This post is all about Mrs Millar! Well mostly! The song, you silly duffer, is Stevie Wonders' Superstition... a classic! Now quite a while ago I opened my mail and what should be tucked in a beautiful stack of ribbons but this:



Now I am so cute if I do say so myself.. Couldn't stop giggling like a schoolgirl when I saw me! Mrs Millar is suredly the queen of the poppets... forget that Claudine Hellmuth! (this has been edited cos I done got the chicks name wrong... sorry lady!) Anyway... So my Mini Me has been in my bag for ages cos I showed Kellie & anyone else who stood still long enough.. then I stuck me up on the Monitor here... then I came to the horrific realisation that I had not shown you lot! Tisk tisk! I cant show you the ribbon, cos Ive used it LOL








but I can show you the photo swap Kellie "the Cosmopolitan"/scrapping's answer to Nelson Mandela".. (-she puts up with so much shit and still smells good and is so wise!!!) owner of Scrap Needs!!! so here is the magnificent creation Kellie made for me... (Kellie is my lunch with famous people) Kell blanket stitched all the way around the page and there's so much detail I sit and look at it all the time... like a meditation ritual... I ohm and ah (LOL!) then I can scrap... So hopefully today i will finish the one I am doing for her and can upload that too...



Newcastle Show is on today (they call it Hunter On Show now) and I can help feeling ominous about Mum & Dad's rumblings that they want to sell all the ponies... cos they dont get time to play with them anymore... Im going to have to take photos and show you why this would be such a tragedy ... the poonies are so lovable.. Im sure M & D dont really WANT to sell them but with no rain around they are hand feeding all of them and they are being wasted... I mean there's a chance (LIKE HELL!) that the ladies wont like horses... humpf! So maybe in a few years we'll (the ladies and me) will be heading up the road at 5 am with a truck full of wumps for to catch us some bows... (translation- taking our Welsh Mountain Ponies to the show to win some ribbons!) So here's to Morning Star, Fabio, Fat-Nat, Huelog, bloody Sarah (beautiful but a bitch - think Zsa Zsa Gabor) and hoping they dont have to go!

Computer says NO!

Happy Days!


I have no secrets!

but I have a big congrats to Kelley for all her huge achievements this week... I am a little jealous LOL! but very happy for her.

My lovely neighbours are moving to their dream home (theyve been waiting for 2 years)...

Work was awesome again! and the funniest bit of history came back to haunt me today... bare with me... About 6 years ago I was working at the Easter Yearling Sales at Randwick in Sydney (biggest in Aus!) and I was rooming at the hotel with my best mate... One drunken evening she brought a guy back to her room... well our room... so, she and this guy did the wild thing on the fold out sofa.. (very classy) I remember getting up to get a drink and seeing this man's bum in the air and the most horrific noises coming out of him... he sounded like a wounded rhino.... anyway bringing you forward to now.... this (still married-doody head) is now the guy who ultimately has the ear of my boss... I was told the guy wanted to call me today to find out how I was getting on with the job ... (he hasnt called yet)... but the first thing I could think of when I heard his name was.... RHINO-MAN!!! ... ROTFLMAO! My how things just get odderer and odderer! How am I going to take him seriously?.. I mean this guy is a huge wheel in the thoroughbred game!!! Ah the tragic, tragic truth! Jilly Cooper has nothing on the stuff Ive seen! LOL!

anyway Mrs Millar, poor Mr George has fainted! He had no idea! LOL! N.B. remember to take foot from mouth!!! LOL!

There's no secret... unless Powerball calls in the next 5 minutes... Dream, dream, dreaming of a holiday, Its so nice I think Ill stay!

Anthea was saying she had the Bambaloo song in her head.. thanks now so do I... I really get stuck with that one for days...

OK shoosh everyone......Its time to go....................

Libby!

Ive added the last song I will probably ever add!

