Hi Everyone,
2009 is coming to a close and I've been taking a bit of time to reflect on the year that flew by in the blink of an eye and look forward in anticipation on the year to come. My year ended very differently to how I imagined it would....I am writing this blog entry from my room on a remote mine site in Pannawonica in the north west of WA. I started my new job (kitchen hand) here on Christmas Day and to be honest, this is the first night I've been awake long enough to turn on my laptop and find out what's happening in the real world.
So why am I here?? That's a question I've asked myself at least 50 times in the last 3 days... but more than anything it was a financial decision.
It's hard to make a good living in the transport industry (hubby's a truck driver) and so I decided it was time I found a 'real' job that would make a big difference to our situation... so here I am, broken nails, sore feet and all... The best thing about it is that my darling girl Bianca is also working here so I get to see her every day now and I've got a desk in my room so I've brought a small amount of stampin' gear with me so I can still stamp in the evenings if I can stay awake long enough.
As for my SU business - well that's taking a back seat for a little while, just till I get myself settled into a new routine. I've given up all my classes and workshops but I hope that once I'm in routine, I can fit a workshop in during my week off work. Of course, my lovely team members will always get my support and help when they need it - I can still be contacted by email and mobile phone - and that goes for my customers too....... I can place orders for you, just email me with the details.
I'd like to thank you all for your friendship and support in 2009 - lord knows I've needed it.
I hope you've all had a fantastic Christmas and I wish you love, luck, health, wealth and happiness in 2010

WOW!! Panna (bloody) wonica!! haha I lived there for a few years from 1981!! spent most of those years away at boarding school in Perth but still have fond memories of riding my bike with my brothers out to Pannawonica Hill!! It was Cliffs Robe River Mining back then, I remember sitting in the deck chairs watching movies at the drive in!! Spending half my life at the pool and the other half playing PacMan at the lunch bar!! I remember waking in the morning and finding cows on our front yard eating the Frangipani's and jogging on the footy oval in the mornings and there being heaps of kangaroos!! It has probably changed heaps now, but I did have fun there and made some lovely friends!! Say hi to 14a Fortescue Street for me!! (and thanks for the little trip down memory lane!!) I hope you find time to stamp, are inspired by the beautiful colours of the Pilbara and enjoy your time up there, it is (was) a lovely little town!
