Update and why have i been missing

Hi to anyone who checks out my blog site.

Sorry i have not updated it with any info for a while. 

Life has been busy. From April 2008 until August 2008, I was working as a  Graphic Artist for The Numurkah Leader. Doing a lot of classified ads, some newspaper ads, some business cards, brochures, magnets,and a really great Theatre program. 

I have since changed my employment and am working in Shepparton, but am doing an admin job. At the moment liking it greatly. Working 9-3pm works well with the kids and no travel and the people i worked with are lovely (so far so good).

I had trouble uploading some photos to this blogsite with my apple mac, so I have joined the world of Facebook and having a lovely time catching up with school friends.etc.

moo.com minicards

These are the neatest small business cards i have ever seen. I uploaded a selection of photos taken by me and had them made into small cards like these ones. The website is based in London, but the cards came from Germany or Denmark? They arrived in Australia in less than 2 weeks.
I also ordered the small holders for them they are sooo cool. The kids loved them and they are a neat way of giving people your phone number than a scrap of paper . All under $50 .

numurkah singers program 2008

This is the program cover and back that I worked on with the Leader editor , for the Numurkah Singers performance of Good Vibes. It was an entertaining play, I took my 6 year old to see the performance. My first theatre program. I also helped edit the details inside the program. This was a fun job.

Happy birthday to me

Today I celebrated my birthday with family and friends at the Wetlands Cafe, at a winery called Chateau Tahbilk, near Nagambie, in central victoria.

We had food, cake and a boat ride on the lagoon/wetlands area.

Great cake made by the Chef at the cafe, flowers supplied by my great friend Gina .

beer bottles

My husbands xmas present was a box of variety foreign beer bottles. Here they are all empty and lined up to admire what has been drunk.

x buns

This is my attempt at making hot x buns on the labour day weekend. We added choc chips instead of sultanas. The boys did not like them I presume they werent sweet enough. They did rise and cooked ok, but werent like the store bought ones, recipe from Better Homes and Garden book.

I will resort to buying them already made from now on.
