Congratulations girls and please send me an email at cmmillar@optusnet.com.au with your addresses and I’ll get those cards out to you later in the week.
My sister is home from the Northern Territory on holidays so we’re taking off to Sydney for a few days for a little sister time together! I’m really looking forward to it. The kids will go and have a few days at Nanna’s and all will be happy – including Jason who gets to have the house to himself for a few days which he loves too!!! Not long after we get back from Sydney he’ll be going to work up at Emerald for about a week or 2 (Emerald is about 7 hours drive from here).
A few things to share.
I did this layout for the Hero Arts die cut challenge a couple of weeks ago. Love how it came to together.
And a couple of cards
And lastly, facebook. Whilst it’s been a great way of catching up with old friends and keeping in contact with interstate relatives, it’s also been a way of finding out sad news. Last week I found out that a girl that I worked with died just last month from cancer. She was only a little older than me and has a 12 year old daughter. I also found out that another work friends husband committed suicide last year.
I really appreciate the scrapping friends that have wanted to add me as their friend on facebook, however I do like to keep facebook just for family and old friends as this is my way of communicating with them, and I have blogs for keeping up with my scrapping friends. I’m sure you will all understand and appreciate that.
Have a great week everyone and I’ll see you when I get back from Sydney!!



Hope you have a wonderful time with your sister Chris!! Supercute LO and cards, love them
