at 10am. I told him we wouldn't be back til about 3pm from our ride. Then Jockey showed up and had a bit of a ride on his quad which we are *ahem* babysitting lol...then we were off... YAY! What an awesome day! We went with a couple of mates - Jockey, Clackers and Iain and his missus Belinda. We met up with another mate of theirs, at Redcliffe. We had an excellent lunch and I just love being on that bike!! Belinda wore a boob tube...got sunburnt of course! lol poor girl!
That night after we all parted ways on the road, Murray had a call from Jockey...he'd come off his brother's Harley. Some old coot had just driven straight into him! No indicators no nothing, just drifted across to turn left from the right lane!! Jockey is ok, but very very sore, and has a broken little toe. He did come over to our place yesterday though, we had a boxing day BBQ, here he is with his beautiful grandson, who also came with his mum and dad to BBQ with us lol...


The kids had a great day on Christmas day. It was about 6am, Murray asked me if the kids were up and only Jaana was... "that's not fair!!" says Murray and wakes the boys up like a maniac "GET UP GET UP!!! SANTA'S BEEN!!!" lol. He grabbed Trent from his bed and ran down the hallway with him, spinning around all excited lol. It was so great. Mika got himself a new pushy and cars, Trent got a remote control car and other cars, Jaana got a CD player and a couple of other little things and they all got a quad bike to share, which they actually got last week lol. Jaana has decided now she wants to do motocross lol. Muray said that was ok as long as she keeps it up just around our own property for a year, if she is still into it then next Christmas she will get a new bike !! He wants to be sure of her dedication first because it's very expensive lol.
I got Murray a heap of Jim Beam stuff including a spirit pourer - makes life easier once we've had a few LOL!!

a couple of pics to share (and yea I know, Jaana hasn't got a helmet on but this was when they first got the bike and were going VERY slow...the govener was screwed right in...now that Jaana is more confident the screw has been completely removed lol...she is a NUT! takes it sideways on the track that has been well worn into the back yard lol...they each have their own helmets now, good quality Australian standard ones. The one Trent has on is up to standard too but it's Murray's lol




this is murray's effort at trying to get a pic of me stuffing my face with food LOL!!!! ahhh the beauty of being on the same wavelength HAHA I knew what he was up to!! NER NER!! LMAO!


OK well I'm going to go browse some wedding sites. I have already started planning my dress - so far I know it will have to have a removable skirt so I can get on the bike LOL!!!

Till next time!! xxx

TORI AMOS

On Saturday 22nd of September my good friend Lexie (aka Lexhar) took me to see Tori Amos at the convention centre in Brisbane...OMFG this woman can perform!! I was just so amazed that she played the keyboard with one hand, the piano with the other and sung and danced at the same time. It was truly incredible and it has prompted me to buy her albums...thanks so very much Karen!!! Luv you chicky!!!





the pics are not great because my camera is old and sad but these pics should still spark the memory for us!

my bags are doing ok..there are a few watchers so I am confident they will sell!! YAY!!!

Just a quick note to say I have two bags that I made this morning on auction...

Take care readers...til next time!!

OMG I'm so excited!!

As many of my friends know I am a huge Marilyn Manson fan (betcha didn't pick it if you didn't already know eh?!) and I am going to his concert with Chris and my nephew on the 8th of October. We have seating tickets but that's ok...all I can think of is how I am going to be in the SAME ROOM AS THE MANSON!! I just can't stop my heart from racing everytime I think of it (which is every five minutes!! ROFL) I have friends who teased because I was sick the week the tix went on sale...which meant I could not work...hence no money for tix...but alas the tickets are not sold out! well the floor tickets are but not the seating ones... for $80 a ticket I could be standing at the front door for all I care! but I'm not I'll be seated...for a few minutes then I will be trying to get over the barrier ROFL!! watch me ruin my night by getting arrested :( sigh...what to do!? lol

I worked a full week this week, which is PERFECT! my hands are sore and my back aches but my bank account is sitting pretty!

I have a few things I HAVE to scrap today, mainly things for other people. and I have to get them packed up and ready for postage.

til next time...
here is one of favorite songs...at the moment anywayas...please be warned there are explicit lyrics here..
"Irresponsible Hate Anthem"

I am so all-american, I'll sell you suicide
I am totalitarian, I've got abortions in my eyes
I hate the hater, I'd rape the raper
I am the animal who will not be himself
fuck it

Hey victim, should I black your eyes again?
Hey victim,
You were the one who put the stick in my hand
I am the ism, my hate's a prism
let's jut kill everyone and let your god sort them out
fuck it

Everybody's someone else's nigger/I know you are so am I
I wasn't born with enough middle fingers/
I don't need to choose a side
I better, better, better, better not say this
better, better, better, better not tell
I hate the hater, I'd rape the raper
I am the idiot who will not be himself
fuck it

LOs to share

because I won't be scrapping during the week so I can really concentrate on mmy studies and assignments, I have been scrapping this weekend!

