Where do I start!

I cant believe it has been almost 2 months since my last post, I wonder why you have all been asking for an update! Well where do I start???

Happy Birthday to Nikki
Yes she did have a birthday in the beginning of April.... Had such a great day out shopping and spending the day with my friends :) Glad you had a great day too!

My Wedding Anniversary
Been married 4 years and definitely still happy! Received a beautiful white gold and diamond heart pendant.... its beautiful and I will treasure it for ever!!!

My Birthday
Had a great night out for dinner with my family and was even more surprised to see my friends :) That made my night! I received some awesome gifts.... I was really spoilt this year!

Scrapbook City Retreat
This was the greatest Birthday present..... spending 3 days with friends scrapping.... eating.... scrapping.... and more scrapping..... and ate way too much, but the food was great! Had an awesome time.... got to meet Carole Janson and do one of her amazing workshops..... She is such a beautiful person, she is everything I expected and more :) I finally got to meet Kerryn and Trudi IRL too..... great to hang out with you girls and get to know you better :) You are both talented scrappers and it was great to see your work IRL..... online does NO justice!!! Kerry and Leisa always put on such a wonderful retreat..... their generous workshops and products are amazing! Worth every single cent that I spent! Cant wait to go again next year! I think I have finally recovered.... caught up on sleep! Going to bed every night.... well you could not say night as it was 3am every morning and up at 6.30 LOL!
I did manage to get a little scrapping done.... I completed every workshop.... completed my whole BO Bunny album and did extra pages.... was was very happy to complete this! Will scan photos later to share.
Also had a Fancy Dress.... OMG I dont even know if I want to share these photos!
But thankyou for such a great weekend... cant wait to do it again!!!

My MUM
My Mum has had a shit start to 2008 and finally we are in the fifth month and everything is getting sorted out. I cant believe how long it takes to get into specialist even when you go through the private sector!!!
Mum will go into hospital on Tuesday to have her ovaries removed as they found a large tumor and they have decided to remove everything while they have her under. Wont find out until the day whether it is benign or cancerous! Fingers Crossed xx everything goes well for her.
She has had bowel problems too and finally had a colonoscopy on Thursday... OMG the preperation for those things are AWFUL!!! I hope I never have to have one!! They found polyps, she has had them removed and also sent away for testing. The doctor was very positive though :)

Happy Birthday Maria
We went to dinner at Maria's to celebrate her birthday... it was a great night with wonderful friends and gorgeous food! Thanks Maria for you wonderful hospitality!

My Circle Journal
One year on my Circle Journal is finally in my hands..... The year went by so fast! I absolutely LOVE my album.... the girls have put so much effort into their pages! We got to look through each others album and see what everyone created.... they were all gorgeous!
I so cant wait to start another one and am looking for some friends to join in another one with me.
Once I have photos of my pages I created for the other girls I will share them with you!

Ok I am tired and cant think of anything else... I promise I will share some layouts with you all soon. Good Night!
