Tagged

Thanks Melanie and Teina! I thought you liked me???

Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog!
1. I am a mother of three lovely children..I keep telling myself that...no it's true!
2. I was once a smoker but gave up many, many years ago..phew..it is so expensive!
3. I am married to Simon and have been for 23 years at the end of June!
4. I used to be the Chief Pavilion Steward for our Local Show! (Fascinating isn't it???)
5. I have a morbid fear of snakes.
6. I met the love of my life at the pub! LOL
7. I am a 'Garfield' lover! He is my classroom mascot!

Now I am sure everyone has been tagged but if not..go for it!

Have You Heard???

There is a new BLOG and I have been invited to be the first Guest DT Member! I was so shocked and pleased...I am delighted and hope you like my efforts.
This is a great BLOG and truly inspirational. I really prefer this to a newsletter as little bits get added every now and then and it is always a surprise!

Introducing Ding!



This is our new adopted puppy...Ding! Very much the active pup who has totally put Princess Chaunsee's nose out of joint! LOL Here she is having a cuddle and a chat with Ben.

The Hunt




Here are the children having fun with the hunt. Don't you love the ugg boots Ellen wore? So chic with the dress but serviceable! I love the fact that they still love to do this.

Relaxing



This is Princess chaunsee and Ellen relaxing in front of the TV early this morning. We got Austar just before Easter and so the TV has been on and so have the fights!!!! She is such a funny cat but is feeling a little put out by a new family member. Ding! I will introduce her soon.
I think she needed a little TLC but she must have been uncomfortable.

Holidays


I love holidays! I have been really pleased to be able to do some scrapping after such a long time! I am also aiming to use some older photos and old things from my stash! Thanks to Julie for the pattern for this Library Pocket. It was a lot of fun to make and I intend to do more as it helps to use up some of these types of photos and make them special.
Thank you to the ladies who have benn commenting I will try to get back to my Blog more regularly.

I know I need to update more often!


I promise I will try...it helps to have my password info back! This is another of my favourite photos..one from Christmas when we were all having a stir of the pudding and adding the money. Look how much Ben has grown..I suspect he might have been stretching a little but not much as he is the tallest in the family now..not that it would take much! Amanda isn't impressed being the oldest yet the shortest! LOL
OK update...Amanda actually just turned 20 at the end of March and is at Uni studying..wait for it...education(I told her not to), Ellen turned 17 September and hasn't got her licence yet..not even her learner's, just not ready..which is fine by me. Ben turns 16 this May and is in Year 11 and he thought he should have been given a driving licence at age 12 because he could drive! He has already pretty much learnt the Learner's manual so I think it will be a case of 16 1/2 and do the test! And Simon and I are just simply getting older...well just a little bit!

Happy Easter


I hope everyone had a terrific Easter. Here we are on Easter Sunday morning. Lots of people get a shock to see how Ben has grown...I still do!
Simon and I are very fortunate to have such lovely children..we sometimes have to keep telling ourselves to believe it that but generally it is true...no it is! They love being together as a family and treasure our time as much as Simon and i do with them.

A quick photo to show you ..this was a spider in our garden that Ben snapped and I think is a fabulous photo!
