Friday Foto

Well, this is my last Friday Foto this year.
Can you believe that 2009 is nearly over and 2010 is about to arrive?
It's been a big year for us, good and bad!

I'm still not sure what I'll do for my Friday Foto next year, but I'm sure I'll come up with something. Might have to brainstorm it over New Year with a glass of bubbles or two!!

We've had a full on day, kids are sound asleep and I'm about to fall into bed. So much preparation for just one day. I'll share some pics with you soon.

I took today's pic at my Mum's with her new white Christmas tree with lovely red baubles, oh and a purple one here and there thrown in for good measure!!!
It looked fabulous!!



I hope you had a wonderful Christmas day...we sure did!!

Chat soon,






Merry Christmas everyone!!

I just wanted to wish all my blog friends a very Merry Christmas with your family and friends.
Also a safe and prosperous New Year into 2010.

From our family to yours...
This was the pic on our Christmas cards this year!



And because I do this every year..for a bit of fun...You gotta love elfing yourself!
This time we are doing Hip Hop! LOL

You'll have to check out my Facebook page to see it..for some reason Blogger won't play nice. Sorry guys!!

Have a good one!

Owner has been found...He's gone home!

Well, our visitor has just left.
He actually only lived a few streets away and was frightened by the storm. He broke threw a timber fence to get out. He lost the collar on the great escape out of the fence. The owner found it late last night after coming home from a Christmas party.

We did find ut a little about him...He is 10 years old and his name was Yuki.
Such a beautiful dog.
His best friend, who is a Great Dane... has sooked all night for him aparently.
Imagine feeding those two?? LOL

The story ends well...Owner found!!

Chat soon,

We have an unexpected visitor

We had a storm hit here in Brisbane at lunchtime today. Lots of thunder and lightening and plenty of rain, which was nice. Everything is so dead atm. It might actually green the place up a bit.

Anyway, we were out getting the last of the camping supplies (for an upcoming camping trip) and came home to this guy sitting on our front deck, guarding our front door. Thankfully he was friendly, and yes, it is a HE...Jase had to check for the lady at the RSPCA! LOL



He has obviously been spooked by the storm. He was in quite a state when we got home. Puffing and panting, but he's settled down thankfully. He's quite the eater too...Luckily we don't have to feed him day to day. He has quite the appetite!!
I'm told...by the neighbour over the back fence...that he's a Siberian husky. Quite an expensive dog too, so I'm sure someone is missing him.
He's just beautiful, isn't he??
The kids want to keep him. LOL

Unfortunately he has no collar, no tags...nothing. We have no idea who his owner might be or how to contact them?

So, we rang the Council, then the RSPCA. He's been put on the Found dogs list, and we have had no call as yet. Let's hope they find his owner soon.
If he's still here in the morning, someone will come and get him. They were all run off their feet today, and just couldn't fit in another pickup.
I must say what a fabulous job the RSPCA and the Council do in trying to find their homes. Both ladies I spoke to were very helpful and the hotlines are run by the council and volunteers 24 hrs a day/7 days a week. Pretty amazing hey??

Poor bloke...let's hope we find his home soon.

Chat soon,

Friday Foto

Wow...this time next week we'll enjoying our new presents, stuffing ourselves silly and enjoying the company of loved ones. I can't wait!!

Zac reminded me this morning that we needed to go back to our favourite wall. He wanted some pics taken with his new "holiday hair-do". He wanted a mowhawk and tracks, and seeing it's the holidays he got it! The mowhawk is a conservative one, not the shaved to a chunk of hair...it's stylish, so to speak!
Helps having a Mum who's a hairdresser! LOL

So, I'll start by showing you some pics of Zac...




































Got attitude much?? For a 6 year old???

Here's one of the two of us...
I didn't know he had his eyes closed when I snapped this pic, but I love it just the same!!
It looks like he's really enjoying our cuddle.


Lastly...but not least, here's my Friday Foto!!


We are off to Ella's Kindy for the annual Christmas Party tonight. Should be a fun night.The kids are very excited!!
I'll share some pics soon.

Friday Foto

It's friday again. Not too many left for this year.
So, that means my Friday Foto will be finishing. Sad huh??

No, not really. I'll ave to come up with something else on a friday. I could go back to my flashbacks?
Anyone got any ideas for my Friday photo next year??
If you do leave me a comment with your idea!!
I'd love to hear them?

Anyway...here's today's pic!
Can you believe I got to my fave graffiti wall and got 4 pics before my batteries in the camera went flat?
Annoying, to say the least!!!
Zac really wanted me to take some pics of him on the grafitti wall, but it wasn't meant to be.
So, we are going back next week to do them! ;)

New Layout "Just Like Pa"

I created this cute layout while I was away at my Ohana Retreat recently.
I just love this pic of my Dad and Ella. Totally inpromptu...my sister tapped me on the shoulder and said "You'd better snap that!", so I whipped out my camera and da-da!!
It was a family trip to Mt Tamborine earlier in the year.
Melts my heart to see this pic...



















Using some delish Crate paper - Bliss Collection.
I adored these Crate papers...they outdid themsleves with these releases!!

You can find this layout currently on Scrap'n'Craft with T's blog and the sketch that goes with it!
