<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 24.0pt;">Newsletter – February 2017<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Hi
Everyone,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Well
it is almost the end of February now!! And
what a busy time February has been so far… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">As
I said in the last newsletter, I have been part of the “Girls Sheds” and this
was held yesterday – for just over a week Flo and I have been busy little bees
cutting and glue-ing our creations
together ready for “the day”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Some
lovely gentlemen came round on Saturday afternoon and put up a flag to show
people where we were – some ‘nice’ people came round during the night and took
it away!! – say no more!! Flo and I were
up bright and early to make sure we had everything ready for people to come and
see and buy. The lovely Rotary men came early and replaced our flag – the day
was to start at 9am and shortly after that we had our first car load arrive. It
was wonderful to meet so many people who came to see (and buy) what I do here
and to meet Flo. I hope that everyone
enjoy their day travelling round all the ‘Girls Sheds’ to see what everyone
does. I did wonder what I would do if I retired
– now I am wondering how I ever had time to go to work!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I decided that as we are now almost through January I had better get my
act together and send out our newsletter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I do hope you all had a
wonderful Christmas and New Year with your family and friends – for most of us
I think the weather was not our usual ‘hot summer sun’ days – however being
with family and special friends it really doesn’t matter what the weather is
like. To those of you who found 2016 a bit of a challenge with life and health
I do hope that 2017 will bring you improved health, no stress, and lots of fun
times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Some of you know that we have one of our grandsons living with us as
his mum lives overseas and he attends Uni here. Keith and I thought it would be
a nice ‘gift’ to both him and his mum if we sent him over to spend Christmas
with her. So for several weeks prior to Christmas each time I spoke with her on
skype etc I tried to get information as
to when she had holidays and if she was working over Christmas or going away
etc without letting her know that he was coming. So – we ‘invented’ a young
lady and called her ‘Jan’ telling our daughter that ‘Jan’ was coming to Dubai
and would she be able to stay with her for a day or two. Our daughter was
delighted to put up a New Zealander for a few days and agreed to meet her at
the airport (at 5.30am!!).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">What a surprise she got when she was standing there with a card that
read “Jan” and Lucas walked up and said “Hi Mum, Merry Christmas”!!! she was
SOOOOOOOOO surprised and we were all so
happy that we had managed to keep the secret for so long. They had a wonderful
3 weeks together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Keith and I went out to our granddaughters place for Christmas day and
they put on a wonderful bbq for us and we sat outside and watch the little ones
play and just relaxed and enjoyed everyone’s’ company. It was sooo nice (and I
did not have to do a thing!!!).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">It was also a special time for me over Christmas as I had the privilege
of having Flo here for about 10 days. She spent Christmas day and New Year Day
with her family and then came back and spent just over a week here with
us. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Then, one of our exchange students, who stayed with us 6 years ago,
came back to New Zealand and stayed a few days with us as she travelled around
to see some of the places that she did not get to see when she was here as a
student. It is so nice to have students at 16 and 17 years old as they attend
our schools and then see them again 6 years later all grown up!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Cont:/<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Right – on the crafting front – I have been busy almost ‘living’ in the
craft room and creating all sorts of lovely items (great as Flo was here). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I thought that I would give you all a little break though January and
let you get over Christmas and get schooling all sorted before we began again.
I know it is a very busy time for a lot of you. SO, now is the time to start
creating again and our classes will begin in February on the following dates:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Tuesday 7<sup>th</sup> February 10.30am<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Saturday 11<sup>th</sup> February 10.30am

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">As a number of us now own (or are interested in owning) Cricuts, please
let me know if you are interested in doing a <b>“Cricut Time”</b> on a Saturday or Sunday on a regular basis. This
would be where you could bring along your Cricut and laptop, work on your own
projects and/or learn & share with others here. Of course there are
purchased SVG files that cannot be ‘shared’ , however when you see something
that someone has done you may like to purchase it – sometimes it is seeing
something finished that encourages you to want to make it yourself. For those new to Cricut we can share
information like how to purchase files, how to up-load them, how to size them
etc and of course making sure we all know how to save them so we don’t loose
them!! For those who are more advanced

