Well going back to the Aussie Mateship thread I placed up here awhile ago about my son being hurt and others helping him because of their bond through Mateship we are starting to get answers
The case is starting to go through the court here in our town and the person has been charged they need to go back to court in the coming months but at last we have action on an awful deed that wasn't caused by our son
Hopefully he will be able to get on with life and live it to the fullest as anyone can
I believe with all my heart we are placed here for a purpose in life
weather it be to rasie our own children
to make some one smile
to help plant a wonderland for all Creatures Great and Small
to be involved with community members that make us become out of self
I also believe when your life's work is done you will be taken from here and be given the rest you deserve so much
Sometimes it is hard to do your best with what life throws up at you but through what has happened to my son I know now he has many friends from all over teh place mayb more friends than me who are willing to help if the need every rise's again
why because it's ---- say's his friends to me he wouldn't hurt a fly he is fun , harmful type of person and I can't but feel a since of pride to think we as his parents have brought him up in a good way so that he will be a true gentleman at heart
no one can get through life with out a friend of some sort
I will leave you with these 2 quotes one a general quote one a bible verse
Some friendships do not last, but some friends are more loyal than brothers."
- Proverbs 18:24
Friends are the most important ingredient in this recipe of life."
- (sent by Dior Yamasaki)

photo time
boy I haven't been here for a longer time but
I know have new photos to share with you all will find them tomorrow night after work and post
Do you know what this is ?and no it's not a UFO. I was walking home from the footy ground where I had taken profile photos of 2 players with my camera in hand I set it to the candle setting and aimed at the light.
It is actually the street light outside my place that guided me home in the dark it was only 6pm
There is a certain glow that the camera picked up and now I want to take more photos with my candle setting to see what I can achieve with my photos. I didn't go to any fire works this year but if you did and have photos to share send them to me and I'll post them up on this blog for you to share .
School Holidays
My son has laid around the house and not getting up till 10am or later
ohh to be on Holidays and no school is great when it's all wintery outside
He has done so much over the holidays that time has flown and it's almost back to school for him . It's been a nice spell not having to do lunches and make sure homework is done on time.
My other son spent his 1st week donw at Tafe we live about 4 hours away so he caught the bus Sunday and got a ride back with a friend. Which saved us petrol and money in the long run
He goes for 2 weeks on Sunday and hopes to stay with family on the central coast which will save him lots of travelling and us as well
It was interesting when he went we all missed him and I got used to the quiet and sleep ins because normally he needs to be taken to work which is 5;30am start for us all .So it's really nice when he goes to away for a bit I get to sleep in longer
As soon as he was home the noise level picked up and we knew he was back don't you just love the noise's boys all make together
It's mine no it's mine , I brought that no mum did
makes you wonder why they do this and yes there is a reason for it all
1 they are both different
2 helps them to have conflict that they learn to sort by themselves
3 it's there way of showing love to each other
4 what esle is a younger brother for
well I'll leave you to ponder on these points

Flu Hurray up and go

even my youngest helped with meals and doing things for me which made me feel special as a mum who was sick .I did however work and had to cancel a training day and only worked for a few hours on Saturday .
feeling uinder the weather still and lived on soup for most of the week soup has became my best friend as everything taste's the same and it's awful. I really do like food and it's not good when everything taste the same as I don't enjoy it one little bit

I brought my magazine last week and I have 2 pages for my layout
Marcus wasn't over impressed with me but I thought the magazine did a great job in displaying my layout
Being a step by step was a bonus as well
took me four years to get there with the help of some great friends
It's great to be published at last

Autumn
Autumn Season and it wont be long winter will be here it's starting to pop it's face around the corner with the cooler nights and days.At the start of Autumn I did a cc at Scrapping Around and this is one of my layouts I did it was my ch and you had to use 9 small pieces of pattern paper which I did mine are added down the bottom of my page
Photo was taken by me and it's my garden I got nice and close and used macro setting on my camera which gave a nicer and clear photo in the long run with the colour cystal clear
I'm enjoying the last few days of Autumn before winter hits us very hard and fast but I wont mind as it's great for scrapping by the fire
The layout also has my own hand writing on it as I love using my own handwriting because when I'm gone it will be something to treasure forever
Friday Night Girls In Layout
This was a Friday Night Girls In Ch Monique set it and we had no photos to go by it was all typed up the way she wanted us to create our layout
she also did a card but I didn't get time to make the card on Friday.
Photos are taken of my middle teen enjoying summer 10 ten minutes away from our place set in the wild bush of Tassie is a small pinic spot with a swimming hole
We all had a great time and thank you for taking time to look at my layout
This layout took me 30 mins all up very simple and quick but I'm happy with it
