My Birthday and the berwick Show

Yesterday I got another year older and had a fantastic day. I got to sleep in until 10.00 it was pure bliss. I was very spoilt in the pressie department Craig and the kids got me a pair of ear rings and a 500 lens for my camera (which i LOVEEEEEE), the best friend a girl could ever ask for Jen gave me a $50 cotton on voucher and the coolest embellishment storage container we went there in the afternoon for birthday pancakes, Karen gave me a $40 coles myer voucher and desert at Moods with Olivia and Kelsey thanks Karen you are the best, Row gave me the most stunning flowers, Chocolates from Di going to mum and dads tonight for birthday dinner. Last night we went to the Berwick show thought there would be fire works but they were cancelled due to all the problems with the bush fires. We had such a fun time at the show the kids went on a couple of rides and I gave my new lens a working out (have to get some tips of Nic). Overall I had a wonderful birthday the years pass by to quickly when you get older..

Saturday I went to see Jenni as it was her sons Adams 5th birthday the kids enjoyed ice-cream cake I played around with Jenni's new 50mm lens OMG can't wait to get mine this weekend it's sitting there on my bench as a tease for me can't open it until Saturday.
Sunday went to the Trash and Tresure market at Olivias school and then went to see Suz in hospital via a scrapbooking shop that had 20% off but the worse thing was Jenni and I struggled to spend $20.00 the good thing is Suz looked really well and should be out of hospital soon.
I have been doing lots of walking with Karen 3 nights a week we have been doing over 8000 steps and running up and down a stairs in the chase.
On the scrapping front I have lots of projects to do Rusty Pickle Brass Knuckles, Chocolate covered Cherries and 3 Bugs Boy range I also have some very special classes coming up so I will be showing sneak peaks really soon

First Day back at School and Bridge Blub

Today was Olivia's first day back at school, she was so excited as she can now play on the big playground and the other bonus is her teachers. The only problem with the day was Riley he missed Olivia all he wanted was her he even cried when she went this morning all he kept asking was when are we getting Eia (Olivia)..

I also had bridge club today with Jen, Suz, Nic,Mel and all the younger kids it was great to hear all about CHA from Suz and look at all of the new goodies to hit our stores the new trimmer and circle cutter are a must haver.

After the girls left I went to pick up Olivia much to Riley's excitement, Olivia had a wounderful day at school and really loves her teachers what else could I ask for.
