how cold is it....?????
and i LOVE IT.
loved waking up to hear rain on the pavers this morning; loved re-stoking the fire to warm up the house; loved vege-ing out in front of the telly this morning with mark watching some of the telly shows we have taped in the past week; loved cooking toasted sandies for everyone for lunch (not real keen on the idea that i got stuck with the dishes though)
YEP!!!
i unashamedly, 100%, totally LOVE winter.
thank you to everyone who passed on their good wishes regarding my health. i am feeling much better and aside from my normal cycle of insomnia at the moment i am feeling better and i actually got out and walked every morning this week.
i will admit i do need to get a full check-up but i need to feel comfortable with the gp i choose to see and who i choose to care for our family.
thanks again girls....you truly are the best.
not much to report on the scrapping front - a lo i have to add some finishing touches to before i post it as the inspiration for this week at tca.
i am trying desperately to get organised for the scrap heaps's SWIG next weekend. i am so looking forward to hanging out with my gal pals, ruthy and diana and not to mention all of the other ladies that hang out at the heap.
i don't imagine we will have a balanced weekend of scrapping and chatting. i think the chatting will far outweigh the scrapping but hey....that's what it's all about.
mark and jake have headed up to carrara to watch our local all-stars football (soccer) team take on the qld all-stars. the game is the curtain raiser to the sydney fc vs qld roar game. i contemplated going but the call of the scrapping dungeon was too strong.
i sent flowers to our dear friends, kel and janelle yesterday in rememberance of their daughter, kristy lee.
kristy lee was taken from us in accident on july 17, 2003.
not a day goes by that i don't think of her, nor of janelle and kel and the effect that tragic night had their lives.
i remember with all-too-vivid detail the dark dark moments of those days after her accident and i wonder how we ever managed to survive such a tragic event.
but survive we did and as i said to janelle last night, some days it is just a case of putting one foot in front of the other without thinking about it and moving forward.
i can't even begin to imagine the pain and sorrow that janelle, as a mother must feel - she not only lost a daughter but a friend, a confidante and the light of her life. because i know what a lasting and profound impact kristy's death has had on myself, on mark and on our children.
kristy was by no means a saint....she was a typical rebellious teenager that caused her mother and father no end of grief but she had grown into a beautiful young woman, finally got her act together and life was finally good for her.
to be taken in such tragic circumstances was almost unbelieveable and even today i find it hard to believe that such a shining light has gone from our midst.
she will forever more be the gorgeous and beautiful young woman that she had grown into.
our darling angel girl.

Hi Shazz, glad to hear you're feeling a little better. Hopefully I'll be able to drop in next weekend and say hello at SWIG, would love to finally meet you!
Hey Shazz!!! You can keep the cold babe!! I hate it when my toes and nose get cold and I can't warm them up!!!
Love all your work lately!!! Absolutely gorgeous babe!!!! Keep em coming!!
Have fun at your SWIG!!!!! I'm sure you definitely will!! Might be just what the doctor ordered!!!!
Sorry to hear about your friend, definitely every mothers worst nightmare!!
Hugs to you!!!!!

Hi Shazz. Thanks for popping into my blog. Just checking your one out here and see you have a son around the same age as mine who is 17, he'll be 18 next April.
Cool layouts too, I would love to have taken Karens class but the times didn't work out well here in NZ.
Oh dear Shazz you've got me crying reading your post/s (yes I haven't done the rounds for a week or so)
Lives are so precious and reading about your friends daughter couldn't reinforce it anymore. Can't imagine what it would be like to loose a child (though sometimes I feel we have come close to it especially of late) To me each step of life is preceeded by a prayer, no matter the outcome.
I hope your feeling better too. I think the swig is just what the doc would have ordered! And I know you love winter but I hope Margate is a bit warmer than it is here in Warwick ATM!
See you soon matey!
