so do you think....



this is purple enough!!!lol!!

Charlie and i are painting her room and this is her feature wall. Dark isnt it? We painted a sample as we couldnt wait to see what it looked like. Her other three walls are white so it should look really luscious. The reason we are waiting to paint is because of the huge hole in the wall i am trying to fill , [taking ages for the filler to dry.] Done in a fit of pique when she was about 10 and been covered with a poster since then!

And from the million, trillion 'whites' out there, she picked white, straight from the tin. It was so hard to get blended. still looks a bit streaky but 3 coats is all i am doing :(

I've had 5 days off this week which has been nice to get all those odd little jobs done but very sad too.

We went to the funeral for Luke and Rachel on friday. It was huge and terribly heartbreaking.

It was the saddest thing to see the two hurses, a black and a white one drive side by side, down the street lined on both sides by all their friends.

I havent felt much like creating but made this atc for a door challenge




Its not quite as dark as the scan or as pink on the door. I really liked the quote too.

Cricket, that what i meant to tell you. We a brilliant family night at the MCG last Sunday. It was so much fun and we won which is always good!! None of us had been before and loved not only what was happening on the fields but all the fun going on with the crowd. The Mexican Wave and bouncy balls trying to avoid security were all part of the fun. Next time we will stay down as we didnt get home till 2 am [thanks to the brilliant parking inspectors who take your money to park your car but are not there at the end of the night to deal with the traffic trying to leave!]
took us 45 mins just get out of the car park!
All i all, we have been enjoying the 20/20 and one day matches.

so, off to work i go tomorrow, hope its not going to be too hot.......

Happy New Years everyone!!!!

To all my blogger Friends, wishing you all a very happy, healthy and creative new year!!

Lets hope this year is peaceful and all the financial doom and gloom improves.

I have finally got some batteries [well, nicked them from hubby's work camera!] and am sharing some summer Christmas pics for my o/s readers.

We had great day over at the farm with family and its always lovely to see all the cousins getting along so well.




One of our family traditions is that the pressies get opened after our Christmas dinner. sometimes that has been 10 pm in the evening, a rather long wait for the littlies!!

Papa dons a santa hat and the youngest has to help him hand out the presents. Ofcourse, we usually lose the helper after he or she gets a present but this year 'little G' did a wonderful job and stacked his up to open later!!!

This year we had a pinata.....first the kids...

go on bash it little G....



K gave it a pretty good whack....


Getting battered....
