Kelly Rotherham Rocks

god what an evil internet connection tonight, i am so getting annoyed with dial up!!!!

I just wrote this huge waffle and then up-loaded it only for it to crash! not nice! maybe i might get broadband - nah!!!

I forgot to tell you about the other cool thing that happened when we went to scrap camp up Pohongina Valley. Kelly Rotherham came out for a day and did a wonderful free class of make and take, it wwas fantastic! She was promoting her new web based classes that she is running through her blog http://www.kellyrotherham.typepad.com/ you definately should check it out.

the class she was promoting when she was there was "funky felt" the best thing about it all was the price, i was floored as to how aaffordable it was. Two ways you could do it, either the full price where you got a pack as well, and the pack was very cool it even came in its owwn container!!! I love containers!!! And if you already had felt etc at home and did not need the pack you could just pay for the class!! What a cool idea. I am going to sign up for some classees after Xmas!!

Anyway do check out her website http://www.kellyrotherham.typepad.com/ you certainly will not regret it!

Another Week Goes By

Well another week goes by and not much really happens, but I am sure I can waffle on with something.

Friday Jade went to assembly at school, first of all she got a certificate for good editing of her work and then she won the reportable, she was very excited about this! Your name goes in the draw if during lunch time you are playing nicely or picking up rubbish or just generally being a nice child, then the pull out a name at the assembly and they win a prize. Jade won a rock painting kit which she thought was extremely cool!

Friday night Ralf and I went to the erotica expo with Jo and Bruce, it was very funny! Then we went out for tea at a nice Thai restaurant, Ralf ate lots!

Saturday nothing exciting, but Saturday night I went scrapbooking with Jo, which of course is always exciting!

First one is another picture of Jade at Rarotonga, we introduced her to "Mocktails" she thought they were great.

Next one is another one of Jo and I when we were at scrap camp up at Pohongina. Jo poses in all the pictures and she tells me to too, but I can see a glimpse of her out of the corner of my eye so I always start laughing, then click the photo is taken and she looks fab and I look like an idiot! A special trait of mine!

Today a nice parcel arrived for me from the States, yippee the next Heidi Kit, but I had also got a couple of extra specials for Jo and I! Very stoked, so might have to look at doing some scrapbooking tonight, cannot wait to have a play.

Ralf's Home!!!

Yahoo Ralf is home! For me the month went super fast, and I am sure the break did us both the world of good, but yahooo he is home!!!! So I finished work at lunchtime so I could collect Ralf and Gundi from the airport, and look what I had to collect -

Such a hairy man! He looks like a porn star with a moustache like that! let alone the hair on his head, and thankfully for you guys you cannot see the state of the eyebrows as well, so out came the clippers -

Ahhhhh much better, well the hair and eyebrows! Decided that he would keep the mou so he could pop into work on Monday (still on leave) and show it off so all the boys can have a good laugh. Come Tuesday though it will be all gone! Next time I have told him to grow a full grown grizzly adams beard, as that would be super funny!!!

Well we have had a great weekend. So Ralf was home, he had a new BBQ to build which he did on Friday night, and then Deb and Gundi came around for tea and we gave it a test run - worked fantastically. Today though we gave the rotisserie a test run! Fantastic, we cooked a whole chook on it, really cool. So that is it no cooking for me until April of next year, the BBQ reigns over the dinner menu!!!!!! FANTASTIC!!!!!

Next weekend we have another full on weekend. The erotica expo is on again, so Jo and Bruce are coming with us, will be really funny. We went last year and it was a huge eye opener, but certainly fantastic entertainment!! Maybe I can convince Ralf that he would go well in the jelly wrestling pool!!! Saturday Ralf will no doubt be golfing and I am scrapping with Jo that night, and then on Sunday we are planning on going to Paraparaumu for the day, Ralf's Dad's birthday is the next Monday.

Anyway better go and do more family things.
