ummmm....yeah......that's a closeup of me.......I hate closeups.......(in fact I hate getting my photo taken in general!)......but the reflection in my glasses is pretty cool.<br />
<br />
then it was time for some movement shots (playing with shutter speed) - and her sisters are always happy to help when they can.....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
sadly we forgot the tri-pod - so <span style="font-size: large;">goob</span> used my shoulder!!<br />
apparently I breathe too much - and ended up spoiling the shots - just a little!!!!<br />

<br />
but it was good to find a great night location beside the lake - and I'm sure we'll be back for more photo fun soon.<br />
<br />
then some shots from the car......of a passing bus........<br />

<br />
fun times!!<br />
<br />
so that was our saturday evening - after spending all day at the netball courts and having fun at the footy - we managed to pack some photo shoots somewhere in between!! <br />
<br />
some nefotlak-household trivia for you - we worked out that currently both <span style="font-size: large;">goob </span>and <span style="font-size: large;">eky</span> have at least 12.5 hours of sport every week - <span style="font-size: large;">each</span>. (includes training, games and umpiring)<br />
and most of that is at different times to each other - mostly 1/2 hour from home each way.<br />
oi - that's a hell of a heap of driving that <span style="font-size: large;">mr w.</span> and<span style="font-size: large;"> I</span> are currently doing most days - every week.<br />
<br />
so between that - and work - and homework help - and keeping them all fed - and general goings on - not much craftiness or room makeovers are occurring over here - <span style="font-size: large;">but</span> when we do get the chance - you can bet that there will be proof of stuff reported on here!!!! I promise.<br />
I hope you can bare with the periods of silence while life takes a front seat for awhile?!?!?<br />
<br />
and I hope that wherever you are in the world - that your weekend was filled with smiles.<br />
<br />
hugz from here,<br />

yes - it's been one of <span style="font-size: large;">those</span> weeks.<br />
mad I tell you.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">completely mad.</span><br />
<br />
so today during my lunch-break at work - I spent some money - cause I can (it's so nice to finally be earning that little extra that can be spent on decorating & fun things) - and I thought I'd share what I done/did!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I found this great chunky bath mat - in the<span style="font-size: large;"> perfect</span> colour. it's like a 'seafoam' colour (greenish/blue/grey) - usually hard to find - but it's the perfect fit for the blues that are in our bathrooms. both our main and en suite bathroom were fitted out identically the same by the previous owner - house build circa 2000.<br />
<br />
over the last two years we have spruced things up quite a bit - but I didn't blog back then - so sadly we don't have any real 'before' photos.<br />
<br />
I'm not going to show you the whole bathroom yet - it needs a clean (I have 3 messy daughters!) - and I'm a tease like that!!<br />
<br />
but to get an idea of the before - think blue tiles, white vanity & bath tub - then yellow-ish walls and - wait for it - <u>gold</u> taps!!!!!<br />
<br />
oh - I wish I had photos. the main fit-out really wasn't that bad - it just needed some tweaks to make it all come together. I will show more soon - I promise. <br />
<br />
however - for now - I will show you the main object of my shopping expedition today.<br />
(well I say shopping expedition - but I just stepped out to get some lunch - and you know - I just had to walk into a shop that sold homewares - and it all went crazy from there!!)<br />
<br />
first I present the 'before' space that was lacking that something special.......(be warned - there are feature tiles in this space!....).....<br />
<br />

<br />
with 3 daughters and a small vanity in this bathroom - some extra storage solutions were needed - and thanks to a little trip to <a href="http://www.freedom.com.au/"><span style="font-size: large;">freedom</span></a> - this space now looks like this.....<br />

<br />
cute yes?!<br />
I was umming and ahhhhing about trying to make one - I'm positive it wouldn't be too hard - but it just wasn't going to happen soon enough for me.<br />
<br />
it comes in a pack with just a few screws - very easy to put together - it's narrow enough to not be in the way - and it fills the empty spot.<br />
<br />
lovely I say!!<br />
<br />
here's a side view for your entertainment.......<br />

<br />
I'm sure I'll tinker some more when I get the chance.<br />
<br />
still no progress on<a href="http://nefotlak.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/itching-to-make.html"><span style="font-size: large;"> the projects I hinted at last week</span></a> - we really have had a crazy mad week. it annoys me more than you - trust me on this one!<br />
<br />
but <span style="font-size: large;">the amazing news</span> I must share - is that my two oldest lovelies made it into their <span style="font-size: large;">state volleyball teams</span> - and they're both heading to <span style="font-size: large;">nationals</span> - <span style="font-size: large;">eky</span> in the u15's in April - and <span style="font-size: large;">goob</span> in the u17's in July.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">super super exciting.</span> I'm so so so proud of all the work they have done over these past weeks.<br />
<br />
so in between all the driving to the various practices (we are racking up the kms on both our cars..), and the helping with school work, working and trying to run this mad house - I do hope to post again soon - when I can - and hopefully it will be something good - or interesting - or - I just hope some of you lovely readers stick around to walk beside me - whenever I do get the chance to share the goings on in this house.....<br />
<br />
I do appreciate every single comment - no matter how small. thank you so much for dropping in and taking the time to say hello.<br />
you all make me smile & put sunshine in my day.<br />
<br />
loads of hugz from here - and I hope that a beautiful weekend is coming your way.<br />

......embroidery hoops, washy tape and a tv cabinet that I'm attempting to pretty up!! there will be more paint and mirrors involved - it's taking a long time to get this one done - but it needed time to evolve from in-my-head concept to hopefully a great outcome.<br />
<br />
will keep you posted on this one.<br />

then some of this........<br />

.....I need me some more cushions in the lounge room - and I'm trying to use some of the vast stash that is lurking in various rooms in this house.<br />
<br />
again - I'll keep you posted as this one progresses also.<br />
<br />
oh - and I just used the new <a href="http://www.picmonkey.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">picmonkey</span></a> - online photo editing software - very similar to the soon to be defunct pinik. I found it super easy - and I'm very happy with the results. (these photos were just snappy camera shots - just fyi) <br />
<br />
we're in for a super busy sport weekend for my two oldest girls. a volleyball day-camp / first netball games of the season (grading time) / trials for netball rep teams.<br />
<br />
hopefully we'll also find out if the girls have made the state volleyball team for nationals.<br />
<br />
fingers and toes all crossed and double crossed here!!<br />
<br />
hope you're weekend is quieter than mine!<br />
<br />
loads of hugz from here.<br />

