It's soooo cold! yeah yeah I am a sook!

when I got up yesterday morning it was so foggy outside you couldn't even see the power poles on the other side of the road!!!!!

I took this pic at 8.15am when it finally came into view - just!

and this pic I am so proud of!

I was playing with my camera at night and took this shot in total darkness, I could not see anything through the viewfinder and yet it still took a great photo!!!!
Not been doing allot on the scrapping front, been spring cleaning and rearranging my house during the day and crashing from total exhaustion on the couch at night! LOL
must be a sign of getting old!!!

I hope to get some more scrapping done tonight, that is if I don't fall asleep again like last night! yeah right here at the desk! I rested my head for 2 minutes and woke up an hour later! dingbat...

------------------------------------

It was my baby boys 15th birthday during the week

I know I cant believe he is so OLD.... that makes me OLD

he didn't want to do anything! so I dragged him down to Hillary's for some dinner

which he did enjoy himself (even though everything closed at 8pm on a Friday night)

there is a pathetic LITTLE fair there so they had some fun on the dodgem cars and clown games

gosh I wish I knew how to use this camera! I took heaps of photos but they all turned out like *****

---------------------------------

ok then I had better get my day happening!

till next time

behave yaselves!

My new toy...

it takes beautiful photos (considering I have no idea how to use it!)

Met up with my beautiful sister and her girls at Kings Park yesterday and attacked them all like paparazzi - took over 1100 photos!

I know how mad is that?

was a great test for the camera though, the battery lasts forever!

it still has 3/4 charge!!!!

here's a little snippet of some of yesterdays pics

I bought the camera while in Sydney and I blame Tracey and her hubby for it!

they have one and as soon as I took 1 photo with it I was sold!

so we raced down to the shops and bought one! LOL

mind you I got it for an absolute bargain so that's even better

----------------------

ok, some pics from my little 'holiday'

I wont bore you with the gazillion pics I took but here's the meetings with some of the most nicest beautifulest gorgeous people I have ever met!

pic 1 - the Sydney RSS girls - me, Tracey, Kath & Mandy

pic 2 - the Melbourne RSS girls - Shell, Rach, me, Lexie & Shazza

pic 3 - the Down Under Direct Team (well part of) - Andy, Deb, Leonnie & Stacey Caron (owner of Spellbinders) - Stacey's hubby Jeff and their boys were there too

pic 4 - Tracey, Lorraine Bate and me

and the 'gang' that put up with me on my travels!

I had the most fantastic 9 days

thank you everyone

-------------

Now I must run, I have a massive ironing job in to do and if I don't get my butt into gear it wont get done in time and I am still not feeling that crash hot after my night out on Saturday!

yeah had my first ever hang over and it is taking me days to recover!

Never again shall I drink these ...

NEVER... NEVER... NEVER

---------------

till next time peoples

hopefully with some scrappy pics to share

have to locate my mojo first!

take care and behave yourselves

Luv Nat xx