Over the past few weeks I have been keeping a big secret. Our daughter was talking to me and was a little sad that she would be spending Christmas alone as most of her friends were going to their home country's for the holidays and she was unable to come home. SO we decided as a big suprise we would arranged for our grandson (who is 21yr) to go visit with his mum in Abu Dhabi for Christmas.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Firstly we created a 'fictional friend' named 'Jan" who was going to go to Dubai and needed someone to pick her up and take her to her hotel. Our daughter was delighted to be able to pick up a NZ'er and especially as the fictional Jan was from Palmerston North. It was quite hard work asking questions to get information from her so that we would know that she was actually going to be home for Christmas. We spoke often on skype and each time I talked a little more and asked a few more questions. Seems she managed to get several days off over Christmas - that was good. Then she had to work on the day that he was flying in, so she said 'don't worry, tell 'Jan' (our fictional friend) that I will swap a shift and be there to get her. Then she started asking questions like - how long is she staying? would she like to stay with me? is she visiting family here? Oh dear, I did have to dodge some of those questions.
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well the day came and my sister and I took our grandson to Auckland to catch the flight to Dubai. He boarded the flight and was off on his great surprise journey. I stayed up most of the night and all the next day I was on my laptop with fb up waiting for him to let us know how things went. He text me from Brisbane, then again when he landed in Dubai. He headed out to the arrivals and text me to say she was not there. I told him to just wait, all would be well, she was probably parking the car. We waited and 5 minutes later the video came up!!!! he walked along the arrivals isle and saw her holding a sign "JAN" he walked up and said 'hi'!! she was sooooo surprised so with lots of tears and laughter and questions they met again. She asked 'is Jan coming' - he laughed and said 'no, I am 'Jan' she is not real'</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Enjoy your Christmas both of you - with all our love.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will try and find some way of putting the video up on here. not sure how so need to ask an expert for help to do.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I big thank you to my sister for coming with us to the airport, for keeping me calm though the excitement, and also a big thank you to our friend in Hamilton who put us up for a few nights before we went to Auckland and when we came back.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
next trip will be going up to Auckland to get him when he returns!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
in the mean time I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and remember it is all about family and the love between you.</div>

<div>
have managed to get through this week with all it's drama and had a few laughs along the way. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What wonderful classes I have had this week - everyone is so nice and it is soooo relaxing with us all doing such lovely cards. It is great to have new people along and I do hope that you enjoyed it and come again. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I spent an evening with a good friend and we played with the new MISTI (Most Incredible Stamping Tool Invented) - you know when you stamp a stamp and only part of it turns out right - it is soooo frustrating, well now with the MISTI you are able to put your card stock on the misti base, place your un-inked stamp where you want it, close the misti (which will pick up the stamp), open the misti, ink your stamp, close the misti and Wha La you have stamped your stamp exactly where you want it - but oh no - only part of it stamped clearly - no problem, just leave everything where it is, re-ink your stamp and re-stamp it!! because it is attached to the misti it will re-stamp EXACTLY where the first one was - Yeh a perfect stamp!! NOW do you have those stamps that either have several parts to them that overlay each other, or a flower head as one stamp the stem as another stamp and the leaves as yet another stamp - I find it difficult to stamp them all so that they look connected, or so they look great overlayed. With the misti it is soooo easy - once again you put the first stamp on and stamp it, leave your card stock where it is, place the 2nd layer and repeat with the misti, then other layers. it works really well. Oh just in case you are wondering NO I do NOT sell the misti, I am just giving you MY thoughts on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHG7ixH18MEPOJnPYIO5-BbbT_LCB2FKHlh1wpV-rKKY065uP8meJsR_WOirR-sCAgwweSW47OD4u31x8QASsSFVgnATK1BZMdS0PuRxeMB2LxbPONLnmLtOfUESVkRWJiK6uTB3Mr5H0/s1600/DSCF3811.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHG7ixH18MEPOJnPYIO5-BbbT_LCB2FKHlh1wpV-rKKY065uP8meJsR_WOirR-sCAgwweSW47OD4u31x8QASsSFVgnATK1BZMdS0PuRxeMB2LxbPONLnmLtOfUESVkRWJiK6uTB3Mr5H0/s200/DSCF3811.JPG" width="200" /></a></div>
<div>
the two roses and the leaves were done using the misti. I have to admit that this is the first time I had used this stamp set as I can NEVER line up the layers right by hand. the flower has 3 layers and so does the leaf. I was impressed as the 3rd leaf stamp is so tiny but makes such a difference to the finished product. (yes the stamp set comes with the dies to cut the flower and leaf).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The parcels of cards and tags that I send to Rae are being received with great excitement. She has now received the last parcel that I sent - it does take several weeks to reach her, however there is much pleasure from the recipients when the parcels arrive. I am now continuing to gather for the next one to sent. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On the 29th October Flo and I are off to Wellington to teach Design Space to a group of ladies who have bought the new Cricut machine. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Card classes here in November are on Tue 8th - Wed 9th - Thur 10th - and Sat 12th. If you are interested in coming along to any of these classes just give me a call (3533880, or email: madgeb@xtra.co.nz) love to have you along.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then on 21st November Flo Joycelyn and I are off to Sydney for some inspiration, new ideas and well yes I guess some shopping.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then December will be upon us!! whatever happened to 2016 - it seems to have gone soooo fast.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Well I am off to prepare for some more classes so will come back on my blog again soon.</div>
<div>

