What a Sunday!

Yesterday was a busy day - up early, wash the dogs, ice the cake I baked Saturday night, pack my scrap gear, then off to Simply Crafty for a bit of scrapping and lot of socialising :)

As usual I went with the best intentions to scrap specific challenges, but got distracted chatting with everyone :) I did manage to scrap a layout though. A few months ago Cathie gave me a photo an d a kit of papers, cardstock & brads and asked me to scrap a layout for her. After a lot of procrastinating from me and a bit of teasing from Cathie - I finally sat down and scrapped the layout! Cathie is happy with the end product - especially since this is her first LO with banners :)


I was just starting to make some more owls (yes, I know - I have an addiction LOL) when Craig rang to say that one of his brother's had been involved in a motorbike accident :( We went up to the hospital and waited with the rest of his family while Luke had surgery. Apparently Luke and some mates had been out bush riding their dirt bikes when Luke came off his bike and the handlebars went through his groin. It grazed his artery and the handlebars went the full length into his body and along his leg - eek! He had to be airlifted back to the hospital. They were in such a remote place that the accident happened at 10.30am, but by the time the guys rode far enough to get mobile reception, then the chopper arrived - he didn't get to the hospital till after 1pm, then straight into surgery. The doctors have told him he is very lucky to be alive, had he pierced his artery he was gone! Luke's definitely on the mend - he's been released form hospital and is back home today :)

Cruise countdown...5 sleeps!
