Goodbye Nana

On Wednesday 4th February 2009 we laid my dear Nana Sloan (Phyllis Maud Sloan) to rest in Collinsville.  She had been fighting a long and endless battle with dementia. She was a strong and intelligent women before this ugly disease took her mind away. I hate this disease, it has no cure and took my great grandmother away from us last year as well. My Nana was a awesome cook, avid gardener and loved to read. We will miss her dearly and not a day has gone by that I don't think of her and shed a tear. I love you Nan and I know you'll always be looking after me from up above with your beautiful wings to carry you everywhere. I look forward to the day when we will meet again and you will greet me with a big hug, a good cup of tea and a big batch of your jam drop biscuits. xxx Kim

Happy Happy New Year 2009

Hello Fans and devoted followers
Well another year has launched itself upon us and I'm still catching my breath from 2008. I'm well and truly on the road to financial freedom (at least from my husband anyway) the next few weeks see me completing my 5 weeks prac, my girl's starting year 2, glenn and I celebrating 7 years of wedded bliss...(cough cough not sure about the bliss... I'll get back to you about that one) and my graduation from university!!!!! all before the end of March 

Hip Hip Frickin' Hooray

I'm also starting classes back up at Scrapbook Shenanigans for the new year. I'm looking forward to being busy again after all the peace and quiet of a non university student. Anyway I'm off to have a little creative play and hopefully keep my eyes open for a few hours of messy fun on my own in a nice quiet house with three cherubs snoring their little heads off. I've also included a picture of my BB Art Journal Page for January which I signed up for this year. Each month we have a theme/technique to help motivate us and we upload our entry each month. Fingers crossed I can do the challenge each month ...