<br />
if you missed the yumminess of the candy bar/dessert table/complete overload of sugar - you can see more in the previous party post - <a href="http://nefotlak.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/16th-bday-party-candy-bar-dessert-table.html"><span style="font-size: large;">here</span></a>.<br />
<br />
so, as it was previously booked as a 'pool party' - and the weather did not wish to cooperate on the day (nor the week beforehand - nor the whole of summer really.......I digress.......) we decided to set up a photo booth to keep the teenagers busy for a few hours of indoor fun!!<br />
<br />
there were<span style="font-size: large;"> lots</span> and<span style="font-size: large;"> lots</span> of photos - and I promise not to post them <span style="font-size: large;">all </span>on here.<br />
however I will share some of the fun - as it really was a hoot - and something I'd recommend for anyone.<br />
<br />
here's the lovely birthday girl - <span style="font-size: large;">miss goob</span> - just before the guests started to arrive.....<br />

yeah - I'm pretty fond of them!!!! :)<br />
<br />
.....here's how the photo booth looked in our lounge room.....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
we pulled out the trusty box of dress-ups; hung some streamers from some string; added in a couple of tissue paper pom-poms; placed in a couple of lights; had various stools on standby for height variations when needed; used some little white-boards for messaging fun; re-purposed a lovely gold frame from a picture that was never going to hang on my walls (the pic was my mums - and it was always stashed away in the cupboard - so it was time for it to have a new life as a photo booth prop!!); and we stuck the new camera on a tri-pod.<br />
<br />
for those that don't have loads of dress-ups like we do in this family - check out any cheap dollar-discount store and you're sure to find some props for the occasion. I also have more ideas pinned onto my pinterest board -<a href="http://pinterest.com/nefotlak/party-ideas/"><span style="font-size: large;"> party ideas here</span></a>. <br />
<br />
I thought of a few different ideas for the backdrop - however the great thing about the streamers (as opposed to a sheet/fabric) - it was able to be attached to the underside of the cornice with a couple of pins - and removed without barely a mark.<br />
<br />
the girls actually stuck all the streamers together - they just taped them over the string - taping at the back. they decided that a couple of streamers in each colour made a better colour block than just alternating every streamer.<br />
<br />
clever my girls are!!!!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">edited to add: </span>as for the logistics of actually shooting the photos - the girls kept putting the camera on self timer - and snapped away when they were ready. <br />
<br />
anyhoo - I decided all along that I wanted to photo edit the shots (post party) into photo strips - just like out of an old photo booth - so I played around a little in <a href="http://www.picnik.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">picnik</span></a> - and these are some of the shots I came up with.....<br />
<br />

</div>
to give you an idea of the difference from the original photos - here's a direct comparison.....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
the photos on the right were given a <span style="font-size: large;">black outline</span> (as opposed to white on the left) - then under <a href="http://www.picnik.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">picnik</span></a> <span style="font-size: large;">'effects'</span> I hit on <span style="font-size: large;">'gritty'</span> - changing the darkness to only about 20-25%. (it usually defaults to around 40%)<br />
<br />
here is some more fun from my <span style="font-size: large;">eky</span> and <span style="font-size: large;">triple j.</span>.... <br />

and as I said - I won't share <span style="font-size: large;">all</span> the photos here - but here's just a small taste of the fun had by the party girls.....<br />

<br />
I've made up lots of photo strips (with 3 pics) of all the photos for <span style="font-size: large;">goob</span> to share with her friends - as well as another two mega collages like the one above. she can share the digital photo files - and they can print them off themselves if they choose.<br />
<br />
everyone had a great time - no one is ever too old to dress up and have photo fun!!!<br />
<br />
one hint that I must share - have another charged up battery on hand - as ours ran down and we didn't have another. (eeekkk!!) we'll definitely have two batteries next time.......because you know we have to now have photo booths at everyone's parties here in <span style="font-size: large;">house-o-nefotlak</span>.......I have been told!!!!!<br />
<br />
oh - and for those that don't know - the wonderful photo editing site <a href="http://www.picnik.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">picnik</span></a> is <u>closing down</u> on <span style="font-size: large;">april 19</span> - <span style="font-size: x-large;">however</span> there is a new photo editing site just starting up that I was introduced to via the blog - <a href="http://www.realhousewivesofbuckscounty.com/2012/03/byebye-picnik-hello-picmonkey.html"><span style="font-size: large;">the real housewives of bucks country</span></a> - the site is called <a href="http://www.picmonkey.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">picmonkey</span></a> - put together by some of the makers of <a href="http://www.picnik.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">picnik</span></a> - and the lovelies from the fore mentioned blog have a great intro post to <a href="http://www.picmonkey.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">picmonkey</span></a> - do go and have a read <a href="http://www.realhousewivesofbuckscounty.com/2012/03/byebye-picnik-hello-picmonkey.html"><span style="font-size: large;">here</span></a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.picmonkey.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">picmonkey</span></a> has not yet got the collage photo making abilities just yet - but they hint that it will be coming soon.<br />
<br />

