So today was another busy one. Mum stuff. Taxi type stuff. Running the kiddos all over the place. Just like most other Mums. And I washed my car. Seriously, no really, I did. Santa gave us a box of car cleaning equipment for Christmas in the hopes that the car , which lives outside and grows moss and other green living things, would get a little love. Here we were, near on 6 months later and still the car had no love. Santa had such good intentions.
So I cleaned. My car is actually a nice shade of blue. Abby drew on the footpath with chalk while I scrubbed that car. The next door neighbour drove past on her way home from getting her groceries and just about drove off the road at the sight of me cleaning the car. ONce she got home she came over to my house with a camera to capture the moment.
I’m glad she did. It may not happen again.
I have added a new link in my sidebar – it’s so good to have the NZ stores supporting the sale of my book. So I have added Kiwiscraps to my sidebar, they are taking pre-orders and have had such a good response that they have managed to get a price reduction with the distributors – so thankyou Kiwiscraps! That link will take you straight to the book on their site, with editorial reviews etc. If you see my book for sale on any other NZ sites (or anywhere else, for that matter!) please link me and I’ll link in my sidebar. Nothing like supporting those that support you :o)
And yes. I have now taken the book into the big bad world and the smile is slowly creeping across my face. Braden’s teacher loved it. LOL. She didn’t give it back! My baby is having it’s first night away. lol you should have seen me when Braden came home from school, I was holding my hand out for it. “Um she kept it over night”. Holy Moly. Stress a mother out.
Anyhoooo

This is my ‘note to self’. yep I’m doing them out of order and yep this one survived the NZ post test. All delivered back home safely date stamped. Cool.
Did anyone else enter the Scrapbook Creations Colour comp? I think it closes tomorrow. I did an entry. I saw Viv Bonder talking about it at some point and decided to put it in my list of ‘assignments to do’ – if I do that, it actually gets done, lol. I enjoyed the challenge. I did green and black.