<span style="font-size: 20.0pt;">October 2016<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Well first of all I must
apologise for not putting this newsletter out sooner!!! Sometimes things ‘just happen’ and not all
goes according to plan. I have to admit some of it was my fault, as some of you
know I met with 6 friends in Hamilton for a weekend ‘cricut-ing’. My weekend
started on the Friday morning at 4am when I went to work, then at 8am off to
Massey, at 11.30am was picked up by a friend and quickly loaded the car and we
were off to meet another friend on the way. Changed cars and we were finally on
the way to Hamilton. Arrived and to cut a long story short by the time I got
home on Sunday evening I had had about 6 hours sleep during the whole
weekend!!! But oh what fun we had. Especially as it was my birthday while I was
away and the girls did an awesome job of surprising me with
tooters/balloons/and singing happy birthday and I had the special luxury of
having TWO birthday cakes. For many years in our family I have had a little
critter that when you press his foot he dances and sings happy birthday. As my
children have gotten older they always try to hide it when it is their birthday
so that I don’t play it, however they never win and I always play it. My
darling husband phoned me the morning of my birthday and when I answered the
phone guess what was playing through the phone!!! Yes the little critter
singing. We laughed soooo much. So a big thank you to everyone who was a part
of setting everything up and to Julia and Heather for my lovely cakes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Now, once I got home from the
weekend, with very little sleep, I was off to work at 4.30am on the Monday
morning!! Tried hard to catch up on things during the week, to little avail and
then on the Friday a 4wd decided that the side of my car was rather plain and could
do with some definition!! So I am driving a car with much ‘definition’ on the
side and waiting for the panel beater to do some ‘doctoring ‘ to it. With everything that was going on the news
letter did not get written, sorry. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Love to hear from anyone who
has had a more eventful week!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Amazing how many things I found that I had been looking for or forgotten I had!! I think it pays to have a good sort out once in a while, and as I have such a busy week next week I thought it was a good time to do it. Time for a hot choc break and then come back and finish off.

