So far......

Well..we are about half way through the school holidays...and weather has just been wet, wet and wet, it's rained everyday since christmas so the kids have a bit of cabin fever, we have gone and seen a few flicks at the movies and we all went iceskating as well, I have to admit it was sooo funny, I could hardly stand up I was laughing so hard, but in the end the kids seemed to get the hang of it, Zac even played red rover..that kid has the most amazing balance though and he really was determined, not to mention inspired by some of the speed skaters out their..we plan on also going down to sea world for the day but we are just waiting for the weather to clear a bit soo we don't get rained out..we even attempted to take the boat out over the weekend , which looked like it was going to be a nice day..but half way through it turned pear shaped and a storm rolled in so we anchored up and sat and waited untill it passed over us..and thank god it didn't hang around I really wasn't prepared enough to be stuck out on a boat with our kids plus kjirstens boys in the middle of a storm!!!


Now as for me I've had some fantastic news to start the year of with firstly I won a major prize from the 123 challenge, which was a Tarisota "I want it all collection" so you check this out here http://tarisota.com.au/tarisota-scrapbook-collections.php I can't wait to start creating and that clear album looks like it would be a great little album to work with....so I'll be looking forward to that arriving...
I was also choosen from the Aussie srap jacked site as one of their winners for the month, and I've picked up a scrap therapy voucher...

So I have had an amazing start to the year already!!!!!!!


I've been indulging in 7 gypsies pp..so here are a few LO's I've created during the week...
