Crusing the internet… I admit

Crusing the internet… I admit I do my share. I take time while eating meals usually – is that bad? to cruise the internet. My home page is the NZ Herald, which is basically the online version of one of the countrys biggest newspapers, currently I’m watching for news of Tropical Cyclone Funa and whether it will reach us, but I also have other regular stops in my day. I have a few blogs I visit, and I admit I’m not a daily visitor, I usually catch up a month at a time. And I usually skim through the unread topic titles at 2peas, to see if there is anything I want to read (hey look there are new calls out for Memory Makers Magazine!)

One of my newest regular-stops-while-eating-lunch-or-breakfast is a new video blog created by Leah Fung (of BHG Scrapbooks etc fame) and Johanna Peterson (BHG Lifestyle TV). It’s called Leah’s desktop diary. I just caught up with the 4th video about a card making buffet. The 2 ladies are relaxed and fun and I know Johanna and she will be entertainment all by herself with the slip-ups she will make – sorry johanna! as they show you tips and techniques. They have competitions too. A cool idea. Add it to your favourites. I have them playing in the background as I scrapbook. Although they are only 10 minutes long. I need hours. lol

Exciting mail in my inbox. A million little things is having a sale from Tuesday onwards.. Kiwiscraps is also having a sale which started yesterday. 50% off sizzix. Of most interest to me is that they have 30% off all their patterned papers. All of them. I nearly clicked the shop now button – except then I looked around my room and realised I have enough patterned paper to pave a road from here to Wellington to actually pick it up and that I perhaps did not need more. Some of you might though. lol.

I also got an email from the owner of Bachcare to say I’d won a weekend away in a competition they had. YEA!!! SO COOL! It might be good therapy for the boys to head back to Hahei – getting back in the water might be a good thing. We have used bachcare for 4 years now, every summer we rent a bach and these people take care of finding us a bach (there are billions on their website) and looking after us while we are away. Right now I can hear the northern hemisphere saying in unison. “What the heck is a bach?”

Happy Birthday to Shauna – for her birthday she is packing up for 3 weeks and going to Reno, NV for alternative Cancer treatment. If you get a chance, stop by her blog and which her the best of luck. We need positive thoughts wrapped right around the world for this special lady.

Abby’s arm is 100% better. Doc said to let her go bike riding, trampolining, climbing ladders, wrestling with her brothers, fishing with a net off wharves and jumping on bouncy castles. All of which we diligently stopped her from doing whilst she had a broken collarbone. ;o)
