Busy, busy


Well the last couple of weeks have been so very busy. We had some people over for M's birthday on the long weekend and it was great to catch up with some friends we hadn't seen in a while.

June 22nd was our 18th wedding anniversary....and I forgot it! Ooops. That is until M brought me in a coffee at 10.30am with a card next to it. How bad can you feel? Pretty bad. At least we don't buy gifts for the "small" anniversaries just the ones ending in 0 or 5. What to do? It hardly seemed like the right thing to do was run down to the newsagents and bring back a card or disappear for a while and appear suddenly with one that I made. So I left it until later that night and made a "Happy day after anniversary card" and gave it to him at breakfast.

The Girls Night In went very well. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and we raised approx $900 for EDON Place Women's Domestic Violence Service so thats great.
The night after was the Airshow Ball and the Leukaemia Foundation was running it. It's crazy isn't it, how many times do you get the opportunity to get really dressed up and did I get any photo's? No...bad scrapbooker!

Sunday was Scrapbooking Sunday with a great group of ladies and I demonstrated a few different techniques for altering your embellishments.

So now we're on the countdown to the Wide Bay Australia Airshow being held this weekend. If you're in the area have a look at the website to see what it's all about or the Newsmail has been putting quite a bit of info in this week.

Tuesday 7th is the AGM for the Bundaberg Business Women's Network and I won't be re-standing for the Presidents position. Or any committee position. I've really enjoyed (for the most part) being on the committee for three years (two as Treasurer) but it's time I focused on things a little closer to home like my website.

The theory is I'll have a lot more time to do such things as blogging and updating the website. We'll see how that goes shall we?
