Mel came home for a visit last weekend. Because of all the family she had to catch up with, we only got to catch up on the Sunday afternoon, and did so, by visiting the Gordons. Originally Mel was going to bring Sam up to meet everyone, but a last minute brother's engagement party, meant he was unable to come. It was great to catch up with Mel though, and she even bought Emma and I some fudge from Margaret River. Of course, Mel fell in love with little Charlie, and I think it has made her even more clucky.
Went for a site visit today up to Calen, and in particular the Toons Rd Bridge. This bridge is by far the scariest thing I have ever driven over, hence the reason it is being replaced. Half way across (when the timber was creaking), I started thinking that the 'Cars Only' sign didn't apply to the Toyota dual cab ute that I was driving. The surrounding area is quiet, and beautifully green at the moment.
I received the following email from one of my clients today:
Fiona,
Your presentation drawings of Gordon/Carlyle roundabout are first class. Comments are usually only given to the designer when there is a problem rather then giving a compliment on their work. Well done.
Regards Colin
It feels great to get a bit of acknowledgement for the hard work that goes into these projects. Myles was cc'd in on the email, and it was ultimately forwarded on to the Qld Operations Manager, who also congratulated me. Definitely an ego boost.
Linda & Imelda asked me to meet them at town to provide a second opinion on the dress Linda has picked out for her wedding in March. I have been sworn to secrecy, regarding its details. Aunty Kaz came too, but spent the majority of the time trying to wake Reed up, without any success.
Afterwards we went to Subway for lunch (Kaz had to leave), and finally Reed woke up. He is in such a happy phase at the moment, so it was easy to catch some really good shots of him. This one was my favourite.
I went to visit the Gordons' today. Little Charlie has been quite grisly during the day, and the photo above is from a rare moment in time where she was sleeping. Her uncle Craig was down for a visit for the weekend too.
It's been a while, but I've finally got back into doing some scrapbooking. I scraplifted the dots idea on the Jessie layout from one I saw in a magazine. Each 'dot' was punched into the foreground cardstock, with the contrasting colour cardstock adhered behind. Needless to say, with all that hole punching, Jason had had quite enough by the end (it's done with hammer and punch). 
This one is the layout I provided for Caitie and my first mini-GSG. Again using Basic Grey papers, but one of the new ranges.
