Well actually, what a month!! Firstly and most special is my baby turned 5 on Wednesday and the big party is tomorrow. She is looking forward to it and seems to be continually on a sugar-high. The day has been spent making cakes, chocolate crackles, jelly cups, rocky roads, fairy bread, sandwiches.... and sooooo much more. Everything is planned and ready to go for tomorrow. And I am exhausted before the day even begins. 14 five year olds (and their parents of course).
Other big event for the month was that I decided that I had had enough of my work, and quit with my last day being Thursday just gone. And I start my new job on Tuesday. I am back into the office and out of retail, thank god. Retail can be so tiring, draining and the female dominated environments gets to be a bit too much. I am actually going to a male dominated environment now, specialising in hotwater systems, grid feed electricity and bamboo flooring. I will be coordinating the installation of products, chasing monies from customers and organising all the different tradesmen involved. It is quite a busy place as I have already spent 2 days with them. There will be 4 Coordinators when I start and its non-stop.
So I can only assume that my blog will suffer again, but at least I wont be working weekends anymore, so you never know, more scrappin time might be available.. Anyway 10.30pm and must go to bed to get ready for tomorrow's party.
About Me
- Cindy
- I live on the mid north coast of New South Wales in Australia with my partner of 13 years and my 2 beautiful daughters. I have always been a crafty person, mostly cross stitching, beading and sewing but in Sept 2005 I came across scrapbooking and was hooked. Although I have put my other crafts aside, I still incorporate them into my layouts and my style has evolved so much since then. I have the pleasure of being a Design Team Member for Stefanie at Journaling Junkie and for Renee at A Day In The Life of Renee, which is such an honour and a great way to challenge myself. I was also extremely fortunate to receive 2 Honorable Mentions in the 'Scrapbooking Memories Masters 2009' competition and 1 Honorable Mention in the 2010 competition. Scrapbooking is a wonderful and creative way to record our lives and just a great way to unwind at the end of the day.

Hope the party all goes well for you Cindy. Your new job sounds like such fun. Interesting & exciting work but also exhausting from the sounds of it. Don't know how you find the time to scrap & blog at all. My maid is back on Monday & the last month has left me feeling wrecked!!! The kids ended up helping out alot but wow it is hard to keep up with everything yourself & I now have a part-time job too & with teenagers now they are out half the night every weekend & we have to do the lifting - so that is another job in my opinion!
Best of luck in your new job Cindy - retail can be draining sometimes! Hoping the party goes down well too.
