Look what Ive got!

I am a bit behind in showing these but better late than never. I got these for Christmas from my sneaky sister.I now officially have a business card which is great so I now don't have to fumble some rubbish to customers like ".....sorry,Ive just run out".One of my yearly goals has been crossed off the list so double whammy!!!

They are pretty cool and if you haven't already got some -get some.

Stay tuned as the work bug has started nibbling so may have some new things to show.

Meme

What is a Meme short for anyway....... I am assuming it is me.me. Am I right? Well I have been tagged by the very funny Caroline - and she can tap! Where does her talent end! Here goes......

DO YOU LIKE THE LOOK AND CONTENTS OF YOUR BLOG?

Yeah its ok ... ofcourse there is room for it be a bit spiffier... more fancy things on the side and for the contents - well- Id like it to be funnier, smarter,full of original fabulous creations - you know, stuff like that.

DOES YOUR FAMILY KNOW ABOUT YOUR BLOG?

yyyeeess - my sister did the header.

CAN YOU TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT YOUR BLOG?

Yes

DO YOU JUST READ THE BLOGS OF THOSE THAT COMMENT ON YOUR BLOG?

Sometimes, It depends how much time I have.I do subscribe to bloglines though so I get updated of my faves.I generally sneak peek around through links of my favourite bloggers.

DOES YOUR BLOG POSITIVELY EFFECT YOUR MIND?

Occassionally.... I am not an obsessed blogger and I go through phases. It is a great way to vent and just blah blah, massage your ego abit and ofcourse when you get comments it is full of warm fuzzys.

WHAT DOES THE NUMBER OF VISITORS TO YOUR BLOG MEAN?

I have no idea who reads/ visits my blog unless they comment. Obviously the more the merrier.

DO YOU IMAGINE WHAT OTHER BLOGGERS LOOK LIKE?

Naa not really because most of the time there a pics along the way of themselves on their blog - seems to solve that.

DO YOU THINK BLOGGING HAS ANY REAL BENEFIT?

For me, it has given me a small something to do.... a creative task that keeps my brain ticking along and helps me validate myself a little especially because I am a now a stay-at-home with a small play-business on the side. (sad that I feel that but I do). Blogging is a reminder to myself that I have a brain and I can use it - something I tend to forget when Im cleaning up spew at three am........

DO YOU THINK THAT THE BLOGASHERE IS A STAND ALONE COMMUNITY SEPERATED FROM THE REAL WORLD?

To some ego-blog-maniacs -yes. But for the most, no.

DO SOME POLITICAL BLOGS SCARE YOU? DO YOU AVOID THEM?

They dont scare me but that isn't why I read blogs so I choose not to read them.

DO YOU THINK THAT CRITICIZING YOUR BLOG IS USEFUL?

I think most of us criticisize ourselves enough without some anonymous chickenshit sticking the boot in.

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO YOUR BLOG INCASE YOU DIED?

Well I have now!!

WHICH BLOGGER HAD THE GREATEST IMPRESSION ON YOU?

Probably my sisters because it inspired me to do my own

WHICH BLOGGER DO YOU THINK IS THE MOST SIMILAR TO YOU?

I have no idea... We are filling a tiny hole but I doubt they are the same. OOOhh that was very freudian of me wasn't it????

NAME A SONG YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO?

Im a closet disco/video hits queen so anything on double tt generally hits the spot

Im tagging Sammy and Leisl.


Onto something that I did over the weekend for a little friend of my daughters....yes, I know not the most original idea but I do think much better than some thing plastic that has a thousand pieces!! Apparently the birthday girl wasn't too impressed.... Oh well tough luck five year old!!

The Curse of the Wii

It finally happened and ofcourse had to happen to me.
An injury was caused by the Wii.
By me holding and controlling the wii.
I smacked a poor five year old in the head with the remote and the slapping noise was sickening - you see I pack a mean backhand - even in my loungeroom.
There was blood. Alot of blood. A very surprised five year old. A very unhappy mother. A very shaken wii holder.
WARNING - Dangerous object! What was even worse was that ten seconds before it happened we were all laughing at the warnings that flash up on the screen before you play, about how you must make sure no-one is around you. OOOOOOPSSS. Anyhoo,all is well, no bruising nor lumps to be seen on victim just a small cut. My hand has also stopped shaking. Apparently these INJURIES are not so uncommom.

Apart from scaring small children I have been doing a little bit of applique.



I am quite impressed with myself as the weather here has been sooooooooo hot it is getting a little unbearable, especially when you have no air conditioning and two whingey sweaty kids. Keeping calm myself has been a challenge......Thank god for chocolate chip cookies...... No comfort eating going on here.

And the New Year Begins....

For some strange reason I am feeling a little apprehensive about the year ahead.... One of the reasons is we will be selling our house, yes, we are growing out of it but it is our first property and although a little squishy we do love it.AAAAAhhhh well, time to move on, maybe the real reason I am feeling nervous is that we really don't think that the next move will be the "BIG" one. You know, the house that you stay in for the next 20 years...... we just don't have the crackers..... my husband is being strangely consistant in mentioning that we should move in with my Mum so we can eat all her yummy curries. Now call me old- fashioned but there are several things wrong with that scenario!

My baby is going off to school this year so I am having issues about that! Not about her - me, ofcourse! ( Although the sound of her singing to "high school musical soundtrack" on the Karaoke Option , around the clock will not be missed,bless her little Joh Benet Socks)

This Christmas I also officially created a monster - I bought my husband a NINTENDO WII It was such a secret squirrel mission I had to get it from New Zealand - long story... an interactive game that has you running around the lounge room like a lunatic. My gadget obsessed husband is extremely happy and there is no turning back now.

With the summer holiday just a distant memory - although I still have the farmers market Vanilla and strawberry jam to remind me - yum,we will be getting back into the swing of things. Back to the gym, eating better blah blah blah well here is my list.... ( personal goals)

Blank ... Tried but have too many to mention.... Have to Raincheck it....

Happy New Year.
