mid week update.

With mothers day coming up our local shopping centre ran a competition aimed at mothers of Karratha and surrounding areas to have a day or two of pampering. All you needed to do was write in 25 words or less what it means to you to me a mother. With a possibility of 10 winners the odds would likely be in your favour. The prize is awesome as well, a $150 voucher at the hair salon plus an addition $500 to spend in the centre.. on top of that there is a photoshoot with hair and make-up provided. Thats where i came into it.. i was able to put my skills to use. I loved it. The ladies i met were amazing. Just everyday women so grateful to have someone dote over them. They were all very inspiring and i think Centro picked a really great bunch of deserving mummies for the prize. I met a very strong lady who, last year lost her eldest daughter to suicide.. she was only 15, as she told us the details of her being the one that found her.. there wasn't a dry cheek in the room. We also met Kelly who battled cancer.. and WON! As well as Tangiora who is a mother of 8.. her eldest being just 15, who is also very busy taking part in a lot of community based events. Each one of them admitted to not spending enough time on themselves and devoting a lot of there efforts to their children, which made it that much more satisfying to be apart of our little team ( Hayley from Lucky Star Photo Booths and Photography and Renae from Hairdressing by Renae) in our makeshift studio to make them feel just a little special, even if it was just for a day. I can't wait to see the the end result. They are going to be featured in one of the local newspapers. I'll definitely post them up when we get them.

Our week so far, kindly bought to you by my iPhone. 

Ze brushes getting a workout.

Kit.

It was such a small room. But Hayley (photographer) made it work. 

Our newest addiction/procrastination tool is Draw Something. Ill admit the first night i played it i was up until early hours of the morning versing randoms, brushing up on my sketching skills. The best part is playing with people you know.. especially family and close friends. Mick and I are on a pretty sick winning streak..thats because we have so many inside jokes, if we were to draw it for someone else they would think we were crazy. Im enjoying playing against my mother-in-law..she is very good...as well as Ardeth, she gets my crazy doodles. I always try and take pictures of really cool ones but as I'm admiring them the moments gone. here are a few for you to stare at in wonderment and awe....

Mick is so handsome. that is all. 

Mick is currently reading The Hunger Games Series, because my books are all being lent to other people  he is forced to read it on his iPhone. it's so good though. 

Ethan finally keeping up his end of the bargain.