Here is one LO that I am really really proud of...



and this too...

more pics from NSW

What a trip!!

On Friday 17th August at 6am my girls and I left home for a trip to NSW! we swung by my mum's house to pick her up too - girls weekend away!!
We left South Bris at around 6.30 am, to begin our 10+ hour trip. I had told the girls NOT to ask 'are we there yet?" for at least 10 HOURS...they started it in .. now where was the first q? hmm I think it was around Ballina? which is only three hours into the trip! little brats but they did it to be funny I'm sure!
The scenery along the way was divine! Mum was in heaven driving past and over the rivers. She loves her fishing, my mum, so seeing any water will drift her off into fishing world! lol.
We only saw TWO police cars the WHOLE way there...amazingly.
Coming in to Bulahdelah I was just waiting to see the piano rock that's on Mt Tambourine...I swear the scenery was EXACTLY the same...what do you think? (for thiose who know Mt Tambo that is! ;) )


cool huh?!
We spent the Friday night at 'aunty' Lyn's (not a blood relative but awesome enough to call her aunty LOL) This is the scene through the wondow of the room that my girls and I were in...

Ahhh blissful. I always loved visiting Bill and Lyn when I was little. So very peaceful around that area. Lyn cooked a wonderful meal for us. We went to bed early because we still had the drive to Pam's the Saturday morning. Mum stayed with Lyn while I went with my girls to Gosford.

I was quite pleased with myself for not getting lost...till we got to..uh...well I'm not exactly sure where we were, but an excellently timed call from Pam and we were on our way (thanks Loz for the directions! lol) Then when we got closer to Pam's I had to call her for help. We were only one street away! YAY!! the party was about to really begin! lol. Pam gave me a beer to get me started, then another then it was off to take some cool pics near some awesome [yet odd] carved stones...

I won't post all the pics, but if anyone can tell me what this horse (below) is doing, please do so!! LMAO!!



Went back to Pam's via the bottle-o...then after that it's pretty much just a bunch of scrap buddies having an excellent time. Loz was amazing! 20 LOs she got done...I was sat next to her and was totally scared! Such an inspiration. Then I had Scrapwitch on the other side of me, who is equally intimidating in the arts department! needless to say I got NOTHING done except a couple of pages for my NSW album, and a LO of Jim Morrison...might have helped if I had photos with me! GRRR what a dick I am eh? had everything else bar the most important thing!!! idiot! lol

Crazymumm, Leababy, kata, scrapalot, webbgod, scrapwitch, and Lozcon...you all rock!!! it was amazing to meet you all, and I can't wait to hang out with you guys one day again! thanks so much for having me Pam. You are too too kind, and you have a beautiful family. We really enjoyed being there.


The above photo of me witch and our girls was taken on witch's camera...hope you don't mind me posting it here witch?!

The trip home was not too bad considering it POURED with rain all the way from Pam's to Pacific Palms, then from there to Ballina, after Ballina the rain was a bit lighter, but still rain!
Got home at ten thirty Monday night, and although we had a really wonderfully awesome weekend I have to admit it was good to be home!
I missed my boys...Pam's boys are so adorable, as are all the kidlets that I met ...

I hope one day I have a house big enough to accommodate interstate visitors!!

Some layouts to share

I was going to do the masters for Scrapbooking Memories but I didn't get around to finishing all the tasks because I got sick (yes, so sick I couldn't even scrap!!)










Enjoy! have a great week!

bla

Well, have I been busy? yes tremendously! I cleaned my bedroom on Wednesday. it took me 5 hours!! un-freakin-believable!! it was atrocious and I figured how am I supposed to get my girls to clean their rooms if I can't even keep my room clean! so now it is so clean and it's my favourite room in the house again for the moment LOL!! I took pics before and after and did a layout on it, but I haven't taken a pic of the layout yet. I printed the before pics in black and white...less shameful I think LOL.

I have been making cards more than anything lately, and making a couple of albums too. It was my aunt's seventieth birthday last week, so mum and I are sending her an album and a card I made. I told mum she could write in the card!! well, my Finnish isn't that great lol... I should put more effort into relearning the language I guess.

