Some of my work

Well, 2 posts in one day. I am committed....

I have finished my journal spots for a swap and I will put them here. Mine are nowhere near as creative as some of the others but I guess we all have to start somewhere.

The first two I 'cheated' and actually bought them off etsy:)

These, I made myself, but I made a copuple of extra bits to make up for my limited creativity this time round

One of them is with cardstock and the other is with a transparency. Both are stamped of course.

The pink one is made with cardstock, a stamp and kindy glitz. the other 2 are transaprencies. They aren't very clear, especially the butterfly. I'll work on those posting skills.

Just wanted to post these because I promised.

I will add some pics of my journal when (and if) I ever get it finished.

Have a good one,
Mel

Woo hoo, it's Friday

Now it's officially only 2 weeks till school holidays. Yippee!!! Can't wait till they're here. Not that I have anything really special planned. We are going to Canberra to visit a friend for a few days and then to the Blue Mountains for the long weekend. After the holidays we are all going to Queensland for a week or so so the kiddies are very excited about that:)

Not many plans for the weekend. I have some creative stuff to finish....otherwise I will be hunted down!! I will post when done. Housework - boring but necessary I suppose and time to get into my garden before it starts to look like something out of the Day of the Triffids:-)

My daughter has discovered how much fun it is to sew so I will get her started making a bag. She has picked out some fabric so it's just a matter of cutting it out and away she goes. So that's on the agenda for this weekend also.

Might do a picnic with the kids, maybe just to the park - not sure yet.

My very dear friend comes back from her 6 week European holiday on the weekend and I am looking forward to that. I have missed her terribly. Can't wait!

Anyway, have a great day and enjoy your weekend with your family.

Hello all you blog surfers!

Well,
This is my first blog entry. I'm not very good at this, have tried it before and made one post until it dismally failed and is now RIP somewhere in discarded blog heaven.

Yesterday my kids were unwell (or so they claimed) and we all stayed home.By the end of the day I was so very over them. For three 'sick' kiddies they made short work work of destroying my house and nearly destroying each other! Back to school for them today:-)

Yesterday I finally finished my journal cards for a swap im in on SBM forum, might post pics tomorrow, and worked on my grief and loss circle journal for SBM. Haven't finished my entry yet so posting will have to wait until monday I guess.

Today I have my behaviour program. Every Thursday I have the priviledge (note sarcasm) of working with 11 behaviour disordered teenagers for the day. You can't tell me I'm not tolerant. I have been working in behaviour for over 10 years and even though I complain about them, I do love what I do, most of the time. Although since losing Shelby, my perspective on some things have changed and my tolerance of some things has diminished. I just have to remember that everyone has a story and losing Shelby is part of mine. It doesn't mean that other people's issues are trivial or insignificant, just that they are different.

I hope no-one has to go through losing a child.

Well guys, that's all for today. Might try to post tomorrow.....no I WILL post tomorrow:)
