Baboons, moles and Mr Murphy

BWAHAHAHA- well living in "Africa" can sometimes be downright weird for sure. I've had NO internet connections for over a week and pulling my hair out in the process. Why?? Well lets just say that our local menace the "Baboon" sabotaged our main High Tower by taking out most of the cables.. lol. Seriously!

I had to see the docs on Tuesday last week to have "moles" removed as he didn't like the look of 5 of them. Yikes... well lets just say that 5 turned into 11 in a matter of minutes and each site landed up having two lots of "shots" to get them out. EEEK, I wasn't expecting so many to be removed and arrived home rather drained and tired. Then that evening learnt that my internet connection was gone. Sheee's Bunny I think you can take Mr Murphy back again now- ;-P

So nope, I haven't gone AWAL and have been working behind the scenes on quite a lot of new goodies actually. I have to admit though , with no "online distractions," I have produced more this week than in a hell of a long time...BWHAHAHA. I suppose that means I really have a short attention span *slapping head*. lol

OOOOH there is some exciting news coming up this Friday at @ ScrapMatters

Seriously you don't want to miss this: HUGE SALES ( and I mean HUGE...lol), GAMES, COUPONS, and a lot lot more. From the 1st - 7th March make sure you are tuned to the forum and blogs for constant updates and "what's happening" ;-)

I even scrapped again.. well hey, no internet means I get to "play to keep myself" busy- lol

Happy Valentines Day

ahh the big day of "love" is here already... Gosh, before we know it Easter is on our doorsteps. This year is flying by for me already.(They say the older you get the faster it goes huh? BWHAHAHA)... hey, I might be older, the body changing with more wrinkles, crinkles and droops.. but my heart and the LOVE it holds for my family and friends hasn't changed. If anything it just gets deeper and more patient with age.

We have become sooo busy with our "lives" that taking the little things that mean the world can be taken for granted so easily. Valentines Day (though so commercialized these days)to me, is a day to sometimes just reflect on our Loved Ones (not only your special "other half" but all those closest to us) and just how much they mean to us. A little "reminder" through the chaos of the year to say I LOVE YOU.. I APPRECIATE YOU and you DO mean the world to me.

I have sent my son a " I Love you and thank you for being You" today as well as my close family... And of course to my dear dear "OLD" Valentine..(hahaha)- my hubby.

Come on... take 5 minutes out of your schedules today and say "I Love You" to those around you.. it will not only make their day but make you feel great about it too ;-).

This was taken on our Wedding Day 30th Sept 1989. He laughed this morning at how "young" we looked. WELL Waynie ....... we were..... BWHAHAHA. I love you more than words could ever say and growing old besides you has been easy.

I used my February 13 Colour Challenge posting Gift and a few odds from my older kits to make it up...

kb-FebCC_pb

Every second Wednesday of each month I host a Colour Challenge at ScrapMatters. We would LOVE to see you join in and play along with us.

I also have a little "THANK YOU" coupon with my love in my newsletter today- be sure you check it out ;-)

Grab bags open + photo's.

Gosh, I totally forgot I had a ton of photo's taken by Kristy and myself while we had our family holiday golf match and have just taken them off the camera.. lol. We played at a golf course near us in the mountains... and just have a look at the wonderful "spectators" we had along the way...

1Love this shot Kristy took.. you can even see my Tee peg flying behind me ( the little orange thing) Woot, showing the boys how to do it... lol

3 mmmmmmm, don't think it's those balls you need right now my boy- BHAHAHAHAHA! ( he is sooo going to love me for this one!)

2 Wheee- it's UP and going! you can see by the boys faces I actually do get them up off the ground! lol

4 Playing in 38C heat in the mountains - but soooo beautiful!

5 Yup... I nearly freaked when we got to this hole as we had some gorgeous lazy spectators resting in the shade under the trees! Between Kristy and I we filled up my camera card with photo's of them... they were so tame! We even tee'd off while they just lay there- so AWESOME!

Grab Bags galore +Freebie

AHHH I had my kids here as you know. They arrived full of the beans even after 8 hour flight from USA..a 12 hour layover and a 12 hour flight from London. Nice to be young and being able to sleep anywhere- lol

Nathan and Kris left on Tuesday and we had a fantastic weekend with them. We had a little mini Christmas morning too exchanging presents and lots of laughter. (Photo's to come). Of course we had our "Holiday Golf game re-match" as Nathan decided I couldn't hold the family "CUP" until he had played... BWAHAHAHA.. well I landed up as Nathans partner (by throwing our golf balls in the air - closest together play together). WOOOOOP, we WON even in the freaking 38C heat wave. He was so chuffed that he decided I could hold the title until next year- lol. And then just to "thank me" further and making sure I remember he was here.. He left me with a wonderful COLD brought all the way from the US of A! BWHAHAHA.. nothing like having a stuffy head in the middle of summer huh?? mmmmmm NOT...lol

Can you believe it's the "Month of Love" already???..... what a better way to get it started than with a PU Grab Bag and a CU Grab Bag too. I've crammed these full of goodies to share the "love" this week.... I hope you enjoy them as much as I did designing them ;-)
