Time Out........again!

Well the last few weeks have been rather busy for me, that's why I haven't been around much, well at all really! To fill you in....

Gemma danced well but didn't place in her Competition - She was very nervous and had really only just learnt the routine so in my opinion I think she did really well! Thank goodness the costume stayed together.

My Scrappy Sunday last weekend was a huge success once again thanks to all the ladies that attended. We had a couple of birthdays to celebrate on the day - one for Jen and one for Mistra - Thanks again Mistra for bringing along a yummy cake. I wasn't overly well on the day and was very grateful for Mistra's contribution!

Instead of a Scrappy Sunday next time I will be running a project workshop with free time to scrap in the afternoon. Details will be released in the coming week or so and I will be taking registrations via my messageboard on my website.

Next Saturday 3rd May I will be doing a Make and Take at Tomorrow's Memories as part of their birthday celebrations - If you would like to attend then give them a bell and book a seat - I think there are only a couple of spots left so you will have to be quick!

The school holidays are nearly over for another term and I am really looking forward to getting some "creativeness" flowing again and getting out my camera some more. I seem to be in a perpetual state of starting projects and not finding the time to finish them. My dining room table is currently covered with our family photos and I have been trying to sort them into some sort of order since reading Stacey Julians' book "Photo Freedom", heck I even bought all the bits and bobs to file them into! But do you think I can find the motivation to finish this mamoth task? I'm just going to have to I know.....but.....ok no more buts, I will finish it by Friday....I hope.

So what do I do with my time.....read blogs like this one.....I can't wait til the next chapter.....and make new blog banners....do you like?

Anyway I think it's time for coffee and a cuddle with my hubby on the couch....what better way to spend Sunday afternoon.

Another week gone!

Wow I can't believe it's the 4th March today - 2 months of this year gone already! Week 5 of school and Easter is just around the corner.

Being a long weekend here I have managed to catch up on things around the house so this left me some time to scrap. Here are 3 layouts all done yesterday....

Gotta love the We Are Memory Keepers White Out range of papers (MaDscraps stock them) - these kind of papers really end up doing all the work for you. The journaling on this one reads "You are so different in so many ways, yet you are difinitely sisters. You say the same things, ask the same questions and have the same smile!"

It felt great to actually get some scrapping done for me.....I have a pile of photos to get through sitting here on my desk....maybe I should take a leaf out of Alli's book!

I have scheduled the next Scrappy Sunday for the 20th April and already we are fully booked!! The response has been amazing....thanks girls! I can start a waitlist if you like, so if you are keen to come along let me know and if there are any cancellations then you can have a spot. I think Steve is going to have to build me a workshop!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sneak peeks for all the classes Hyden Retreat have gone up on Karen's blog so go take a look see because there are some awesome classes lined up!

I hope to get some more creating done this week so hopefully I will be back with more show and tell!

Have a great week everyone.

Sneak Peeks

Classes are being finalised for the Hyden Retreat on 28th-30th March and here are sneak peeks at my Off the Page and Layout class.....

Karen should be sending out materials lists etc sometime in the next week or so. The classes for the retreat are shaping up to be some of the best yet and I'm looking forward to the weekend and catching up with everyone again. There are still some places available but the retreat is filling fast so you had better be quick......contact Karen here. If we get numbers from Perth there will be a bus running so if you are interested let me know....I'm the bus driver!!!!!

Paper Pesto sneak peeks are up for the March kit and they look very scrummy indeed, go check them out! There's some B&W with a splashing of colour and even some lace paper I spy.

My next Scrappy Sunday is in the planning and you can sign up here for it, I've narrowed it down to 2 dates so check in and let me know your preference.

I need to get creative - I need to create - not today though I'm out for lunch, maybe tomorrow? Nope out tomorrow too, will have to be Thursday. OK so hopefully I will be back by the end of the week with something new.....don't know what but something.

OK I'm off now, take care and catch you soon.

Scrappy Sunday

Well it was a FANTASTIC day thanks to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are some photos from the day.........Morning/Afternoon Tea...

My lounge room transformed....

The Chef......and didn't he do a fabulous job with lunch (I forgot to get a picture!) - Continental rolls and Gourmet Pizza! Yum...a couple of the ladies wanted to "borrow" him. OK I won't call you DH anymore I promise!

and the girls doing what we do.....scrap and chat!

I can't thank you all enough for making the day a success, I had a great time and hope you all did too! Can't wait to do it all again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On another note, I did a Photoshoot for Jen and her family the other day and it was the first time I had met her husband and 3 gorgeous sons. It was late afternoon and whilst I was a little distracted with my hubby not being well, I think it went off really well. Jen would probably beg to differ but her boys were just being boys. Jen got to sit and look through her photos today and tissues were not too far away for both of us - Jen reacted this way to exactly the same photos I did went I edited them late last night. I'm sure she won't mind me showing off a couple here.....

There are plenty of others that I would love to post up here too but you would all be here forever.....these 3 are pretty special even if I do say so myself!!!!!!!

Jen is a very special person and it was an absolute pleasure to do this for her .....love ya Jen.

Oh yes and Vicki received her present on Friday and she loved it.....see here. I made her cry too! In a good way.

Anyways I'm off to put my feet up and have a wine or two. Take care and have a great week!
