hope that you all had a great australia day.
we did the very aussie thing of some gardening and mowing the lawn then had lamb chops for dinner.
yesterday we had a garage sale. despite advertising that we didn't want anyone here before 8 a.m. there was a couple literally waiting at the garage door when we put it up at 6 a.m.
and they weren't very polite either about us not being set up.
so we made them wait and they paced up and down at the end of the driveway until about 7.15 when we put the last of the things out.
and what were they so anxious to buy...???
ASOLUTELY BLOODY NOTHING!!!!!!!
but all in all jake, kait and i had a great day (mark and matt were away) and what we didn't sell will be donated to charity or we will make a trip to the local tender centre.
we made about $80.00 after costs
i didn't sleep very well last night as mark was at a conference on the gold coast with matt. i never sleep well when mark is away. didn't help either that a change came through about 10 p.m. and the wind was blowing like there was no tomorrow. i am always worried when it is really windy like it was last night about the gums around the house throwing a branch but all was well when i woke up this morning - except for the millions of leaves and strips of bark all around the house.
i eventually fell asleep about 3 a.m. and was awake again by 6.30.
so a nanny nap was on the cards this afternoon, which i had while kait was away playing at a friend's house.
mark is home now so hopefully i will get some decent sleep tonight.
i managed to get a little bit of scrapping done today. just some calendars i have to finish and the last of the cards for the monochromatic swap i am hosting over at EMM.
EMM also had a cyber crop this weekend
(one day i will get organised enough to do one)
one of the challenges was do scrap a white monochromatic layout.
go to the EMM gallery and have a look at some of the layouts that the girls have done.
they really are just stunning...!!!
off to watch the tennis now.
i am hoping gonzales will win although i do like federer too.
have a great week and remember.....

p.s. don't you just LOVE the kenny rogers song i have playing.
it makes me smile whenever i hear it playing.
mark often says to me that i always underestimate how special i am and how much i mean to him and the kids.
i'm not saying i am beautiful (i am not THAT deluded) but i do underestimate what i mean to my family.

Evening Shazz,
Just thought I would touch base with you and you most definatly can add me to your blog. I am new to this whole deal and think it is wonderful to keep up to date with everyone.... Looking forward hearing from you soon.

LOL about garage sales. It's always the way. I haven't heard of any garage sale that's not started by 6am due to the arrival of earlybirds. $80 is better than a kick in the pants, hey!
I never sleep well the first night that Phil's away either. Hope you're not too tired.
At least you made SOME money, I guess it's better than nothing hey! But 6am...eek, I'm still snoring my head off at that hour lol.
Hi Shazzie - I have missed you!!! Hope you are doing okay, sounds like things are good for you right now :o) Always love to see/hear your news gorgeous - catch up again soon :o)
Love Karen xoxo
