EASTER ESCAPADES

we had a very enjoyable easter weekend.
the long-eared, fluffy tailed fellow hopped our way and left some goodies;
we had a meal with mark's parents last night (won't even venture down "that" path of woe and disbelief) along with mark's brother and his family (thanks geoff and di for helping us get through the night);
helped a friend celebrate her 40th on saturday night -
"SURPRISE KIM"
- and boy....was she ever;
sewed some of these little fellas up as easter gifts - just SO cute and i actually made up my own pattern for them by just looking at the picture so i was pretty chuffed with myself;
braved the crowds on saturday morning with kait and mark to buy mark some new work pants and grab some supplies for the meal with his parents;
and i even managed to fit in some scrapping.

here are the two LOs i completed today.

gotta love the wacky sense of humour that this gorgeous boy has.

a simple LO of our gorgeous girl.

i am now officially halfway through my non-shopping 20 LO challenge to myself and embarrassingly my stash doesn't even have a dent in it, so i might be starting another non-shopping challenge when i have finished this one.
i have to make a start on my EMMie entries for this month pretty soon too i guess.
i have to decide on which retreat pics to use for my OTP mini album plus get the challenge packs paid for so rondelle can pop them in the mail for me.

and two reasons for celebration...
1. jake gets his braces off tomorrow morning after two whole years. i have been so proud of the way he has coped with having them on and the prodding and poking and pain he has endured along the way.
2. a very happy birthday to my dad for yesterday.
i can't wait to see him (and nanny) next week when they come up.
love you daddsie xxoo

so......whatever you did on the weekend and wherever the universe took you, i hope that you had a good one.

remember to look for the things in your life that make you smile
~~ and remember, let those you love, know that you do ~~
