Big day for DS





Well, I think we've survived our first school ball. This week we've had to deal with a break-up with the girlfriend, choosing and hiring a costume (cheaper than a suit he figured), all the afterball drama, arranging cars (that fell thru on the day)etc, etc. All went great tho. He went as John Travolta and his partner (a longstanding mate) went looking like a princess. A whole group of them had a pre ball at someones house and all the parents came too. One of the girls dads had secretly hired them the largest limo I have ever seen and DS called in at midnight to change and said the band was amazing and they danced all night. Now, assuming he comes home allright from the mates he stayed at after the party afterwards, we've survived one. As he is only year 12 there will probably be another next year....now, how could I get to go too????

Only 5 days and counting till CC06. Not organised yet but getting there. DH has this weekend off so I'm trying to not do scrapping stuff and spend time with him.

Cheers

Fantastic photos.

Just wanted to say I was rapt to meet you at CC2006. How cool to meet in real life - I no longer have to refer to you as one of my 'imaginery friends'!. Hope you had an amazing weekend.

i met you because i am trolling the net seeking to form a register of kiwi scrapbookers interested in making what we on www.remembering.co.nz are to call Heirloom Scrapbooks. we need the register because our plan is ton introduce grieving families to a scrapbooking artist nearby. that way no photos need be sent through the mail etc. this is a new idea so it won't make you megabucks immediately. but we hope, after seeking the opinions of everyone on the register, to price the product high enough to make just one worth the artist's time, expertise and caring patience. My wife and I have our home on the Coromandel but we house-sit in Tauranga where we work as journalists. Remembering is our dream development, and we love the work involved although at present the site is costing us money to operate. we are not worried tho cos we believe in the purpose and feel it will create its own rewards for all those involved. i will now go and figure out how to become a blogger! nice to meet you.
register on the site if you wish. my home email is: dbab@xnet.co.nz