I wish I lived closer to my friend lynnie :( her hubby is away for work and well, she is a bit lonely through the week :( I know how she feels I just wish there was somefin I could do :( if you're reading this I'm thinking of you chicky!

I just added Scrapwitch's blog to my list...do check it out. it is sooo good her scrapping is gorgeous!!! Witchy - I will endeavour to send that layout to you this week sometime...I have a billion things to post out and yours is one of them! and lynnie too...luv you guys!

I went to get the girls their Nintendo DSs on Wednesday - little rats!! they were all over me like a rash at the shops when they realised what I was buying...ew!! lol.. j/k of course! but no, the convo went like this..I only asked one thing of them in return...

me : get off me!! (laugh) all I ask is that you do not fight with each other!!
jade: what about with you?
me : *rolleyes* well that's inevitable! we'll always fight!

ROFLMAO!! we all laughed. but they have been so good! and they know that they will get no warnings for having them confiscated...one little blowup and they will lose them for a day...but they are being good - and I am bummed because I wanna play with them too!! ROFL...

well I am really looking forward to going to NSW!!!! mum might be coming with me too because she is worried about me driving that long rive with just the girls. She will stay in Forster so I really don't know if I'll be carless for a couple of days or what... I think she said something about staying at Pam's for the first night or something too...I will have to ask Pam if that's ok first!! they neededn't worry though, my mum is really cool and not judgemental of anything or anyone :D and she isn't a stick in the mud or anything either...just wonder if it's ok with Pammy - I mean I feel bad enough as it is that I may be imposing on them...but I'm sure it'll be ok...Pammy is such a sweet soul, and I feel so happy to know her :)

anyways, I'm off to catch up on Scrapchat because I haven't been online for a few days !

Heids x

This week

Well I am still not 100%. I have been sick since last Wednesday with the flu. Though it isn't the snotty nosed watery eyes flu. It has wrecked me fully. I have, since last week till now had coughing attacks (dry coughs too that just annoy me more than anything!); pain all over my body; headache; joint aches; hot and cold sweats; vomiting (on the first day). I am so glad I can keep it in my mind that it CAN"T last for ever...it has to end sooner or later. I just really hate fact that I can't go to work! that pisses me off more than anything else, because I really hate to let people down, and my boss is such a good person in every aspect - she doesn't deserve this...but she is very supportive and says 'don't come in and give it to all of us!!" lol.. Although the three machinists (me and two others - there are only four of us all up!) all called in sick on Monday...Poor Bev :( She text me today asking if I was still alive! lol. I text here back bu then called her anyway - thought it would be more polite. I told her I should surely be ok by Monday. So now I'm hoping that I don't get worse again. I shouldn't ... surely??!! I'm so drained. I just wanna go to bed. Maybe I will soon.

It is my beautiful little nieces' birthday party this Saturday - Amy turned one in June and Saara will be 4 in July - a combined party is definitely easier methinks!. It's a dress up. Apparently I'm not allowed to dress up as a fairy though LMAO! I said I could be the toothless fairy HAHA!!! Mika is going to be Capt Jack Sparrow, Trent will be a cowboy, and my girls will be fairies - Jade reckons she will be a tooth fairy (hence my comment I mentioned earlier) . It will be fun. I just hope I'm not contagious!

well, anyways, I better get going. started to feel a bit tired again.
I will post pics from the party on Sunday.

Thanks for reading for those that do!! Cheers!!

perfect

well, this morning SUX. woke up to tell Chris that I don't think we can afford a huge house adn that we might have to get like a two bedroom or something for a couple of years so we can save up a deposit and he kinda huffed about it and got upset with me that I was talking about it at 5am...that's what I do! so then he goes out side for a ciggie and I go "I'm in charge of this household because I have a clue and you don't and if you don't like it fuck off" so then it ended up in a screaming match about he hasn't even looked for a fucken job since coming home from the states, but yet he was like "as soon as I get back to Oz I'm getting a job fuck this blablabla" yea whatever.
then he calls me a bitch and I call him a C and he gets offended?? ahhhh right ...then I say that i have made some stupid decisions in my life but taking him back is definitely one of them. I juat want my life to run smooth like it did before he moved back in. I honestly don't know what it is. I don't know if it's the fact that we never have money left over for things or what. I know it pisses me off the amount he smokes. I mean it's almost a pack a day and that's just stupid waste of money and health. Well He has told the lady down the shop that he isn't to be allowed to buy smokes as of Wednesday. Going cold turkey he reckons. I scoff. It won't happen. it never has before. hell I can't give up because I like it, but a pack of 25s lasts me three days at least. it's gonna be a fucked day unless we just stay away from each other - he has his racing I have my scrapping...

