Michael Buble

Last night we went to see Michael Buble! How exciting. I can't wait to get my scrap stuff unpacked when we finally move in, so I can scrap these photos.
Naturally 7 were the warm-up act - and totally unbelieveable!! They are really cool, and I can't wait to hear more of their music one day!
Michael..well what can I say? He was suave, charming, funny...very entertaining. It was an awesome show and a really good way to end a bad week. It allowed us some time to forget about the bad stuff and get lost in the music and show. Even DH liked it.
I so want to go to another one of his concerts next time he is in Aus. Thanks Michael (or as DH likes to refer to him as "bubble boy - smooth as bubble" - haha.

today...

we should be in the process of moving at the moment! But we aren't!

everything is still up in the air - we just hope that the tenants actually move out this time. If they do they are handing the keys back on Tues and settlement is booked for Thurs.

So fingers crossed for us!

in pieces

one minute everything is up and the next minute it is falling in pieces around you! The settlement on our house won't be going through tomorrow - which in turn means we wont be moving this weekend.
It seems the tenants in the house felt put out and it didn't suit them to move! They'll move in their own good time thank you - I am furious, upset, gutted, every possible negative emotion i think!
Supposedly they will be out by tues - but it has totally stuffed all our good planning - my day off work
- rental truck
- friends and family who were helping us
- connections and disconnections
- an available weekend to move
- the rental that we are in currently in

now there is an application with VTAC to remove them from the property if they don't actually move out on the weekend.

Everything is up in the air - just goes to show that bad stuff happens to good people and bad people seem to get away with bad things!!!!!!!!!

one more week

there is only one more week to moving day! So this has been the last Saturday in this house...it has come so quickly. Even if I have been a bit excited about the whole thing!
Last night though I was as sick as a dog and could barely move, this morning I felt better. Just as well because we did some hard core packing today. My parents and DH's mum came over and we now have the kitchen packed (apart from essentials), my scrap room, the bathroom cupboard and most of the linen cupboard. Now we just have to pack the tops of the wardrobes and a few bits and pieces here and there. There are boxes everywhere and my organised system went straight out the window (much to DH's delight!).
Better head off and get some rest, as I still have a sore throat and not feeling 100%
Til next time...

2 weeks to go!

In two weeks it'll be moving day - at hopefully by this time we will have unloaded the truck and be getting ready to go and see Michael Buble (sigh!). It's going to be such a crazy day, but how exciting on both accounts - right!!
It's report writing time too...so inbetween packing up all of my scrap stash, I am trying to get some report work done.
Let's hope it's a productive weekend!!

Taking a break

With the count down on - we are 3 weeks away from moving day. It's very exciting and a little stressful too. I have packed so many boxes, but still have more to pack. I'll try and pack a few more before going to bed.
I also have to try and do some school things, start my school reports and tidy up the loungeroom/ kitchen ready for some photos to be taken by the realestate agents (how annoying when you are trying to get ready to move!!!).
So there's the update...no scrapping for the past couple of weeks. I have made a few cards though. But probably won't get the chance to photograph them and get them on here.
So for now..it's bye and I'm off to pack some boxes!!

Home sick

Once again I'm sick...back to the doctors this afternoon..

Here are the last 3 LO's I did over the long weekend (before I got sick)...

This one is from a shop we visited in Akihabara (electronics district) - it had so many vending machines for those little egg toys. Out of this one I got a cute little mouse that is a zipper pull. The shop also had lots of cute collectables, etc.


These photos were taken in a little garden we found on our way to find the Imperial Palace. It was beautiful. Although we had to wait a few minutes to get this shot!


This last one took me ages to do the stitching (not that it looks like it!?!). The photos were taken in Tokyo Disneyland of the "Haunted Mansion" ride - one of my faves!! It was a little different than I remember than LA one being, but still good all the same! :D

Thanks for looking!
