My Dear Kate

Well......this is the last page that I created during my days off, before returning back to work for my next rotationof shifts. Its funny how this Layout came to be.......I was ready for bed on my last available scrapping day...I was thinking to myself that I hadnt managed to acheive many Layouts in these days off.....so on the spur of the moment I got up from bed, pulled out this beautiful photo and some papers and put it all together...in no time at all. In fact when I sat back and looked...I wasnt sure if I even liked it or not.......I think that it came together so quickly that it hadnt had a chance to grow on me yet. Now...I must add......this is not my norm...I usually have photos for ages, procrastinate over the papers and then find it difficult to come up with a design....maybe the new Freestyle book is getting to me......lol
Ohh...also, its a pity the photo looks so cock eyed...its actually dead straight in real life...you have to believe me on that one.
Anyway the Layout is of Briony and her dear friend Kate from Qld. They dont get to see each other very often but that just doesnt matter with them...they are friends for life. I must add that I received an absolutley beautiful email from Kate today...she really has the most lovely nature and we all love her heaps.

I guess I must also tell you all about my scrapping news.....I mentioned it in my last post and I know it created suspense for a few people...lol
Its going to sound really corny now....but....I received an email from Krys at Scrapbooking Memories asking if I would take part in a product challenge......WOULD I?...are you kidding...of course I would!...I was thrilled.....in fact Im sure she probably thinks Im a total looney, I think overjoyed probably describes my reaction. I was just 'overjoyed' she new my name and that she new I had an email address.....sheer joy from such a little thing.

I worked today, came home to find my dear Briony tucked up in bed.....apparently where she had been all day. She has a fever and a sore neck...Ive popped her in the bath, dosed her with panadol and now Im watching her like a hawk. I so wish I wasnt working tomorrow...I feel she needs me.
My dear Brent is still not home...he has been visiting his new girlfriend in Waikerie, he left after footy yesterday and hopefully will be home by his 8pm curfew tonight.

No other news from the home of Mardi...thankyou so much to everyone who has been bothering to read my news (such as it is)..and I really appreciate anyone leaving a comment. I would never have realised how nice it would be to receive a comment until I actually started this Blog myself, now I realise that just a 'hello' makes me feel good...so thanks.
Happy Sunday...xxx Mardi xxx
