More layouts - hubby is away.

DH is on business & I am scrapping.

The kids decided to come over & bring me dinner - how great (cooked in my kitchen so theirs did not get messy LOl.) & I scrapped. They caught up on their tv programs (they don't have dstv !) It was a win win all the way round.

Excuse the reflections but I wanted my SIL to see I am finishing off the Senz lay outs even 6 months later.

Scrapping Sunday

So today it's been good as I have made a card for DH's uncles birthday, in the post already wow ! You can see the use my dining room table is put to today.

Then decided to finish two layouts started at Senz 2009 in Auckland & I was really pleased with the results. Got another couple to go & actually enjoying them, I think because most of the work has been done .......

Sleepless nights

Its 11.35pm & I can't sleep......my DH is watching a rerun of Hunt for the Red October, I am not a movie person.
I was thinking of how much we are learning to spend together again on our own. After being a big family of 5 plus friends always.

We sit at the table for dinner.......set just for two.
We have coffee together after work at about 5ish & catch up on our day, no tv or noise on just us.
We have tea & coffee in bed every morning early while the day starts breaking & the birds wake up.
We swim early evening no noise & splashing & craziness just peace & quiet.
The best part of all this is we are so enjoying our quiet times at first it drove me crazy but now its great.
We still miss our children & enjoy their visits tremendously but its great to have our house to ourselves........

Happy Birthday Jenny in New Zealand

A very Happy Birthday to Jenny somewhere between Keri Keri and Auckland and en route to Wellington New Zealand.

Jenny is a family member & really great friend . Bonus to have such a super SIL.

Have a super day & enjoy, hope you are treated like a queen for your special day.

Going up.....

A glimpse of the country club, sea & Marks favourite toys - a helicopter.

Durban from Moses Madhiba Stadium .

Mark & Maddie & friends went off & did the tour, they were really impressed by the staff who were friendy & efficient & the views of Durban. It was a clear day & they said the views were awesome.
You can walk up for R80 each or go up in the glass car at R50 each they opted to ride up.
Alan & I are going to do it too except for the fact that DH put his back out yesterday & is laid up in bed - not a happy chappy but yay for medication.
Mark left for Joburg today & as much as I am sad for him to go back, I am also glad to have some peace & quiet in the house too - because Mark has been home we have all the chldren home plus the normal friends plus the new ones & its great but I never thought I would say it "its great when thy leave too" wow I certainly have come a long way in a few months. He did help me take the Christmas tree down & all the decorations & ornaments, so thats over & done with too.
Photos to follow blogger is being difficult....

Christmas layout

This one was my gift from Maddie ( Mark's girlfriend) which is lovely unfortunately the light was not great. Photo was taken in 2008.

The first one is my first Christmas 2009 layout & I have had such a nice lazy afternoon doing it. I did the basics in a scrapathon with Tracey Schimper - its her design.
