My Life is Brilliant

finally .... i blog!

honestly, every day i've been meaning to blog ... and then the day has gone, and i flake ... and another day rolls on!

Big major tonight tho ... finished my Christmas cards - i am so happy! i have been trying to do them all week, and obviously didn't get there ... so i bit the bullet tonight, and yay ... they are done. fingers crossed they arrive in NZ and overseas before Christmas .....

I will post a pic of my card, it turned out so cute ... it was one of heidi's ideas she gave us for the Y2R class (this card has a clear accetate top and the card is stapled underneath to show - i used basic grey paper too - which i am in love with) ... i only send Christmas cards to those people i cannot say "merry Christmas" to in person .... otherwise its such a major! so any of my local friends reading this, i will give you a hug and you will get a personal Christmas greeting!

i have just found the funniest website ... seriously you have to check this out ... its a crack up! a couple of friends sent me their version ... here is our one! they only had space for 4 (so heidi your family won't fit in! lol) http://www.elfyourself.com/?id=1419993090 so gary missed out! i may have to do a version just for him! LOL!
I know i have some creative stuff to share ... i just need to remember what i've done! that is the problem when you don't blog regularly enough! sigh! last week was our final art challenge for the Y2R class. This month we had to use a family photo (which was an event in itself trying to get) i used the self timer on my camera ... and we took about 100 photos before it started looking ok ... we also had to use some things that were at home, so the top right hand corner is a bow and star from a Christmas packaging from last year i'd been saving ... the sliver card was a scrap lying around ...

i have been so slack updating you with Daisy .. she is now 5mths old, and getting alot bigger. She's such a good puppy ... we are training her to do things, and she's catching on really well!

I took the girls to see Bee Movie tonight ... its so cute, and funny ... alot of things that went over their heads! i was laughing out loud! Gi was not really into it ... so i guess 3 was a little young. I savoured the frozen coke i had ... i just love frozen coke at the movies!

I must photograph our church this week too, they have done the church up in Christmas lights and won the Brisbane competition ... it looks amazing! will post photos later in the week!

Last weekend i was down the Gold Coast for my uncle's 40th birthday party. It was really fun ... and nice to have a night at a hotel by myself! gary bought the girls down the next day and we spent it at this cool lagoon which is part of the beach. It is right outside a fish shop, and they feed the pelicans every day at 1pm ... it was amazing being so close to these big birds, i took lots of photos of them! the girls were amazed!

the school holidays are so great. .. i am loving the change of pace and not having to live to time ... also being more spontaneous about dinner etc ...

so i have to go quickly do my Deck of Me card for this week ... as i still haven't done it. The prompt is "time flies" which is totally relevant considering how fast this week has gone ... and how quickly Christmas is coming! so i'll be right back ....

ok i'm back ... here is my card ... i have been using this cool Christmas paper all week ... so had to keep going with it!
