I have decided to come back here at Scrap Girls and be more involved again.
-
We are now in our new home. Our furniture arrives tomorrow. We are loving our "Escape to the Country". So many friendly people we have met already and I just love my bigger kitchen.
-
Lat this afternoon we received the awaited phone call from our solicitor to say the contract on the people buying our home has gone unconditional. Now we can make definite plans to purchase our dream home we fell in love with back in August.
-
It is the last day of the year here Down Under so I am popping in to say... Happy New Year to everyone here.
-
I am one very happy lady... my sweet husband is home and enjoying some home cooking.
-
I was just informed of the death yesterday of the lady I was feeding lunch to each Thursday when I do my volunteer work in Aged Care. I am feeling a little sad as yesterday was the anniversary of my mother's death two years ago.

There is something about Scrap Girls that always draws me back. It feels like returning home after being away on a long vacation. I may not be over active as I have taken up something I did for myself when I was in my 20s.... sewing for myself. I also still dabble in designing for the Christian Blog Train I am part of. So you may see the occasional layout in the gallery as I still have my huge stash of Scrap Girls products.

Marilyn, one very special member here at Scrap Girls who is always making lovely comments on so many of our pages in the gallery. Thankyou and have a wonderful day for your Birthday ( 6th March)

For those who saw my Art Journal page about me being on a roller coaster with the selling of our home and moving closer to my daughter.... after a phone call from daughter today I am not sure where I am on the roller coaster - up or down - I think I just flew off the rails. She told us not to rush into buying another home... they may be moving and buying a property with two houses so we can live in one.
-
Looks like I might be starting some serious packing as we may have a buyer for our home.
-
The sale of our home is not running smoothly - hassles with the local council over a room we added. Bit frustrating as we have found another home we really really want to buy.
-
Did you all hear the squeals of excitement coming to you all from Down Under. I had a look at today's newsletter..... and I have won two prizes!!!! Can you tell I am a little excited. Congratulations to all the other winners mentioned in the newsletter.
-
Slowly getting over this horrible virus. Went shopping today for groceries ready for our visitors arriving on Sunday. First day out away from the house since Tuesday last week.
-
Today we were to head to our town via the town where my new laptop is waiting for me but the trip was cancelled. the town is once again cut off with a second lot of flooding. Looking at photos on facebook the water may have reached only our backyard so all things stored in our shed that we saved should be okay, hopefully.
-
I now have my new laptop and am busy setting it all up. Sadly the EHDs my daughter saved from my flooded home does not include my newest ones that had all my current Scrap Girl products so I will need to use mostly older items.

Happy to hear you have a new laptop. I hope you've contacted Angie about your files. She will resend any SG files that are still available. I'm glad you were able to save some things from the flood, but those kinds of losses are heartbreaking. I know a lot of people say they're just things, but there are so many memories associated with them. All but the main house on my dad's property burned several years ago. When you're evacuating, you think you have all the important things, but even years later, we're finding some things were burned that we didn't realize were still in the guest house and shop.
-
Tomorrow morning my husband and I head off in our caravan for three nights at Somerset Dam where hopefully my husband will enjoy some fishing as we celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary. Where this dam is, I am unsure of the reception for my mobile internet so if you do not notice me making comments in the gallery or replying to any posts in the forum... that is why. We will be back Saturday.

My husband is a very happy man. Last week he went to the local museum which is a small village set out, to volunteer. In conversation about all the woodwork he used to do, they have allocated him a workshop of his own to set up and use. He will make wooden items to sell in their Information centre store. With our move to a retirement village I was concerned about what Ken would do to fill in his days...
-
You will not see much of me this week... today my daughter and her 3 littlies arrive with the two oldest staying behind for 5 nights with us. I doubt I will get to the computer much this week.
-
You will possibly see more of me this year as the site where I was very active behind the scenes with hosting three challenges a month closed down last month. It was a sad happening as the site started 11 years ago. It left a lot of people feeling very lost as it all happened suddenly.
-
I am very happy! Today an EHD saved from our flooded home is working as previously it would not work. It has some older digi products with lots of Scrap Girls items.
-
Question?.... when we type in @followed by members user name I thought that person received a notification? I noticed April did that in the winners thread and also Marilyn in the World Tour did that with my user name but I never received a notification. Anyone else not receiving them anymore?

So, I've been digging around on the back end, and found a disabled setting that may be the culprit. The setting is for "Mentions & My Content" I changed it from disabled to not enabled by default, which would mean you would need to go in and enbable it in your notification settings. These notifications will be sent whenever someone mentions you or interacts with content you have posted. This is assuming the @username is considered a "mention" in the forum software. Feel free to try it out and see if it works. Let me know what you find out. I've turned mine on to test it.
-
I have decided to return and be more active again as I do miss this place. I may not be over active just yet as we are preparing our home for sale in the hopes we can move closer to where my one and only daughter lives.

My son-in-law did contract covid from his friend and so far the middle granddaughter has mild symptoms.
-
I have done something to my right shoulder on Thursday when I lifted a wheelie walker out of a taxi - my voluntary work in aged care. It was sort of okay yesterday but today I am in agony if I lift my arm. So thankful I have a pen and tablet so I could do some digi today.

We arrived home last night from our great time away.. the cruise was wonderful and really enjoyed time with my brother and his wife at Rotorua - saw lots of the area. The internet on the cruise was way too expensive so now I need to catch up a lot of emails etc. so hopefully you will see some holiday layouts soon.
