Back to School and a busy weekend

Well that's it for another lot of school holidays, Madeleine is back at school tomorrow, should be fun getting her out of bed tomorrow as over the holidays she is lucky to surface before 10:30am.That's teenagers for you.


The last week of the holidays was pretty quite, Madeleine had a couple of friends over on various days, we went shopping and the movies. Last Sunday night the three of went to see Journey to the Centre of the Earth, which was pretty good. It's always good when we can get Neil to come to the movies, he's not much of a movie goer.


This weekend just gone was busy busy busy.


Friday Night: We went out to and Indian restaurant in Parkdale (sithara) for dinner with friends. It was a lovely night and the food just seem to keep on coming. I walked out of there feeling like I'd certainly overindulged.

Saturday: Neil's cousin Susan and her husband Sean had a get together for their daughters 1st birthday. They live over in Ferntree Gully so the new East Link Freeway certainly cut a bit of time off that trip. Neil's cousins are all really lovely people so it always a pleasure to catch up with them. Here's the card I made for Ashley:-

Saturday Night: Neil's friend Norm came over for drinks with his new friend Linda, who we hadn't meet before. It was nice to finally meet her and get to know her a bit. Because of daylight savings starting here they didn't actually leave until around 1.30am, so I was pretty well zonked (and not by alcohol) by then.

Sunday: Madeleine and I and a girlfriend of mine and her two daughters went to see a local production of Oliver at the Frankston Arts Centre. It was an excellent show and the talent was phenomenal.

Last night I finally got around to starting and completing this weeks Pencil Line challenge 104. Nothing like leaving things to the last minute. I tried to use some of my older stash in this one so used BG two scoops PP and brads, along with some of the MM noteworthy glitter elements and flowers. The photos are of my niece Charlie when we visited in July. She is such a cutie and she was supposed to be going to sleep, but was more into showing off and having a giggle.

Bedtime? or Playtime?

Ok that's it for me today, have a wonderful week everyone and Take Care.

You always have such a full social calendar, I don't think I could ever keep up with you. (I mean, how do you even get time to scrap?)

Isn't it funny how the school holidays always seem to be over so fast but also drag on at the same time? And you always seem to squeeze so much into yours. LOL

I spent the last few days of the holidays helping Phuong madly finish an assignment that was due when she went back to school....IN GRADE 1!!!!!
