{well here I am again!}

It starts with on a sad note. The Waikato has had the most tragic fire at an industrial plant and I just wanted to say that our hearts go out to the family of the Firefighter who lost his life to protect, and to the fireman who are still fighting for theirs.....fight hard guys! It is the first time in something like 25 years that we have lost a firefighter in the line of duty and that has to say something about the way these guys take their safety seriously and do their job. I was involved with the Fire Service in the capacity of a reporter for sometime and I have to say there is a culture or a brotherhood that you can feel between these guys. It is so sad when things like this happen....sad....very sad.

On a brighter note there is cool promotion coming soon that you will all have to watch for......check it out HERE to see what it is.....fun!

My next class is Wednesday at TSS and I can't wait. I love the colours and the papers and generally everything....it just feels good. It doesn't happen often when I really do feel great when something goes together but this felt great. Helps when it is the man of my dreams...lol....my husband, and they are pics that I wouldn't normally have cause he hates his picture being taken....argh! Here is the sneak peak again....fun fun fun

Be wathing the Fiskars blog for a heap of fun stuff happening over the coming Anzac weekend....that is all I will say....it will be awesome, and I can't wait to be part of it.  Click the link you can find here on my blog.

Other than that....teens. I had 5 of them in the house on Thursday night for Kaitlyns 16th and we had a blast! The are all super cool kids so it wasn't hard. Made a huge pot of butter chicken and laughed....remember how old I was and how shocked I was that I was the moth of a 16 yr old girl....HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLP! Here are some pics. Guy in the blue is her boyfriend sam....lovely boy! and the cupcakes....well we won't go there. Had some huge icing disasters but hey....made it all fun! Will leave these with you! Hugs e.
