Operations 12 & 13

I'm back... from school camp that is! We've just been away for a few days at camp and we've had a great time :) I went go-karting... went down a HUGE flying fox and even swung out of a tree on the Tarzan rope and landed in the lake! Lots of fun but EXTREMELY tiring!!!

Now I'm home and have totally enjoyed having a bit of time in my scraproom! So here's the next couple of Operations!

Operation 12: Luck - I'm a big believer that we make our own luck - the choices we make and the way we face challenges determine how much 'luck' we have in our lives. Something that I believe is pure luck though is Lotto! Would I like to win the lottery... of course!!! I buy a ticket most weeks and probably one of the things I really enjoy is daydreaming on a Saturday about what I would do if I actually did win! I never check my ticket until Sunday morning... that way I get a whole night to imagine winning! I've had a little bit of luck... around the $30 mark... but you never know... one day I might just win LOL

Operation 13: Spring - I love spring! I love the days getting lighter earlier... not having to light the fire at night... the beautiful blossoms and the sounds of birds in the trees. I think I must have always loved spring because Mum found a letter that I'd written to Nana (my great-grandmother) when I was about 5 and in the letter I'm telling her all about spring:

Dear Nana

How are you? I am well. In spring the blossoms are being pink and white. The Sinton's are having new baby lambs and daddy is getting cows in with our baby calves. Our house is nearly finished. It is being painted and when we went to the zoo.

Love from Shelley

I have no idea about that last sentence... obviously we must have been to the zoo LOL I really love the little sentence about the 'blossoms are being pink and white'... sounds so cute! It's a real treasure having these letters... thanks Mum for keeping them for me!
