Funny but serious

This may be the best Living Will I've Seen


I,__________________, being of sound mind and body, do not wish to be kept alive indefinitely by artificial means.

Under no circumstances should my fate be put in the hands of pinhead politicians who couldn't pass ninth grade biology if their lives depended on it, or lawyers/doctors interested in simply running up the bills.

If a reasonable amount of time passes and I fail to ask for at least one of the following:

Glass of wine
Chocolate
Margarita
Sex
Chocolate
Steak
Iced Tea
Sex
Mexican food
Chocolate
Cheeseburgers
French Fries
Pizza
Sex
Ice cream
Strawberries
Chocolate
Daiquiri
Sex
Chocolate

It should be presumed that I won't ever get better. When such a determination is reached, I hereby instruct my appointed person and attending physicians to pull the plug, reel in the tubes, let the 'fat lady sing,' and call it a day!




Have a Drink IT'S 5 O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE

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?

Girls Night Out

Do you want a good excuse to get together with some girlfriends, watch a fashion parade, do some shopping, have supper, a drink and maybe win a raffle all the while supporting a local community group? Then buy a ticket to A Girls Night Out - it's only $15. Tickets available from Avanti Collections Boutique in Heidki St Bundaberg. Be sure to buy your ticket soon as numbers are limited.

7pm Friday June 26th upstairs in the Old Bundy Tavern is the place to be. All proceeds from the night will go to EDON Place Women's Domestic Violence Service.

If you would like to a flyer emailed to you please contact me at helen@lornabluestudio.com.au

New Cards

I've had more new stock arriving and these beautiful cards are part of it. They are made with eco friendly materials so as well as being gorgeous they are kind to the planet. I'll have them at the PCYC markets this Sunday. The markets are held at the PCYC which is on the corner of Walker St & Maryborough St from 8am until 12pm and you'll find me in the hall along the back wall. If you're an Elvis fan I've got a tin of 12 cards with matching envelopes.
The new stamps will also be there but if you want something in particular please let me know and I'll be sure to take it along.

May ATC's

Sometimes I feel like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland "I'm late I'm late for a very important date". Again I just sending my ATC's away now, oh dear. The theme for May was Masks.

Wide Bay Australia International Airshow

The Wide Bay Australia International Airshow is coming up very soon 3rd - 5th July. I've been doing some volunteer work for them helping to organise the catering for the chalets so it's all down to the wire now. Bookings for the individual chalets have been closed off but they still have tables of ten available for $990. These tables will be under a marque and the ticket price includes a buffet lunch and parking. All that for less than $100 each, better than a day at the races. If you were thinking of going with a group of friends it's a great alternative, just think you won't have to find a seat or a shady spot and you'll get fed. The website has a lot of information or you can ring the airshow office and speak to Viv on 07 4144 0044.

High Tea

Wow the time just gets away from you doesn't it. Or is that just me?
A couple of weeks ago Shandell very kindly asked if I wanted to go along to a High Tea Fundraiser being held at Fairymead House. It was a lovely afternoon, lots of fantastic food courtesy of Shandell and her mother and lots of raffles. We should have more opportunities to put on a dress, go out and play ladies.
