juggling.

Life is funny the way it goes around, up and down, busy, full, happy, sad, mad, round and round. I have neglected this poor blog, not intentionally, but life has seen me busy with this blog which leaves little time for this one. I wish there were more hours in the day, or that I had more exciting things to say..LOL

Lets recap for the last few weeks. I had my operation..recovery was ok. It was hard to remember not to push myself and stay within my limitations. I feel good now and go back to the dr on friday for my 6 week review. 

Photography business is blossoming. I am very happy with my direction and my achievements so far. I have lots of plans to help it (and me) grow this year. 

Family are fab. The kids are just getting over a bout of whooping cough (who know you could still get it if you were immunised!!) Lucy loves school. Jacks speech is getting better everyday and he is becoming a real comedian. 

Scrapbooking is still happening even though I am not sharing (sorry about that). The new Australian scrapbooking mag hit the newsagent a few weeks ago and Lucy was very excited to see herself on the cover..more news for school. I had 3 layouts and a cover..although they didn't put my name to most of them. Bit of a lucy-fest. Poor second child Jack...LOL!

I have done some other scrapping but I moved my office and the scanner is now upstairs and I keep forgetting to photograph them. Soon.

What else..um...I have a wedding this weekend in the blue mountains that I am very excited about. Then next weekend I am going to newcastle for a business workshop (I have some time for a couple of mini sessions on saturday if anyone is interested, contact me) then the following weekend, another wedding and then I am off to melbourne for a week which will finish up with some sessions in the fire affected areas for anyone who has lost their family photos or wants to start new memories. I will be in the taralgon area and maybe kinglake too. phew..thats my life. Busy but good. 

Finishing up..heres a little snippet of easter morning..

i will blog more. I will try anyway. Feel free to comment and say hello..I often wonder who still bothers to visit me. xxx

Hi there, I saw the new mag and even though they didn't credit you...I knew who did them! isn;t it funny you can pick who it is by their children's faces! great LO btw.

hello!! it's been a little while since I've visited you here but I do love to catch up (and feel like blogging and blog hopping more now!) so please dont stop! Man I wish I was still in Newcastle (we moved to Darwin about 9 months ago for work) but when we come back in 2010 I am soooooo having a photo shoot with you, I just *adore* your photography. book me in baby!! love the layouts and the easter photos are too cute!

[Marianne Pollock]

I pop in every few days to see what you are up to. I love your photos!

[Marg S]

Great to catch up with some news of you & yours. Easter photos speak volumes - Lucy gently saying, "Hold on, wait for the rest of us......", & Jack, "Is that all? I haven't found enough yet!"
ANZAC Saturday doesn't suit, but keep letting us know when you're in Newcastle - I would love a mini-session at some point. Great stuff you're doing with fire victims -hope it goes well.
Take care.
