The end of another week .....

I know we keep saying it but here's another week gone which mean another year rushing by ...

We are back to our normal busy selves .... Mark went back to work this week. His leg is going well. He is still doing hydrotherapy and lots of physio excercises .... basically it is now about continuing this to re-strengthen & stretch etc to get things working as normal.

Blake is finished his half yearly exams and starting to get his results back in drips & drabs .... all very good so far ... very proud of him!

I have been in major "clean out & de-clutter mode" ... we have gotten rid of soooo much stuff that has been shuffled from one nook & cranny in the house to the other ..... sent about 9 garbage bags of clothes to St Vinnies, 3 bags of shoes, shredded and got rid of 3 bags of old paperwork ..... i am about to start on the linen press & then our study/spare room! It is a great feeling and definately makes for a different feel in the house. We have also been doing some re-decorating (which is probably what inspired the clean out) ... our family room is all but finished, we have a new dining setting & now want to start on the front loungeroom ... i love playing and changing things in the house!

Haven't done any scrapping since returning from the retreat but hoping that will start again now that life is a little more normal!
But that doesn't mean i haven't been shopping .... Karen has lots of new yummy things arrived & arriving over at SnB and i'm particularly impressed with the new LeChateau range from Kaiser ... the papers are lovely and little bird cages and embellies are gorgeous .... take a peek HERE

Looks like we are in for a stint of wet weather .... have a great weekend everyone!
