Good Mail week!

We had kind of a busy week. But I couldn't remember what exactly we were busy with. One of those weeks, you know?

I ordered some Love, Elsie Lola and Riley products from USA and they are now up on eBay. If you are one of those dying to buy them cos they are exclusive to a craft shop in USA, and they are not making their way to Australia, please click on this link. Thanks!

The All My Memories Tote-ally Cool Tote 2 are finally here!!!! YES! The new ones with patterns! We waited soooooo long for these. Made a preorder a few months' back. They have finally arrived and I quickly gave the distributor my credit card number so they could process my order and have them sent out of their warehouse PRONTO!! The totes arrived at my doorstep THE NEXT DAY!! WHOOOOHOOO!!!!!! I gave them (the totes, not the delivery man) big hugs and quickly filled mine up. I got a black & white (strangely predominantly white), and you know what, THEY SWIVEL!! I'm quite pathetic I know. :)The other 3 (Red stripes and Plum Polkadot) went to Jess, Ruey and Felicity. It was also an exciting Friday night cos we are going to Ruey's for the Stampin' Up demo she's hosting. The lovely Fleur did the demo for us. I swear, most of us HAD some idea what we wanted to buy. But by the end of the demo, most of our "wish list" was just out of the window cos there was so many more interesting products!

On Saturday, I had a 1-hour remedial massage and a chiro appointment which means I get to get out of the house without the kids. I also got to go to Peter Alexander and bought myself a pair of these fancy slipper boots. I got the charcoal with lime green pair :) :) :)


Sunday - Kinder Working Bee today at Ellen's Kinder. So I roped Peter into it, bringing shovels, rakes and wheelbarrows to fill up the play area with soft bark. There were a few other Dads and Moms who came to give a helping hand too. We also did a sausage sizzle at the end of the session.

But before the whole thing started, we witnessed a car running over a dog, and it didn't survive. There were these 2 little dogs that (we think) belong to a house opposite the kinder. I believe these dogs are not registered (no collar), and they are not the best behaved dogs. They are never on a leash, the owners are never in sight, and they would quite often bark and growl at the kinder kids in the morning. A few times, and that was what happened this morning as well, they crossed the road, got closer to us, and growled at us. So while I was standing in front of my kids protecting them from these 2 dogs, one of the dogs got run over by a car. As much as I hated dogs that don't behave (but that has to do with irresponsible pet owners), I felt sorry for the dog. We had to pick it up and laid it on the nature strip. The other dog was probably feeling very sad that its friend got run over cos it won't leave. We knocked on the presumed owner's door but no one came to it. Apparently someone who saw what happened later, said that the owners came out, had a look at the dead dog, and left it there!!! How awful! Shame on you!

Anyway, I think it's a loooooong enough post. I need to get off this computer now. Laters!
