How Bizarre Ruby Star

We got the keys to our new house today. hooray! So I will take the most delicate items across to the new house myself. We have packers coming in on Monday to pack the house up and sometimes they aren't always very careful. 
I will take the Xmas tree over too and put it up this weekend so it will be ready when we move in. I love Xmas, who doesn't hey? Oh well, don't answer that perhaps..lol...

Today I baked TWO black forest cakes.
One for my 12 year old who has an assignment due on Germany. 
Yes that's right, I'm doing HIS assignment, well part of it anyway.

Well this year has just gone in a snap. So much happening and not enough time for blogging.
My sisters have been ON MY CASE about my blog. More of it they say.
Truth is, I go quiet when things are not good, and I've had some worries with the kids that are ALL fine now. And we were told a month ago that our lease is being cut short and have had to organise a move prior to Xmas. One more week and my life will...

We all have them. Ours is July... we have no less than 13 birthdays and had a few kids party invites thrown in there too.
So you can guess what I've been up to.
Always trying something new I decided to do vinyl covered pencil cases for the girls, I've never sewn vinyl before. And the boys got peek a boo toy sacks after I found THIS cute pin on Pintrest....
