Hands up those that watched that All Blacks game on Saturday night. Far out those guys looked soooooooooooooo coold. I think the thing that stuck in my mind most apart from the obvious - Dan Carter - was just how bitter cold those guys looked. I know when you are a fan, you are a fan, but there isn't much that would have convinced me to brave that kind of cold and been there. Hats off to those that were.
I saw the coolest thing on the news tonight with the All Blacks. They have started this thing where every baby born on the same day as a home test game get a specially made All Blacks baby jersey. They call it "All Black Birth Rights". Imagine how amazingly cool it would be if one of those bubs grows up and actually became an All Black. That especially gift wrapped jersey for each new baby is so special! I just thought that was so cool! There is some cool stuff on the news sometimes!
Did you see the Tarisota Gallery on it's release yesterday? LIke 275 images or something, and I will share some of mine in the next week or so, including that whole mini album, but I wanted to share these tonight because they were so different than what I normally do - aren't these little houses by Collections so cute?
I'll share more this week. Anyway! I have giveaways to do! I pretty much asked the kids to tell me a number and I counted the posts to that number to pick the winners. It's about as technical as it gets!
Winners are as follows, please email me and let me know where to send the Stampin' Up! prizes (and while we are at it, I better add my thanks to Stampin' Up!) - Phew, what a week.

OH! Edited to add - thanks for the encouraging comments for Jacob! He has his speech competition tomorrow. He is thrilled to be representing his school, they even have a notice on the school noticeboard that says GO JACOB GO!! This is a school with about 600 kids? I think? He is a getting a bit of teasing too, but most of it is encouragement - keep your fingers crossed!

Those houses are great Nic... so different. and the game? I got to watch it on the big screen while at scrapcamp (heaven in my book!) but the hubby was there with nephew and Mr 6. Dry cos they were covered, and warm (really!) so they were wrapped up. I did good getting those tickets!

Those houses are so cute. Do they have a use or just ornamental? (Just my practical side coming through!!)
I have fingers and toes crossed for Jacob as well my legs. Oh, yeah, forgot the last is cos it has been so cold and ya know the cold makes one wanna go to the ladies' room more often!!
Am hanging out to hear Jacob's news. Whatever happens he has done soooooooooo well.
