Can anyone tell me why I have that stupid Blogger template thing on top of my Blog I want to get rid of it but it has no button to do that!

Hi

Well I'm back from the USA trip and had such FUN!
It was so nice to have a holiday I had forgotten what it does for you after 5 years of not leaving home
I did not find much in the way of miniatures in Michigan but I did find scrapbooking!
Oh dear I bought so much back with me.... gotta sort out craft room and fit it all in now!

So Im still having fun doing that, I actually ordered a cupboard unit this is it but in white Im going all white for my scrapping


I got it from http://scrapbooking.arnolds.net.au/catalog/
I only ordered it yesterday and will be here today!
Im very excited I have never had a  nice storage place only a cupboard with shelves I guess that is fine but this will be fabulous!
Now all I need is a white desk and I will be on my way of a corner for scrapping!!!

So I may have to change this blog name now huh?
So great to be back home again although it is a little cold after having 30c or 80F for 3 weeks with a very high humidity that gets me!
OOps made a big mistake there read the thermometer wrong lol it is 10 c which is 50F!!! not used to it!!! lol

Hello

Hi I have  been trying to post to tell you I'm having a great time over here in MI, visiting with my daughter and her husband as well as my son and his sweet girlfriend also are here, so a great family time!

Lots of  shopping too!!!!

Haven't found any miniature as yet doesn't seem to be a lot here in Michigan, perhaps not where I am right now!

Never mind I have found plenty of other things to shop for!

Gotta gotta get those Michaels hutches though that I must do later this week!

Just been flat out and still tired can't quite believe that it is daylight at 9.30pm never happens at home!      So by 11pm we are still thinking it is early!
