My Life is Brilliant

First Communion ...

Yesterday Em made her First Communion. They have been doing their classes all year on Wedndesday nights in preparation and learning all about the sacrement. Mary who organises it does a fabulous job ... she really made it a wonderful ceremony the way she prepared the children. It was a lovely service, we were so proud of her. She wore the little veil i wore on my First Communion and the medal my mother wore on her First Communion ... so special!

(I got some gorgeous photos of her ... i am excited to make a little mini album for her. Now i feel inspired again ... after such a busy few weeks, i am ready to get creative again! so tomorrow ... i am into it!)

They had a cake for them afterwards of course they loved ... we would usually have a celebration at home afterwards, however the girl had their school carnival yesterday also, so we had to race off up there. They danced with their classes and also their dance school did a performance. It was a fun day, a busy fun day ... i was exhausted last night!

So much so ... i let the girls stay home today! (gasp .... ) i just really needed to have a cup of tea in bed, read a magazine ... have a relaxing start to the day .. clean the house ... (which they were inlisted to help with ... that was part of the deal! lol) so i am so happy, i love a clean house ... and i loved that i had a day with them ... i feel like we have not had alot of quality time together lately! I have had a REALLY productive day actually ... i even planted some more seedlings in my vege garden! So now i am having to patrol ... due to the scrub turkey situation! We are getting the gate fixed as i think i need Daisy's help around the back there ... as a deterant!!!!!

I had a big chat with one of my dearest friends today ... it just totally made my day, and filled me up! i miss her so much ... it was great to connect. makes me realise how much energy my best friends give me!

We are celebrating Emra's First Communion tomorrow night, so i am looking forward to that (so is she!) Mum and Dad sent a gorgeous photo frame which arrived today, so i will get some photos printed tomorrow to fill it for her!

This is our entry for the cake box decorating competition for the school carnival, we got a runners up prize of lollies ...

So excited about the new ENJOY JEWELLERY website that is up now (we still have a few things to tweek on it) but my s-i-l Lisa has done an amazing job - thanks Lisa! you Rock! I am going to give away another necklace in celebration of the new website, go have a look and leave me a comment to be in to win! I will draw it next Monday!

ok ... i want to get up for a run in the morning ... i was battling sickness last week, so haven't done anything in a while, makes it even harder getting up!

Promise i will post again soon ... i feel like i can breath again! yay!
