Pictures Of You: Near Year - New Starts

Well i have finally gotten in here and blogged again! LOL! It has been a crazy busy time of year - With xmas and the new year etc - and a few things have been going on at home too - Me and Jono have seperated (Again!!!) We just cant get it to work anymore so decided it was prob best to start over - Its going to be hard at times but i can do it!!
Anyway - enough of the depressing stuff - I do also have some great news to share - Before Xmas i was offered a job to work in a shop closer to home - and i dedided i had to take it - It would be cheaper for me in petrol and the hours are a bit more flexible in that it doesnt take as long to get there too - It was a really sad decision for me - and especially after only being at Scraploot for a short time - the girls there are awesome to work with but i am also really really really excited to work at my new home - Scissors Paper Smock - Which is on the Hume Hwy at Liverpool! It is a fairly new store but the stock in there is BEAUTIFUL!!!!! And it is a gorgeous little shop too! Melinda and Loretta the owners are great girls - so if you are in the area - check it out!!!

So what else have i been up to - thats already 2 pretty big things!! LOL!!!
Xmas being an obvious one to start with - The kids had a blast - My day was great - We opened up all the pressies in the morning - with the fave being Band Hero for the xbox - they all love that - and it works pretty well having 3 instruments they all get 1 to play!! LOL!! The kids were spoilt as always!! LOL! We headed over to my aunty Debs for the YUMMIEST Xmas lunch i have ever had - and the dessert was THE BEST!!!! It was also the first xmas i had spent anytime with my dads family - I really enjoyed it - Although it would have been better if my dad and sisters were there too!! But thats ok - I got to see lots of aunts, uncles, cousins and my nan! The kids had the bestest time there too - On the way home Matt told me it was the best day of his life!! LOL!! Little sweetie!!! He was just happy cause he got the xbox game he really really really really wanted!! He had been asking for it for MONTHS! LOL! So then Jono took the kids up to his parents for a few days. I ended up going over and visiting a friend for the rest of the night! It was an ok day - Could have been better but hey you get that when your life is changing a bit!! LOL!!

I have also been down to a few more Savvy crops - We went out for dinner just before xmas too - i was feeling really sick for about a week before the dinner and thanks to the chemist across the road from the restaurant i ended up perking up heaps so i was lucky enough to eat something! And it was yummy too - I had a great night with my new gong friends!! LOL! We even headed over to Dapto leagues and livened that place up for a bit!! Went down just last week and stayed a night with Sarah - the lovely owner of Savvy - Scrapped up a storm too - I think i ended up leaving with 6 LOs done! Was very productive! And i had a great time meeting a few other scrappy ladies and catching up with others! I really enjoy myself down there - Its like my 2nd home now!! PMSL! Speaking of Savvy - Sar has announced she is looking for a new DT member so if anyone is interested - check out the forum!!! I got myself another kit from there this month - the boy one again - And wowsers - I LOVE it - if you like kits - check out savvy - but be quick cause they sell like hotcakes!!

New Years was bit of a dud!! LOL! Stayed home and facebooked and scrapped the night away! Didnt even have to move from my chair to see some fireworks too - could see them from my dining room window - someone in my street set a heap off! I did make up for it this past weekend though - went out on fri and sat nights! And had 2 pretty good nights too!

So i have TONS of scrapping to share! So i will have to just add a few and come back in the next few days - I want to try and blog at least once a week this year - lets see how long it lasts!! LOL! OK so first up is the latest Santa photo - Arent my kids growing up fast!!! Its crazy! Next up - My layout for Stuck?! sketches Jan 1st sketch - Also using some yummy bo bunny bought from my new work Scissors Paper Smock. The 3rd layout - The Cure - one for Savvys Dec all about me challenge - also my 1st concert ever! LOL! The 4th layout is my kids and my Pa from when we all went fishing! I also used Savvys Jan boy kit - LOVE that kit!! The very last layout is of my little Matt - Using last months Savvy boy kit - I loved the little robots!! LOL!!

Hope everyone had an awesome xmas and is having a happy new year so far too!!! Thanks for dropping by!
