What a great day!!

Today has been a great day!!


First of all, I have to move my scrap club for December to the last week of November, which makes it the 25th of November. Why? You ask.......


Because I am going on a scrapping retreat that weekend. After all the weekend tournaments my DH has gone to this year, he didnt even bat an eyelid when I said I wanted to go and needed to go. I laid the deposit down today and I cant wait. The retreat is being run by Scrappidoo Scrapbooking shop at Mapleton on the 1,2 and 3 of December for only $180. I am so excited after talking to the lady today.


I got my DD's layby out today for her birthday on Saturday, and I got some christmas pressies on layby for the kids. They are getting some really cool stuff for christmas let me tell you. Makes me wish I was a kid and had me for a mum at the moment LOL.


DD's phone has died so I got myself a new mobile and she gets mine. My new phone has a 3 mega pixel camera in it so that makes for a portable camera that takes pretty good snaps. It also has usb connection so I can hook it up to the computer and upload photos and apparently its an mp3 player as well. I just have to learn how to do this although with DD around I am sure I will learn pretty quick!!


I went to my LSS shop today, and you wouldnt believe what was there...... yes thats right my cricut was there!!! How exciting is that!!! I have it home now as it was all paid off except for the extra font. Now I am looking at the box and wanting to open it. This is my christmas pressie from my family. I keep thinking well I can open the cricut and play and use it and the fonts can come from my kids for christmas. Does that sound reasonable??? It does to me!


This is the first day of my weekend as I have to work Saturday and Sunday all day both days. Just loving the time and a half for 8 hours on Sunday. The Sunday pay this weekend will be my spending money at retreat as they said they have a lot of stuff just come in from the states just in time to showcase them at retreat. She was also saying that amongst the goodies in our bags will be an album. So now my excitement is almost bursting from me. Finally things seem to be cruising along really nicely with laybys on for christmas, DH getting a bonus just on christmas and me working a lot of public holidays, we should have a lovely christmas this year. I have just heard from my mum and she will be up in Qld for christmas so hopefully maybe my sister and brother and their families and my family will be able to catch up over christmas with my mum. It will be great.


I have to go and keep enjoying my weekend, and get some dinner on and hope that it stops raining a bit to get some washing done tomorrow while i scrap and catch up on some important TV watching (or maybe open that cricut box and have a peek).


take care
