the amazing adventures of rachy

Nothing much going on here... just busy with life in general.
Had a lovely weekend... Rod's mum & stepdad took us all out for chinese on saturday night... yummo! First time my kids had ever been to a proper chinese restaurant and they actually ate some of it too! And not just the deep fried ice cream lol. Rod's mum and stepdad live in Canberra so we dont get to see them all that often so it was great to catch up with them.
Rod was happy because his mum had been cleaning out some stuff at her place and came across his old super nintendo and gave it to him lol. No games... but he is stoked to have his super nes back! Apparently it all still works too. So if anyone has any ideas where we might find some games let me know... might suprise him for christmas. The only thing he wasnt happy about was Jed referring to it as an "olden days" playstation lmao.
So what else...
The kids have an eisteddfod this weekend... a huge one... going to be spending pretty much all day saturday and sunday watching dancing! Should be good! Abbee & Jed actually have dances in one section the same... so they are "versing" each other (as they say lol). THAT is going to be interesting. lol. But lots of new routines getting their first run this weekend so thats always exciting!
Havent done alot of scrapping... and most of what I have done has been on the DT project Im working on for Hybrid so cant show just yet. I am hoping to get it finished tomorrow... fingers crossed.
Ive got a couple of other pages but need to get pics tomorrow when the light is better. So will do that and post them tomorrow night.
So thats it... boring old post really... lol.
MWAH!

This one is for Challenge the DT at Hybrid...

And this one is my example layout for the challenge I set for september at Hybrid...

Its an Abba challenge so if your a scrapper and an Abba fan go check it out!

Speaking of Hybrid... I got my DT kit today... which is actually the girl kit for this month being sold on the site... it seriously rocks. Mel has done a fantastic job with these kits... and I was massively impressed with how much was in it. Ive started working on my project and will hopefully have it finished by the weekend to show off. So totally check them out coz they are great value!

I also won 3rd prize for August on Aussie Scrap Music for this page...

Thats my dad... I love him but teaching him how to text message when he got his first mobile phone earlier this year would try the paitence of a saint! Thankfully he has got the hang of it now (as long as no one speaks to him while he is texting lol).

Finally... Abbee made these little beauties on the weekend...

They are cupcakes baked in ice cream cones then iced and decorated... its not the best pic but Im sure you get the idea. Kinda cute I thought. Abbee is doing well... wont be too long and I wont have to cook at all lmao.

Yep... I am now 31. Scary. More scary because it only feels like yesterday I was partying away my 30th. Makes me wonder where the past year has gone. And when I think about all that has happened in the past year I am baffled really at how much has happened in what has seemed like such a small space of time.
So it was my birthday. It was nice. Quiet. No huge suprises. No special birthday dinner. No cake. A few phone calls from good friends and family. Cards. Some gifts.
Kind of just another day really.
In good news...
Abbee qualified to go to the national dance championships! Im so proud of her. She has worked so hard for this and deserves it. So we will be off to queensland in January. Cant wait for that!

I was also tagged by the amazingly talented Kayla last week!
