Fantastic weekend, last weekend

Wow, what a fantastic weekend last weekend. Well it was really Sunday. We had the arts and craft expo in Lawrence and I was on scrapbooking all day. We had quite a few people in and looking and comparing CM and our way. Managed to convert a few people and "gently steer" others in the right direction LOL. Had a few of my BTP projects there too that I had to borrow back off Mum and Dad. Found a lot more people around here that scrapbook and a few that are wanting to branch out from the CM. One lady even wants us to go to Dunedin for a day scrapbook shopping, how awesome would that be LOL. And too top the day off I met the amazing Lara Moss, her hubby and gorgeous wee son Ethan. I still haven't worked out how Ethan can eat a chocolate Ice cream and only get it on his face (if it were my kids they would have it all down their fronts, up their arms LOL). Lara, it was an absolute privilege to meet you. I cant wait for the scrap retreat. I've warned DH about the one in September too.
For the day I managed to get three layouts done, nothing spectacular but it gave people a chance to ask questions and plenty did which was brilliant.
This week has just been a blurr really. My Nana is down from the North Island (my mums mother). They called in on Sunday and stayed Sunday night and Monday night so it was awesome to get to spend some time with them and for the kids to get to know their North Island Nana. She heads home on Thursday out of Queenstown air port so I am going to head over Wednesday for a good bye and mum wants the boys to stay (so who is too argue with that aye!!!!). They are going for a look around Arrowtown and Queenstown before she flyies out.
Then for the rest of the week we were shearing. We brought some ewes and they had a few months of wool on so of course Lionel wanted to take it off LOL. We only finneshed this morning and then this afternoon we have been weaning drenching and vaccinating the hoggets. So I am about knackered tonight. Be nice having MIL and SIL here, good excuse for not doing too much :) They arrive on Monday about 10.00 and head back on Tuesday. Will be good to catch up with them and for MIL to see what we have done since she was last here. last time she was here we had the fire in the wall and now all the alterations are done (except for the decking).
Well I am off to bed now.
Remember
The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be. :)

Wow back again.

Can't believe that I have been away for so long. I hope everyone had a fab Christmas and new year. Ours was very quiet with only Mum and Dad coming for Christmas. Was a fab day though, they gave the boys fishing rods and we went down the back fishing after lunch and after lots and lots of harping. Jake caught two and Olly caught one. Not big but certainly takeable LOL. Olly keeps telling us that he only got one but "IT WAS THE BIGGEST." LOL .

Our alterations are nearly finneshed. Just got tidying up to do around the windows on the outside with rough casting. The inside is all done, fire, hot water cylender, paper, carpet, curtains (Oh I am so thankful to the big red shed for them.) I got enough to do the big lounge and the new doors with curtain rails (three big sliding doors) two large windows for under $500. Luckily got in there when they had 40% off. Boy they look good too :) Now all we have to do is get the decking up. Luckily we brought alot of that with us and got the piles before new year for 50% off. Oh I love these bargins.

On the down side, the 22nd December I got tonsilitus really bad, had a chest infection, ear infection and all my glands were well and truely up. Put on 10 days antibiotics and thought I was right. Then yesterday I wasn't right again, so went back to the dr. More antibiotics. Hopefully this will sort it out. Apparently I might have to have them taken out eww, not looking forward to that if it happens so lets just hope the antibiotics help.

Just tried uploading photos and it won't let me so hopefully next time I can get some on. Till next time
