Did you hear her??

Ugh, what a disaster those blood tests turned out to be - the women that tried (yup, it was unsuccessful) were so awesome - managed to find a vein (looks like she's inherited her mothers non-existent veins!) and get the needle in, and blood started filling into the vial, but then I think she wiggled and it popped out - so we have to go back. It was the only good vein, and it's bruised - poor baby!! I was bummed, mainly because of the dramas of the whole thing, but now that we have to do it all over again, and she knows what the place means - good golly - it's going to be fun!!!
Scrapping in the weekend was brilliant - so good in fact, that we've booked in again for the 29th! Yipee!
I haven't even taken photos lately, so there is no layouts or pictures to post! Slack huh - oh, and no scrapping since sunday, because my ink is empty! Might grab one when I'm out after with Molly at speech class (which is such a waste of my time!!)

A glimpse of summer

Yes! We have blue sky and sunshine today, wonder how long it'll last! It was a quiet week with T'K gone - though that was shattered when she came home a day early! Though it gave us the chance to go try on her new uniform (which comes to a grand total of $525!!) Skirt, two short sleeved blouses, socks, vest and blazer - I do admit though, it looks super smart on. Then she asks to go see about shoes - sketchers no less at $100!! - oooh, though you do get a free drink bottle (must be gold plated!). If only I had that kinda money to spend on scrap supplies LOL!!
Well, my little machine is working hard out - mind you, I'm actually kind of surprised that there isn't more washing, not that I'm complaining mind!!
Still waiting for my DT stuff - think I've missed the boat on deadlines this time round - unfortunately they had my wrong address, so bums!!
Monday is the day I'm calling the lab - I need to get Molly's blood drawn - I'm really really really dreading it - she's such a strong, stubborn little mite - even when she was sick with pneumonia in September, it took four of us to hold her down!! What's she going to be like well??
But, tomorrow is my day - from 10-4pm I'm down at paperworx scrapping my heart out (well more like chatting, and doing a little scrapping!! LOL). Yay - can't wait - a day off from Molly barking orders at me LOL. T'K is spending the weekend with my mum, she was busting to see the puppies. We're heading out once I've hung a load of washing out - Boodles needs a bath!

and then there were two...

yup, the wee girl died too, she passed away on Wednesday afternoon. I feel so bad for mum, she tried so hard for that wee girl...but on talking with another breeder, she suspects that the four pups that died were premature - which makes sense because they were virtually bald on their heads, so if mum does decide to continue breeding, there will be strict mating ground rules from now on - think Jessie was mated over a 5 day period, and that makes perfect sense, another 5 days for those wee ones inside Mum, would have made all the difference.

Been scrapping some too, and it's great - as much as these kids are driving me completely potty, I have done some pages. Have done two for this months "Get Real" theme (one to go), a challenge for scrapbooking by design which is now up and running and looking great!

This was for the first challenge using 2 patterned papers.

Yesterday was glorious, today, overcast and fairly cool - typical Dunedin I guess! Lucky T'Keyah is off tomorrow morning with her Dad and Step-mother to Alexandra, til Friday next week (now if only I could get rid of Molly - gee imagine having all that time to MYSELF!) Though, next Sunday is scrap Sunday which I can't wait for!

I'm still waiting for my first assignment for scrapbooking Annies - I know one other team member had her box in the middle of December - waa! I want mine! Don't know if it's lost in the post or what...very frustrating!!

Right, off to hang washing and then do a challenge for SBO - Lara has organised a mini-crop - hope those poxie babes get well soon!!
