A gift from my boy!

12 October 2006

Im going to try and make it a quick post for today.... Im having one of those last minute..kids are coming home...cleaning frenzies....although I have no idea why seeing as it is as tidy as it ever gets.....and is about to be totally destroyed by beachy, just been to Grandmas place.. kids.

I had the most lovely morning tea at RSS yesterday...I caught up with Cheryl..... and Belinda came in with Madelin and baby Makenzie....who is just too cute. I actually stayed about 4 hours....chatting and shopping...although I was incredibly restrained and really only bought cardstock.

Just a quick thankyou to all the girls who have left blog comments and emailed me with help on photoshop tutorials and 'the font thing' .... I still havebt been able to get the font thing to work...but after reading Kathie's email...I think I may have downloaded the wrong version. ...so stay tuned on both counts.

Well my darling boy arrived home from work last night.....covered from head to toe in potting mix as usual.......he walked in calling out "Hey Mum...come outside and see what Ive brought for you".......well my mind obviously started ticking..I was thinking how lovely...a nice tray of Petunias (to replace the ones he gave to me....and then like an indian giver...took back and gave to his Grandma..LOL) ...or maybe some vegetable seedlings.....or another lovely plant of some description...... but nothing prepared me for this...........

I mean apparently this is 'top quality sh$t'.... not just everday mulch...its THE BEST!! Bless him, I tried really hard to look appropriatly excited and Im sure it will be very handy....I guess my vegies will be thrilled to bits with their new mulch...... but I just cant remember the last time I said ..."what I wouldnt give for a bucket of Top Quality Mulch"..LOL

Well...lastly Ill just upload my layout that appeared in SM this month....Its an oldie...but I still smile when I remember how excited Mitch was with this new rod.....and the joy at catching this fish..... we actually fish a lot (well...at least Ian and the kids do)...so catching a fish in its self wasnt that exciting...but apparently when it is on the end of your new rod...that makes it VERY special..LOL


and while Im at it.....this is my layout in SC this month............. I was particularly sentimental about this layout....it was our beach shack......sold earlier this year after being in our family for may years....so its really lovely to have this keepsake and reminder.

  7. Oh what a sweetie you have there. How did you get him to pose for that photo!?

    I missed the beach shack layout cos I rarely buy SC (actually... I pretty much only get the contributors copies... and I'm not a very regular contributor!). It's a lovely theme for a layout - a lovely way to remember it.

  12. hi Mardi
    youre a lucky girl to get that mulch- he is a good boy!!
    love the fish Lo, and I will have to get SC to have a good look at the beach shack Lo- Alisters family sold their beach house 2 yrs ago- it had been in the family for 50 yrs- it was gut wrenching, but they had to do it unfortunately