<br />
we actually had sun shining on both saturday <span style="font-size: large;">and</span> sunday!!<br />
oh happy days!!!<br />
it's been a very long time between sunbeams around canberra of late.<br />
<br />
on saturday we headed to an afternoon of family fun at a rugby match - watching our favourite team - <span style="font-size: large;">brumbies</span> - versus a south african team - cheetahs. it's also the only place that we get to regularly catch up with my brother - so we love our season tickets to spend some great times with him.<br />

it was a nail biter finish - with our team scoring the final points just as the hooter blew for the end of the game.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">a win.</span> (that's two from two so far). final score 24-23. very nice way to finish off a lovely afternoon.<br />

<br />
the downside of the big 16th celebrations on the weekend ........ <span style="font-size: large;">all day</span> - I have had the headache from <span style="font-size: x-large;">hell!!!</span><br />
<br />
me thinks I indulged a little too much in the table of sugar I shared with you yesterday - <a href="http://nefotlak.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/16th-party-preview.html"><span style="font-size: large;">here</span></a>.<br />
<br />
oooooooo - I'm off to grab some painkillers and then it's off to bed for me.<br />

the party went off without a hitch - apart from the 17 degrees c and heavy rain!!! (eeek - we've plunged straight into winter from a non-existent summer!)<br />
previously billed as a 'pool' party - plans were changed - and we all stayed indoors for the festivities.<br />
<br />
also - party participants ended up being only a half of the original 40 that were invited - as there were many last minute messages from unwell girls. with fewer bodies having to fit within our house - it all worked out much better in the end.<br />
<br />
all in all - a great night was had by all.<br />
<br />
here's a sneak peak of the table laden with sugar......<br />

I'll post more about all the fun when I manage to upload more photos.<br />
<br />
hope you are dry wherever you are this weekend. Canberra is wet and dismal - I'd advise not to come here for the next few days!!!<br />
<br />
loads of hugz from here.<br />

I know.<span style="font-size: large;"> insane.</span><br />
one thing though - as <span style="font-size: large;">goob</span> attends an all girl school - and she has lots of friends - she has decided to only invite girls - and I pray that many can't come!!!!!!!<br />
there have been 3 definite 'no's' - my praying thus far has been working!!<br />
<br />
here's a peak of the colour scheme we've chosen for party day.....<br />

some call them dessert tables.....or candy buffets.....for now let's call it the lolly table!!<br />
and yes - I'm a brilliant drawer - thank you for noticing!!!<br />
<br />
a heap of inspiration has come from the lovely Leanne over at <a href="http://mrsainthecove.blogspot.com.au/"><span style="font-size: large;">Mrs A in the Cove</span></a> (and I ordered just a few little things from her lovely online shop <a href="http://www.sweetstyle.com.au/"><span style="font-size: large;">Sweet Style</span></a>). I'll update you on those next week when they arrive.<br />
<br />
Leanne also shared her recipe for <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://mrsainthecove.blogspot.com.au/2011/05/cookie-pops-recipe-tips-tricks-and-pics.html">Cookie Pops</a></span> on her blog - seen in her wonderful image below - and I'll be trying to make some this weekend so I don't have a disaster trying to make them for the first time on the actual party day!!!<br />

don't they look amazing - can't wait to try making and eating these goodies. (ingredients include tim tam biscuits and cream cheese and white chocolate - oooooo yum!!!!)<br />
<br />
anyhoo back to me!!<br />
I have been gathering supplies and here's some messy pics of the acquired stash so far.....(mostly from discount stores to keep the costs down).....<br />

jars above were great bargain buys from a discount store (similar to '$1 store' or 'crazy clints') - large $13.99/medium $11.99/small $6.50 each. they are the start of my jar collection for the lollies!<br />
(very grotty - and ready for a wash!) <br />
<br />
and the below trays were not so bargain - however they are actually made out of melamine - but they look so much like crockery. they are <a href="http://www.wheelandbarrow.com.au/"><span style="font-size: large;">wheel & barrow</span></a> brand.<br />
<br />

<br />
the narrow plates were $19.95 each - and the square was $39.95. <br />
(hope you like the artful placement of the crepe paper!!!) ha!!<br />
<br />
having a pool and loads of pavers (outside) and tiles (inside) - the option of having platters that won't smash into a million pieces if dropped is a very good thing!! I think these are really lovely. good weight too.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have started to make some labels - the below will be added onto the lolly bags.....<br />

I downloaded some great free labels (found <a href="http://blog.worldlabel.com/2012/handmade-crafters-label-branding-kit-by-cathe-holden.html"><span style="font-size: large;">here</span></a>) - played around with them a little - printed them out on white cardboard - cut them up - then stuck them onto disks of red cardboard. <br />

<br />
a little wonky in places - but I'm pretty happy with them. <br />
I'll be sure to take loads of photos and give you all the details as things move along.<br />
<br />
yes - this is all a huge outlay for a party - however all three girls will be having parties this year - and many in the future - so I'm positive all the major items will be used many many times through the coming years.<br />
and besides -there is that <span style="font-size: large;">mother's guilt</span> thing in play here - they didn't get parties last year - I wasn't working - and we just couldn't afford it.<br />
we're making up for it big time now.<br />
<br />
as for activities to keep the teenagers happy - we're hoping the weather plays nice and is warm so the pool can be used. we are also putting together a back-drop and props for a photo-booth of sorts.<br />
other than that - this mob all love to hang out and chill - so I'm sure it will all go well. they're a great bunch of kids.<br />
<br />
so that's where we're at with the party plans.<br />
<br />
tonight we're off to the first<span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_930921037">brumbie's</a></span><a href="http://www.brumbies.com.au/"> </a>game of the 2012 season. (rugby union - our local team - we're members - and the weather is looking great for a lovely evening!)<br />
tomorrow is netball grading for<span style="font-size: large;"> eky</span> early - <span style="font-size: large;">goob</span> and<span style="font-size: large;"> I </span>are going along to help out.<br />
Sat night - a lovely friend and her baby girl are coming to tea. (her husband has been posted away for 6 weeks)<br />
Sunday - loads of volleyball training for the girls - and loads of homework to fit around in between.<br />
<br />
oh - and some <span style="font-size: large;">huge news</span> - that job I spoke of at the end of the year (<a href="http://nefotlak.blogspot.com.au/2011/11/my-newold-job.html"><span style="font-size: large;">here</span></a>) - well the full-time permanent position (education section) I applied for went on hold - and now it's going ahead again - and<span style="font-size: large;"> I have an interview next Tuesday</span>. (I'm currently working there now - different section - part-time contracted until the end of April. permanency would be great - and the money is pretty good too!).<br />
fingers crossed for me if you can please!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
have a wonderful weekend ahead where ever you find yourself!!<br />
<br />