This is my favourite song! Ive been trawling the 'net for a great copy of it! Search over girls! Here it is! Press play to make it work... it freaks me out a bit when I visit blogs and suddenly songs come blasting out of your speakers... 'spec those thrash bands some American chicks have... whoa calm down boys... drink Camomile much?

Nothing new today... though I might have a little secret .. then again... I might not...

TEASE!

Go the Bluroons! I couldnt care who wins the damn football! Sour grapes from a bottom dweller of the footy tipping.

However I spoke to Jeremy yesterday and he's up for blind dating Shae, Mrs Millar's cousin... Im picking out my dress for the wedding as we speak.. nothing little a little enthusiasm..

have a great one!

Would you like some cheese with that???

You might have to press play! Half way down on the right! press the little play button on the very left bottom corner! You can miss this!

All I need is a stray 13 grand!


I've been drooling over at the Canon website again... Why do I torture myself in this particularly desperate fashion... The sexy.....

oh hell have a gander at this bad boy




16.7 damn megapixels... makes me bits quiver just thinking about all those massive poster size images... Im talking pinheads in full and glorious colour at A3 dimensions!!! Whoh!

Its an EOS 1D Mark II there's a lesser model but its only 8.2 MP... piddling in comparison



Thats probably enough about that!


My favourite coffee is on special... gotta love that... seeing as though I drink about 6 litres a day... and Im finding those Maccas Almond Toffee's way too moreish... obviously today is the place for random thoughts...

Mrs Williams is such a funny bugger... she had well I think she HAS a crush on Axl Rose and loves romance novels... now this is a woman whose DVD's on scrapping Ive watched about 76 billion times and just quietly I can picture her hubby now as a jodhpur clad long haired, tight thigh'd, individual who has a penchant for tying long scarves to his post hole shovel... have I had too much coffee???

Ive gotta go... I will get back to you in the fullness of time!

love ya work!

Well I'm going to miss lunch with famous ppl... funny how some days no matter how hard you try... thangs gest dont work out! Having potty/poo issewes (Way too much information) BUT at least I didnt feel the need to tell all and sundry about my "troubles" on an online forum... Im getting just a little pissed off with some forums at the moment and the sad sack "everything is wrong/bad/sad/terrible/yucky/pathetic/ someone did this potentially horrible thing to me/ or my kids and lets all pat me on the back and give me heaps of attention" Fair enough if you are looking for advice/an ear... whatever... but could you try to post happy stuff that happens during the day too... Im slashing my wrists with the boring, and blown out of all proportion posts!

(there! THAT FEELS SOOOOOOOO GOOD TO FINALLY SAY IT!!!!!!!!!

Im taking a big break from commenting on all this PATHETIC CRAP! I mean stuff like that happens to me every day too... but I say

"Thank God nothing went wrong... I will now put it behind me and carry on in my own inimitable fashion ... speading joy and smiles and happiness!"

When something TERRIBLE does happen to you or your family I will definately say a prayer for you all.... however I am not praying or giving a rats arse about your insignificant happenings where something MAY have happened... Go down to the burns unit and look at the parents and kids there and then tell me you have it bad!!!! FOR FUCKS SAKE!

ok now I will put this behind me.... I would rather say exactly how I feel than pretend to care!

Reggie can I just say I admire you for being so strong and capable in your trials with Autism...

Kell and your strong and so bloody clever self... running a household & a large business... and dealing with all the loss lately all while raising the cutest fairy and being the best wife you can be! You astound me with your wit, wisdom and insight... I would love to be as capable...

Kelley your blog post (you know the one) was amazing, such an insight and heartfelt... this my girl is what should be in your Make It Meaningfull album!!!! I bet you feel better too! Lucky, lucky thing you! What a gorgeous family you have now... I bet you didnt think you were going to be so blessed at the time... best of luck with the new job chick! I so glad you did it and you wont look back!

and last but mostly to my great buddy Jen who I havent spoken to in ages... have I told you lately that I love you! You ooze ideas & I can physically feel the fire to create when Im around you! To take on more than any woman possibly could and raise someone elses family + you own and be such an artist of life and then DO SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR FRIENDS as well (I just saw the Rach layout!) well I admire you more than you will ever know... Im not sure what as prompted me to write this... perhaps its because I needed to temper the way I feel about the forums.

