Weekend Stuff

On saturday night we took the kids to the pub for dinner and so we could try out the face-painter I've booked for Jemima's birthday party in November. While the food wasn't that great the kids had a great time and were thrilled with the face-painter, or in this case 'arm-painter'. One of the children who had a turn before Max and Jemima wanted a tattoo so my kids decided that's exactly what they wanted too. In the end it worked out well because they could keep their paintings on their arms until the morning as it was under their pyjama sleeves and wouldn't rub off all over their bedlinen. Luckily they were both happy to have it washed off in the morning.




It was AFL Grand Final weekend in Melbourne and the shop was very quiet on saturday afternoon. So quiet in fact that I closed the shop early and came home. On sunday we had a crop nicknamed 'Football Widow's Revenge'. While there were only 7 of us, we had a fabulous time giggling and laughing and scrapping up a storm. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful group of girls who love our shop and who like to come and have a good gasbag with us.

It was a brief but welcome distraction for me as my mind has been occupied with thoughts of one of my closest friends who had some very sad news on friday. It's not my news to share so I won't write about it publicly but I hope she knows how much she is loved and that her friends are here when she is ready to lean on us. She is always on my mind and in my heart.

These are the results of my sunday scrap session. Hope you all had a lovely weekend.
