Let the holidays begin

Posted on September 28, 2007October 20, 2026 by Libby Withnall

well, they will in a few hours – school holidays that is. I was hoping for a relax but I don’t think that’s going to happen till we go away in the second week. I’ve been pretty busy this last week and the upstairs hallway in a huge mess. I started to tidy up the linen closet on Wed and haven’t gotten back to it. Will have to do tomorrow morning as I don’t have much free time coming up. Good news my Stampin’ Up stuff came – it looks great – haven’t had much time to play yet though I did assemble all the stamps.

I’ve not even got as much scrapping done with week and today (my fortnightly scrapbook day) I’ve been finishing off our cruise/disneyland album – it’s so nearly done…. Also been making invitation for our Halloween Party (the girls are so excited). Oh, and I’m rather sad my Daily Dose class with Gretchen finishes on Sunday :-(. I have absolutely loved this class and have gotten so much out of it. Here’s another one from the class.

Overdue update

Posted on September 22, 2007October 21, 2026 by Libby Withnall

Okay, it’s been a week but really haven’t had much exciting to report. Last weekend was pretty quiet. On Sat. Amy had singing and drama and Christy had a friend over – they had fun making cookies and even ventured into the pool for a quick dip

On Sunday I went to help Amy tidy her room, then decided to move her furniture around a bit, then the girls decided they wanted to swap bedrooms. So that’s what we spent Sunday doing – though Christy had a bowling party to attend to and we grabbed some lunch out when we picked her up and did a bit of shopping at Target and Howard Storage. Amy’s room is very empty while we organise a desk for her but here’s Christy’s new room :

Pretty much an uneventful week – I went to the Chiro, P& C Meeting, Dentist with the girls (and again for a filling), the beauticians, the gym, groceries, etc, etc. Didn’t get much scrapping done this week but here are a few layouts I did manage. Still waiting for my Stampin’ Up stuff to arrive – hope it come Monday.

Yes, that is me and Kevin way back in 1985 – I think it was my 14th Birthday.

Yesterday I went to watch Amy play soccer for school sport – was pretty funny – most of the girls are too scared to kick the ball if another girl is right in front of them – pretty sweet really.

Okay, now that you’re all up to date on my very unexciting life, I need to go finish up the bedroom which I am deep cleaning this week. Then I hope to do some scrapbooking, then the highlight of the week……………… High School Musical 2!!!!!!

Christy’s Birthday Party

Posted on September 10, 2007October 15, 2026 by Libby Withnall

We celebrated Christy’s 6th birthday yesterday (her birthday is on the 11th) with a party at home. We had 16 kids (13 girls and 3 boys) and a jumping castle to keep them entertained. We also had pass-the-parcel and pin the tail on the donkey and, of course, lots of party food. It was a lovely sunny day (after a week of rain) and Christy had an absolute ball.

I quite like this photo Kevin took of me in the kitchen – he was playing with his fish-eye lens.

And this one of Amy and her 2 best friend, Emerson and Sarah.

Father’s Day Lunch

Posted on September 7, 2007October 21, 2026 by Libby Withnall

Last Sunday we had a lovely Father’s Day. Amy made pancakes for breakfast (after Daddy had to make an emergency trip into work). Then for lunch we drove to Gerringong and had lunch at Bellcharra. It was our first time here and it was great. We were seated outside in the nice sunshine (glad we weren’t inside as it was very noisy). After a delicious lunch the girls were able to play on the play equipment for the kids club. They had a great time. We all did. It was expensive but great for a special day such as Father’s Day. I’m certain we will be back.
