Hopping into easter with happy thoughts ......

OK I don't really know where the week has gone but she has gone and I haven't really been doing much scrappin' I've been busy with work again. The boss has been out of town for most of the week which has left me a bit short on time and the midnight one o'clock bedtime is not really agreeing with me at the moment but I shall get over it. This week the kids had a full on week with their out of school activities. Then there was grandparents day and I had to dart off early to get to work like many of the parents and grandparents that I had seen darting towards their cars in a hurry - poor us!!!! I have on the other hand completed a few things that I thought that I would share with you so lets get on with it shall we .....
On Friday night I sat up fairly late due to the fact that one of my dear girlfriends from work was marrying her long time love of 14 years and two kids later and I was asked to do the table decos and this is what we came up with... The florist god love her said that it would take me about 15 minutes each to do them well it took Jen 1 hour one each thing, sitting on the kitchen floor in a pool of water in the end and come the sixth one I was nearly in tears and begged my DH not to make me do it but he did come on your nearly finished so I completed them all and had them back down to the restaurant by 9pm Friday night - I put them in the fridge at work so they wouldn't fall apart on me....



Now for the bit of stuff I had time to do in amongst split shifts, the house work, organising a new car which will be here by next week (will share photos when it arrives), kids stuff and the rest of the boring bits which don't involve some paper or at the moment I should say sewing machine....
I have been busy stalking Melissa Goodsell's blog site whom I find fantastic and she comes up with all these wonderful ideas. At the moment between Mel and Fiona Carter they are doing a Egg-xtravaganza which is great for me as we are having Easter dinners etc. here and there are some really cool bits and bobs over there so if you want a look I have put Melissa's blog in my blog list so just click and away you will go...

Day 1 of the Eggceptional Egg-xtravaganza was to make some tags or a card.. I happened to do both. My lovely little easter stamps came from my dear friend Lisa Johnston who is a stamp' in up! Demonstrator and has some wonder stuff.. yep they have papers to stamps to inks to everything. If you haven't already had a party you should organise one as this girl is a gem and everyone loves an excuse to get together - oh before I forget girls there is a new catalogue out so be sure to check it out....



Can't live without matching paper and of course a bit of ribbon....



These are the cards that I am using for my family get together which we are having early due to my work commitments over easter....



Day 3 of the Eggceptional Egg-xtravaganza was bags and this is my little effort. They are so cute and the kids love them. We are going to use ours for the egg hunt here on Tuesday night. I only had to make three as there will be Johno, Katie and Willow in our backyard looking for loads of yummy chocolate to fill their bags with...




Now I know you are going to ask where are the bunnies when you click on the link of Melissa's because that is what Day 2 and Day 4 are but at the moment my stuffed little bunnies are getting made so as soon as I finish making them I will put them up that is a promise but for now I have to go get a cup of coffee and then get ready to do the morning shift at work. So for now have a great Sunday morning hopefully your day is filled with lots of love and I will be back shortly. Lots of hugs
Oh!! Before I forget I would just like to say a big CONGRATULATIONS to my Uncle Wayne we are thrilled that your blood tests for cancer came back normal so a special hug goes out to you xoxoxox
