Home At Last

After a trip that started at 6.50am we were waved off

Do they looked relieved? lol kidding.But they do dont they? lol

 The car was full up with 5 kids one teen and The Captain and I with 2 children who never stopped talking,winging,argueing once in all that time.
The Captain made sure I got to a couple of oppies on our trip Even after I said no its ok it may be too hard to find he went looking and we found one in Emerald (few nice bits) and one at Blackwater where I got a few more bits (pics soon)No vintage dresses tho sadly.Hubby hadnt been up that way in 30 yrs when he used to work there so was a nice trip down memory lane for him.
So with all that stopping and starting  the trip finally  ended at 5.30pm  and I was pooped.

what we must find room for and unpack in the morning.(lots of treasures)

BUT
 as I had been away for 3 weeks the house wasnt in the best state (you know men right?) so toilets had to be cleaned (The Captain did one while I was away  at least lol) Floors had to be vaccuumed and rooms tidied before I even started unpacking.
I am now showered using lovely fresh ( instead of  egg (fart) smelling artesian) water and sitting with  a lovely sea breeze blowing thru the house -after the heat of Blackall its wonderful.(you reading this sis?)
 I also arrived home with 2 parcels waiting for me.One was from the ever generous  Lovely Kylie

 One of her beautiful patchwork creations with N sewn on it awww.Your so sweet Kylie thank you soo much  I love it xx ( just read your post and saw you hate being called Kyles so I had to edit my post lol)

 and the other parcel was from the talented Dee at One Denim Bird blog I won a skirt made by her and in my choice of style and fabric.The skirt is sooooo pretty. Not showing you yet coz I have overindulged over the hols and have to taper down a bit first but its beautiful and I will show you very soon I promise.Thanks so much Dee It really is gorgeous and I look forward to wearing it.
Here is a peak at the parcel I was too excited opening it to take a before pic but she wrapped it so beautifully with old pattern paper string and a lovely tag.

 I think thats it my mind is frazzle kids are still awake and I have to get paperwork signed for the home loan.But that may wait till I wake me thinks.

Leaving you with some more happy snaps.

Best Buds always
