Woo hooooo!

I can't believe it's Wednesday already and actually if I hadn't read Janine's blog then I wouldn't have remembered what day it was anyway ROFL!

Running through my blogs courtesy of bloglines I just found out that I won a ten dollar voucher at Scrappin' Patch, now that's something worth woo hooting about - umm soon have that spent LOL!

I've got my Godson for the weekend - love having him over to stay. Gives his Mum a break to study and just have some time for herself, and Lyall and I get to spoil him rotten, as really that's part of the Godparent's job! He's only two, so if I'm exhausted come Sunday, you know why!

A few years ago one of the children I taught left and went to school, however his Grandma has come in every Friday since and given us an extra hand. She's an ex kindergarten teacher which of course is an added bonus - it's also lovely having someone in their seventies to work with the children - an added dimension. So as a way of thanking her I'm making a mini album. I don't do a lot of these - Mrs Frizz got my last one LOL - and it's made it onto my woo hoo list, because it's reminded me of how much fun they are to put together. I've had the children draw pictures of this person, and there oh so cute! I will do some shots of it, once it's all finished - it's most likely going to end up at my LSS to as the owner wants to sell more of the albums. Funny story there...last time I had up one of my layouts at the shop (to help sell stock) one of my Mum's at work came in, and was saying how she'd been there on the weekend, as she had a voucher to use and saw this goregous layout and brought all the stuff...turns out it was mine - never laughed so much in my life - and I sometimes crop with this Mum, so we still laugh about it!

Still lovin' having my sister stay with us, nothing like dinner cooked, house cleaned...anybody jealous yet???LOL!

Oh wow, that must have given you the huge warm fuzzies hearing the mum saying how much she loved the album that was yours!

Think the album you are making up for the special helper sounds really cool. Bet she loves it and what a special keepsake to remember you guys by.

Enjoy your weekend with your godson.:)

Congrats on the voucher; I saw your name on the blog and wondered if it was you!

I am very jealous; I would love to have my sisters with me, even though they don't clean for me... enjoy your weekend with your Godson. And yes, 2-year-olds are exhausting - but lovely.

Have fun running around this weekend with your wee man - don't forget to have the camera handy.

And yep, I've got my mini album [it's gorgeous girls] and just for the record, I know where it is in my scrapping cupboard.

Have fun shopping.
