Thank You

For your patience while I have been going through some changes...

Well, to start off with...I was trying to upgrade my blogger HTML TEMPLATE to the new upgraded format Blogger offers, as it is so much easier and friendlier to use and manage around in Blog world. I chose a template that did not look quite like I wanted, so I tried to change it back to my old format and oops...it did not work!!!

My Blog looked like a dog's breakfast, or more like HTML coding gone wrong...LOL

So, thanks to Wilna's inspiration, while browsing her newly updated blog I came across this sweet lady Gisele Jaquenod who designs beautiful and fun blog templates. Under her FREE ones my eye stumbled upon this new one I updated mine too, called Sweet Blog...don't you just love that yummy chocolate brown with the pink accents. It is just to die for...LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! She also custom makes one for a small amount too, might even consider getting my own personal one...you will just have to wait and see! wink, wink

Now onto a sadder note and a bit of the reality of what happens here in South Africa (although I do love my country), just don't like what is happening in our everyday situations.

My Mom phoned me this morning to let me know this...

My Dad went to close up the Pizza shop they own in Empangeni last night. While busy doing so, 3 young African youths each carrying a gun held the lady, staff and my Dad hostage, while they were busy stealing things of out the shop and loading it all in my Dad's bakkie. They then demanded the money out the till, and with a gun to my Dad's back demanded the car keys and off the went...easy as pie, don't you think. All I can say is thank you GOD, that he is still alive and nothing devastating happened to him or the staff...don't know what I would do if anything happened to him!!!

I was supposed to help my Mom out on Saturday with some catering for a function, but due to the fact that I got a bad dose of flu, I had to cancel...perhaps next time Mom, sorry!

A little of my creative stuff, not much, but better than nothing. This was using one of the kits from the Heidi Swapp day in May. I love how it turned out.


All in all everything at home is well, apart from Amy being off school last week with a bad dose of flu, that is where I caught mine from. Chloe is teething, so we are back to our sleepless nights; and Dad working way too hard at work.

To all the Fathers we know out there, here is wishing you all a Happy Father's Day for Sunday, hope you all got spoilt. Murray, sure did...he got a voucher for a back massage & pedicure; and a Parker pen set he wanted..."enjoy them Daddy, love Amy and Chloe".

Chat to you all soon, enjoy the rest of your week...
