....its definatly a better week....

24 May 2007

... Its such a relief to finally sort out an argument...to wave the white hankerchief... make some points clear without arguing...and to finally hug and say 'I love you'...all is good again....things hopefuly will improve around the house...and if nothing else I know that our relationship is strong.
...and that is the best and most important thing in the world..... mess and disorganisation are only superficial.
Ok...what else is happening...other then the usual routine everyday things that make up our lives....

...I finished my Ken Follet book 'Whiteout' (Megan...when you are talking to Ken... let him know it was fabulous!) ...I then borrowed Jodi Picoult 'Perfect Match' from the library...and finished it in two days.... Im looking forward to borrowing another today...Im really enjoying reading at the moment.... hence ...very few layouts to share.


....I have decided to risk my friendship (Im sure they wont mind) and share a silly photo from Saturday with Belinda and Fleur ...these two girls are so young..... and absolutley beautiful...(I was like the thorn between the roses)... and even though they are both pulling silly faces.... they are still gorgeous.....
oh..and then I might as well...really risk it... it was so funny really..once we got started it was addictive... Im sure everyone in Maccas thought we were totally bonkers !!
...... I have finished my very last Memory Bugs DT layout.... this month using the chatterbox papers .... I wish everyone who has entered the 2008 DT the very best of luck....
I used an old photo of my kids and cousins on Kangaroo Island..... the title is 'Time'.... even though every time I read it I think "who's Tim?" ...and "Lucky Tim can fly"...lol
I think Ill change that 'E' to a pink instead of a brown.


Ohh...and I will leave with a handy tip...

Tip # 46 -

When refilling Staz-on ink pad with bottle of refill ink....if nozzle becomes clogged...do not give it an extra hard squeeze!!

This may result in ink refill contents immediatly ejecting from bottle at such force they miss ink pad...completley cover cutting mat...timber desk.... chipboard alphas ....stack of cardstock.... ideas folder..... and everything else in a 6 mile radius.

Do yu have any idea how hard it is to stop the ink spreading....the closest cloth is the length of the hall way away...Im terrified of where the ink is running.... all I could do is flap my arms like a chicken...moaning...OMG OMG OMG.....

I have to say though...I am incredibly lucky.... it really was minimal damage...and yes...things are now permanatly ink stained...but thats ok...and my fingernails will eventually be white again Im sure....

have a great day....

  2. LMAO, my daughter stood on my inkpad and then walked it all through the house... Much to my husbands disgust he was looking after her and had to clean it up.

    She still has the black footprint on her pink socks that reminds me everytime I put them on her!!!

  4. lol Mardi....what a funny post...great photos, crazy ink story...you sound so much happier too! I will pass on your message to old mate Ken who I am sure would be thrilled to hear from the woman whose husband is the brother of his son's ex wife lol!! That sounds much more confusing than my sister-in-law was once married to Ken's son. Can you tell I need more sleep and less jobs to do?!

    Better go before I embarrass myself :-D

  5. Oh,I had to laugh at your description of the mishap. Glad things aren't too bad.
    I'm so relieved for you that the argument has been resolved. Sometimes you just gotta clear the air, get it all out on the table, etc etc.
    Lovely layout :)

  10. Oh Mardi you crack me up, brought back memories of me doing the same thing with red kindy glitz except it was hanging off me, called hubby to help me and he thought I had stabbed myself with the scalpel. LOL. So glad you are all cool again with Brent. And you are gorgeous don't ever doubt that.
    Great layout too!
