i am looking into "dancing" (saying that lightly) avenues for Miss A, yesterday again she bought up the subject of going to dancing again... so i did a bit of reaserch and found a few place that will take a nearly 3 year old. then in Miss A's kindy pouch this morning there were 2 flyers 1 for Kinda dance and 1 for physi kids, has anyone out there had their children in either of these programs, i would love to hear what you think... please drop me a comment, i'd love to know.. thinking thinking thinking..................thanks for reading........

Play doh....

In our house besides painting (daily) Miss Angel/Monsters and my next (for the mean time) favorite thing to do is play with play doh.. usually she will smoosh it all up, hand it to me and say "look mummy, its a monster"... then ask me to make her 5 thousand other things... but the other day she asked for the play doh box, went outside to the table, and played for a while... these are what she created...
I love them all... they had to stay like this for daddy to see, needless to say the doh dried out, and it had to be thrown away.. but she was proud of her creations...
Yesterday a Wonderful Girlfriend gave me a nice easy recipe for home made doh, so we will be creating again real soon.. I will share Carol's Doh recipe with you......
2 cups plain flour
1 cup salt
4 teasp cream of tartar
2 cups water
tablsp oil
food colouring.
mix food colouring, oil and water in a saucepan and stir in dry ingredients
cook over medium heat for approx 5 min, stirring constantly
mixture will be thick and as it cooks it will come away from the pot and stick together in a ball.
Carol then added to this...."i made this heaps and heaps when mine were little cute children", now they are not so cute teenagers.. - that was my favorite part in the recipe!
thanks Carol, luv ya guts! thanks for reading........Ax

Journals Journals Journals

I have Journals coming out of my ears at the moment... thank goodness i love doing them.. for those of you that don't know, i partisipate in what you call a Round Robin circle Journal swap.
What this entails is that you start an art journal, with stories, artwork, drawings, doodles, anything that takes your fancy, you do a few pages in your own journal, then send it on to someone else, in the mean time you receive someone elses journal and add to theirs, and then you send it of again.. This happens for months and months, and when you finally get your journal back, it is filled with the most amazing snippets of other peoples lives, art, and creativity. I adored the first one i received back, and i have 3 more floating around the hemisphere at this very moment. i will share a few of the pages with you.
These are just a few of my favorite pages, and I cant wait to receive mine back!

THE CATCH UP ISSUE!! for the family not in Brissy!

Hi Everyone, - to all not here, this post is for you, for those that are here and for my blog followers.... sorry this is going to bore you to tears!
Yes it has been a while since i posted on my blog!!! SORRY!!! here is the CATCH UP ISSUE FOR YOU ALL. Since my last post i have become an Aunty! A REAL aunty, well i am a real Aunty to many of my husbands siblings childrens, but this is the first time i have become an Auny to MY Siblings first Child. My Dear Brother and his gorgeous Pink loving Wife had a baby girl, and she is adorable. Please meet Amelia Rose. (excuse granny's mouth in the left hand corner!!)

She is as sweet as pie, and a very good girl for her mummy and daddy... (as well as being a pork chop!) Aunty Niss loves you button!

My little Miss Angel/Monster ... well she is just growing fast and her little personality is cracking me up constantly, she come out with the funniest things.. At the moment she has changed her name to Doctor Mary, or Unicorn.. she is NOT Abby! "Dr Mary" has been a busy bee at kindy, and she is loving it, FINALLY... She has a great bunch of girls that care for her, and they love her very much. Miss A has become fixated on dancing, she wants to do ballet, (dancing with Hi 5 or the Wiggles doesn't cut it anymore!), so i guess that will be her next big adventure... getting into a tutu!
Master BJ is plodding along at school nicely, all the struggles from the begining of the year seem to have evaporated and he is doing well, he starts the Arts/Music extention program early next year and is excited to be given the opportunity to further his studies externally as well as continuing with his normal studies at school. Year 10 will be a big one for him! He is just about to sit the grade 9 exams and has assured me he is ready! (we will wait and see!!)
My dear Hubby is working hard.. as usual, lots of wedding, functions and club commitments (not to mention the pub and golf) are keeping him running, and away from home for most of our "awake" time.. we are starting to forget what he looks like!!! (Bring on Xmas).
As for me... BORING!! Work has been quite busy for this time of year, thanks to the avid knitters who will still knit in summer... WE LOVE YOU! there are lost of classes and knit-a-longs happening at the moment, so its keeping me on my toes, let alone employed!
Well thats about it for this CATCH UP issue of creative"niss", thanks for stopping by.......Ax
