On My Desk - The Postman Rings Twice


Today's Desk is an ode to the postman/woman.
First came the parcel queen with my delightful Black Apple package, I actually squealed when I realised Sam was here. I also got myself the pencil case too.

Then our postie bought me more Japanese goodies. I so love the purple, I only got a fattie the first time but this is a whole gorgeous yard - Woo Hoo. The boy rock fabric even has a bit of bling too, and one of the coolest selvedges I have seen (Go Miss Ric Rac). I don't mind paying 5 cents extra for my stamps, I hope these fabulous people got a pay rise out of it!!

I also have some plain white that I picked up from Spottie, but that is part of a Sammy Secret Squirrel in another ode to the postie with this Mama. More on that soon.

Also is the list of kindergartens in our area (actually I forgot to squeeze it in the photo). I love being a Mum but I hate making decisions on my kids behalf. Caleb is 4 in the middle of December and suddenly his child care are wanting to know when he is off to school, and recommended taking him to Kinder (thanks for the notice)
Now should we keep him back a year and start him at 5 or 6?
Can we even find a Kinder to get him in regardless?
Will he cope academically and socially?
Why can't you actually talk to someone when you ring up the Kinders, I am now stuck waiting for people to ring me back?!
You get the moral quandary - Hate it!

More desky and love heart action at the lovely Kootooyo.

How Do You Like Them Apples?!

I love Miss Emily at Black Apple!! I was looking forward to her update today and had my fingers in training as these babies go like grease lightning. This is my 3rd shot at getting something and I had my eyes on three different things. Of course Caleb chose that precise moment to chuck a tantrum and I forgot to click Paypal as a payment option on the first one and by the time I realised it was gone. I finally got it together for the last one and got this Sweet Sleepy Sam.
Does he remind you of anyone or is it just me?
