Happy Mental Health Day.

So some days, you just need a laugh to start the day, as there isn't much else to laugh at, so here's one for all those women who heaved a sigh of relief when their darling cherubs walked out the door to go to school this morning, or who walked with 16 children on the Walking School Bus to school, all the way yelling "keep up with the person in front of you."   "Stay off the road"   "Don't lay down on the footpath where other people are trying to get past" and "If you don't stop sulking, I'll leave you here on the side of the road"  (the latter was one of my cherubs!)

 

Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool. Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.    Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out.  When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she  immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable. When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead."   Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry.   How soon  can I go home?" 

Happy Mental Health day!

 

Ok, so once I stopped laughing, I thought I'd better find something to post today, instead of just rambling, so here it is!   (FOUND THE CAMERA!)  This layout was inspired by a page that TONI created, then once again, someone else changed it just a little, then someone else did second page for a double page layout, then I recreated it with my own colours & DSP.  LOVE it! 

RECIPE : Purely Pomegranate, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White & River Rock ink & cardstock.  Holiday Harmony DSP, Oval Punches, Double Stitched Ribbon, Pretties Kit, Corner Rounder, Lovely labels, French Flair & Baroque Motifs stamp sets

Enjoy your day!

I KNOW, I KNOW - IT'S WEDNESDAY, AND I HAVEN'T POSTED SINCE SUNDAY!!

SORRY to all you faithful blog checkers out there - what can I say - It's been a busy week! I've just had a fantastic day, cruising the Stampin' Up! Website, and LEARNING lots from a fabulous new demonstrator (who by the way was reading her 69 page demonstrator manual when I arrived - I kid you not!! Top marks to you!!) and then went to Mimi, and spent the afternoon in a bikini. Awesome! It was lovely and hot - the kids were fantastic, and the company so enjoyable! Couldn't have asked for a better day - other than coming home now and not having to cook dinner. Hmm.
So - before I go to sleep, I WILL BE POSTING SOMETHING! Check back later. Hope you've all enjoyed your Waitangi Day as well. Riley (5yrs) said "The reason for this holiday is because the whitey's and the Maori were fighting, and then they signed a piece of paper to say they would stop fighting, and we call it Waitangi Day"
That's pretty concise, for a 5 year old huh??
I'll go get the dinner, and then get posting!
Enjoy your evening.

Okay ladies - I KNOW!!! One more week to go though, so hang in there...
This was sent to me by Tracey, and I just had to share it. Very funny - if you're a Mum of any age, you'll enjoy this. Just have to copy & paste the above address.

Enjoy!

BODACIOUS BOUQUET CARDS

There! Done, as easy as that. Some of these cards were cased from Splitcoast Stampers uploads, but I'm sorry I didn't keep a record of who, so I can't acknowledge the original poster. This was in the days when I didn't ever imagine that I would be blogging myself! So, for everyone who has given me inspiration from their beautiful Bodacious cards - THANKYOU! Feel free to let me know if one of these is from you - I'd love to acknowlege you.

Ok, so it's a litle bit slow... and BIG, but it's there!

Hey there all you who are eagerly awaiting my next posting... LOLL (Laugh Out Loud Lots!) here it is. Yes, it's big, and slow, but it's here. Just still playing, so please be patient! I'll work on it, and soon, it'll be just fabulous! Boy, it's 7.41am, and I've been trying to do this for over an hour. Breakfast. Hmmm, better go wait up sleeping beauty who has to go to work today, and get breakfast for kids. Wonder how quickly I can get them off to school so I can do some more work on my blog.
Enjoy the rain!
