If you like food...
You seriously have to check out my friend Dani's site, The Kitchen Playground. I have nowhere near enough skill to keep up with her amazing reportoire of culinary delights, but I still check her blog every day and she never ceases to make me drool.
artsy fartsy
I thought I'd take a leaf out of Jan's book and post some pictures of a few artsy fartsy projects I've been working on lately. Excuse the quality of the photos, all the projects are on display at The Scrapbook Scene and I didn't take them out of their pockets or off the shelves to photograph them.

Blah Blah Blah...excuses excuses
I need a serious injection of mojo. A big fat injection right in the keester. I don't know where the time goes sometimes. It feels like before I know it weeks have gone past and I seem to have achieved very little. There seems to be so much going on and so little time to do it in.
Tomorrow we have a session at the local primary school where Max will hopefully be going next year. He's really excited about. I'm just in disbelief that my baby starts school next year.
I managed to get a place for Jemima at the Centre I want her to go to for 3 Year Old Kinder next year. Phew! Glad that's sorted.
The Trivia Night at kinder is in 2 weeks and there is SO much to do in the meantime I have over 2,000 lucky tickets to print off and cut up, not to mention the millions of other bits and pieces to do.
I did Kinder duty today. It was lovely to see Max playing with his friends. His play has definitely changed since first term, lots more co-operative play with others.
I did 3 days of relief teaching at Haileybury last week. I felt very out of my comfort zone but I think I managed ok. It's difficult going to back to something that was once second nature after a 5 year break.
My Beginners series at The Scrapbook Scene starts again this week. I've changed the way I do the class and I'm really hopeful it will be much much better. Fingers crossed.
I need to come up with some ideas for classes for next month. It's very hard to be creative when you HAVE to be.
Not much more to say really. I'll be back tomorrow with some pictures.

I've been Tagged!
I’ve been tagged by Dani.
My gorgeous friend Dani has the most mouth watering website, check it out here . She is a seriously amazing cook, so amazing that I think she should actually be called a Culinary Genious. I popped over to her site yesterday and again this afternoon only to discover yet more mouth watering recipes from her. You really need to make her site a regular place to visit.
Anyhoo, back to the tagging part...
Firstly, here are the rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share seven facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird
3. Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog
So here goes...7 facts about me. Try and stay awake.
1. I like really really cold food and drink. I like ice blocks in my drink and I always keep fruit in the fridge. I can't drink water straight out of tap, it makes me gag. I need it to be really cold. I don't actually drink anything hot, not tea or coffee or milo.
2. I get really anxious at the thought of phoning people. I have no problems talking on the phone if people call me but I hate being the one to pick up the phone and ask to speak to someone on the other end if I don't know who has answered. I'd much rather sms or email or Skype and get people to call me when they're free. The weird part is that complete strangers/businesses don't bother me, but phoning friends freaks me out.
3. I watch Coronation Street on UKTV
4. I don't like nude toast. Butter has to go ALL the way to the edge, no dry bits of toast allowed. I can't have anybody else put vegemite on my bread either.
5. I'm fascinated by Criminology and Forensic Medicine. Love it. I could watch murder mystery shows till the cows come home...CSI, Law and Order, Morse, Frost, Lewis, Taggart. I read Kathy Reichs and Patricia Cornwell. Recently I've become intrigued by religious conspiracy theories. I love solving a good mystery.
6. I am completely crap at Maths. Completely and utterly useless at it. I am 40 years old and never learnt how to do long division. In year 10 the Maths teacher used to get us to write our names on the blackboard if we needed help and she call us up one by one. I wasn't allowed to write my name on the board after term 1 because she said I took up too much time. I passed maths in year 11 by 1 mark and I swear that was for spelling my name right.
7. I hate high heeled shoes...not only are they uncomfortable but they make me feel like a drag Queen. I don't own a dress and the only skirt I own is denim and long.
So there you go. Boring hey.
In return I am tagging...

Oh Happy Day
Easter Monday. No more buns, Easter Bunny has been. I tried to teach the kids a little bit about the meaning of easter from a religious sense, not sure how that went down considering I really didn't want to talk about the crucifixion at all. It's actually really tricky explaining Easter the little children. Christmas is much easier, everyone understands Birthdays and babies being born.
As you can tell from my list of Blog links, I like to read other people's blogs. It's been interesting over the past few days to see how other people approach easter and what it means to them. I think I like to acknowledge Easter Sunday and the message of rebirth and ascending to Heaven moreso than Good Friday and the Crucifixion, but that's just me.
Anyhoo, as I was blogsurfing this morning I came across this...
There are very few songs or pieces of music that give me goosebumps but this is one of them.
Wherever you are, whatever you believe in....Have a very Happy Day.
