WOW has it been that long ???

Greetings all... Wow, its been ages since i updated my blog!! Sooooo slack... No, really, just sooooo busy... Life just seems to fly on by in the blink of an eye!!! First of all, i am very excited to announce that i have been selected as a Design Team member on a scrapbooking site, www.scrapofdifference.com.au... This is a very big achievement for me, as a very passionate scrapper, its something i have been hoping for , for a very long time, so i am just a little EXCITED!!! It is my first time on a DT, and i can't wait to get into it and inspire fellow scrappers!!! Trace, i will seriously need some advice for this one!! lol... Not a lot else to report of any great interest.. I have been plugging away at the house, the hallway has been repainted and looks great, and just last night i decided to lay lino in the laundry over the crappy concrete floor, and get myself a brand spanking shiny new laundry tub.. I have also undercoated the walls and just waiting for my dear friend Braddo to give me a hand to finish lining the walls , then i will paint it, and bang, laundry reno complete... It looks SOOOOO much better already!!! The rest of the house is pretty much finished, i know, its been going on for 8 years, but theres only so much a girl can do at a time on her own! I was getting it all ready to sell, but i have my doubts every other day, i just love the house so much, so i have put those plans on hold for a little longer.. besides, the market has dropped off a little, so best to sit tight and wait.. and contemplate a little longer....
Miss Olivia is turning FIVE tomorrow... Where has my beautiful little baby gone :-( She is very excited, and we are having a Fairy Picnic in the park tomorrow to celebrate, with about 20 other little 4 and 5 year olds, so it should be good fun.. Olivia has been accepted into St. Mary's, a private Catholic school, for prep next year, which she is very happy about. I think she bamboozled the Dep Principal in our interview though, when she was told what prep was all about, and what she would be learning, she proudly announced, "But i can already do that!" lol... so im kind of hoping they will put her up to Grade one earlier, which they said may be a possibility. (I tried for months to get her into prep early to no avail...) Shes a very intelligent little girl, and im not just saying that coz shes my child... lol...
Better go and get party things organised... i have so much to do, and so little time! Heading away next weekend up to the beautiful Maleny, for a scrapbooking retreat with mum and my good mate Tracy, we cant wait for a whole weekend of un interrupted scrapping and no children!!!! LOL.....
Anyway, thats it for today.... Hope everyone is well and HAPPY :-)