<br />
it's been a super busy weekend - and I think I need another to get over this one.<br />
alas - it's back to work tomorrow. boo!!<br />
<br />
saturday saw <span style="font-size: large;">mr w.</span> and <span style="font-size: large;">the girls</span> head north to pick up new bikes for <span style="font-size: large;">eky </span>and <span style="font-size: large;">goob</span>. no photos sadly - however we will be taking some family rides soon - and I'll be sure to take some snaps along the way and post soon.<br />
early b'day presents for the girls - and they love them. great news.<br />
<br />
I stayed home and dabbled with housework and study - procrastinating whenever possible.<br />
I'm good at that! <br />
<br />
sunday morning <span style="font-size: large;">goob</span> and <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> went for a short bike ride - then both <span style="font-size: large;">eky</span> and <span style="font-size: large;">goob</span> had 2 hours of volleyball training each.<br />
hard work - however they are learning so much and getting better with every practice. they are really enjoying this new level of volleyball as they have some fantastic coaches at state level. (fingers crossed the girls both make it onto their age teams)<br />
<br />
sunday afternoon - miss <span style="font-size: large;">eky</span> had 8 peeps over for a pool party.<br />
<br />

<br />
a beginning of the year thing - she had one last year.<br />
they squealed a lot - as girls sometimes do - however they had a great afternoon.<br />
we were super lucky with the weather - it was warm and sunny - phew!!<br />
lately the weather has been mad!<br />
huge storm came through friday night; another on saturday that filled the pool to the brim; then another storm threatened just before everyone was about to go home today.<br />
luckily it blew around us and headed out to the coast.<br />
it's been a terribly non-existant summer down here. green - yes - but not very warm or sunny!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">triple j </span>also had a friend over for the fun.<br />

best friends since preschool (age 4) - and still going strong (both turning 10 this year)!!!<br />
it kept <span style="font-size: large;">triple j</span> busy and out of the big girls hair!<br />
<br />
this evening - somehow I got hoodwinked into helping <span style="font-size: large;">goob</span> make 40 party invitations for her upcoming <span style="font-size: large;">16th birthday</span>. (in 2 weeks)<br />

<br />
yes - you read that right - <span style="font-size: large;">40 invites.</span><br />
I think I have officially gone mad to allow this to happen. <br />
I'll let you know if we survive this one.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">for the invites - </span>goob</span> typed them up online (at <a href="http://invys.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">invys.com</span></a>) - we then printed them out on card - did a little hole punching - then added some ribbon for pretties!<br />
<br />
oh dear what have I done?!?!?!<br />
<br />
the week ahead - we have work, uni, school happenings, more volleyball training for the girls - and the start of netball grading for the year.<br />
oh we're in for another busy week.<br />
<br />
hope your weekend and week ahead were/are calmer.<br />
<br />

<br />
today - I reveal that it looks like this....<br />

it used to look like this....(circa 2005)....<br />

...yes - a very scrappy mess - piled high with the contents of our study while that room was being painted and upgraded....and no - the study is still not complete either!!!....yes - that's how we roll!!!<br />
<br />
we painted - the same as the lounge room (as these rooms are connected) - removing the blue feature wall (yay!) - and we pulled up the carpet (it's currently raw concrete - this will be painted - possibly white) and lay down a rug.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">nice change - yes?!?!</span><br />
<br />
I love to walk past this room now (which happens a zillion times a day as it's the main access way between the front door/main bedroom/study to the rest of the house.<br />
<br />
the white dots around the edges are putty patches where we pulled up the nail bits that held down the carpet. there was also a lot of glue bits to sand back from the undelay. we'd love to keep it raw concrete - but it's not in great shape - and finishing it by sanding and sealing is just too expenisve and dusty - so we'll paint. (we'd ultimatley love a wood floor - but as finances don't allow for such now - we'll get by how we can - at least the blue carpet has gone - yay!!! - well in half the room at least - you'll see what I mean in the following photos.....!)<br />
<br />
here's some more pics.....<br />

<br />
and here's the loungeroom today.....(yes I've been playing around with the layout once more - it's an unusual room and difficult to fit it all in with a baby-grand piano - peeking at the left)....<br />

....see - the blue carpet still exists on that side of the room!!!!!<br />
<br />
ah - this home reno stuff is mighty slow when you have 3 children, work, uni, sport - life!!!!! <br />
<br />
but today - I'm feeling really good at the progress we've made so far.....<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">hopes and dreams</span>.......white linen slip covers for the dining chairs, new window coverings (perhaps a roman shade), some art and pictures, some kind of pendant light over the table, some larger base boards (they're tiny in the entire house) and of course the painted floor. <br />
<br />
love this painted wood floor I found this morning on <a href="http://www.houzz.com/photos/325630/Sue-De-Chiara-s-home-contemporary-family-room-"><span style="font-size: large;">houzz</span></a> (and I now have it pinned on <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/66991113177048008/"><span style="font-size: large;">pinterest</span></a>!!)....<br />

