Rugby weekend

Talk about a busy weekend with Rugby. The boys had a 7 aside tournament in Millers Flat. Unfortunately their teams didn't do very well but both boys played out of their skin. Ollys team won three games and drew two but it wasn't enough to get them into the finals :) I have to say the amount of work that the coaches do is amazing, what they do for the kids, the time they put into organising something of this callibre is just mind boggling. They are there everyweek for the kids and have everything organised :) Then of course after that we had the alblacks game. Wasn't that exciting. Talk about a turn around from the week before. To be honnest it didn't bother me who won. I would of liked Robbie to win again but we can't have it both ways aye.
For scrapbook outlet we were given a piece of ribbon and had to use it at least three ways on a layout. Here is my resulting layout entitled Tom. I've used ribbon as a flower, as a flower stem, frame for the photo, hanging device for the photo and as a arrow down the bottom left hand corner.and closer of the flowers and their stems and photo frame :)

And on a realy realy exciting note, I am guest designer this month for scrapbox New Zealand Which I am soooooo looking forward too. When the box of goodies arrives I will start to create and share it with you all :).

And on another realy exciting note, Lionel has just been selected to shear for New Zealand in Australia at the end of September. On a bad note, I can't go :( Because his passport is 11 years over due, I've been ringing around flat out, trying to sort out about getting a new passport. Aparently it doesn't take the 8 weeks like I was told so fingers crossed it gets here in time :)

Well that is it for now. Take care :)

what a great rugby weekend. In fact the passport can be quite quick if you are prepared to pay the price for making it urgent. we foun two years ago when we eloped we took in Dh application and we had it back within three weeks (helped we loved in welly). Thats exciting news too. Well done Lionel.

Actually they can do the digi passports really fast cos he's already held a NZ passport - 15working days - no need to make it urgent - so, good luck. Congrats on both your sets of good news - can't wait to see your work as guest designer at Scrapbox!!
