I Know, I know, I know

Yes I know that Valentines Day is not overly huge here in Aus and we don't do gifts for our children to share with all of their class friends and we don't do gifts for their teachers but how could I resist this very American letterbox (from the Love Struck Cart) to collect all of MY Valentines in (ha ha what Valentines). Isn't it so cute? The little arm goes up and down-hi you've got mail. My American friends must think I am nuts but we don't have letter boxes like these. Anyway i thought that i would make two small treat bags for the two ladies at work and put them in here (I haven't made them yet so i will show you when i do)

Now one of my very good friends husband is turning 50 in March and he wants a Cowboy party so I ordered this cartridge especially to do the decorations (Old West) and here are two very happy cowboys with their Peachy Keen stamped faces. If you have boys this cart is great. I will show you other decorations as i make them.

Now boy did i have dramas at the hairdresses the other day. My hairdresser is away in Ireland so i had to go to the local up the road. Well let me tell you we kind of had a little misunderstanding about how much you cut of in a trim. What could i do after the first cut where she only left me with an inch of hair-tell her to stop? Well no i didn't and the end result is well here is what my husband said "you look like an escaped criminal from the ladies prison". Joe just laughed and said "don't worry mum it's summer and hair grows faster in summer" does it? Gosh I hope so. After a nights sleep it still doesn't look any better and every time i pass a mirror i give myself a fright. Oh well what can you do its only hair, it will grow back.

Now other news which i really didn't want to tell you but i will anyway, i went and joined the weight loss programme with Tony Ferguson today, its time, i need to do something. The only thing i will really miss is my cappuccinos with my new machine i got for Christmas. I can only now have decaf and a tiny tiny tiny bit of milk. Enough said and i will keep you up dated but not until i reach my first goal.

Only one week of holidays left i cant believe how fast they have gone.

And Joe went well with his laser op on Monday-thank you all for your wishes. That was his very last one under a general anaesthetic-yoo hoo-any other treatment he can have at her surgery. It's now entirely up to Joe as to how many more treatments he wants if any. (for those of you who don't know what i am talking about my son was born with a birth mark on the left side of his face, although you only notice it the first time you meet him it is something that bothers him and he has been having laser surgery since he was 6 months old-his goes really deep) and i must say that never, not once has anyone ever teased or bullied him about it. So how good is that.

Boy this is a LLLLOOOOONNNNNNNNgggggggggggg post.

OK I have run out of things to say so have a good night/day where ever you are in the world.

Thanks for making it to the end of this post and visiting me today.