yep - I know - but life gets busy - and if the blog has to go into a holding pattern - so be it!<br />
<br />
however - I am starting to get back into the swing of the new year - and hopefully this wee blog will get some more loving!!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">huge thanks</span> to anyone still following out there. I check in on many other blogs often - just haven't had the blogging mojo to actually write a post myself!!<br />
<br />
a wrap up of the biggest <span style="font-size: large;">news</span> items around house-o-nefotlak - just to get you up to speed!......<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">love it!!</span><br />
(it's a 'hybrid bike' - a cross between a road bike and a mountain bike - brand = <a href="http://www.trekbikes.com/au/en/bikes/town/dual_sport/ds_series/8_3_ds/#"><span style="font-size: large;">trek</span></a> - super large wheels - I really really love it!!) <br />
we have also ordered new bikes for the girls - and we are embarking on a new exercising adventure. <br />
so far it's been loads of fun. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. </span>I've lost 8 kilos since xmas!! super happy about this achievement!!!<br />
it's a combination of diet, discipline and exercise. (not too much exercise just yet - but I'm getting there!!)<br />
I have started on the <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.dukandiet.co.uk/">dukan diet</a></span> - recommended by a friend - and so far it's been working really well. (have probably dropped 1-2 dress sizes - <span style="font-size: large;">feeling great!</span>)<br />
will keep you posted as I go. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5. </span>my contract (work) has been extended until the end of april - but now I'm down to 3 days per week so that I can still attend uni lectures and tutorials and study. super happy about this - as the need for extra money has been something that we really struggled with last year. for now it's working well - I love the people and the work - and the money is great. we'll see what develops over the coming months.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">6.</span> <span style="font-size: large;">sport</span> is going to be yet another huge chunk of our lives this year. both <span style="font-size: large;">eky</span> and <span style="font-size: large;">goob</span> trialled for the u15's and u17's state <span style="font-size: large;">volleyball</span> teams on the weekend. both went really well - and now have 3-4 weeks of training (twice a week) until the final teams are picked. they will also have club and association rep <span style="font-size: large;">netball</span> commitments - so we're in for a busy sporting time. <span style="font-size: large;">triple j </span>will again play netball at club level this year as she increases her skills. I envisage loads of car trips around to games and training ahead of us!!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">7.</span> <span style="font-size: large;">goob</span> turn's 16 in march - and is very excited about getting her L's for driving. eeeeekkkk!!<br />

<br />
I do hope that I still have some interested followers - it's been a long time between posts! (eek!)<br />
starting back at work - xmas - camping holidays - having fun......it was time for me to take some time away from the blog. (hope you don't mind)<br />
<br />
I'm back at work again this week - and I'll be working 4 days per week until the beginning of Feb. not ideal (as it's our summer holidays) - but the extra money has been a welcome addition to this household.<br />
<br />
job/study plans are still a little in limbo - but for now I've enrolled in Uni full-time for 2012 (which starts back in early Feb) and we'll see where the year takes me.<br />
<br />
for right now - I wanted to share the last of our xmas decoration photos from around the house. <br />
the girls and I were very busy decorating and making over the weeks leading up to xmas - and I wanted to document that here as we had loads of fun. (other posts in the lead up to xmas can be found <a href="http://nefotlak.blogspot.com/search/label/christmas"><span style="font-size: large;">here</span></a>)<br />
<br />
here's our entrance table - (decorations collected over the years).....<br />

(we also made some air-dry clay tree ornaments one day - but they never made it onto the tree. better luck next year I say!!!)<br />
<br />
so with all the crafting - and decorating - and me working - there just wasn't time for blogging!!! <span style="font-size: x-large;">sorry!!</span><br />
<br />
we had to pack up and leave on 23rd December - as we spent this xmas camping with 6 other families in Victoria. I'm hoping to get some photos together for a big post on those adventures ASAP!!<br />
<br />
I will leave you with one photo of our little holiday tree inside our pop-up caravan - a very sad and sorry version of our <a href="http://nefotlak.blogspot.com/2011/11/christmas-tree-2011.html"><span style="font-size: large;">home tree</span></a> - with a very oversized star up on top - but it was all chosen and decorated by the kids - and it fit perfectly in amoungst all the mess!!!!<br />

got it?!<br />
<br />
baubles = spotlight<br />
scissors = probably spotlight (I've had mine for ages!)<br />
paper = unused encyclopedia pages. <br />
<br />
any questions - shoot me an email or leave me a message. <br />
would love to hear from you.<br />
(I do hope I'm not alone in here!!)<br />

you know - an office / cubicles / all dressed nicely / computers / printers / lunch breaks - the lot!<br />
and it felt really really good.<br />
<br />
the reason for most of my enjoyment was that this job is at a place that I worked at 12 months ago - just for a short 4 month contract (I was replacing someone on long service leave) - but it is a great place to work - and the people are amazing.<br />
today felt like I was coming home!<br />
<br />
there were loads of hugz from surprised peoples - the welcoming feeling was amazing.<br />
I only got a call on thursday about the position (I was their first choice to fill in while they advertise the position) - and it all only got confirmed yesterday.<br />
no time for gossip to spread as it does in small-ish office spaces - most didn't know I was coming back.<br />
<br />
I won't write on here where I'm working exactly - I'll just say that it's a government agency that may or may not have something to do with this..........<br />

I applied for a full time permanent position in another section when I was there last time - and missed out by the smallest of margins. (it wasn't in the section I dreamed of - but it was a foot in the door. someone got the job that had already worked within the section previously)<br />
I was devastated.<br />
at the time I had just met my bio mother for the first time (not a hugely successful meeting) and missing out on the job felt like such a huge personal rejection. I cried at home for hours. <br />
<br />
the thing is - I do believe the universe plays out just how it should (on most occasions!) - and if it weren't for that set back - I wouldn't have finally gone back to Uni to finish my teaching degree.<br />
<br />
however - today I found out that another full-time permanent position is coming up next week - and it's in the <span style="font-size: large;">education section</span> of the department - the place that I really really wanted to work all along - my ultimate dream job of the moment. (plus the pay is pretty amazing - about $25 000 more per year than a first year qualified teacher!!).<br />
<br />
the hours are quite flexible - so I could definitely still do Uni part-time while doing the job - but I just have to make a decision quick - and get an application together.<br />
<br />
lots to think about this evening.<br />
<br />
I guess I could give it a shot - and if the universe doesn't want me to have it - then that's the way it will be.<br />
<br />
oh dear oh deary me!!!<br />
<br />
must go - huge storm hitting down here right now - and I must turn off this computer before it gets fried!!!<br />

