Fresh Friday

HAHAHA- well honestly it’s soooo “FRESH” here this morning I can’t feel my fingers! OMG, this seaside girl is sooo not used to this cold high up here in the mountains! lol.
It’s also snowing in a lot of places here in South Africa at the moment too- HUH??? What is going on with the weather! We have snow now and again but mmmmm- it’s all over at the moment and the wind can cut straight through you here! Hey- we are called SUNNY South Africa for a reason- BWHAHAHA, so this is totally not up my ally. ;-)
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE- I was sent another request for a kit by my dear friend and long time CT member ( and of course work-aholic ADVERTISER and promoter) Doodle. ( LeAndrea). She sent me a photo with some fabric swatches and colours she loved and asked me what I could come up with- and I must admit I had such fun with this one! I even took out my glue and made my own flowers for this kit! Got glue on everything but it was sooooo worth the fun-lol.

EEEK Wednesday already

Youch, this week is flying by! I swear today was Tuesday - BWHAHAHA.

Well my Daddy left on Monday to spend some time with my dear sister Gaye ( GS creations) So Monday was pack suitcases, and teach Dad how to use my laptop correctly. lol. ( i had always had it on for him and always shut it down- uhum, Daddy had to go through all those steps too)

Yeah, I gave it to him as he was having sooo much fun playing games and it was really cute to see. Hope he doesn’t drive sis tooo mad with too many questions- hahahah.

Yesterday we sort of “hit a flat panic” here as my dad receives a state pension and after a year they ask you to prove that you are still alive! SERIOUSLY! lol.

He has till the end of May to do so but the paper work was in Port Elizabeth. He asked his friend Wayne to post it up here so we could do all the necessary red tape stuff, and well lets just say our postal service lived up to it’s reputation as it NEVER arrived! So yesterday Gaye and I sat on the phone most of the day ( her from her side and me from here) BOTH being shunted from one government department to another! Can you say FRUSTRATION! Holey crap, I have never felt so irritated in many a year! Gaye was having the same problem.

By yesterday afternoon we had both phoned sooo many numbers, left so many messages I couldn’t remember what was who or what! lol. The only thing we could think of to rectify the situation was to change Dad’s air flight ticket to go home earlier so he could just go in himself where he collects it every month!

But BEN ( Gaye’s hubby) is a hero today- he drove to the nearest town with my Dad and found the form!!! The one the whole of SASSA (South African Social Services Dept) said they wouldn’t, couldn’t fax or mail us! WOOHOOOOOOOOOO! Go BEN! lol.

So All’s well and Dad can stay his full holiday now. PHEW! lol

I have a few more photo’s to show ya-

My “Boys”- ahhhhhhh, can’t WAIT to see them in June again!

Pieter and of course me who looks like I have something stuck up where it shouldn’t be- BWHAHAHAHA.

AHHH- my dear little friend Anty- man you can see how tiny she is as I am a short gat as it is! lol

OOOOOOH and did you Nathan can COOK! ??? He surprised us the one night by cooking his “catch of the day” for supper- Better than any fish I have tasted in YEARS!

He cooked the fish with herbs, garlic and lemon butter on the grill and it was DIVINE!!

And the prawns done the same on the coals! They had the most gorgeous smokey flavour too! Yum, I’m making myself hungry now! lol

He just doesn’t know it yet but he has set a precedent now! BWHAHAHA- he’s going to cook more often when I’m home for SURE- hahaha.

OOOOH and I slipped up on my CT duty’s! MY BAD, but better late than never huh?-

Timeless Elegance and photo’s

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE- it’s Friday which means New Releases at Scrap Matters.

But before we get there, I just want to say that Dad is loving his hearing aid- yes, I still give him frights and make him jump with my loud laugh and voice, but he is getting used to it now- lol. If I’m sitting close he quickly puts his fingers in his ear to turn it down a bit- hahahah. Too funny actually. Even Wayne teasing saying- You see “old man” that’s what I’ve got to live with- hee hee.

Remember I said that I had some photo’s from my visit home and Nathan’s Bday- well I only took them off this week- and really had a good giggle. Here’s just a few…

This was taken at a braai we had with all our friends and Nathans friends arrived too. These are the “twins” and are Nathan’s best “girl” friends. They even come in to cook for him on the weekend and make sure he is ok, he looks after them too when they all go out and makes sure no-one gets tooo close! lol- tooo sweet actually.

Nathan’s best friend Calvin ( who came down from Kimberley just for Nathan’s Bday) I’m so short that my head was chopped off! BWAHAHAHA. I call Calvin my other son and he tells everyone I’m his “mom”-lol

Calvin is actually the twins cousin~ Nathan met them at Bushmans River years ago just like I met Wayne and all our friends NOW! So funny how history repeats itself- just look at the following picture!

BWWWWWWWWWAHAHAHAHA- that photo I’m holding was taken 25 years ago! Yup that’s Deon and I when we were 20! lol. So similar to Nathan and his friends he has now- ;-P

The “twins'” made this for Nathan as his Bday present- they spent all afternoon baking and decorating it! I thought it was AWESOME and so did Nathan- got to love those “boobies”- bWHAHAHAHAHA.

Ok- enough for now or you will be here all week again huh? lol I’ll show more next week as Dad will be at my sister Gaye (GS Creations) from Monday and I will have more time to yak through the week and not all in one post – BWHAHAH.

Talking about my sis- GS Creations – she has some FANTASTIC CU Patterns in her store- OMG, honestly- looking for QUALITY CU??? - then please check out my sisters store HERE- you will NOT be sorry!
