Friday night had a great tea and met some girls that I only knew by name online, It was great to put a name to a face. Spent the night in the crop room just chatting and looking at some fantastic work.

The classes were all great and again Heidi was so inspiring. Her handwriting class was fantastic. The mall was chock a block with her products and lots of others - my suitcase weighed 9kg more on the way home :0). The gala dinner was a great night with all the girls having great costumes - especially the cocktails girls.

Well it's extra time in the footy and I have no nails left - or bugger Bowen has intercepted bugger bugger :0(

BOOK FAIR TODAY!!!

Well today was a very busy day.... I had an appointment in Wagga at 10.00 which is about an hour away then I had to be back by 12.00 for the children's book fair. Well as usual my doctor was running late therefore I was late to the school. Well chelsea was so upset as she thought I was not going to see her work. By the time I got to her classroom she started to cry, then I neally started crying because I felt so bad for being late.  But I was able to see her work and of course it was fabulous!!! and then K, 1 and 2 sang to the parents.

The kids picked out there books and we read them tonight by the fire. So Chelsea was happy with the books he selected.

Royce has his cross country tomorrow and Chelsea has Jazz so my day is pretty busy tomorrow, I still have to pack bags for ISC and organise my kids for the weekend. But I will get there :0), can't wait for the weekend.

My Saturday with Rebekka Erickson

Well I headed off this morning at 8.00am to Young, which is about an hour away from Gundagai to do an "Off the Page" workshop with Rebekka Erickson. It was a great day, Rebekka is very nice and the classes were very casual. We made three items - a Quote Sampler Book a Spiral Bound Book and a CD Tin Mini Album. Her range of papers are quite impressive. Iw ill post some samples when I finish them off.

BRONZE AWARD

Excellent work Chelsea!!!! Today at the School Assembly Chelsea received her Bronze award. Our school as a system for crediting outstanding students. There are 3 levels Bronze, Silver and the biggie GOLD. To get to each level the students needs to have received 5 achievement awards. So each time you get 5 you go up a level it is very hard to get to Gold and not all students do so by the end of the year. Chelsea was very excited and posed of course for the camera.

30th Birthday

Today was to be my good friend Kellie's 30th birthday.

Happy Birthday Kellie 

Kellie died while travelling in India in June 2003. At first it was thought that Kellie was a victim of the heatwave which had caused 100's of deaths already in India. When actually Kellie had menigitis. She was so full of life and loved to travel. She had been to New Zealand, Thailand & Vietnam & for 2 years she spend time working throughout England, Europe & Africa.

    I miss her very much and will have a few wines for her tonight.

                            

THE KIDS RUN THEIR CROSS COUNTRY

The kids competed in the yearly School Cross Country on Thursday of last week. They both competed very well and received a ribbon for their efforts. Royce had to run 2km with the 8 & 9 years boys. He came in 3rd and is now off to the next level to compete for Riverina representation. Chelsea ran 1km and was so proud of herself her very first Cross Country and she crossed the line in first place with the biggest smile.

Well Done to you both!!!
