Well at least


I left you all hanging on a high point....... ;)
I'm so sorry about my seemingly ongoing absence... lol, at least it shows that some people do actually read this thing.. hehe, thanks guys for giving me a kick in the behind to get me blogging again, and thanks to Jane for calling me "witty" roflol.. I don't think that I've EVER been called that before, and not sure if it will happen again... definitely not after this post!! 
Anyway, what have I been up to in the past 5 months? (She says as she quickly flicks through all her photo folders trying to remember what has happened in her life... hopefully she's taken photos of all the important things..)

OK here goes.... 

September:
... had another MAC get together at the Lovely Lee's house.. had a great time, shame that my laptop was still on the blink and I didn't get to bring it :), but it was great just getting to see the girls, and Julieanne had a wonderful time with Quinn, Bronte  and Ash! Yep Sharon had made it down from NSW, which was fantastic!

... had the baby shower for SIL... and for the life of me can't find the card that I made (way to late I may add).. and i really liked that card too and wanted to upload.. oh well that will teach me for leaving things this long I suppose ;)

I'm sure that more happened in Sept, but as these are the only things I have photos of, they are the only things that I can remember off hand.

October
... My new niece Baby Grace was born! She is such a little cutie, and THE BEST baby ever!! I seriously mean that! has slept right through since about the 2nd week (might have even been the first, seriously!) and so very rarely cries... I'm waiting for her to be a terrible teenager.. i mean it's only fair right?!?
... had another couple of Birthdays as well. MIL's was the same day Grace was born (those people can't seem to have children with original days.. their other daughter shares my day ;) ), Waynes Grandma, and Wayne himself...

November
... NEW IMAC!!! Yep finally got it, and must say  AM LOVING IT!!!
... we all (ie, inlaws and us) went to Halls Gap for the Cup weekend.

... I got asked to take the photos at Wayne's cousins wedding.. needless to say that I REALLY didn't want to do it, and I'm still feeling all queasy thinking about it... but I did it and got a couple of reasonable shots.... 
... my birthday. Isabella's party was held at a kids cooking place in Malvern.. lol, Julieanne was the only child that wanted to wear one of the special hats, that's my fun loving girl :)


... at some point I bought Wayne an Xbox 360 to feed his Guitar hero addiction ;)

December

... did the Christmas card photo shoot, and I'm glad that I did too :), even if only a small percentage of cards got out ;)

... School Christmas break up.. this year MIL and FIL and Isabella made it too..
... Went to Inverloch Christmas week and Julieanne got a new bike BEFORE Christmas as we relised how small the one she had was. She doesn't do a lot of riding (as there is no concrete around here to practise on) so she got a bit of a go there.
... went to Mum and Dads for our annual Christmas eve thing
... Christmas day at Inverloch, Lisa's family was there too.. AND SINGSTAR!! Isabella (niece) got it for Christmas and we all had a ball with it.. I couldn't wait for the kids to go to bed at night so the adults could get a turn... lol, I'm now going to get it for Julieanne for her birthday next month ;)
January

... went to Matthew's (SIL nephew) birthday at the adventure park in Geelong... it was packed!! so really didn't have as much fun as we should have... also it was probably the coldest day in the week.. too cold for all the water stuff

... NEW CAR!!! yep see the LO below....

... went to Seaspray (finally) house was a little on the small part and WAyne and I had to sleep in the tent, but that was ok.. ment we could get away from the rest of the family lol 

.. also got to see the Wrek.. not that there was much left of it

Well that was all I could tell from going off my photos.. I KNOW that there is stuff that has been left off, but really I dont' think that any of you care about that (well that is if anyone has actually made it this far!! Well done if you have!!)

Oh and the layouts have been few and very far between... I have only done 2 (not counting cards that might  have been made lol) so here they are.. sorry no credits as I'm running late and must get off my butt ;) CC as always most welcome

This is of the new car


and this was done only because SBM asked me to do a sport theme one ;)

and on a final note I would just like to say how much I'm hating blogger!!! I can't even drag my photos into position now and have to cut and paste!! Not sure if it's a safari thing or not, but am definitely going to have to change I think.... 

thanks for visiting TTFN :)

Lee said...

Oh the MAC get together seems so long ago now...must be time for another one soon! ;-P

LOL on the singstar, I knew you were a shy rocker LOL

Great pics of your new baby niece and the wedding too, I knew you'd nail both shoots!

My absolute fave is the sunset one....just divine!

And as for the layouts, amazing as always....

Too jealous to comment on car and iMac...nuff said ;-)

Lee said...

Oh and meant to say...I just started using flickr (one post LOL) and it works a treat... try that!

Hey, how come Lee gets all the groupies? I've got groupie envy!

I have to agree with Lee, that sunset is a great shot.

We visited the Trinculo wreck last year, and it was an experience that definately suffered as a result of expectations. I thought a shipwreck might look a little "shippier". Oh well.
