27 January 2011 - life as it is







Ok yesterday we celebrated our 31st wedding aniversary, we are blessed with a fantasic marriage, we've survived the swings & roundabouts, dips & pits & had wonderful fun, extreeme pain & tons of love, laughter & partnership. I love Alan absolutely & hope to spend lots more years together.


Kylie (DD) had her car window shattered & her hand bag & laptop stolen. It was awful & we have done the new ID, new drivers license & am dealing with the car insurance etc. I have to admit to having to say lots of prayers and remember - forgiveness & love. She was parked right outside the bank !!!

I started going to a new Bible study on a Wednesday morning with a fantastic bunch of ladies, its fun & fellowship at its best & I am so enjoying it.
We had our first craft of 2011 on Tuesday evening & made cards, great fun & we spent lots of time catching up & being productive, its a group of about 30 women.

Steven turned 25 on the 21st of Jan(oh my gosh he's our baby.) & we went out for sushi with him on Sunday lunch time, as he had a party for his actual birthday night, went for his traditional birthday dive on the Saturday so he enjoyed. He can't believe he is "old" - his words but was ok when he realised his sister will be 30 this year LOL.

still more


more


layouts


A few layouts

a few layouts done while working at the laundry this weekend, we were reasonably quiet after a hectic two weeks & one of the ladies is on leave so for the next 2 weeks I am working. I also have 6 months of project 12 to do (yes 6 months) & I have done 2 except for the journalling so I am getting there.

I don't mind & I get to finish a lot of scrapping......lol. I actually leave all my tote etc in the cupboard & so only bring home finished layouts. I am enjoying the fact that I am now doing mostly done l/outs so I can put them in my album & actually move on.

The photos are not great, my DS dropped my camera into the sea whilst fishing & he has bought me a newer model, more features etc - well I am gratful but really loved my old camera. So have been loathe to use this one & decided to get on with it. I have got lots of work to do lol.

Well I am off to bed as it's an early start for me tomorrow.