I say…. It will only be <b>14 weeks</b> to
Christmas!!! I know that some of you are getting started with Christmas cards
and decorations, especially those that need to be posted overseas. The days do
seem to go by quickly and I often sit here and wonder ‘what happened to 2016”
It seems to have flown by!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I
decided in all the busy-ness that I needed a ‘time out’ so a couple of weeks
ago I went to see Poi E the movie – I found it very informative, a lovely movie
to watch, and SO enjoyed the music. Then earlier this week I went and saw
Shallows – the one about the shark!! If you enjoy surfing and swimming in the
sea it is probably not the movie you want to see (ha ha) – however I did enjoy
it. I was pleased that I went during the day as I do not think that I would
have slept well if I had gone at night!! And having a surfing grandson – well I
wont think about that!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Young
Zak came and spent the weekend with us and wanted to do ‘something on the
Cricut’ – so this is what he made… He choose what to make and what to put on
it…a box with ‘happy father’s day’ on it for his dad. He used my Cricut very well!! Naturally we had to fill box with lollies!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I say…. It will only be <b>14 weeks</b> to
Christmas!!! I know that some of you are getting started with Christmas cards
and decorations, especially those that need to be posted overseas. The days do
seem to go by quickly and I often sit here and wonder ‘what happened to 2016”
It seems to have flown by!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I
decided in all the busy-ness that I needed a ‘time out’ so a couple of weeks
ago I went to see Poi E the movie – I found it very informative, a lovely movie
to watch, and SO enjoyed the music. Then earlier this week I went and saw
Shallows – the one about the shark!! If you enjoy surfing and swimming in the
sea it is probably not the movie you want to see (ha ha) – however I did enjoy
it. I was pleased that I went during the day as I do not think that I would
have slept well if I had gone at night!! And having a surfing grandson – well I
wont think about that!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Zak came and spent the weekend with us and wanted to do ‘something on the
Cricut’ – so this is what he made… He choose what to make and what to put on
it…a box with ‘happy father’s day’ on it for his dad. He used my Cricut very well!! Naturally we had to fill box with lollies!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">This
is the 2<sup>nd</sup> newsletter for June – I did say I would get one out last
Sunday, but hey, a week late is not too bad!! After all I did do a newsletter
earlier in June.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Have
been very busy this last week with working and I think I am suffering from
withdrawals from not being out here in the craft room!! One more week of full
on work and then I can get back into it again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">I
do hope that those of you who went to the Feilding Craft Fair enjoyed it,
unfortunately I was unable to make it this year – my wallet was quite
thankfull!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">A
big thank you to Warehouse Stationery Palmerston North who put on an Art and
Craft night, they do a great job and had a number of items being demonstrated
with some make-n-take tables too. The staff are great and I am sure that
everyone that went had a lovely time.
Great for shopping for those bits and pieces that you need, and also for
those things that you were not sure how to use, like the different kinds of
‘boards’. Great to have them demonstrated before you purchase. I saw a number
of young people very proud of their painting/stencilling make-n-takes. Well done Warehouse Stationery. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

creations!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Since
my last newsletter I have been busy as a bee……<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Well
I know that our household is a busy one even with just 3 or sometimes 4 of us,
however I got to this point in the newsletter last night when I had to go off
to work for a couple of hours. Got home to find no-one home ??? strange. Then,
to cut a long story short, husband arrived to say we need to go to</span> <span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">hospital. Our daughter was in her car and had a bit of
a debate with the bank on the side of the road!!! Daughter ok but will be black
and blue in the coming days – car not so well off. All good in the end, cars
can be replaced.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">So
you see, I never quite know what is going to happen here. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Now
to continue with the newsletter for a few minutes before I head out to
Massey…..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Cricut news:</span></b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> yes it looks

into New Zealand so if you are interested in one please do let me know or
contact Flo. If you are in the Bay of Plenty area do pop into <b>Three Little Whimzee</b> shop (in Tauranga)
and have a chat to them and see the lovely items in their new shop.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;"> Our Craftroom Update: </span></b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">yeh
finally the new chairs have arrived.
They came in a VERY large box and once I had managed to get the chairs
out of it the little kitten thought that it was just a wonderful tunnel to run
and play in!! Anyway the chairs do look nice, and hopefully those of you who
come to class will find them nice and comfortable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Made from SVG cuts. I am quite pleased with them and a big thanks to two friends who came and chatted and helped for the afternoon. It is good to have someone to chat to and run things past and to make suggestions when crafting.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

All ready and looking forward to class tonight.
<div>
Seem to have a few things on the go at the moment so it is good to be busy, especially with our cold mornings, though they do seem to bring pleasant days. Am hoping to get some more cutting done on the cricut over the next couple of days - trouble is people in this house seem to think that they need to eat!!! so have to stop and do meals ha ha.</div>
<div>
I love the fact that Flo was able to spend 10 days crafting!!! Looking forward to having her here again in July even if it only for a few days. </div>
<div>
Looking forward to class tonight so must fly now, be back with pics from the class.</div>

