This is where mum and I went yesterday. We both walked in and we were like, “*H)(&%*. This. Is. Heaven.” Only my mum doesn’t swear so her “*H)(&%*” was symbolic of the mind-blowing-ness of walking into heaven.

But seriously. We stood in the front door for way too long, just taking it all in.

This is how the day went: Stop at one stall and star at craft goodies and say  “we’ll never get through them all at this rate, we need to just go throught them all the stalls and then come back to the ones we like best”, Stop at the very next stall, buying slightly over-priced craft goods, and say, “wwe’ll never get through them all at this rate, we need to just go throught them all the stalls and then come back to the ones we like best”. REPEAT.

We did get through all the stalls, some we loved more then others. We also did a bag challenge run by Bernina. We had the front flap of the bag and we had to use these scraps and create something on the front. We had to leave the ‘bernina’ logo uncovered. I thought mine was quite clever- incorporating the red bernina logo into the rainbow. Apparently no one else did though.

These are some of the goodies I picked up too:

And my visual journal got a  bit of a workout. I wasn’t copying down things I saw, but you know how it is when you’re around such inspiring places, you see one craft and think “oooh! That would go well with XYZ I wanted to make” or “That technique would be perfect on the Very Hungry Caterpillar quilt I’m making” etc. So yeah, I wrote down ideas and thoughts and brands that I wanted to look into a bit more at a later stage…

He’s smart, caring, and loving.

Here we are, from youngest to oldest. I know I’m a few days late, but Happy Father’s Day!

Remember when Luke made me my super pot? Well, since then I’ve planted up all my other herbs into tyres (as well as some in the pot Luke made), and straberries and what not in the back garden bed. Nanna gave me a stack of beautiful cane mulch for Christmas (I know, SHAME it has taken my nearly 6 months to do something with it!!), and while Luke is out shopping for my birthday presents (!!!) with Hay & Mon, I decided to invest the time is getting rid of weeds, and using up the much!

Also, it is my birthday on Wednesday, and Luke organised for my family and a few of our friends (unfortunately not all- it was pretty booked out) to go down to the Jazz club in Brisbane on Friday night. If you have not been (and live in QLD) then you MUST go, it is absolutely the best place ever!

And I love my Mum & Dad. They are so cute and in love, and it makes me happy to go out with them. I could seriously just chat with them for ages and not get bored.

For those parties that I did last week I got to get 15 Tupperbucks at Sales meeting last night! So I got $15 worth of free product, which is excellent. I’m going to save it up until after January, when I will get lots more Tupperbucks for my parties then.

And last night I was in the top 5 sellers for the week (out of people that were there that night), so that was exciting and I got a set of 4 free tupperware cerial bowls! So I was pretty glad that I went. Sales meeting is inconvenient cause it’s a Monday night, when I’m meant to have home group, but I think I will only go when I have had a party the week before.

At the moment I just have boxes and boxes of Tupperware at my house that I have to put into the right sections and drop off to people! It’s fun and exciting, and I am wishing I could just keep it all myself! But like Mum said, I have to find a rat proof place to keep my Tupperware, at the moment it is just in a few boxes on the dining room table. Not a good look!

The rats we have seem to be oblivious to the rat sack out, and Harry, our carpet snake has left. So he won’t eat them up for us. Come back Harry!! Luke thinks he left because Amon and I accidentally ran over him one night… but we went back and looked and he was totally okay. Seriously, he is like at least 3 meters long, and thick as your neck, so he was totally fine with the car running over him and all… he was up hissing at us we even watched him catch a bug that was unfortunatley flying near him… See! We were doing him a favour- our headlights were on the bug!!

But anway, hopefully Harry, or a cousin or something will come back to live soon, and eat all the nasty rodents, but not Pep Pep. She is ours to keep.

We spent a fair bit of time yesterday bonding sleeping on the bed together. Pepper is really little, and gets cold easily. She is also keeping mummy and daddy VERY AWAKE during the night. So I am at work now, but very tired!!

Rachel and Aaron bought Pepper’s brother- Shadow, as well! So they have fun playing together. It’s nice to have them part of the same family!!

Pepper loves the attention she is getting, and loves playing with Misty as well. Check out this video I made of her:

In this one I talk about our car accident. If you want to view some photos then you can see them here.

Our bedroom is the only finished part of the house, so everything else is just scattered in the enourmous space we have (it’s taking a bit of getting use to!) Mum and Luke are painting the last wall of the lounge room today, and then there’s the floors to do- but it should be done by the end of the week!! Then we’re on our way to doing the main area- kitchen, study, living area, dinning area. Which is exciting!

We had some great friends, Rachel, Aaron, Pete and Jordan who helped us move yesterday. Thanks guys!! Rachel did some cleaning as well, which was a real blessing! Pete took some photos of the move, which you can view here.

Oh, and Luke had a little accident in our car… no one’s hurt, but if you could all pray (or do just whatever you do!) that it doesn’t cost us heaps and heaps, and that it gets fixed quickly, that would be great!! Thanks. xox.

And my mum showed me this awesome thing today: http://www.simplesavings.com.au Check it out!
