I was getting a little worried, seached through Kmart on Sat, as they had " buy the second item at 60% off"
But I was setriously struggling with finding something...
anyway on Sunday John was taking Jack to DFO and I just had to go aswell, went straight into portmans and found this " to die for dress" only $19.95!!
Marked down from $139.00!!
Can you believe it!!
This is the front:
this is the back:
Now I just had to have new earings and necklace so having searched e-bay for a while I came across this little beauty!
$7.00!!!!
I'm happy with that!
Sooooo Happy!
Anyway showed Dot at work these photos and she just loved the dress, she then forwarded the photos to her sister who fell in love with it too!
After a short phone call to Portmans, they have agreed to hold two of the same dress for Dorothy and her sister Lisa, I'm off right after school drop off to DFO to collect them!
HOW EXCITING!!!
so much to tell you, Michelle, Rach and I have been madly planning for Divas, hence my absence form my blog,let me get it all down here, before I forget

I used 3bugs in a rug Diva Devine pack being sold in the store, its awesome paper!
I have to get more.............http://www.scrapbookdivas.com.au/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=351&zenid=0d48ea876005a6ab2fcdcbb5c88522a0
$5.00 is all it costs with a 35% savings amazing!!!
I walked past the telly and heard the name Thomasina, and got one of those flash back, Black and White movie, a little girl late one night chasing her cat that leapt out the window...... does anyone remember this movie??
Apparently its not available here in Australia, I'd so love a copy......
its on Amazon, does anyone know about amazon??
One night, Thomasina runs off and doesn't return. Mary finds the cat hurt badly and brings Thomasina to her father, who promises to save her, even though he's in the midst of dramatic efforts to save a blind man's seeing eye dog. Like many others before, McDhui declares his daughter's cat a hopeless case, and has her put to sleep.
To say Mary takes the loss of her cat companion with difficulty is a great understatement. Though the youngsters of the neighborhood honor Thomasina with a proper ceremony complete with bagpipes and song, Mary feels all alone and she proclaims her father is dead.
Fed up with McDhui's readiness to put sick animals to sleep, Geordie's friends set out to put him out of business by passing along word of what he's done, even to his own daughter's pet. With his daughter not speaking to him and the neighborhood weary of his practice, Andrew McDhui is at a loss.
The Reverend Angus Peddie (Laurence Naismith), unable to comfort Mary, recommends that her father goes to see the 'witch' that folks are turning to in spite of his science-based veterinary. His hope, as is McDhui's, is that something can be done to make things right again.
