Bloggers are like long lost friends… the story of a blog meetup.

Saturday was super busy, in fact, all last week was busy. I was doing something every night except Tuesday, and then I worked Thursday and Friday. Uni went into the back-burner while I was busy socializing! Unfortunately a similar thing is happening this week (yikes!) so I’d better get stuck into it, today (Tuesday’s) a sick day in our house, so I’ve got a few minutes to write up this post about our lovely Saturday night.

Saturday night Luke and I went to a blog meet in West End run by Dani & Danimezza. We both walked away feeling like it was a fantastic night out. I’ve really enjoyed going to these blog meet ups, I always feel like a bit of a ‘fan’ seeing all these people I read, and me being a bit of a bloggin nobody, but I like to embrace the ‘fandom’ just talk to as many people as possible (often an impossibility to talk to everyone).

I had a great chat with Zoey and Amy for most of the night. I’ve know Zoey since school and stuff, but it was nice to meet Amy in the flesh, cause I’ve been reading her blog for about a year now!

I’ve been sifting through the Goodie bag for days now, finding all these beautiful handmade bits and pieces, and assortment of gifts! It’s such a good way of keeping little memories of the night and all the people you’ve met! Also, yeah, pretty proud of my last minute goodie bag entry- a kit for February’s 12 MOC birds!

Attendees: First Row: Jane’s Friend, Amy, Zoey, Stephen,  Danielle, Zoe, Danimezza.

Second Row: Kelly, Jane, Naomi, Peter, Tracey, Talia, Gemma.

Third Row: Matt, Hayley, Melissa, Penny, Amy and Luke.

Also, important to note: ALL photo are taken by either Danimezza or Danielle!

Scrapbooking…

Another post already!? Shock! Horror!

Saturday was a scrapbooking day at Rachel’s church. So we went along for a bit of scrapping fun!

Organising my front page...

I cut the letters out of paper and stuck them to the cardboard ones!

I wanted to do some journaling on this page. The Velum layer means you can read the writing easily, and also still see the photos. You can lift it up if you want to see the photos clearer.

After all that I realised that I need a few more supplies. A box to store my papers in, and something for all my other bits- stickers, diecuts, brads etc.

Lucky Me…

“I have to celebrate you baby,
I have to praise you like I should”

This is how I felt this weekend. Celebrated by my husband, and family. It’s a nice feeling. Friday was a day of getting presents from my kids and watching Toy Story. Fun times. Piper and her mum gave me an awesome Fraggle Rock T-shirt. Very cool, and I have worn it now ever since I got it! Chocolates, some jewlery, elephants and other nick-nacks were the order of the day. I felt SO special, and almost (I said almost) wish that I didn’t have to leave.

Saturday was also lots of fun. After a bit of a sleep-in Luke fixed up my iTunes, and then we went to the shops. I got an iPhone! and some new underware. Plus we bought some yummies for lunch.

After playing with my iPhone for ages Rhys came over and we drunk wine and champagne and ate a yummy salad, and some other yummy things like chocolate.

Then we eventually got ready and went down to Brissie for Faith’s birthday party @ The Brew House. Fun night- beer, pizza and some arcade games next door.

Thank-you Luke for a great weekend, and to my family for sharing it with me.
