I cannot believe that it was the 3rd of February when I last blogged. Since then the Queensland disaster (and the Victorian floods too) are history and now poor Christchurch is getting its turn-terrible earthquakes and so many lives lost.
I remember when I was a little girl in Scotland the teacher told us that there were earthquakes in New Zealand and I decided I would never want to live there, so when Dad said we were moving to a country far away, I was relieved when he said it was Australia.
Funny the things we remember clearly from our childhoods.
But we have been to new Zealand and it is a beautiful place and I hope they can get over this tragedy.
I am reading a book at present about the Clydebank Blitz River of Fire by John McLeod and that is probably part of the reason for my Blog absence-I am hopeless when reading-that is all I do. It is raining today so i am going to make some cards-people seem to like them which gives me an excuse to make more!

After Cyclone Yasi Day!
What have the poor people of Queensland done to deserve all this terrible weather? I hope this is the end of it.
I think if we had an Australian Population of the year award on Australia Day, the QLD guys would have won it. And a huge thank you to those people doing the interpretation of speeches into sign language-I spent all my time watching them while listening to Premier Bligh.
Cannot stand this awful heat, as I walk around like some mindless idiot and achieve nothing.
Roll on Monday 25degrees:)

Happy Australia Day:)

Just want to upload some photos. Some cards I have made with thanks to Angela Sargeant for the inspiration for the second card.
And the photo of the Moth or Butterfly 'cause i am not sure what it is -it looks like a butterfly but it is resting like a moth:)

Scream!
Monday off to a good start but that damn Gazette... When people send me items to go into the gazette i wish they would send a simple word document not live e-mails. GRRRR!
Enough of that I am simply going to print the thing then number the pages myself, so there. Like it or lump it.
I feel better now.
Maybe time to head for the Craft Room AND TIDY IT UP. Does that sound like procrastinating??? Me thinks SO.
I have to do it I can hardly move in there so something has got to go.
Bye:)

Gazette time:)
It's that time again! The February Gazette has to be printed and sent this week. I have to find enough things of interest to fill 16 pages. You might not think that is a lot but it causes me some aggravation and a lot of swearing:)
Had a lovely visit with my cousin James's son James and his wife Siobhan on Friday after having made contact on Facebook. How good is that? They come from Airdrie and are off to New Zealand for a holiday.
Here is a photo of my second cousin James and Siobhan:

Heather and Ted's anniversary-55years!
My cousin Heather and her husband Ted married for 55years-how good is that. I first met Ted when I was 15 I think. And when I last met him he hadn't changed a bit.He and Heather were obviously the perfect match.
I forgot to send a card so I will wish them all the best through their daughter 'cause Heather doesn't read her e-mails, at least I don't think she does.
Lovely Sydney day and heading off to the city for a meeting with relatives from Scotland who have a stop over on their way to New Zealand. Hope to take photos to post later.

Procrastination!
I really need to stop procrastinating! There are so many things going around my brain but I don't take the next step-maybe that should be my New Year's Resolution-Stop procrastinating!