Can everyone please try to COUNT YOUR DAMN BLESSINGS! and try to smile a bit more... the lady in my newsagents said Im known as the smiley lady with the twins... now how's that for a boost to the wrinkles!







...lol but look at this... the latest from me to you!













I think Klala might be rubbing off on me ;-)

GET OVER IT!

A quick All picture post~

This donkey is me! This is how Im feeling right now... and there's still stuff I havent got around to doing... Work was fantastic... we did the annual rollover yesterday... where you are able to now enter the details for mares for the coming year... (service dates etc) and everything I touched turned to GOLD! Had a brilliant day and cleared my desk... I had the sinking feeling about some of the tasks I had yesterday... but once (and this is typical isnt it) I sat down and methodically went through it ... well I shouldnt have spent a minute worrying it was too easy... now Scone Cup is on today (though in the hospitality marquee Ive never seen a race) and Im not going for the first time in ages... all that fun and frivolity and champers... and Im going to miss it! Oh well... lunch with famous people is on again today so... I sould really pull my finger out... couple of pics...




The Diva herself... beads and a flower in her hair















and this is from an email... HAHAHAHAHA!

Love the LEAVE button... Im sure this device would save so much time... and who'd need MEN ARE FROM MARS... WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS!


peace out!

Hiya

Just a quickie





Im teaching at Singleton Crafts & Scrapbooking tonight.. Mothers Day noodle box/paper flowers (will take photos) and working tomorrow... So heres a quick layout I created for the cyber crop at Scrap Needs... was really quick to do... Anyone whose entering the Urban Lily DT comp... did you know it closes on Friday, that went quick... I havent entered just cos I ran out of time/motivation whatever and so on to the next project... Ill have to check the wall... I love how a competition gives me a direction for the creativity. I need directing LOL!

Working tomorrow... hmmm... trying to be very organised today, lawns mowed, cars washed and vacuumed.. house is clean and Ive packed various bags to both go to grannies tonight while I teach and day care tomorrow while I work (*sure does make the week go quick)




and this is the layout I created for Donna Wilson in the footy tipping comp...

and Im watching telly while I do this... the funniest show... "Straight Plan For The Gay Man" its QEFTSG in reverse... hilarious... gay guys who want to appear more straight for instance in a blue collar job. Absolute crack up... theyve sent a guy who works for Ralph Lauren off to work as a .... wait for it...... MEAT PACKER! ROFLMAO!

and thats about it ladies... so be good and toodle oo...

A layout and a link

This is recent...




















This is a mad mad mad american girls (birthday/whatever) site where you can plan your kids party... kicks a Maccas party in the goolies, but Im not too sure whether I could handle the whole thing. I mean what do you do the next year, cos sure as shit its gonna become a competition amongst the girls you invite. Enjoy... mums of pretty things!

Club LibbyLu

I got the gorgeous rub-ons last week. Ive been drooling on them... will that stop em rubbing on? LOL!

Lib xxx

ps Should I have put a disclaimer in, telling you not to let your little girls near the screen while you are looking at that??? Probably for the best ladies! :-) take it easy... enjoy Sara's song...

Hiya

Thursday was my first full day back at work (and boy am I tired), the work was very easy, (I've done it before) but there was so much to do. Anyway the boss is an absolute gem, so easy-going (he's a Kiwi and I've never met an uptight Kiwi LOL)

I love being back at work, and I love the fact that I don't actually have to start at 6am and work with bloody bird-brained thoroughbreds. Touch wood I've never been seriously hurt at work, but it was only a matter of time... Being a vet nurse you are always underneath them and there have been times when I've been lying on the floor of the crush with flailing hooves above me. I remember once I was pulled out by the jacket from being kicked to smithereens by a large angry weanling. Oh yes those were the days. When I think back to the crazy stuff we used to do... Shaking my head... There were countless times I stood back brushed myself off and said "wow, that was close" ...But I've always had brilliant guardians... Whoever is up there looking after me has had their hands full a few times, but I am very blessed, touched by 'something/someone' who always points out the options and if I go with my instincts, amazingly everything always works out for the best for me.