I am really looking forward to this weeks classes as we are doing some lovely cards, which I will put up after the classes. In the mean time here is a couple that I have done, The Classic Car is from the CTMH Artfully Sent cartridge, I have not added any embelishments to it yet - it is straight from the cartridge. The tool card I saw done and cannot remember where, I have changed it a little but the idea was great, so to whoever it was I thank you for the idea. The tools are cut from creative cuts svg and the Happy Birthday from Cricut shapes and fonts.<div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is another svg file from Dreaming Tree. It is a mail box - flower box-card. So it folds sideways to go flat to fit into an envelope. It is quite easy to put together. I had a couple of extra flowers in my 'left overs' container so I added them in - the one on the right has a couple of roses added and the one on the left has a hydrangea flower left over from the Mothers Hydrangea file from Dreaming Tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Both of these just need sentiments added to them now - I will wait until I decide who to give them to and decide on the sentiment at that time.</div>

Flo arrived here on Wednesday afternoon and we have been putting together the things we would like to do while there. I had to work yesterday morning and this morning so we have been busy during the afternoons.
<div>
Our household is a bit crazy at the moment - Flo here, the guys working all sorts of shifts night and day, I working mornings and new student arrived!! I have managed to vacuum the house (quickly), make the beds, do the laundry, load dishwasher and put the crock pot on ready for tomorrow nights dinner. To vacuum in this house is an experience as every time I walk out of my craft room little bits of cardstock seem to delight in coming with me, however they are not intent on staying on my shoes/slippers but jump off at varying places along the hall and lounge, even some of them attaching themselves to the cats. Little hearts, glittery bits, shapes of all sorts!!! I have even been know to find bits and pieces in my bed!!!</div>
<div>
Well I am off to cut some more ready for tomorrow. Need to be up early in the morning. </div>
<div>
will be back on here hopefully with some pics of how we do at Pinkalicious.</div>

Family is sooooo important - near or far, it is wonderful that technology keeps us in contact with each other, and I have had lots of messages from afar. I was taken out to lunch by my wonderful eldest daughter yesterday and it was sooo nice. As we are both really busy and work different shifts it is great to catch up when we can.
<div>
This morning I am on my cricut again trying out new things - will see how they turn out as to whether I put photos on here or not. It is a quiet day in our household, hubby at work and grandson sleeping - he is working nights so sleeps days. It gives me some time to potter in my craft room and give it a clean up ready for class's next week. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Went and saw the movie 'God's Not Dead 2" last week and am going again this afternoon with a friend - if you have not seen it do try and go - it is a great movie and well worth seeing - hence I am going for the 2nd time. I often feel that for me I get more out of a good movie when I see it again. It is based on a true story and these kind of movies always appeal to me. This is one that I will watch for the video to come out and purchase it.</div>
<div>

Great grand son - 6 years old- had a teddy that he loves and unfortunately teddy lost an eye - I am ok with card crafts but no good with giving teddies new eyes, so off to my dear friend who knows everything about those sorts of things and yesterday we went and picked up teddy with a lovely new set of eyes!!! GGSon was soooo pleased and proud. A HUGH big thank you to Anne for a wonderful job and a happy little boy.</div>

I have got (or at least borrowed from my sister) a soup maker. Well over the last couple of weeks it has run every single day!! what a wonderful machine! I spent an hour or so chopping up vegs of all sorts and popping them into containers in the fridge. I come out - take a handful of each veg and put into the Soup Maker, press the button and wha lar in 20 min I have a lovely meal. Soooo easy and sooo nice, especially on the nights that are a little cooler now. Oh and it also makes a great hot chocolate too!!</div>

Question time: why is it that a parcel sent from Auckland to Palmerston North takes over a week and a parcel from UAE takes 3 days!!! Same going the other way - I sent a package to Rae and it takes about 4 - 5 weeks, she sends one to me and it takes 3 - 4 days!! how can that be? </div>
<div>
I guess the main thing is that the package arrives in the end.</div>
<div>
I am off to have a tidy up of my craft table now and cut some more from by beloved Cricut.</div>
<div>
Hope you all have a lovely day. </div>
