Sunday 3rd August 2007 my Grandad (my mum's dad) left us to be with my Nana.
Yes a year today my Grandad passed away.
It was really nice most of mums side of the family came together in Foxton on Saturday.
We all met at the cemetery and paid our respects and remembered. We did not end up staying long as there as it started to get very cold and rain.
We all went to the Foxton RSA and had a lovely dinner.
For me it's really nice to get together with the family and catch up.
So today even though it was a sad weekend, it was also good.
Life never lasts forever so it make me remember that family are important and to treasure them.

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.
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

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.

How life can be so Precious....
Wow what a month I have had.
Its started out wonderful, I got to go to a scrap away weekend to Silverstream Retreat with scrapbook central and man on man did I have fun.
And I made the most amazing friends.
I came back from the weekend feeling refreshed and rested even though it was a busy weekend.
Work has been full on. I got a payrise at a price. YAH
HOWEVER I have had to change jobs and having to learn that job quite quickly. Its made life rather stressful and then on top of that a good friend of mine passed away of Overial Cancer at the age of 38 suddnley.
Also on top of that the friend that died was actually my bosses sister, so alot of the staff were I work have not been here.
I not complaining and people need time and space but on top my plate, its made me a little more stressed but I am fully sure I'll get through it.
But on a up note this week I have been to a wine & cheese night at our friends Beth & Bruce. While there order some wine.
If you ever interested look at the website but read the conditions carefully.

I get to go to a make n take at Crafting Around with one of my new friends Katie and then on friday I've got the funeral to go to on friday in the morning and then in the evening I've been invited to a scrapping evening at Knox Presbyterian Church with another new friend Karen.
Then on Saturday Otis, I and maybe some other friends are off to The food Show.
So the week has started off pretty horrible but I am really hoping it will get better.
Take care till next time
