PagesHomeRecipes Wednesday, April 7, 2021 A sad Easter....

Just before Easter my Uncle Ronnie died... it was a sudden but maybe not unexpected death.

I'm not sure I know the exact details, but he has a pain in his back...been to see the Dr's a few time got no real help or answers, a few months later we hear his in hospital... turns out that has Gold Staph infection.

Was placed in a medical coma, and put on kidney dialysis....after a few more test they discovered the infection was in his spine... then he just slipped away....

Today you are laid to rest, and my heart aches...

It's hard to be close when we live on different sides of the country, but Uncle Ronnie, you always had a special place in my heart. Full of beans all the time, typical small-town boy, full of stories, friend to all, grew up to own the local pub... Moved to Dubbo and brought the caravan park, then Coffs Harbour where they owned a self-storage business.

Rest in peace Uncle Ronnie....

Well, it's now the end of January 2021...and true to form I didn't get into the habit of update my blog regularly like I want to...

One reason is, I started a part-time job, merchanding for Hallmark

Which I love, but after having a desk job with Mystical Scrapbooks since 2008... being on my feet nearly killed me!! I started in November 2020 and it took a good month before my poor, tired, and unfit body started getting used to it!

I now only ache in a manageable way....

So scrapping has been a no-go while I try and meld the two jobs together.. Mystical and Hallmark, I think I'm starting to get it together ( Touching wood while saying 3 Hail Mary's)

The idea is to work 3 1/2 days Tue- Wed- Thurs, leaving the afternoon evenings for Mystical.... and I'm sure I will get faster and actually manage to get home just after lunch at some stage!!

Some highlights of the last few months...

I held a Halloween lunch birthday for Sue and Yvonne on the 1st of November. And had such fun creating the decorations.

I made Vampire teeth napkin holders

Found these stunning candle holders on FB marketplace

Gary help me hand witch's hats and brooms from the patio roof

The gang...
I made a birthday cake, layers of white chocolate and mud chocolate.

The Menu:Gravestone Sandwiches - Cucumber cream cheese
Monkey Brains - Meatballs in an onion gravy, served in a pita cupDevil EggsIntestines - Long homemade sausage roll, with dollops of tomato sauceShrunken heads - Jacket baby potatoes with faces carved in them, oven-roasted and served with avocado, sour cream and garlic dipRoast chicken and salad
Mini quichesand I'm sure there was something else, but I didn't take many photos of the food so I can't remember!

I even found a fogger on eBay to create a witch cauldron

Our Sister Witches

I brought in some new Halloween papers, but I've not scrapped these yet!

Then it was time to decorate for Christmas....

I've been playing along with Soul Scrappers year-long competition "Soul Survivor" and I've been loving it!

I've got later and later each month uploading my page, but haven't missed a month yet!

And here's my October page...

This month's brief was Fish, Sand Shells. Pick 1 or all 3. Depending on how you look at it I have all 3 if you count the photo.

Shells - chipboard shells with a bit of Wink of Stella sparkle.

Sand - actual beach sand from Esperance, it's the most super fine white sand you will ever see!

Fish - in the photo!

I've used the gorgeous Seaside Serenityrange from Studio 73. You can find it here

Shells from Memory Maze and beach sand from Esperance.

I had lots of fun fussy cutting and layering.

Thanks for stopping by...

Mystical Scrapbooks September CC is all about Paint and Ink..

My page is our Easter 2020... which due to the Covid 19 shut-down, it was a non-event!

Bunny left some treats on the table and a few hidden eggs around the house. No Easter pancakes for breakfast, no family morning tea with hot crossed buns.... and a cancelled Easter lunch with the girls...

Mum dropped an egg for Ethan off at the door and we waved to each other from the doorstep, once Mum had moved back to the driveway.

But it's was a small price to pay to keep everyone that I love safe!

I always forget to come and blog... I guess everything goes up on Facebook these days, I kinda feel it's a bit repetitive blogging stuff too.

It does make it easy to look back on things, so I'm going to try and get back into the habit, just for myself as I don't think anyone reads it anyway!
