Christmas Card Class

So on Saturday 26th July, Linda Burgess, Catherine Leong, Lesley Meade and I went out to Busy Bee in Upper Hutt and made these wonderful Christmas cards.


I had alot of fun making the cards.
They only took 1 hr 1/2 to make and the class only cost $12.50 each and that included all the materials to make the two cards and templates and instructions to make more.
I would differently be going out there to do more.

Craft Group Outing

I went out with a group of ladies from the craft group I got involved in on Sunday.
Linda Burgess, Catherine Leong, Dena and I went out to Upper Hutt and had so much fun.

I arranged to pick everyone up then we went out to Busy Bee in Upper Hutt, then went to Scrapbook Central in Lower Hutt as the other craft stores in Upper Hutt were not open on Sunday.

We then went into Petone and had a look around Village beads.
We all agreer that doing a class at village beads would be a great idea for another craft outing for the group.
By the time we had done all of this all four were getting hungry so we went to Palace Cafe in Petone and enjoyed lunch.
It was really nice to have an enjoyable day out and I can't wait for the next one we have planned.

A Day of remembrance

Today is a day of remembrance

5 years today my Nana died (my dad's mum)
Today was a really hard day on me and to be honest I think as the years get more and more the harder it gets.
I think my most worry is that I will never remember her and I will eventually forget her.

It was great thought, my boss let me leave work early, so I decided that I would go and pick Dad up from Kelston and took him up to Levin where Nana was buried. I think Nana would have been looking down very proud and liked this.
I also enjoyed it as it was a time for me and dad to bond which to be honest it does not happen that often.

It also made me realise that lives are so precious like gem stones, you never no when they will be gone.

Lastest Update

Well it's to be a while since I have posted to this blog and thought it was high time I did an update.

so where to begin...

On Saturday 17th May 2008 Otis and I went to the food show at westpac stadium with Beth & Bruce and Beca & G.
We had a wonderful time and highly recommend it to anyone thinking of going next year.
It took us 4hrs to get around the whole thing but by the end of it we had tried alot of food and bought a few goodies to add to our pantry.

Fuse was then on again between 30th through to the 1st June at the Michael Fowler Centre.
Otis this year recorded the concerts like last year, and like last year he had good and bad moments of the weekend, however he did come away with some recordings.
Every year Otis work there the better he seems to get at it.
I decided that I had enough last year and was really going to stay out of the technical side of things however I was able to go along and enjoy the show which was nice.

Yes that right Otis and I have a new nephew

I found my cat...
Yeah thats right, after all that stress, flyer drops and web adds on the SPCA a lovely family found my cat under there house on 11th June 2008.
It had been 4 weeks since she went missing so she was a little skinny but we took her to the vet and got her checked and she was all okay.
Me and the family were so glad to have her home again.
