I M H O
IN MY HUMBLE OPINION...I believe 'excuses' are based on priorities...If I make an excuse it usually means I have other (personal) priorities...so it usually means I'd rather be spending my time on 'something else' so if i say already have other plans or I've had my mind on 'other things' eg work (and yes the excuse for no scrapping the last fortnight has been exactly that LOL" ...it USUALLY means...I'd rather be working (e.g. getting my new business up and running), or i'd rather go somewhere else, or even be with someone else OR maybe I just make excuses because I'd rather not let you down or say the wrong thing...I love this quote actually..."The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right place but to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment"-Dorothy Nevill, just saying that's all...ok...so I'm stirring the pot LOL..TFL...I'd LOVE you to leave your comment here (just click on Post a Comment - have a great week everyone.

the anticipated...NEWS!
I am extremely pleased and totally delighted to announce that "MAZZ'S MUNCHKINS" is now a registered business name in Queensland. Oh yes, watch this space...I am in the process of preparing our home to be 'child proofed' in order to become an 'at home' child day care "MUM" (or should I say Nana? LOL)...I truly believe this to will be GREAT for my soul :) In addition there will be a 'hobby craft' aspect of my (small) business....for "Mazz's Munchkins" age 7-107 yrs LOL...of course there are still a few 'formalities' to take care of, but I'm certainly optimistic and looking forward to my new 'journey' along the "yellow brick road" ...of course I'm also 'clicking my heels' in anticipation of receiving a brain, a heart and loads of courage along the way ...and why will you refer me? "Because, because, because... because of the wonderful things I do" ....of course!....please watch this space if you'd like to be updated on my progress and if you've forgotten about 'the Wizard of Oz' please go here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032138/ Thanks for popping into my blog :) (c)This image is a screenshot from a copyrighted film, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by the studio which produced the film, and possibly also by any actors appearing in the screenshot.

Quote of the Day
butterfly kisses
My fairy
Your fairy is called Columbine Goblinglitter
She is a bringer of riches and wealth.
She lives in mushroom fields and quiet meadows.
She is only seen in the light of a shooting star.
She wears lilac and purple like columbine flowers. She has gentle green wings like a butterfly.
