As I am without a car at the moment. I had to get up very early this morning to catch public transport to work. I took this picture when i walked out my door at 6.50am. To start my journey on the public transport system. I had to catch a Bus, Train and then a Tram. I got to work at 8.00am so 2hrs can't wait to get my/a car back




29/365

I used some of the new Masterfoods Home made Marinades - Thai one. I cooked up some diced beef with zucchini and made wraps with them. I thouroughly recommend these marinades they are so full of flavour.

Werribee Zoo

 
Posted by Picasa


We went to Werribee Zoo on Saturday. I took my nephew George with us. This is the third time we have been. The two previous times we have had a Terrible time, didn't see many animals upclose, the safari bus had an accident. However this time we had a great time. As you can see from the photos we got to see lots of animals close up.

The last Few Days


21/365

Today we went to Westfield Plenty Valley to do some shopping. From Kmart we got this Foam rocket launcher. It shot straight up into the air and goes quite high. It had this cute little animated person on it. Ryder is doing his tough face.








22/365
I got a new calendar for this year and it also come with a jigsaw. Ryder asked if he could do it. It is quite a details picture. I helped him a little bit but he did most of it. He did quite a good job. After the puzzle we started a Game of Indiana Jones Monopoly which ryder got for Christmas.





23/365

Went shopping again today to buys some storage containers so I can finish putting away my Christmas decos. I got this Bling Keyring from Dusk. Along with some great bargains on Christmas stuff for this year

2nd post


day 19/365

Today we dropped George of because he was going on camp to Cottage by the Sea. After we dropped him off I took my mum to Ikea, I didn't realise that she hadn't been there before. Needless to say, she loves it and definitely wants to go back without any kids. We had Ryder and he was being a bit of a pain.








Day 20/365

We went down to St Leonards today to visit Nick and the Kids. We went swimming at this beautiful little spot, it is just perfect for the kids. Got a bit sunburn/windburn. The kids had heaps of fun swimming and playing. Shame we couldn't stay longer. Left about 9.30pm Ryder fell asleep as soon as we hit Geelong.

catch up


Day 16/365

This is a picture of a glass sphere I got of one of my BFF's Chris years ago for my birthday. I absolutle love dolphins and have a big collection of dolphin stuff. I still love this after all these years.





Day 17/365

Today i spent the day trying to clean up the scrapbook room along the way. I made this to store my dymo (around the block one) and all the tapes that i have to go with it. Also stores the different font wheels i have. The tin is full. My scrap area is in pink/blak. So chose these old papers I had to match in

Weekend post - Saturday


Well Saturday afternoon I met Trish at the Comedy Theatre to go and see The Rocky Horror Show. I have been a big fan of this movie and stage show for years. Trish however had no idea what it was all about. It was quite fun watching her expressions as she watched the Characters who come out into the audience before the show. The last time I went and to see The Rock Horror Show was in 1987 at the Princess Theatre. Thoroughly enjoyed this production of it too. No cameras were allowed so no photos. Ioata was fantastic in the part of Frank N Furter. Afterwards we went to a great restaurant for dinner called Little Malaysia. Lucky I didn't leave it up to Trish to direct us there (lol). Thanks Trish for a wonderful afternoon/evening.

I have also decided to use one of my Basic grey 6x6 pads. I cut up the papers into 2.5 x 3.5 pieces and used the corner rounder. they are all ready to go now.

Part of my clean out is the the scrap room. Here is a picture of my built in robe. I have cleaned it all out and it is nice and clean ready for some stuff to go away. (notice my homemade version of clip it up). Here is some of the mess in the lounge room , sorting out stuff from the scrap room

day 5

Am still going strong, with taking my photos I have taken heaps today as i have been scrapping. However the ones i am showing are of my new glasses which just arrived. Got them over the net 2 pairs for $107.50 (this included the postage) I ordered them on the 19th Dec and they arrived today so that's pretty good service considering the Christmas, New year holidays. They were from ausspecs.

The pictures of Ryder in the groovy glasses I took at Spotlight, while we were shopping. Ryder had some money to spend from his birthday.
