Possums

Well last night we went spotlighting.....now believe me when I say I am from the city of London originally.....so I was most unimpressed when my 10 year old girls went into a possum shooting frenzy!!!
They shot 5 with their dad Paul while I was driving the ute..
And did you know that possum fur can get $140 a kg so we spent until 12;30pm plucking their fur (I say we...I went to pluck a little bit and the poor dead possum let off a great big fart and I nearly threw up!!)

I have to worry about farm kids? do I????
My off road half marathon is next sunday, so I did my last long training run of 13km this morning around the hills of Whakatane (BEAUTIFUL)
on an even nicer note I found some photos of charlotte swinging from a pohutukawa tree on holiday in whanarua bay...so spent a lovely peaceful hour scrapbooking..

Today....

my day off work, so I have just baked a nice weetbix slice...the kids will love me when they get home from school, uploaded my entry for the NZ paperchase Feb sketch challenge, not sure if it can go on the blog yet, but here it is!

Anyway I decided I needed to practice......so I have entered the scrappin' patch Feb sketch challenge too...click here to enter yourself http://www.scrappinpatch.blogspot.co.nz/2012/02/february-sketch.html

Here's my latest creation this week....showing the girls having fun with a go-kart that they made themselves!

I used Stampin' up papers which can be earned free from the current Sale-a-bration catalogue, where if you spend $120 on some gorgeous stuff from the Idea book, then you can get free stamps, ribbons, brads and some lovely paper. Let me know if you'd like a look!!!