<br />
here is our christmas tree for 2011.....(warning - loads of pics ahead!).....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
it's very much similar to last year....and the many years before that......we like to stick with the blue/silver & white theme for our lounge room.<br />
<br />
we bought the tree for our first-born's first christmas (this is it's 15th outing!) - and it's been a brilliant tree ever since. <br />
<br />
the colour choice came from the room coming with blue carpet when we bought it - and we've never had a chance to change it since!<br />
besides - when we do finally change the floor - the kids have made me promise that the decorations stay the same - there's just too many memories and years of crafting in this tree now - and it just has to stay.<br />
<br />
apart from the photo I posted on sunday - <a href="http://nefotlak.blogspot.com/2011/11/yellow-fling-is-over.html"><span style="font-size: large;">in this post</span></a> - here's another two of my santa helpers that are so so so good at tree trimming now. (I've got them very well trained!!).....<br />

we have set jobs - the girls put the tree together - then mr w. adds in the lights. then I add the tinsel - then we all add the millions of decorations.<br />
it's an absolute hoot.....<br />

<br />
all the decorations above in the little squares have been hand made by all of us girls over the last few years.<br />
<br />
and we always try to make something - however small - to add every year.<br />
(I'll post tomorrow about our latest additions so far - we did a little making on the weekend)<br />
<br />
here's some night time magic.....as it's my favourite time to sit and enjoy the sights of the decorations.....<br />

<br />
after seeing oodles of home-made garlands on <a href="http://pinterest.com/nefotlak/x-mas-love/"><span style="font-size: large;">pinterest</span></a> and various <a href="http://letsgomoerkabout.blogspot.com/2011/11/maptastic.html#comment-form"><span style="font-size: large;">blogs</span></a> - I knew it was time to break out the paper punches and sewing machine for some garland fun. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
no tutorial here - it's really rather simple - just punch out circles and stars - and sew them together.<br />
<br />
I used a variety of white/off white cards and papers - some plain, some textured & some pages from an old encyclopedia that I had on hand! I think having a little variety in the garland (even subtle) makes it more interesting.<br />
<br />
I just sewed them together - then hung them over the mirror......super fun, wonderfully inexpensive & it provides instant christmas cheer!<br />

as I mentioned in <a href="http://nefotlak.blogspot.com/2011/11/yellow-fling-is-over.html"><span style="font-size: large;">this post</span></a> - the yellow has been painted out of the little mirror - and we've gone all white in the accessorizing department in the loungeroom (apart from some blue in the tree decorations)!!!<br />
<br />
the room feels so much better - we're all liking the changes. (plus I love christmas time - and all the lights and decorations - so I'm loving this room right now.<br />
I adore sitting here in the evenings - contemplating the world outside. it's so so calming......<br />

<br />
it looks so good when other peoples use it - but yellow and I just aren't compatible with each other.<br />
it's time to say goodbye.<br />
<br />
with christmas decorating starting in <span style="font-size: large;">house-o-nefotlak</span> this weekend - some changes have to be made.<br />
lucky for me - the changes were never huge - just splashes here and there.<br />
<br />
I asked <span style="font-size: large;">mr w.</span> to get down the christmas decorations this weekend (we store them in our roof space).<br />
we usually put up our tree on 1st december - but it's a thursday this year - and he will be away interstate with work.<br />
<br />
just seeing all the boxes - the <span style="font-size: large;">kids</span> and <span style="font-size: large;">I</span> and<span style="font-size: large;"> mr w.</span> just couldn't resist to start right away.<br />
<br />
yesterday before they had even changed out of their pj's - the decorating had begun.....<br />

(one star was added to cover up an instance where some underwear may or may not have been showing - then I just went nuts with the stars!!!! hey - it's that time of the year!!!)<br />
<br />
blue stars because our tree is decorated in blue, white and silver - and yes - there is some crazy stuff going on with that cabinet on the right - I'll let you know when I have finally made up my mind!!!<br />
<br />
apart from decorating madness - we managed to fit in a trip to the movies on friday night (<span style="font-size: large;">breaking dawn 1/twilight</span> for <span style="font-size: large;">goob, eky</span> and<span style="font-size: large;"> I </span>- and <span style="font-size: large;">arthur christmas </span>for<span style="font-size: large;"> triple j</span> and <span style="font-size: large;">mr w. </span>- both movies were enjoyed muchly by all parties involved) - <span style="font-size: large;">and</span> we also attended a 4 year old b'day party at the neighbours. good times.<br />
<br />
<u><span style="font-size: large;">and </span></u>- I may be starting work this week - a 6-8 week contract - back at a place I worked at last year. amazing money - great people - and hoping for 4 days a week (and still allowed to go away over christmas!)<br />
fingers crossed it all gets confirmed tomorrow. the extra money would just be perfect at this time of year.<br />
<br />
so - hope you've all had a great weekend at your place.<br />
hugs from here.<br />

almost a completely new dog!!! (but still loving balls - as you can see!)<br />
it's like an instant super weight loss - just amazing! (oh I wish it were that easy for me!!)<br />
<br />
sorry - no photos of the 'during'.<br />
it takes mr w. and I all our energy to clip this girl - it took over an hour on this occasion. <br />
we gave her the haircut with dog clippers and scissors while the girls were at school.<br />
<br />
here's a pic from later that day - all four of our 'girls' - in and around the pool!!! <br />

