Whoo Hoot Wednesday

Just a quick note here to let you know that I have given up on bloglines as I found more and more blogs were not updating on there, and I am now with Google Reader. So far, they seem much better; the layout is not as good as bloglines, but at least it updates!

Well, another Whoo Hoot Wednesday actually on a Wednesday; I am really on a roll!! OK, let's get started:

Another nice day - well, a little cloudy at times, but still nice and warm

An almost-empty laundry basket - this weather is great for doing all my washing, love it!

Sketchbook Retreat only a week and a half away, can't wait!!

Getting some journalling written down and page kits organised for the retreat, and a couple of cards made

Newly cleaned and organised scrap room - feel so comfortable in here now

Christmas coming soon - I know that it is all a marketing ploy, but I personally love it when the shops start putting out all their Christmas decorations and playing Christmas music; it adds such a festive air to my shopping (I am aware I am probably alone in this and that most people think it is terrible that shops start sooner every year, but I don't care, I love it!)

Told my hubby that I will be doing some shopping for the retreat, so now I can place a few orders and not feel too guilty - just love scrapping shopping!

My sweet girl who always wants to give me snuggles and cuddles and a DH who, despite usually being not-so-great around the house and with childcare, is looking after DD for the whole weekend whilst I go to the Retreat - and he is not even complaining about it! (Thanks, Honey)

Skype, so I can see and talk to my sister, Nick, in London as often as I like (when we are online at the same time!)

Umm, that is all I can think of right now. I have no photos to post for you, as the only things I have started and completed are some cards, one of which I didn't get a photo, and the other which hasn't been sent yet, and as for scrapping, I am gettting layouts started but putting them in kits for the retreat, so nothing is finished. At least I am back doing some scrapping after a few weeks of not doing anything; that seems to be what I usually do, scrap for a while, then have a couple of weeks where I just can't seem to do anything but procrastinate - must need that break sometimes, I guess. OK, hope everyone has a great week, and maybe I will have something to show you on the weekend as looks like Liz is coming over Friday night for a scrapping session - yay!!

Cool list, Tracy!

Yes, I absolutely adore washing dried outside on the clothes line, especially sheets! Nothing like getting into a bed with sheets dried that way, especially if you put them straight on the bed from the line.

Love the list and like you just can't wait for the retreat! Not sure what the guys are going to get up to?

very cool list there Tracy. Gotta love an almost empty laundry basket. Not many sleeps until the retreat and you sounds like your getting very organised.

That's a great list! You sound just a *little* excited about the retreat! I am too!
All the hubbies and kids should get together at a park for part of the weekend - wouldn't that be a hoot?!

Which blogs haven't been updating for you? I've got Google Reader as well as BL, and I have 5 blogs on GR that I noticed weren't updating, but if you know of any others that I might read, would love to know so I don't "miss out" on reading new posts :-)

Hmm now will the retreat be more fun than the shopping you 'need' to go on the retreat LOL!?!

Hi Tracy - first time visitor to your blog. Thats a great Whoo Hoo list and have to agree with you about line drying too. Am off to a retreat down here in CHCH as well but haven't given it a thought about what to pack just yet - might just take everything as apparently theres plenty of room. LOL

I love Christmas - love the hustle and bustle and the music - I don' like to actually shop as it gets closer - just leave the chocolates and things to buy just so I can get 'that' feeling.
Great list!
