Well its Sunday evening, what did you all get up to on the weekend? My husband and myself achieved alot this weekend, and it was good spending time with him also.
Lindsay got me some more pallets so i will be able to finish of my outside project. So thats two projects i have got to finish. I will post pictures when i finish. Then i have some craft orders to do also.

A question for all of you, how do you cope when you have several things going on? Are you one of those who jumps from here to there, or do you write yourself a to do list? Everyone is different ,and copes with different ways. Myself i take one day at a time,and like to finish something before going on to the next, mind you it doesnt always go to plan.

TO DO LIST


washing

dishes



Share with me how you cope best

Hello to all, well it is Saturday, and a lovely one it has been today. I was thinking isnt it funny how the simple things make you happy. Today i walked with the boys to the school oval,  oh yer and the dogs. The boys kicked the footy, i walked the dogs around the oval, everyone had a good time, until i got bitten by a bee on my neck. Walked home so my husband could take the stinger out.
The afternoon i spent in the garden with my husband, that made me happy, see no money spent, no dressing up fancy worrying what you look like. Just a average day spent with my family.

What is the simplest things that make you happy?

Hello to everyone, on Anzac Day. Who watched the footy today? it was a great game and i think both teams played well, and yes i go for the pies.

It is a big topic in most families these days making your dollar go further. Who Else practise's this, for me the last few days i have been staying away from supermarket until payday. Yes we are low on a few things, but we have been making do with what we have. Usually i would be running to the supermarket to get school snacks. Today i did not, i had a look in the pantry and had the ingredients to make choc chip cookies, so i can make some of these. Chicken meat also in fridge so that will make a sandwhich, savory crackers in pantry also. I carnt believe it , that saved me a trip to the supermarket.

Guess What? Today i opened a shop  on www.shophandmade.com Called Annies Treasures , i have a few items in there at the moment, and will be adding more. I would love to hear from anyone who would like to share there craft projects etc.

One was the other week i went through my fridge and found celery, a leek, carrots, so i grabbed them. Then was the freezer, yes peas and corn. I chopped the ingredients up, followered by the peas and corn, then i cup up some potatoes and onion. Put them all in my slow cooker, then i reliased i did not have any stock, so i thought mmmmm what could i use to add some flavour, yes i found it good old vegie might, used a tablespoon of this. Put the slow cooker on high for 1 hour, then set to low for the rest of the day. That night for tea yummy hot soup.

The other night Marcus wanted pizza, sick of going to the pizza shop, so i went to the supermarket, bought some ready made bases, pineapple, pizza sauce, shredded ham,cheese and salami. They were a hit , so we will be making them again.