Tambo retreat

On the 20th of April this year I went to a scrapping retreat on Mt Tambourine with some of the members at Scrapbooking Memories forum. It was so much fun! We went on the Friday and it was over on Sunday - except I had to leave on the Saturday because Chris flew out to USA on the Sunday so we had to go see him off at the airport.

I got drunk within the first half hour I was there I think! I just couldn't wait to get acquainted with all these new beautiful people! I love them all!! I think I swore too much - will remember at the next retreat to not be such a potty mouth *SHAME!!*

here are some pics...
this is Binrow


This is Scrapmanda taking a pic of me - I do have a copy of the pic that Manda was taking of me at the time too LOL - yet to do a LO with them though...


These are the 'toys' we had to play with...


and this is the room where it all happened lol..


I cannot WAIT till the next one at Warana!! it is going to be soooo much fun!!

Please vist!

I know I wrote about this in my last post, but it may get skimmed over...

PLEASE COME VISIT SCRAPCHAT!! I have the link in my list of sites I frequent on ---> that side of the page ;) lol

Well, I thought it was about time I did some updating!

I am now a mod at a brand new forum called Scrapchat. It was started by a good friend of mine called Gypsyangel...us mods are all known as Gypsy's angels' and I reckon that rocks right there! lol I will add int he link after I finish this posting.

I have been working here and there which is fab.
Chris has moved back in which is totally awesome! The kids are so much hapier especially Jaana! Her grades have gone up since he came back...daddy's little girl - ain't it sweet!?

anyways, here is a LO I did this morning... am thinking of sending it in to a mag but I don't like my chances because the pics are blurred - I used an effect called 'Dad's old camera' to make them blurry, I love it!

Well, I thought it was about time I did some updating!

Wow, that was a short three months! (some swearing SORRY!!!)

OK, so Chris left us on the 22nd of April to go to America. A lotta bullshit went down, that I really don't want to get into because it's just SHIT (dumb american CRACK whore that TRIED to start shit anyway - SUCKER!!)... but anyways, instead of staying three months, he had his tickets brought forward and he is home with us where he should be. YAY!!! the kidsmissed him dearly, i missed him dearly and all he wanted to do from the minute he arrived there was come home to us! lol

I haven't had a lotta work lately - but just enough. It's good that I am learning a new style of coat too. My workmate refuses to do them, but If I learn (which I am excited to do!) then it will mean that my hours may just go up a fraction. I just hope I can make them quick enough AND neat enough. These coats are soooooo top of the range! No margin for error really, but I'm happy for the challenge. I can't wait to get a handle on the ropes properly - I'm still sewing with my Ls for Claybourn. TACC I can do with my eyes shut! lol but Claybourn are very different...and very HEAVY omg!! I'm going to have muscles in places that I didn't even know exisisted! lol.

I made a LO of the next retreat we are going on. I know I haven't even posted about the Tambo retreat yet...I will soon! lol... but I just wanted to share this first...
the beautiful Scrapmanda from SM forums has organised the next retreat at Warana..it is going to be soooo cool because this time I won't have to leave early!! The gorgeous gypsyangel organised the one at Mt Tamborine and I tell ya - I just felt so comfortable with everyone...I hope I didn't embarress anyone LOL




I am a moderator over at Scrapbooking Memories forum now. It is great! I get to delete spam and ban spammers!! muwahahaha...instead of reading the crap! I did have a person trying to make it hard for me at first - by telling me that this other member (all will be un-named - but if you happen to stumble across this - you may know who you are) would try to make it really hard for me...what a twat!? ah well, i hardly talk to her anymore and I can honestly say I'm glad. Yunno I thought i really liked this person - I really did - and who knows IRL we might get along if we ever meet...but online i think she is a bit of a stuck up lunatic TBH!

OH OH OH!!!! I got a new tattoo a week and a bit ago!!! I am so in love with it!! it cost $280 EEK!! but Chris paid half and my half I'd been tucking away bit by bit for yonks!! lol
here it is...


I guess I better post a LO I did in the last couple of weeks...haven't done much scrapping at all while Chris was away...


Ok, that's it from me today...till next time!

Happy Scrappin'!!
