Another Great Weekend

Hello Everyone,
I hope everyone has had a weekend as relaxing and rewarding as mine. Before I go on, I just have to show you the following link. I found this lady's blog through the Scrapbooks and More website, and I was incredibly moved by an entry she made on Feb 16 about a lady she knew with cancer. THIS is why we scrapbook people.....

This lady has some amazing scrapbooking work in addition, that I have been admiring. Check out this paint tin!!

My own weekend was again, so short. On Friday afternoon, we went and got some more plants (I havent yet planted though). I have two new ones next to the front door. - Total cost: $42 what a bargain!(see below - very funky!)
Yesterday morning Chelsea and I went to dancing. She was just perfect in every way... I am so proud of her. I took the camera along and got some video of her dancing, as well as some like the one above. When we got home, William and I went into Ipswich to a Renovation Salvage yard. They had some amazing stuff there. God I could have gone wild if we had the money. Hopefully one day when we get the deck I can get a huge pair of cedar french doors. mmmmmm.... (drooling) LOL.

Yesterday afternoon I had to do the weekly clean of the house and then started early cooking lasagne and roast lamb. Dinner with the family this week was at our house. I love Saturday nights. The whole family gets together at either Mum&Dads, or Aimee's or our house. We all eat and laugh and watch videos and chat about everything. The boys go down the shed or out in the yard to look at whatever it is that they look at, and the girls all sit inside chatting, gossiping and laughing at my showoff daughter!! I am so glad our family is so close. I really feel alot closer to Aimee as well - more so than I ever have before. I guess as you get older, three years age difference is really nothing. Mum and I are going to the craft show in Brisbane in April - can't wait. Hopefully next year for mums birthday, Aimee and I will take her to Sydney to tour all of the country and craft stores they have down there, as well as to see all of the old sites, which I am sure have now changed. Mum will be 50! next year. She is still so youthful, and doesn't act 50 (or look it for that matter!).

This morning Chelsea and I went to the flea markets. I ran into Julie, Jessica and Dale there, who are going to DISNEYLAND in about 6 weeks!!! LUCKY LUCKY LUCKY!!!! They are then touring around America for around 3 weeks and then stopping in New Zealand for a few days on the way home. I hope they have a ball - can't wait to see the photos.

I got Chelsea this beautiful patchwork wallhanging with a little ballet bear on it. It is hanging up in her room and is so cute!! Will post a photo this week. I also stopped at some other shops on the way home and got another set of shelves for my 12x12 scrapbooking cardstock - excellent. I am still trying to persuade William to build in under the stairs to make my own little scrap nook. (He rolls his eyes whenever I mention it) LOL. When we got home, William's mum and David were here. David and William made another nest box for the chooks so the three little ones have somewhere to go when they start laying. They took some posts out around the yard and stuff as well.

Chelsea is obsessed with this toy cash register I bought for her today. It is so cute to see her FINALLY playing with her toys alone.

I also finally got stuck into painting the main bathroom on Friday night. I have only done one coat so far, but it looks really good. (got to bed at 2am on Saturday morning though!) Must go now, (after posting one or two more special photos that is). Enjoy the coming week, hugs, susan
