Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #125

JJ Oh Dear Santa I can explain.

Sunbonnets Present

Wow what a day let lone a week, blogger hasn't loved me for days I've finally got my commenting finished and then my photo's decided to have a panic attack.

Well New Zealand WON the World Cup Rugby on Sunday night the final game was nail biting.

The final score against France was

New Zealand 8 -France 7

It wasn't a good game as the scores should have been higher, but I think both teams were totally exhausted after nearly 7 weeks of playing Rugby at that level the best in the world. 

I'm meant to be having a quiet week,  my eldest has gone back to boarding school and my youngest is on school camp but it's been more than hectic I think because it's been a short week after a long weekend.

Today is Wednesday and that means it's Sweet Sketch Wednesday and Arlana has a wonderful new sketch for us this week.

Another week has come and gone and it's Wednesday again.  Sunday night my DH and I went to the All Black's game V's Australia in the World Cup Semi Final.  We had awesome seats I felt like I could reach out and touch the players and the atmosphere was electrifying.

Of course we won 20-6 now our team has made the final which is this Sunday evening and we are playing France. 

GO THE ALL BLACKS. 

This weekend in New Zealand is a long weekend it's Labour weekend and on Monday evening we have to take Liam back to boarding school and on the Tuesday Ryan is on school camp so it will be very quiet in our home next week.

Today is Wednesday my favourite day of the week because it's

Overload At School

Guess What?????

My husband and I have been given tickets to the Semi Final

of the Rugby World Cup

New Zealand V's Australia

and the other Semi Final is

Wales V's France

We can't wait. 

I have two boys that a very disappointed they aren't going but all the tickets are sold out

and our tickets are $800.00 each so No I won't be buying my boys tickets as children's tickets are the same price as Adults.

I 'm taking a man that has a broken arm in 2 places!!!

My husband was driving home from work on Sunday afternoon in his brand new Jeep and a car was coming straight for him on the wrong side of the road.

  Sorry girls but it was an American Tourist on his way to the airport and he had forgotten what country he was in he was from Washington.  My husband saw him coming there was nothing he could do but to slow down and Mr USA ploughed straight into him.  So for the last 3 1/2 days I've been with him at the hospital on and off for X-Rays and another new cast today that's 2 in 48 hours.  They were going to operate but have decided not to thank goodness.   He's in good spirits, upset about his pride and joy that's his Jeep not me.  It's his left hand and we are all left handed in our household.   He gets a little frustrated as he isn't allowed to drive because of the way his hand has been set in the cast as he isn't allowed to move his thumb. 

Well for better news it's Wednesday and that can only mean one thing it's

 Sweet Sketch Wednesday.

Congratulations to all our winners this week there were some amazing cards which I hope to finish visiting soon as I spent 6 hours at the hospital today waiting seeing a doctor, and X-Ray seeing the doctor again and another new cast.  He only had a cast put on on Monday that's 2 in 48 hours. I also have both of my boys home as it's school holidays and today it's pouring with rain.

This week Arlana has another

Wow  it is another Wednesday here again, tell me where did the last one get too?  This week has gone so quickly.  I have one son on a 3 week holiday break and the other starts on Friday.   So I have both the boys home for their break.  The weather here is getting warmer so we might spend a few days at our Beach House as long as it's not raining.  

Because it's Wednesday it means it's Sweet Sketch Wednesday and Arlana has another new sketch for you to work with.  Congratulations to our winners this week there were some really lovely cards.

Krista Smith from
Saturated Canary Digi's 

My name is Krista Smith. I am the artist behind the Etsy shop, Saturated Canary Digis. I began working in the stamping world about a year ago when I was hired to create rubber designs for the sweet Scottish company, Sugar Nellie. They launched my artwork under the name 'Simply Sassy.' I moved into the digital world just this past month (it's been a super busy month, indeed!). And-- I love it!! There is a little more freedom here, as I can create anything that pops into my head:)! I am so humbled by the artistic talent of the girls coloring in my designs-- it is truly an inspiration! Likewise, I am so thankful for the friendships I've made in this wonderful and lovely crafty community! It's been a true delight! I'd love for you to stop by my challenge/inspiration blog, Saturated Canary Challenge and join in the fun...And, while you're there, click over to my personal blog (Saturated Canary) and introduce yourself! I am a bit eclectic and touch on everything from family (I've got me a great one!) to fashion (obsessed!)...Please say 'hi!'...I'd love to be friends!:)
