Up and Down Weekend

Well life certainly throws different challenges our way sometimes.

Well I arrived home sat morning to discover my house had been broken into!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My TV is gone, all of my jewellery and Wayne's, a friends camera, the rooms are a bit of a mess. The neighbours told me a car across the road was stolen as well. Must have needed to take my stuff! According to the Police there is a pretty huge crime wave going on in my suburb right now. The nasties didn't leave an ounce of evidence.

I spent today (Sunday) cleaning fingerprint powder off everything in addition to cleaning whatever I think they touched. In my mind though they touched everything!

Jacob was really freaked out at first especially when he realised they had been in his room. He has been brilliant though, we got home last night and when we went to go into the house is looked at me and said 'its OK we will go in together". He slept with me last night and said he wants one more night with me.

I have heard so many stories of how violated you feel and always always had sympathy for others but until it happens to you as the saying goes it does really mean anything. Although I was lucky we weren't home as apparently this has been happening a lot I still feel jittery. I think I got up three times last night to check the doors and windows!

OK so on to nicer stuff, it was my Birthday yesterday, I know what a weekend, I spent most of the day waiting for police stuff etc but after that was all done I headed to mums for a family afternoon and dinner. A couple of friends joined us as well, it was a lovely evening! My sisters bought me some new jewellery a gold necklace and earrings which i love!!! Mum gave me new beside lamps which are gorgeous and we spent today rearranging and cleaning the room. guess that was a silver lining to the break in, it made me clean, clean and rearrange the house.

I didn't participate in the final weekend of ScrapChats CC as I just didn't feel up to. GypsyAngel thanks so much for the month of fun. Thanks to the Mods Sponsors, Chelle, Manda, Miss C. The gallery of work is outstanding, go and check it out!

That's about it from me, have a lovely week!

Easter Weekend Wrap Up

Well the weekend turned out busier that I thought it would be. Sunday was a lovely day, it was so much fun watching the nephews with Jacobs help hunt for eggs! Little Oskar picked up his basket several times during the day to go back outside to see if there were anymore. We had a huge breakfast which included the best scrambled eggs in the world made by my sister Shona, panckakes and much much more. We convinced mum to make a roast so dinner was yummo!

I didnt get as much scrapping done as I would have liked. I am still working on the ScrapChat Challenge, not sure if I will get this completed tonight. I have completed 3 of the challenges at StampShak with one more to go, might have resign myself that it wont get done.

Also ScrapManda and I are in a photo swap and she has completed my page, check out her blog. I love it, thanks so much Manda!

Here is what I have put together this weekend plus some more photos as well.

Easter Saturday Round Up

Here are a few pics from our family afternoon today.

Easter Table decoration, there would be similar decorations on every Swedish table today! The bowls are actually eggs made of plastic so are used every year, these are filled with lollies, we get as many as we can from IKEA!

Not the greatest shot of MUm (sorry) but Oskar was loving the Swedish food!

A game of Kubbe (sp) this is a game that all Swedes play

Thomas monkeying around on the roof getting down a ball from our cricket game

Easter Weekend

Hi Everyone

Wishing you a Happy Easter.

I have a few things on this weekend in the scrap world, we are now into Week 3 of the ScrapChat's Mega March CC. The challenge is to make a mini album, this is certainly a challenge for me as I have never made one before. But I will give it a go. It is also CC time at StampShak, this starts tonight. Hopefully I will get most of the challenges done the these is "Green". No idea what it means, the colour green, recycling?

On the family front tomorrow we celebrate Easter as the Swedes do just for my BIL. All it means really is food, drink and then more food! Sunday will have an Easter hunt for the nephews and hopefully if we can convince mum she will cook a roast!

Talk soon
Love
Karen

Another Week Gone

Halfway through March already, what is going on!!!! I havent really got too much to talk about, I am still not that well, the chest infection hasnt cleared so the Doctor sent me for a chest xray last week and another set of blood tests. I will get the result on Wednesday.

As part of ScrapChats Mega Long Cyber Crop I held a crop at my house yesterday, it was timed with SandyB' Brisbane visit. It was great to see Gypsy, ScrappinKylie, Miss C, Peggy, Sandy and Lynnie. Lynnie bought her shop stock with her, just love a crop when you can buy new stuff (not that I need anything really). Lynnie stayed the whole weekend which was great, and I will say a big THANKS to LYNNIE - you know why!

I managed to get this weekends challenge which was set by Scrapmanda completed which is posted below.

Jacob had his last game of Cricket yesterday, he had a great game, scored a couple of boundaries and bowled really well too! It is a shame the school term is so short this year as they only got to play 6 games. Acually 5 games as the first game was rained out!

Hi

Just a short note to say HI I am sick with a chest infection at the moment so am not up to doing to much.
