I hope this works













Wow now I am a little excited as I have been able to add LO's to my post.
Being NOT very computer savvy, I am hoping that the links below to an EBAY auction that has finished and that persons blog will provide anyone who reads my blog with lots of laughs
As a mother of just one cherub I can't really relate BUT the story is soooooooooooooo funny and this lady has turned into an international celebrity overnight due to the internet

In a week that has seen me, see some of the large scrapbooking celebs in the US make lots of people very unhappy, it was great to see someone light up some peoples lives especially those who have husbands and relatives deployed overseas with her light hearted stories of life with 6 kids under 12.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

In other Simmons news, both of Alyce's netball teams lost yesterday and Kev didnt place in his race, but the Kangaroos had a win that means that they will play finals again this year which is great.
Curves is still OK.
The biggy this week is that Julie, Shelley, Pauline and I are off to Countdown Spectacular on Thursday night so very much looking forward to that.
Ok will sign off for now
Have fun

I am a snapdragon!!!!!!!!!!!


I am a
Snapdragon


What Flower
Are You?


How excited am I? I was able to transport something from someone else's blog and deliver it to mine...........woohoo
All I need to do now is learn how to put photos in and I will be right
Must say I do love snapdragons

Well its working

Been to Curves this morning and got got weighed and measured.
To my surprise I have lost 1.8kgs and cms off my bust, waist, hips and thighs in just over a month.
This is despite the fact that I havent really altered my eating habits (mostly bad), so imagine what could happen if I decided to do that as well.
I really am enjoying the workouts and it is more fun now that Alyce comes too, so hopefully we will both benefit by going at least 3 times a week. (we did it this week)
Saturday's bring the usual things, netball, netball and more netball but tonight I am off to do some scrapping with my wonderful friends Julie, Pauline, Shelley and Kim and we are having dinner cooked for us by the wonderful Julie, so I am very much looking forward to it. Maybe I will even get some scrapping done...................
Kev is in Ballarat today racing, so hope all goes well for him and tomorrow I am off to see if the Kangas can beat the Cats.
Work has been hectic as always and I cant see things changing much in the near future.
The ALBOM sale has been great and there are still a couple of weeks to get in to grab a bargain, just visit www.alittlebookofmemories.com
The weekend away is also proving popular so if you are looking for a weekend away just scrapping why not join us on October 12,13 and 14 at Red Rock Lodge in Sunbury, more details on the website.
I think thats about it for me
Have a great week and I will be back soon
Love
Karen

Well maybe not every other day then!

I have been better than when I tried blogging before, in that I have done more than one post but I will persist.
Curves has been good although last week's work commitments meant that I didnt get there until the end of the week but I did go twice, aiming for 3 times this week and next week will be the first monthly weigh-in so that will be interesting.
On the home front, netball has kicked in with Alyce's coached team having 2 wins out of 3 games and her under 17's the same.
Kev had another puncture on the weekend so didnt get to finish his race.
And I have just released a huge newsletter at ALBOM announcing a 20% off sale as well as detailsof a competiton and our Scrapping Weekend Away details for October, how easy it will be in downtown Sunbury, just 25 mins from home. Couldnt ask for more than that
Cant think of much more to say at the moment, so will finish with a link to the ALBOM website in case you want to pick up a bargain www.alittlebookofmemories.com

See you soon
Karen
