Look out! Run for the Hills!

The town I live in is right on the Loddon river, or Loddon lake should I say…

In all the time I’ve lived here, I have never seen the water so high that it touches the bottom of the bridges! We are apparently on high flood alert as of last night and it’s looking like there will be water over the bridges soon! Eeep!

That red line is where the bank of the river usually is!

I don’t think our house is really in danger, we are at the higher end of town so there will need to be a lot of flooding before it gets to us :)

I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who commented on my market disappointment post. You guys seem to understand markets a lot more than me! It definitely was the wrong audience I think. So I’ll research some of your awesome suggestions and see if I can find one that suits my craft!

Thanks again everyone who made me feel less of a failure!

Taking stock

Yesterday I listened to Neil Mitchell on 3AW radio. The story he was reporting mostly was about a little girl named Mikayla who is 6 and terminally ill. Her family has been advised to bring Christmas forward to this weekend (which is also her 7th birthday).

See the story here

Isn’t she beautiful?

Her Father said something that really pulled at my heart. When she was in hospital Mikayla’s Dad had to tell her she wasn’t going to live much longer. The poor little girl was worried that she would be forgotten once she was gone.

Neil Mitchell has asked for people to send her a birthday card to let her know that she wont be forgotten. So today I got a Tinkerbell card (she loves fairies) and I sent a little present with it.

I attached the butterfly in this pic to a little necklace for the birthday girl. I really hope she likes it and that it takes her mind off things for a little while.

So if you live in Australia or even if you don’t and you want to let Mikayla know she will not be forgotten you can send a card to:

Mikayla Francis

Care of Menzies Creek Primary School

12 School Road,

Menzies Creek 3159

VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA

 

My thoughts are with Mikayla’s family.

Cherish these precious moments with your special little girl. Thinking of you.