<br />
(oh - and I've been testing out that instagram app on my iphone today also!! I like it so far.)<br />
<br />
inside this package are two saloon doors from the lovely<span style="font-size: large;"> Sally and Steve</span> at <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://us-plus-house-equals-home.blogspot.com/">Us+House=Home</a></span> - which I hope to convert into a message centre near our family room. (doors can be seen in<a href="http://us-plus-house-equals-home.blogspot.com/2011/10/sold.html"><span style="font-size: large;"> this post</span></a>)<br />
<br />
in other news - we survived the in-law visit over the weekend (and the speaker is all fixed from my cleaning mishap which I posted about <a href="http://nefotlak.blogspot.com/2011/11/cleaning-fail.html"><span style="font-size: large;">last week</span></a> -<span style="font-size: large;"> love</span> having such a handy husband!) - trying to get back into the swing of things once more.<br />
exam time starting on Thursday for <span style="font-size: large;">goob</span> (year 10) - and finishing up of assignments for <span style="font-size: large;">eky</span> also this week.<br />
the year is winding down - and I'm very happy for that.<br />
<br />
hope things are well in your world today.<br />

I mentioned yesterday that we're soon to have a visit from my in-laws.<br />
they arrive tomorrow.<br />
they haven't visited for over 2 years due to health issues - and they're Dutch (ie incredibly fastidious about cleanliness) - so I've gone into mega cleaning mode to try to exhume some of the piles of dust and mess that are around the house after <strike>weeks</strike> months of neglect due to university commitments - and living life with a busy family!<br />
<br />
here's a peak of our tv in the family room which I've yet to show here in blogland.....<br />

cute yes??? he sits well with my little collection of birdhouses - including the large one that once sat outside - and then later broken in the shed. (I found it recently - dusted it off - and marvelled at it's nature-made rustic-ness!!).....<br />

<br />
and just before I took these photos - I climbed up to give the surround speakers a little dusting - 'cuz once you start looking closely around - you always find more dust around the place.........<br />
<br />
here's a pic of one of our surround sound speakers that sit up high near the ceiling.....<br />
<br />

<br />
that one didn't get a clean (there is in fact lots of cob-webs and dust on top -I've taken this from a more forgiving angle!) - because when I dusted the first one - this happened......<br />

I shall try to avert my eyes from the chaos I've caused near the ceiling - and I shall carry on with making rooms look pretty-ish for the visit......<br />

did you miss me?!?!?!<br />
I hope that there haven't been any disasters while I've been gone?!?!<br />
<br />
I had my last tutorial of the year at Uni today - and my last assignment went in on the weekend.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">yayay</span> - I'm finally done for the year. (and I'm just a little relieved about that I must say!!)<br />
<br />
lots to catch up on - lots to tell - but let's get back to the art lesson I talked about in my <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://nefotlak.blogspot.com/2011/10/just-update.html">last post</a></span> - on Op Art!<br />
<br />
here's my attempt at some Op Art -(I made this this evening to go through the steps!).....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKIPbQVpUtVbY6pnpNjZW_DiCDPRFGzqWH4Te_CxTPo65ZMVhJ8RBesV7zYUOwv9oPltNkevt_sEfYdyxBdsSrdO4Zwimav-5bVY2lDF-6WOOuYG7nqDMFtqR3Ap5Saco5ojUyHYBRiKyr/s1600/Op+Art+15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKIPbQVpUtVbY6pnpNjZW_DiCDPRFGzqWH4Te_CxTPo65ZMVhJ8RBesV7zYUOwv9oPltNkevt_sEfYdyxBdsSrdO4Zwimav-5bVY2lDF-6WOOuYG7nqDMFtqR3Ap5Saco5ojUyHYBRiKyr/s640/Op+Art+15.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
the actual lesson went really really well. the kids were very focused, and loved all the examples I showed them of Bridget Riley's work. (in my researching - I found out that our own National Gallery here in Canberra holds 14 of Bridget's works. I'll have to pop in over the holidays to have a wee look me thinks!)<br />
<br />
I took along a tape measure in class and explained that my little A4 copies were tiny in comparison to most of the works in real life. They ooo-ed and aaaah-ed about that - especially when the little versions played with their eyes and heads on the small scale!!<br />
<br />
anyhoo - here's how I led them through the practical side of the intro to Op Art lesson. (the 2 lessons - for 2 separate classes - were for 1 hour each including a talk about Bridget's work and the movement of Op Art / the classes were both combined Year 5/6) <br />
<br />
I roughly modelled the following on the white board -<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">step 1.</span><br />
take your A5 card - write your name on one side - on the other rule a rough 1cm border in lead pencil all the way around the edge of the card. (this helped so that they wouldn't draw on the tables when the textas/markers were used later).....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDSYB1GRlv6BoxzEsbt32SXM9pkKs5jfmQ6uAImxsmdD4Wld-n6iSwhwv66oQeemR-eT66Tlzp8b_1tOSM7F3DPwtAVZb_rASLlrmzfF37gA9iDtAOngSeE2D7IGV5hQBor7QL8P6qdlrx/s1600/Op+Art+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDSYB1GRlv6BoxzEsbt32SXM9pkKs5jfmQ6uAImxsmdD4Wld-n6iSwhwv66oQeemR-eT66Tlzp8b_1tOSM7F3DPwtAVZb_rASLlrmzfF37gA9iDtAOngSeE2D7IGV5hQBor7QL8P6qdlrx/s640/Op+Art+3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">step 2.</span><br />
with the lead pencil - draw concentric circles out from the middle to the border lines. (I explained that they did not have to start exactly in the middle - they could start to one side - and they didn't have to be perfect).....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOEBmCD2gZK7DoHHHejHUhTCQV_U78LhUIGnJr17qq1Gj7UlgqsGYSr84CZyeMAVRtBw4PBjG4TtkdIQwsFoI1iv9_NPhyJqpA6GzSDky_XvKM-O86NUXz8elImoWwp8RLHRHP6Byd81HP/s1600/Op+Art+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOEBmCD2gZK7DoHHHejHUhTCQV_U78LhUIGnJr17qq1Gj7UlgqsGYSr84CZyeMAVRtBw4PBjG4TtkdIQwsFoI1iv9_NPhyJqpA6GzSDky_XvKM-O86NUXz8elImoWwp8RLHRHP6Byd81HP/s640/Op+Art+4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">step 3.</span><br />
with a ruler and a lead pencil - draw a vertical line through the centre circle.....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioMi-vVwWfnkK6g83UpFrQ7LrK-bFUPYmDvIkcqasNNS3_GEHdpf3Iz7KAAE9Y9ZgzV4kGZ14KZ-F5hzxgpNYy_WB3zq7pNNjX873AUjQwaL3MZK2iBwr87Xry1S8AguUbPMxvNDbO07Zn/s1600/Op+Art+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioMi-vVwWfnkK6g83UpFrQ7LrK-bFUPYmDvIkcqasNNS3_GEHdpf3Iz7KAAE9Y9ZgzV4kGZ14KZ-F5hzxgpNYy_WB3zq7pNNjX873AUjQwaL3MZK2iBwr87Xry1S8AguUbPMxvNDbO07Zn/s640/Op+Art+5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">step 4.</span><br />
add more vertical lines across the whole image - varying the thickness. ie make some closer together and some wider apart.....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBhGycxlyJpH8TT8KYH9h4FOWC5Zd4Bw6kxtnpw_RcGgeJM76vPw5GVsunX1hZdygLInz-3G7rrnXylC40a9P7wKmOg7BAr_XR8cVOdt5j01FYXj8GZcgHFEYX5uLb7ZyOyJJPNSpuDXZd/s1600/Op+Art+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBhGycxlyJpH8TT8KYH9h4FOWC5Zd4Bw6kxtnpw_RcGgeJM76vPw5GVsunX1hZdygLInz-3G7rrnXylC40a9P7wKmOg7BAr_XR8cVOdt5j01FYXj8GZcgHFEYX5uLb7ZyOyJJPNSpuDXZd/s640/Op+Art+6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">step 5.</span><br />
grab a black felt tip pen and start colouring in - carefully. start in the middle....then work your way up and down - then outwards. (white out/liquid paper works well to fix up any mistakes). biggest tip - take your time!!<br />
(from here on in the actual lesson - I let the students run with it - and I circulated to help out here and there - lots and lots of circulating!!!).....<br />

