ABusy Week end

Hello All

yes I am still here.....It is a busy time coming up to the end of the year.

This week saw Emma, Bruce's youngest graduate

year 12. 

This is Robbie's last week and then Will finishes primary school the week after. 

Then Christmas Holidays!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been busy making lots of soy candle, soy melts, soap and lots of other goodies.

Boy my kitchen has been a production line but sure does smell good.

 Saturday saw me have my first market stall for many years.

Our local hall at Stockyard has started having weekly markets until Christmas.

I had a great morning and did well, sold lots of soap, candles and dishcloths.

Sunday saw us get our newest member of the family.

Her name is Zena and she has  stolen my heart. Zena thinks she is a dog

and sleeps at the back door through the day.

We also got our new chooks on Sunday, I will show you them later in the week.

Monday Mum and I went to the Bush Christmas display in Toowoomba.

I loved this window below and really want to make something similar to this.

I also loved the Christmas tree next to it.

Now I'm off to read what you all got up too on the 

week end.

Blessings

Thank God it's Saturday.

What a week!!!!!!! The Graduation is all over and so is Alanah's formal....I have just waved Alanah and her friend off as they head of to Coolum for 10 days. My girl is all grown up now..and yes I'm having a cry....I was good at the graduation and didn't cry at all but watching her drive away it hits me......She's a woman now!!!! In a few hours we went from receiving our school certificate to

WOW

Movie star beautiful..

and the car to match of course a 65 Mustang...

I'm back......

What one crazy week I am having....

Below is Alanah with some of her school friends at the beginning of the year. This year has gone by so fast, on Friday these girls will all be graduating!!!!!!!! Now for those of you that have a year 12 daughter about to graduate you will know what my week is like...Last night Alanah had her nails done, as this is VERY important..Then there is the waxing of the eyebrows, not to mention trying on our dress EVERY night. For those of you that yet have all this ahead of you I have some advice RUN.......Get out while YOU are still sane...

Alanah is walking around this morning moaning and groaning yelling sighing with the occasional slap to the forehead.... Why????Other than the fact she is 17, has a formal in two days....today she has an interview for uni..
The poor girl you do have to feel for her having this interview in the middle of this week. I know she will be fine as she is one strong, determined young women who can do any-thing when she puts her mind to it..
When above daughter asks when am I getting my hair cut?? I can take a hint so now I have to go and get a hair cut and heck having a close look now it has been brought to my attention I will need a colour as well, but I am NOT getting my nails done!!!!!

To me though this is a sad time another of my daughters is grown up and about to head out into the world...O.K getting teary here so I must stop this train of thought..It is sad and wonderful all at the same time isn't it watching your children become adults...agh to be 17 again....

Have a blessed day

Mandy
