fungi


ginormous slabs of the stuff... completely edible & if you like mushrroms... soo tasty!
Jase was given these to take home for his family, he did & we enjoyed them!

Away to my cousins wedding up North of Auckland
Haven't been back to Auckland for about 3 or 4 years... I've missed the shopping... & since the wedding is up Matakana way... I won't even get much shopping in (& there's the need for money for shopping too LOL). But finding something to wear that I like is the difficulty I have at the moment.

Continue to be busy with setting things up for the new year at Playcentre, organising a couple of weekend events and settling the girls into school too. Went out for lunch with Ethan last week & realised we won't be able to do this when he starts school on April 1st. We will have to have a 'date' in the weekends or school holidays instead.

Just over 2 weeks till Scrap Retreat South starts. Wee bit to do before then....

Anyone know how to get a 7 year old & a 6 year old girl to tidy & then keep their room tidy? Your suggestions gratefully received (housefairy has limited success due to their mother's inability to follow a 'program')

Slabs of fungi? Never seen them quite like that, but I do love mushrooms.

Have fun at the wedding, and hope you get some shopping in too!

That's why it's been so quiet - you're out enjoying a wedding! Maybe collect up everything every night and don't give it back until?? And then keep doing it

Had a little laugh when I saw the photo Lara. I wondered if we weren't scrapbookers, would we consider taking a photo of a sliced up mushroom? I love them too, remember when we were in Oamaru, picking two whole washing baskets full in one day. I froze them, dried them (unsuccessfully might I add). They are divine :)
Oh and sorry I can't help with the bedroom tidy thing. When you work it out, can you let me know please. :)

They are some mushrooms - don't think I have ever seen them that big. Hope you had a great time away at the wedding too.

Purging

The stuff can take over.  My stuff was covering my work surface and much of the bedroom floor.  I had to do a big sort out. I was brutal.   Stuff...ready to go. I packaged it in some storage totes I had that needed a new home (I’m waiting for my new CTMH travel system to arrive) and listed it on s local trading site.  It’s gone now. It doesn’t look pretty but I have a desk space and things are organised. The rest of my supplies now fit in this cupboard. Since the ‘purge’ I have had the space to create.  It feels good and it’s great to be able to get to my desk. A few pages made since the tidy up...and a box of 20 cards!

my week so far...

This week is turning out great!  Having time on Monday (Otago Anniversary Day) to scrap with Lynley was just the best beginning!  Lynley was putting together some beginner class stuff that she intends to do soon – it looked great!  I got home to an email from The Scrapbook Outlet NZ asking if I would be a casual/oncall designer for their Design Team – of course I accepted – can’t wait to learn from Rach , Donna & Shani!  Then today I get an email from Jo (subeditor @ Up2Scrap ) accepting one of my submissions – I did send a few mind you so as you can imagine I’m buzzing!  I have packaged the LO ready to send tomorrow after Playcentre. Need to get back to reality though – Mum & Dad’s 50th Birthday this weekend, have to work out what I’m going to say, sort some table decorations & not to mention some way of sharing pictures of them when I only have Friday night & Saturday to do it!  Have to do some Playcentre Admin work this ev...
