carnival festivities ....

what a huge day yesterday was .... the girls were so excited, and couldn't stop talking about the school carnival all weekend. They did some jobs on saturday to earn some money to spend at the carnival ... it was great to see their enthusiasm!

They both did dances with their classes through out the day.

I had been working with a group of girls to contribute to the "Gift Shop" which was a concept dreamed up with Sonya ... once classy lady, who didn't want to see the normal "nana" crafts at our carnival ... instead some class and style. She totally outdid herself, making our stall spectacular ... with a white picket fence and gorgeous trees out the front. We were so busy ... i was wiped out last night ... it was such a fun day! I found it hard to get to sleep last night dreaming up ideas for the next time ....

i have a few pics from yesterday ... i caught gary shopping at our Gift Shop ...

there was heaps of rides and games for the kids ... emra did everything (just about, they forgot to do create a cupcake .. which was a shame as that looked so cool ... i wanted to do one - LOL)

Gianna loved the jumping castle .. isn't this photo so funny!
and i caught Emra on the ferris wheel .... she loved that.
Katya's class did the Shrek dance for their performance ... so cute, with their ears on!











gary caught Monique and I hoovering fairy floss ... what is it about fairy floss! Monique was one of the team on the Gift Shop ... she made heaps of stunning jewellery ... she is a gemologist by trade so is super clever ... makes amazing jewellery! and shes so much fuN!

we were all in bed early last night ....

DECK OF ME ... week 24!

This weeks prompt is .... Remember when ....

mum sent me this photo recently ... she has had it in a frame beside her bed for as long as i can remember .... it is a photo of me and my siblings ... at our family beach house! don't you love my hair! oh, photos capture it all hey! note .... more of the cool ribbon i got ... and some of heidi's cute ribbon too!
