This is my new bible…
I can thoroughly recommend it. It’s so well-written that I understand it and, as a bonus, it’s even funny!
I’ll put it down long enough to say Hi…
About three or even four weeks ago, Kirsten dished one of these my way…

…which was very cool of her and I’ve been feeling guilty about not responding for about, ooh, three days now! (just kidding really - it’s been weeks) Thank you, Kirsten C., you rockin’ chick, you!
I happen to know countless rockin’ girls, so handing this out will be a piece of cake. I’m supposed to give five awards:
Sussanah has to be on the list, because we all know that she wants to grow up to be a debaser AND she loves her husband, and I’m very much in favour of that.
And Sarah, well, she’s the closest chick I know to a groupie! And she is a superb photographer. And when she’s not playing wii she grows mega-veges.
Nicolette is definitely a rockin’ blogger in any language.I get the impression she can make anything.
Craftymum scares me a bit. She finds more hideous craft stuff than anyone else I know, which makes her a rockin’ blogger in the same way that, say, David Lee Roth is rockin’. Remember him? Small pants, big hair? I know you know what I mean, crafty ![]()
Joni has so much energy you can feeling it exploding through the interwaves, or whatever the Internets travel on. She absolutely rocks!
I made another couple of peg aprons today for the etsy shop. I have a real thing for apple green, so it was good for the soul to use some.
I’m really enjoying making projects that don’t take too long. By the way, I haven’t forgotten that I owe some pincushions - they ARE coming, I promise!
And in case you’ve been worried about me and my phone
we’re good now. We kind of have an understanding. It doesn’t demand attention from me and I only bother it occasionally.
I even got a text today from the Prodigal. It said “please please please please mummy send red rock deli chips theres money in my acct”.
What a kid! Does he miss me? No, he misses potato chips of the Right Brand!! (and thinks I would want HIM to pay for them !)

Make him pay for the chips in phone minutes rather than with cash! Talk for fifteen minutes and you can have chips, it’s all currency!

It’s taken me 30 minutes to read this post as I had to go visit all those lovely ladies and then read and read and even sign up for a the daily email at one and oh boy they have a lot to say.
What a man, and he is right about the chips.

Awwww, how sweet. Make him pay. If you don’t, he’s going to expect free chips for life. Tough love now. Otherwise you’ll be on the slipper slope of free chips, free clothes, free music…. God knows when it could end.

YUMMERS!
Kirsty,
Thanks for making my day with the word ‘ROCKIN’. That was so sweet for you to think of me among your ‘rockin’ friends. Love you for it! Thanks, thanks, thanks!
I love those Dummie Books. I have a ’steak of yellow’ across one of my book shelves. They are fun to read, and do give you helpful tips.
Happy to hear your phone has become ‘user friendly’.
Give that kid a case of chips, mom!!!

Oh, Kirsty, here I am having a little mini blogging break, and I come back here, and I’ve got a rockin’ girl blogger mention!
Thanks!

What a great son! Our kids always wanted ‘Perky Nanas’ from NZ. Probably only you will know what I am talking about!
