Christmas in Lethbridge

Well after watching many Christmas shows with snowmen in it, Nicholas, Jamie and I decided it would be fun to build our own - from sand. The kids got a real kick out of it and since I don't think we'll ever get enough snow to do one, this is the next best thing!

Kalari Christmas Party!

On Saturday we attended the Kalari Christmas Party held this year at Werribee Zoo. Apart from a bit of rain it was a great day, the kids certainly enjoyed it, especially the safari bus tour. A photo of Matt, Chloe, Nicholas, Jordja and Jamie on the safari bus and one of the gorgeous little meerkats that Chloe just loved! The day ended with a visit from Santa, though unfortunately Miss. Chloe fell asleep waiting for her gift!

More Christmas Gifts...

Here are a couple more christmas gifts I've been busy making...the first is for my dear neighbour, a KaiserCraft 'Beyond the Page' hobby tray. Making Memories paint in 'Spotlight,' Bazzil cardstock and Scenic Route 'Ashville Scrap Strip 1' paper. Also decorated with Blueyedezines flowers and (my favourite!) Kaiserscrapbook pearls. The second is a gift for Nicholas' kinder teacher Jas, a KaiserCraft 'Beyond the Page' handbag. Making Memories paint in 'Rose Petal,' KaiserCraft paper, KaiserCraft wooden letter 'J', Blueyedezines flowers, Celebrate pink ribbon and Kaiserscrapbook pearls...

My Christmas Angel...

Couldn't resist sharing these photo's of my gorgeous little christmas angel...

Big News!

Some exciting news to share - Matt has officially been promoted to 'National Workshop Co-Ordinator' for Kalari Transport. I'm so proud of him to be given such a big role in the company at such a young age - well done lovie!! (And now I don't have to keep it a secret any longer!!)

Sunday Shopping!

Been a bit quiet as of late but had a fantastic day on Sunday - spent all day shopping at DFO Essendon with my bestie Belinda and my dear girlfriends Kylie and Cindy. Was armed with money I had already been given as an early Chrissie present so managed to come home with a few bags and some chrissie gifts as well. Four very tired, but all very happy, women at the end of the day! Thanks girls for a great day!!

A Christmas Gift...

Decorated this wooden stationary organiser as a Christmas gift for Nicholas' kinder teacher, Lyn - just the loveliest lady! Used Cosmo Cricket Be Good Favourite Things paper onto a CI Bare Elements Yvonnie Wood Organiser. Painted the holders with MM Funky Vintage 'Sea Foam' and the base with MM 'Cranberry.' Cut out chipboard lettering - also painted with 'Cranberry' and finished off with a couple of floral embellishments from Blueyedezines Paper Flowers! I figured Lyn deserved something really nice as she will also be teaching Jamie next year so she'll definately have her hands full then!!

Bring on Summer!

Couldn't resist sharing these photo's of Miss Chloe out and about enjoying the beautiful warm weather we had over the last few days. Also one of the boys with their brand new motorbike riding tops that they can wear when riding with Matt- they were so excited to get them and it was a bit of a struggle to get Jamie to part with his so I could wash it!!

Geelong Show

Last Friday night saw the Jury's at the Geelong Show to support Matt and the rest of the Lethbridge CFA compete in the 'Bale of Straw' competition. The Clark's and the Parker's also came along to show their support - it must have worked as Lethbridge came 1st!! Well done!! Some pics from the show, Jamie and Nicholas playing the clowns, Nicholas on the train ride and Matt and Nicholas in the dodgems. The night finished with some awesome fireworks (Nicholas is still talking about it!)

'Stampin' Up' Class

Well I lucky enough to join Trish and some lovely ladies last Saturday for a Stampin' Up Christmas Card Making class. Had an absolute ball!! The time just flew by. After dinner with the Clarks, Trish and I retreated to her studio to indulge in a bit of scrapbooking (of course!) Here are the results of my card making with my two favourites!

Hello from the Jury's!

Just testing...finally succumbed and have joined the wonderful world of blogging!! Will be back soon with more interesting stuff to chat about!!
