Busy week


Phew, I feel a wee bit tired after a bit of a full week. Fun though!!

First up was this major event -

My biggest baby is 19!! I spent most of Tuesday wandering the shops wondering what to get him for his birthday. I settled on Mario cart for the Wii from his brother and sister- huge hit - a good family getting together game. It was so nice to come home on Wednesday after Henry'; tennis and hear Matt and Meaghan chatting away while they were playing. Geoff and I are going to help him with some of his travel costs - mainly a rail pass around Europe.

I have used the latest sketch from Sketchy Thursday.
And my prize for winning My Fav things a while ago arrived (we miss you!!) . I got to choose some things from Noel Mignon (so much to choose from, I spent many happy hours viewing on this site) and ended up with the Neighbourhood collection from Crate Paper (ahh feeding my addiction..) and the Manila pack from Basic Grey as well as buying a couple of extra things - how could I not?? So I had a bit of fun playing with my new supplies on this Lo.

Then on Friday we headed down to dad's 80th birthday party - a 900 k round trip over three days. Photoshop is playing up at the moment and I'm too tired to fuss too much so will have photo's tomorrow. It was a very good night!

Now we can concentrate on getting Matt organised fro his big trip - if you see a long haired lad wandering around Europe holding a map - more than likely upside down - please be nice and show him to the nearest train station..

have a great night and hope GFC versionII doesn't bite too hard...
