I had a birthday during the week......

and my gift from Mr P and the girls was something I have been wanting for a while........



a manual typewriter!

why you ask?
to use when card making and scrapbooking.

Ironically, this is a more modern typewriter and the font is a bit computer like, than the rounded typewriter text.

The girls had never seen one.

We have all had so much fun on it we used up the ribbon!
Yes you can still buy them, we are just waiting for it to arrive.

I am not one to name 'things' but I have the strong urge to christen HER Ollie.

and here is an interesting tidbit, a sign of the times....

"Typewriter and case made in Western Germany"

Today!

is the first of August!

I didn't blog once in July!

In fact in July, I didn't download the photos from my cameras.

I filled the memory card on both!
(both would be the little snappy, snappy in my hand bag as well as the 'good' camera)

We were on school holidays for two weeks in July and we had the busiest holidays we have ever had. Normally we go to the park, and go to the beach... lots... but this time we went to the movies twice, had one on one days with Nanny, caught up with friends, went to tennis camp and the specialist of all is a certain little someone turned SIX!



the big deal about being six, is you need two hands to show your age when someone asks how old you are!

you can't have a birthday without some friends to help you celebrate.

so we invited a few.
just to come for afternoon tea and some games.....
not for a PARTY.

parties are hard work and this mother can get very stressed.

so they played, and they ate and I took some pics of them,
and then they scrapbooked the pics and I put it in a frame and that was their take home goodies.

at the end of it all, I wiped the table and vaccuumed the floor.

there were 4 little girls that thought I was a legend.

and two mum's inparticular were very impressed :)




ahhhhh, it good to be back!
