Busy day ahead!

Saturday! Gotta love the weekend!

Well, I have a busy schedule today. Gotta take Robert to be fitted for reading glasses, then Scott is going to Tom's house. In Hughes. Got some serious tidying to do. Like, A LOT! I might get daring and scrub the slate floors, heaven knows they need it but wow, that is a job that takes forever...

Scrapping-wise, I have three "teacher gifts" I'm working on, plus a secret santa. The one I did yesterday looks most swish, if the girl who gets it doesnt like it then I guess that is just bad luck, but I really think she'd have to be awfully fussy not to. The one I am working on now was soooooo hard to decide what to do, I really like this person so I dont want to do a scrubby job! I think I am on a winner though :) I also have three CJs waiting in the wings... just got five sent and now another mini-rush! Just think, there was a period of three or four months where I had NONE, it's like somewhere up the line people thought, oh no, it's coming up for the end of the year, better get these suckers home!

Wonder if I'll ever do "personal" scrapping again.... *grin*....

Well, better go strike a blow for queen and country!

Fun on Friday

As always, running around like a chook with it's head cut off... I seem to beaver away just to get nowhere! Nearly time to get the kids up for school, one of my least fave times of the day really. Robert needs to be summoned at least five or six times, then if he's in a bad mood he'll only grunt or growl for the following hour or so. Damn I hate that growl! Thank God for Stephanie's compliance and Lachlan's active cheerfulness! I dont really think Stephanie's a morning person either but she sort of drifts along so she's no trouble, you just have to keep her in motion!

Doesnt help that Scott is now off school, he wants to be awake so he can gloat (direct quote from him!!!)

At least I have nothing strenuous planned for today, except tidying... Terry's going to visit next Thursday so I have to make things spiffy for his benefit! I think I predict a tip-run in the near future :)

Ah well, must go rouse the young'uns.

Goal for today - learn how to link images properly!

I'm back - and madder than ever....

Well.... I have been soooooo busy catching up on things! I did a total of 25 ATCs for two different swaps, plus finished and mailed FIVE CJ's... it's either feast or famine with those things! Now I just have to get on top of the secret santa things... *sigh* they should have gone by now but i am sooooo stuck, it's the sort of thing I wish I could see what others have done so I have the idea of what I should do, but of course i cant cos it's SECRET! I shall just have to hope for the best that my victims, I mean recipients, dont feel tooooo ripped off :)

Now I can do some personal scrapping - or I would if I wasnt feeling so blocked... pfft. I need some really good pics, but I just dont seem to go where the fun pics are. I want to go to the zoo one day, i have a spiffy kit ready for zoo photos but I dont have anything appropriate. One day when the kids are at school, I think *evil grin*. It's pretty exxy to go there.

Oh well, more later.
