Goodness, it's late...

...too late to think of a clever title. Before we get started, I just want to let you all know about the problem I am having with bloglines. Apparently, when I post on my blog, Bloglines is not updating to let everyone know. Thanks to Sandra, who alerted me to this - she is having the same problem, and is having no joy with Blogger, who are not replying to her attempts to contact them. So, we will see what happens. I have to admit, I did wonder why I wasn't getting as many comments on my blog...thought maybe I wasn't being witty or interesting enough or something...lol!!

I haven't been online or scrapping too much lately with the holidays and being at my Sister's place in Tauranga, and I have really missed it. So, I am a bit behind with my Whoo Hoots, but will catch up on Wednesday.

We had a great time at Leanne's place; Aurelia just loved spending every day with her cousins, even though the two girls fought heaps! Just like siblings, I guess. They miss each other now, but at least kindy starts back tomorrow, so Aurelia will have her friends to play with. We spent a day in Rotorua, going up the gondola and down the luge, which was heaps of fun.

This is Aurelia and I on the tail of her cousin, Caleb. Speed machines!!
Whilst I was there, Leanne asked me to take some photos of her kids - so here are my gorgeous niece and nephew. Not the best photo, but believe me, it wasn't easy getting a good shot of both of them!


The kids playing on the tramp at Lee's, and Aurelia having a melt-down - she was up so early there, and was pretty tired a lot of the time. She actually fell asleep in the car a couple of times, which she hasn't done in over a year.

Ok, now I have caught up on all my computer stuff, I am going to spend some time this week organising my scrap room, and then making up some kits for the Sketchbook Retreat - I am beginning to get excited now, only a few weeks to go. I want to be really organised so I have kits and don't have to take my whole scrap room! And maybe I will even get some scrapping done! That would be nice; I have a few ideas floating around in my head I would like to get down on paper. Right, off to bed! See you Wednesday for Whoo Hoots...well, I won't promise!!

Some cute photos there.
Totally with you on the tidy up of the scrapbook room I had to move mine stash from my son's room(he is at uni)to the games room as we had visitors(and son home in two weeks) and now the pool table is piled high, this is also the room Glenns office lady works in twice a week so I need to do a big clean up before she comes.

I am finding with some Blogger blogs and posts that i check a blog and there isn't a post and then check back at the end of the day and there is one that was left like this one 2 days ago!

I can't wait for the Retreat either!

Hi I'm a lurker on your blog from Sketch book (by the way loved your sketch book olympic entries - gorgeous)and was at Senz in the weekend and a lovely lady told me about google reader (the similar thing to bloglines)I have just finished loading all my Blogs into it so will let you know when you update if it lets me know (I'm a newbie at this so might not work due to my not doing it right tho -lol)

I had added you and Sandra to Google Reader, but keep forgetting to check it! I'm just used to checking Bloglines.

Love the photo of the meltdown ... I keep forgetting to capture some of those on camera - I think they would make great layouts! You can't just scrap only the good times, ROFL!
