Can you believe it is October???? Another year is flashing before our eyes ... in fact it has been exactly 12 months this weekend that we left for our one month holiday around Victoria, Great Ocean Road, Broken Hill etc last year - oh how i wish we were on our way again!!!
Anyway, the last week has gone fast too ... great to finish another term of school and start the school holidays ... i loooove school holiday! Love the break from routine, uniforms, lunches, homework etc etc.
Friday night i attended a fundraiser scrapbooking night at Lisarow Public School - this was organised by the lovely Alex (whom i met at the SCRAPBOOKnBITS Scrapbooking Retreat earlier this year. Alex runs a business with gorgeous and unique homewares, gifts & things ... there is even a 'spring sale' coming up ... have a peak HERE !!
Here is the one & only LO i completed at the scrapbooking night ... (a bit too much chatting i think!!)
I am slowly but surely getting through all my photos taken prior to scrapbooking which aren't really great photos in a 'scrapbooking sense'; however, i wouldn't part with them for the world ... what do they say ... "you just have to make the best of a bad situation"!! LOL!
Saturday i worked all day - no excitement to report there! Just the usual ongoing saga of keeping the day to day business flowing and trying to get my new office happening ... at this stage, the finalisation date has been set for 17th October ... fingers crossed!
Sunday ... beautiful Sunday! The weather here was just gorgeous so we had a day out in the boat (with a group of friends and some of their friends with their boats etc). We went over to the sand islands near Pelican and set ourselves up for the day (caught up with other people we knew too - very popular place!) It was so nice to relax, have a chat, a few drinks, a lovely lunch; and the kids had a wonderful time swimming, building sand castles, kicking a ball around etc!
We headed home at about 6pm, a quick shower and then all re-gathered again to watch the NRL grand final. Didn't really care who won ('cause we are Newcastle Knights supporters) but a good excuse to socialise!!
Today was a major "wind down" day ... got lots of washing done, cleaned out mine & DH wardrobes (lord knows that is only scratching the surface - intending to go through the whole house), then had an afternoon nap - this is soooo not me to sleep during the day, but i feel great for it!!
Well, here's the start of another busy week, looking forward to doing some 'school holiday activities' as well as juggling the office; but very unsure about next week's activities cause i have been summonsed for jury duty !!! eeeeek! I would be really grateful for any comments from anyone that has done this before - feeling a little nervous!!
Have a great week everyone.

HI Julie, sounds like you have lots going on at the moment.
Can't believe it is 12 months ago you went on your trip!!! I can remember reading about it.... gosh the last 12 months have flown.
Sounds like you had agreat time at the snow other than the bug everyone got!!!!
We are now on to our second week of school holidays....wish there was another week as this one will go to quick.
I was summonsed for jury duty about a month ago but go out of it because I am breast feeding. It was the second time I have been summoned, last time I was breastfeeding Jasper so I got out of that too....
Take care and enjoy the holidays