<br />
if you squint your eyes and look at the pic - you should be able to see movement - ie - waves!! (Bridget Riley is far more clever than I - you don't need to squint at her pics!!! - she's very clever - her lines are meticulous - go back to <a href="http://nefotlak.blogspot.com/2011/10/just-update.html"><span style="font-size: large;">this post</span></a> to see again).<br />

<br />
this was a super fun lesson - I had fun - and the kids loved it. sad I couldn't expand on the lesson and get them to reflect more on what they had achieved and then look at making more Op Art - exploring it all a little more. sadly there was no time to fit such a lesson in while I was on prac. (just wait till I get my own classroom!!!!)<br />
<br />
the entire prac was absolutely brilliant. my mentor teacher already talked to the principal about me!!! they want me back when I have my degree! (even if it's just relief work to start with) <span style="font-size: large;">nice.</span><br />
<br />
one more year........one more year......one more year.......<br />
<br />
so - after having such a long break from house business and crafting - I'm raring to get back into it!!!<br />
the in-laws arrive on Thursday for a wee 5 day visit - but other than that I'll be busy as a mad woman around this place! (are mad women busy????? maybe should have stuck with 'bumble bee' !!)<br />
<br />
hope I still have some followers?!?! for those that are still visiting - thank you. I promise to be a little betterer with posting - at least until Christmas!! (insert huge cheeky smiley face right here!)<br />
<br />
hugz from here.<br />

<br />
teaching prac is going brilliantly - loving the school, my mentor teacher and the kids. actually the whole school is pretty wonderful - very very lucky with this placement.<br />
<br />
this coming week will be my last - and I'll be teaching almost full days all week. lots of planning to do - but as it's loads of flow on from last week - I'm sure all will go well.<br />
<br />
I get to finally do some art lessons tomorrow (yay!) - and I'll be teaching 2 classes back to back with the same lesson plan.<br />
year 5/6 are looking at energy this term - so I've planned to do a lesson on the <a href="http://www.op-art.co.uk/"><span style="font-size: large;">'Op Art'</span></a> movement - specifically on the work of <a href="http://www.op-art.co.uk/bridget-riley/"><span style="font-size: large;">Bridget Riley</span></a> - exploring the use of line to show movement.<br />
<br />
here's a couple of Bridget's amazing works from the 60's..... beware - they can make your eyes hurt!!!.....<br />

<br />
in class - we'll look at these and other examples of Bridget's work - discuss using lines to show movement and 3 dimensional shapes on 2D paper - and I'll attempt to work them through making their own Op Art pieces to display in the classroom. <br />
<br />
when it's done - I'll be sure to take some photos of the completed display to share the fun.<br />
<br />
in other news - my heart goes out to those Aussie families today that lost their soldier husbands/fathers/sons/brothers yesterday in Afghanistan. absolutely heart breaking. let's get all our troops home safely and soon please AUS government. our boys are doing an amazing job - but this war (which is not ours) has gone on far too long.<br />
<br />
*sad*<br />
<br />
have a safe week everyone.<br />

the classroom I'm currently in has a smartboard (yay!) - so finding great electronic resources to share with the class has become a big priority. (I wish we had such things back when I went to school - I would have been much more engaged with the lessons!)<br />
the class is also looking at electricity this term - so hands-on experiments are also on the plan.<br />
<br />
whenever I'm on prac - my own kids want to be involved with what I'm currently teaching at school - especially when they spy a great interactive website that I find for the lessons. (who'd a thought - learning can be fun!!! ha!!)<br />
so - I thought I'd share a couple of good finds here for anyone interested......<br />