Im feeling back to the old Lib now. Im wishing Kell would take less on her shoulders...

So Im opening up my blog page and just writing stuff as I think of it during the day, coming back to it and writing more... I think that way I will get all the stuff out of my head and on to the blog... Heaps of times I've thought of stuff to write and been buggered if I can remember what it was when the crunch of writing a post came LOL...




This is the cutest layout from Carole Janson from the footy tipping photo swap... all those flowers 'pop' out from the page and there is so much beautiful work in it... I love it so much and I cant help but laugh, that I used to think that photo of Chuck was so cute... well now I look at it she looks like an alien baby with alien eyes LOL! but those cheeks!

Hmm not really sure I have much else to say.. I need to do much more scrapping, I've printed a heap of photos and they are laying crying in the scrap room. Its so cold in there at night I have to rug up to be creative LOL... Im trying to save power this year, the girls room is heated and that's the only heater I want to use... So the scrap room becomes a tomb at night... And my brain freezes LOL! So I should use this glorious warm Autumn day to get in there and get some done... Don't know if Miss Jo reads this blog ... but if you do... thankyou so much! You are more generous than me... (Jo passed on some awesome gorgeous prizes from an Online Shop to me last night cos my computer was too slow to get in on the fun) I whinged and bitched and Jo felt sorry for me... I turned into the whinger from hell last night, but it was so frustrating... anyway... this time Im really going... plans for this week BE ORGANISED! BE ON TIME FOR WORK! AND FOR THE CLASS IM TEACHING! and create something great for Mum for Mothers Day

the funniest thing is that the ladies have made me something at day-care for Mothers Day, I wont see it till thursday, but how cute my first Mothers Day gift... I cant believe I helped to create these cute, smart, gorgeous chicks. My girls ROCK da house!

Have a great Sunday afternoon! Chat soon!

I will post more later

Im just so very sad

not depressed

just terribly sad

sad for Michelle

Jen & her gorgeous T-Bird & Lolly

Kell & her family

Im not depressed at all... Ive just been hearing only the sad stories lately...

I hate hate hate being sad... its not me, I want to be happy and realise these things havent happened to ME! but they have happened to people I care about... Im also being stuffed around a bit by a few people (work) and there's so much going around in my head, just stuff that people (distant family) have said and since they over analyse EVERYTHING, my brain is trying to do the same and Im fighting it....

I dont much like reading other chicks blogs when theyre like this post, so Im sorry for this melancholy blerb....

Scheduled programming will continue as soon as possible...

Thinking of you Kell, Jen & Michelle...

On a much brighter note I got Carole's layout in the mail today and the photo she sent does NOT do it justice!!! The layout pops right off the page, Very 3-D! So as inspiration I have put Kell's and Carole's and Jen's 3 on my wall... they make me VERY happy! Thankyou so much one and all! Congrats to Kelley, youre on a roll chick! and a few more goals to tick off soon too I hope!

and Miss Chris made me into the cutest poppet imaginable... Can you forgive me for not posting pics tonight? Chris sent a ribbon card filled with lengths and lengths of truely stunning ribbons and my poppet... wasnt expecting anything so that was a huge happy sunshine surprise!!! thankyou Chris, my poppet is well travelled, it been in my handbag and Ive shown everybody I see, but now she's blue-tac-ed to my monitor as I spent most of my freakin day here in front of the 'puter...

cheers chicks

Im off to de-choly myself, whatdya reckon? A long hot bath and a nice brewed coffee, then watch The Bill then bed! (She leads a very exciting life doesnt she?)

Gabu (Dad) is dropping in tomorrow and maybe FINALLY the damn house swap ferals will turn up to look through 'the palace'. Fingers crossed xxx
