Sunday catch up



As you can see the new kitchen is in. Nope, it's not clean, apparently they come back and clean it all and adjust all the draws - they have a little 'thing' in them like the air thingies (yeah I know, real technical LOL!) that are on the top of heavy doors. Basically if you go to slam them, they stop about an inch from closing and them close slow. Stops little fingers getting jammed and also doesn't make a big slamming noise. Comes standard with the kitchen, not something we particularly asked for, but cool all the same. Next is the tiling, and that wonderful hubby of mine has already made a start. He's not one for sitting still for long (unless there's a screen to look at LOL!).

I managed to get a couple of layouts done this weekend. I somersaulted (triple of course), spun and did numerous other moves to come up with my Olympic layout for gymnastics...and I also did the last of my BOM for this month. Looking forward to see what you've got for us for next month Tanya and Hannah...What I can't believe is how fast the month goes... The Olympics must be playing on my mind, 'cos I had the wierdest dream last night. A group of Chinese scrapbookers (do they scrapbook in China???) were flying to NZ and crashed, and the sea was littered with bits of paper and medals. You had to hand them into these guards from Myanmar (???) and then they would bow to you three times. And that was the end of my dream. Wierd, very very weird. Myanmar, where on Earth did I come up with that in my subconciousness??? Made my husband laugh anyway...

Dad and my step mum Pat, came over for a kitchen inspection and to have lunch today, so leftover smoked fish on fresh white bread (mmm healthy eh!) and bacon and egg pie for dinner. Gotta love it when you just grab from the fridge and it's done!

Enjoy your week girls...

OMG, great kichen, you won't want to move once it's all done! Love seeing your pages, I've just shuffled around for an hour, and have no idea what I'm doing, so it's good to see someone getting on with it!

WOWEE! Love your kitchen, Trace! Those are my dream kitchen colours. Not the white on white we inherited from the previous owners. White and kids not a good combo, lol

You looked very purdy on your wedding day. Cool layout! :)
