The JJ's in my life (JoJo and Jasper James)

Well it was as I expected .. the time with JoJo went so fast and she's back in Sydney already. It was great having her over. She has totally ruined any potential chance for me to ever have a clean house again, because all I seem to do in my spare time is photos.. photos.. and more photos. We had such a good time out and about snapping anything that crossed our paths, so when we got home we had even more reasons to sit around on our computors, listening to music, talking and laughing while we compiled blocks of photos. Some of the topics of our conversations which must for dexterity remain confidential such as "the wind in the willows" and "who bloo the loo" will never see a straight face in my home again. I love her so much, she is the best friend anyone could ever in their wildest dreams hope to have. I can just imagine how it was for her hubby though, not having her around for the two weeks, I know he missed her terribly. I promised Jo I would start to photograph some of my craft projects so I can share them with you, so I'm charging up my camera to do that. In the mean while I have another of my family members to introduce to you .. This is Jasper James, my big-boy cat. He is shiny, black, spoilt rotten and soooo loveable. He is a great example of the expression you often hear when people say that we chose the cat we have but they own us. Meet Jasper.

Its only 2 more days before my best friend heads home so Sydney and I seriously don't want to think about when she's gone. I'm going to miss her so much. We have been right into the photo's and man have we had some fun. She has taught me heaps. I'll leave you with some of my pages that I have done, some that I am really pleased with. We went to Perth today, to Freemantle, Geeez they have really got some awsome markets there (NOT), but atleast the company was good. I got an absolutely fantastic buy though .. An old fashioned baby cradle only in doll size. It is exactly the same design as the one we had when Mel was a little bubba.. Now I know that the little porcelain doll that I've had my eyes on is meant to be mine. My hubby said to go and get it. Its a little baby boy and it is so sweet ..he needs a home ... I will need some help to name him so if you have any suggestions please feel free. He is little, cute and has a sweet face, he looks like a new born and he is so loveable. Anyway we bought his cradle home today waiting for him to arrive but so far the only one that has been in it is my little cat Lucy. It puts new meaning to the Harry Chapin song "cats in the cradle". She does look cute in it though. We're all sitting around the table on our laptops, my hubby, my baby girl( who looks beautiful with her new hair cut), my best friend and me, all sitting around together, how perfect. Anyway till next time, stay safe and happy.

Meet my princess

I've been busy with a new photo program that I purchased. Its amazing how much fun can come from a computor when you are borderline computor illiterate to computor dumb, But let me tell you that it is possible to learn new things when you have someone sitting by your side, with the patience of a saint, their can of pepsi max and a chocolate bar. My best friend JoJo is as much a computor guru as my hubby, they could both hack into the Nasa if it meant finding something that they want to find, but this is a bonus for someone like me who needs to learn. Anyway.. This is one of my first projects and I'm so proud of it. This is my little Princess .. Her name is Lucy Marie, and she is as pretty as a picture and I just had to share her with you all. She is spoilt, But I prefer to think of it as "well loved". Say Hi to Lucy. She has two big brothers, named Jasper James (another cat) and Bobby Frederick (a bird) who you will all meet later and a sister named Jetta Mae (a dog) Plus her human sister and two human brohers. No wonder she's spoilt. As i get a bit more fine tuned at my photo craft I will send you all photos of each of them. anyway that will be for another day.

Surprises Galore

Well the last two weeks have certainly held out for surprises. My wonderful husband organised a surprise visit from my mum. He brought her over last Friday so she could spend a week with us. We had a good week too. This trip she actually got to look around the area and take in some sights including walking the sea mile at Busselton Jetty. Poor darlin' she was so tired by the end of it ..but she did it.. she is a real trooper. Luv her to bits and I really find it hard saying goodbye to her. It's horrible saying goodbye at the airport ..real gut wrenching and I wasn't feeling the best as we watched her plane disappear into the clouds over Perth airport. Hubby knws how hard it is and he's sensitive to that, so he took us all down to the Dome cafe to get a cuppa and some lunch. Well blow me down ...who should walk in but my best friend JoJo. She had arrived 1/2 hour earlier than planned from Sydney for a 2 week holiday with us (yet another surpise). I think everyone in the cafe knew her name by the time we had finished hugging each other and the tears stopped. She is the reason that I'm hear blogging now. She has set me up and got me up and running. She is wonderful, and we seem to bounce ideas and tasks of each other all the time. She is a blogaholic, and she is wonderful and I luv her dearly. I know the next 2 weeks are going to fly but I would like to share them with you. Sammie (AKA .. Kerri)
