MY IMPENDING OPERATION

All being well I will be having my operation on 29th April. If everything goes according to Hoyle I will be in the Surgical Hospital for 5 days then a Rehabilitation Hospital for 10 days, I would presume that it will be a few more weeks after that before I will be able to sit for any length of time on my computer desk. So I will be missing in action for a few weeks. I look forward to a speedy recovery and getting back to normal after that. Thank you so much to all the people that have sent me greetings, I really am grateful to you all, it makes me feel good to read them over when I start to feel down.Until my return I bid you "adieu" !!!
Counting down now..... only 6 more days till op. day !

Michelle

Michelle is one of Yvette's work mates. Yvette took such a lovely photo of Michelle I just HAD to scrap it, she really is a beautiful girl !!




Taronga Park Zoo

Yvette took Zach to Taronga Park Zoo in 2008, she couldn't resist taking a photo of the Giraffe overlooking our glorious Sydney Harbour, what a lucky giraffe !!! the animals there get a million dollar view.
The second LO is of garden scenes around the zoo, I found these photos very interesting, Zach and Yvette are getting to be such good photographers, seeing beauty in everything, I almost feel that my job is done !!









Scouting Activities

These LOs are a mixed bag, the first is when the group volunteered to man a water station for the 2008 City to Surf Fun Run, the kids had a blasthanding out plastic cups of water and Powerade on the day.
The second LO is from a Scout Camp that Zach went on in 2009 to Gunamatta (by the sea) and again they all had tremendous fun for the weekend.







Sue at Numbbumm designed the kit that I used to create these two LO's, you can pick the kit up as a freebie by clicking on the link HERE

Scenes of Paris

These are some of Elizabeth's photographs around the city of Paris, aren't they beautiful ?






Paris in the Winter

Yvette's friend Elizabeth (in the blue cap) had time out with another of her girlfriends, in "Paris" of all places. Liz really needed the holiday and she assures us she had a wonderful time there, even though it was freezing cold.

Easter Sunday at Cronulla 2009

Zach loves the beach, but then Zach loves all things outdoorsy !! This LO was made with Numbbumm's Freebie Mega Kit, which has been named in my honour (what a wonderful thing to have) Sue specifically made the kite for my darling Zach, and I just "happened to have" the appropriate photograph to use it on, how lucky was that !! I think Sue has done a brilliant job on this kit and you can get it here, this kit has something for everyone, you can't go wrong downloading it, there are unlimited possibilities with the papers, elements and alphabet. The name of the kit is "Good Luck Witchypoo".



Zach's friends came for another sleep over, they stayed Easter Sunday and Easter Monday. On Sunday they all went to Cronulla beach to play and have fun at the fair. I'm sure they really enjoyed themselves. So I've done more LO's of the kids at the beach. Jess and Tom don't get to go to the beach very often so they really had a good time ! On Monday they all went to the movies and saw Monsters versus Aliens they loved it !!

I Want My "DINNER" !!

Now here is the Queen of the Manor showing her Miss Bossy Boots side LOL !!!

Our Darling Cat "Flo"

Flo is as white as snow, she never leaves the house, because we are frightened that if she gets exposed to too much sun she will get skin cancer. She is the Queen of the Manor, in more ways than one.


Easter Sunday 2009

Zach had his friends for a sleepover. They went to the beach, and had a bucket load of fun, so that they would sleep well that night, then today Yvette took them to the movies. A wonderful weekend was had by all !!!

Rock Climbing Part 1

Here is Zach doing his thing on the rock climbing wall, I am so proud of him, he did a really good job, I'm not sure he was enthralled by it all, but he was successful at it, and that is the main thing, he may never do it again (although I think he should) but he tried and succeeded !!


Birthday Girl

Zach was making some funny faces behind his Mother's back when she was blowing out the candles on her cupcakes, but with a bit of Nana's clever editing, this turned into a great photograph !!


Chilling and Relaxing

Zach, Mum and Dad went Rock Climbing on Good Friday it was the first time they had ever done it, I was so proud to see that Zach made it to the top twice in two attempts !! Afterwards they were just chilling out for a while before making the trip home.


Choral Pratice

Zach went in to the city with school for Choral Practice at the Opera House, his mum "happened" to run into them at lunch time and took a photo of the school choir and the teachers.

Time in the Park

Zach had been on a weekend camping trip with Scouts, but still hadn't used up all his excess energy, so on the way home his Mum took him to the park, to work it off. It goes without saying by the time they got home he was thoroughly tuckered out !


Another Day of Swimming

Another LO done using "Numbbumm's" lovely Freebies, Zach gets so much use out of our swimming pool, he really is like a little fish !!
