A full-on but fabulous weekend, Friday night we watched the Socceroos beat Thailand 2:1 in the first world cup qualifier game. Saturday was a huge day with an early father's day brunch and then a farewell party for Alaine & Kristianne. Loads of fun and laughs!
Sunday we spent remodelling my scroffice - scraproom/office. When I've finished organising I'll post some photos.
Callum at the start of soccer season 2011 - scraplift from Alaine
This week I'll be spending a few days with Alaine, helping with last minute things and keeping her calm before they leave for a month long holiday in the UK & Scotland. Maybe I'll be able to hide away in a suitcase lol

I've thought about participating in this, but I never seem to plan things out too far in advance. I stopped doing the In My Mailbox one because I would get books and then wait months to read them.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a good weekend!
I liked your review of Nanberry. I saw it on NetGalley but I can't request it since it is for Australia only. I may have to pick up a copy through The Book Depository!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy The Girl of Fire and Thorns. I loved it!
Have a great week. I don't blame you for wanting to stow away on Alaine's trip. Sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe you can offer to go along as a luggage assistant? :)
Looks like another good week - I have to check out your review for Nanberry :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun reading this week :)
ReplyDeleteAnd spending time with Alaine
Have a great week with your reading.
ReplyDeleteThanks for spending time with me, as always you calm me down and make me feel better! Wish I could hide you in my suitcase but since I can't we'll get to enjoy this week together and then we'll spend lots of time together when I get back because no one will enjoy my photos as much as you!!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove the scrap book picture, wish I could be that creative. Have a great week of reading
ReplyDeleteI'm going to check out your reviews, you're so positive about the books!'
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

ReplyDeleteHopefully THE GIRL OF FIRE & THORNS will be a awesome read. Loving the cover of the book. ;)
ReplyDeleteNanberry looks intriguing...going over to check out the review.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your reading, scrapbooking, and life!
Here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST and
MY WEBSITE
I used to have a scroffice, but since my middle son moved out, I've taken over his room to get caught up on my trips since 2008. He was a bit put out when he came home this weekend.;o)
ReplyDeleteBecoming Marie Antoinette is one I've had my eye on. Enjoy your reading and good luck with the remodeling!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have been doing far better than I have keeping up with things than I have. I've missed visiting for a while but I'm back now. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove that layout!! You rock at scrapping lady!! Great looking reads too!
ReplyDeleteIt does look like a great reading week for you. Hope you are enjoying your YA binge! :D
ReplyDeleteOh, I love your blog header as well. Very nice!
I know it's been said not to judge a book by its cover, but all of those book covers look really awesome and I am interested in reading them all :)
