Bad, bad blogger :(

I have been a very bad blogger. With Rich gone and a mad, manic week I just haven't had time for anything extra this week...including my blog. The highlight of my week was my birthday on Wednesday :) My family had a little party for me on Tuesday night at my sister's place and she made me the most delicious strawberry and caramel filled cupcakes! Oh my...my sister is the queen of the cupcake.

My parents gave me some money for my birthday and my sister Tracey gave me the fab big red Women's Weekly cook book...so cool. I am such a geek. My other sister Rachel's pressie is apparently winging it's way from the US which is just a tad suspenseful! I'm hoping it's a Hummer ;) My lovely MIL gave me money to buy some lovely new earrings which i managed to pick up in a jewellery sale for half price...love that! Nice little gold hoops.

This layout is my challenge for tonight's Cybercrop over at Little Scrapbook Shop. It is an 'All about me' CC and this was a self portrait challenge. I have great difficulty scrapping myself, as many of us do, so this was a great stretch for me. Pop into LSBS and check out the cybercrop and inparticular my handy 'how to use an upside down washing basket as a tripod' article...very helpful stuff.

Jarred says I look tired in this photo....well yeah. I am tired. I also just moved another year into my thirties this week and it's all catching up with me. Boys!

I am right now staying awake with a Latte by my side as I am picking up Rich from the airport at midnight or so...yay! Apparently he has a bit of 24 carat love coming my way for my birthday...woohoo :) Nothing says Happy Birthday like some gold hehe. There may even be a couple of *ahem* 'Chloe' handbags in his haul. Lovely. I can't wait to see him. I also have a little gift for him too...I lost my voice :) He will think it's Christmas LOL. I am just a bit run down I think.

The kids have gone off to Grandmas for the night as it was such a late flight so they will have to wait until morning to see him. They were less than happy about it but they will be fine. They are all super excited today too as they have been asked to be mascot members for the Qld Roar soccor game on Sunday nght and run out onto the field with the team...so cool. Can't wait to take some photos of them in their little mascot gear hehe.
