RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY...

The weather here is just awful.

I am getting a bit tired of the rain we are having... it has been wet for almost a whole week now, maybe even longer... I have had to use the darn clothes dryer even!

And I hate having to use that thing... it costs so much to run... grrrrr.

Today: well Stew is having a sleep in, the kids are happily playing with Lego on the dining room table, and I am doing friggin housework. Yaaaa.
Probably later on in the morning we will go out to a mall ... just to get out of the house for a while. I am sure I will find SOMETHING interesting to blabber on about later .... so...

ABOVE: a sample of the 'Thank You' cards I made last night... what do you think of them? I love them... but I almost always do love the cards I make.. I'm biased that way ! ha ha ha!

SUE: what do YOU think? (yaaa, she loves them!)

... the sun has come out (probably won't last long) and Stew is finally outta bed... we are going out for lunch... think Albany Mall today.. which is on the North Shore (Auckland)... I hope to stop in at Milford too... there's a Stamp Shop there I want to visit. (if it's open)

ONWARD...

Back from our outing... went to Milford, got my stamps... then we almost decided to stay in Milford for lunch.... but then decided we would rather go to Albany Mall as planned.

Funny how you are MEANT to be in the right place at the right time eh? We walked into the Mall and the first thing I saw was an AMAZING painting on the wall of a shop we had to pass.... and it just drew me to it... I fell in love... looked at the price and felt like crying.

It was really EXPENSIVE... so sadly I walked away... but on a whim I thought I would show Stew ... and he bought it! Awwww what a man!!!

I would show you all it... but it was too big to get in Stew's car... so I shall have to wait until my Highlander is back home before I can pick it up and bring it home.

IT'S GORGEOUS.... I can't believe my luck.. that shop has NEVER had one like it before... and it's MINE!

WOMBAT: yes, the cards are a Thank You to Sue's helpers, who are doing a Walk For Breast Cancer.

End of Day: and it's been a neat day, I have almost finished the dozen Thank You cards.. moving on to a couple of other orders now... nite nite.
