To Blog or not to Blog


It has been so long since I have blogged, more than a month. I have been thinking, to blog or not to blog, as no one seems to leave comments I am thinking that this blog is just for me, so therefore I really do not need to update as much as I used to, just when I feel like it.

So the time has come again that I feel upto blogging some of my thoughts and what i have been doing. The Last weekend in April I went to a Scrapbooking retreat in Tassie with Sally's Shop. The weekend didn't start off to well as I was leaving on the 6.50am flight Friday morning. After checking in my luggage I suddenly remembered I didn't have my camera with me, and then I was panicked, did I leave it at the bus stop in the Long Term car park, so going through in my mind what I placed on the ground, no not there, so hoping that it is in the car and will still be there when I get back. Having visions of my car window being smashed and the camera gone when I get back.

Arrive in Tassie at 8.00am, Marica was waiting to pick me up at the airport, as her sister and brother were on the same flight. After dropping them off at her dad’s place and having a cuppa, we headed into Hobart, for me to do some sightseeing with no camera. I get a phone call from Kylie just seeing how I was and what I was upto, then she said “ See if you can find POLLY’ SHOES, there is a shop in Hobart”. So I hang up and go window shopping and I am admiring these shoes, I look up and guess what YEP Its Pollys Shoes. I ring Kylie back and tell her I found it. She warned me to take a deep breath before I go in there, they have the most devine shoes and handbags (also very expensive). I went in and had a look very BEAUTIFUL TREASURES, but well out of my budget. I leave the shop and do some more window shopping , a couple of doors up I see some more shoes and go into have a look, it is a clearance centre for Polly’s shoes and Miss M handbags. I was very good and only walked out with one bag (rrp $90.00) I paid 10 bucks, what a bargain. I love a good bargain.



Next thing am in Target and get a phone call from Mum (she is looking after Ryder) He is very, very sick with Croup and as it is contagious to cut a long story short I had to change my flights and leave Saturday to come home. So I got to spend just over a day at the Retreat. But I had a ball anyway, Kylie taught a class which was fantastic here is my layout from the class. The meals and accomadation and company were 5 star can’t wait to come back next year Sally.

I worked on my A to Z album of the melbourne zoo







Sunday 30th April

After coming home Saturday night and picking up Ryder from mum’s (he was a very sick boy). I wake up this morning very sick with head full of sinuses, so the two of us spend the next two days either in bed or in the lounge room trying to get over our sicknesses.
It has taken a couple of weeks and we are still not 100%.

Friday 12th May

Trish has her first crop night in Melton, was a great night to catch up and get some scrapping done, even with all the excitement (lol) I got 5 LO done.
