School holidays keep a girl

School holidays keep a girl busy. I’m in the process of trying to get ahead before I leave for Canada, yet I seem to be falling behind. I always have a list of the scrapping stuff I have to do, today I started a list of the very-important-yet-non-scrapping things too. Already it feels better knowing this stuff is getting written down. I used to have the best memory ever. Now I’m terrified something will fall out every time someone tells me something new. lol.

The weekend was busy with friends to stay and a huge scrappink crop.
Challenges, games, giveaways, raffles, etc etc. Scrappink is a worldwide event and I think our own effort here in Pukekohe raised a good amount of money for Breast Cancer Awareness. Here is one of the highlights of the day.

The shortbread was particularly yummy :o)

So back to Canada – I’m 8 sleeps away from leaving. One of my biggest dilemmas is whether to leave the 4 frogs (newly turned from tadpoles) in the care of my mum, or the housesitter. I know I’m more comfortable sending my Mum down to the shop to buy flies than someone I know less well. Neither will be particularly pleased. Perhaps this is really the issue. lol.

Janine did the Stampin’ Up! Draw and the winner was Vanessa MacKereth.

I’ve been working with BasicGrey Figgy Pudding this week. A favourite already.

Ok short and sweet – back to commitments and ticking off that list before I go away.

    Oh, I can totally relate to the failing memory. Even when I write stuff down, I forget. Like stuff on our big calendar… I forget to check it and the kids get a sandwich sent on their school pizza days. *roll eyes*

    Your frog story made me laugh. It reminded me of my friend whose son had a lizard, and they would have to go to the pet store weekly to get crickets. Or were they grasshoppers. One time, she got some duds, and they were dead in the paper bag by the time she got them home… so she had to use a stick to get them to wiggle around so the lizard would be able see them.

    I can’t wait until you’re in Canada. Wooooohooooo!
