I've been a little slack LOL

ok where has the last few weeks taken me..... I went on the Scrappy Hollow retreat with Kerryn ... it was great... the theme was Grease and it was great to see everyone get into it. Kerryn and I thought we were being original in our costume choice, only to get there and find that the store owner and her staff had the same thought as did another lady LOL never mind.




They played the movie during dinner and I think almost everyone sung along... one table singing male and the other female.
I was happy with what I managed to get done.
There was a Design Team Layout for One Stop Scrapping, a Book of Me Layout, a circle journal (cover/title page/ intro and my double page) that the design team are doing. A year in review album (Title page/Jan and Feb).A card, I started another Layout and also did a gift basket class and a waterfall card class. For me this was alot. :0)







We are buying a new car, which we will take possession of on Wednesday :o) It's a Ford Escape 4cyl which is smaller than what we currently have. We are now debating wether we stay a 2 car family, or sell the Falcon and continue on from where we already are with the 1 car. Decisions decisions.



Only a week before we head off to Mum and Dad's yay!!! It's going to be so good to catch up with them again and to finally meet my new nephew Braiden. (and see the other 2 nephews and 2 nieces as well as my brothers and sisters in law)

I have really been loving the product that Trace has been sending me to work with. The Kaiser stuff especially. Kaiser have seemed to really take off just recently with all the new things they have coming out. I would even say they would be my favourite at the moment. Why not pop in and see the range that One Stop Scrapping have in store at the moment at very reasonable prices too :0)





Brad is loving school and coming ahead in leaps and bounds. Sian's only problem with kinder is that it is not long enough. Kerryn was telling me about the snowman that she made from playdough the other day and even used sticks for it's arms etc. Sounds so cute, she is definately my arty/crafty child and Brad my sporty guy. But that's ok everyone is different.


A huge congrats to Bon and family on the birth of their daughter today. :o) She will be so wrapped that she has a daughter to go along with her gorgeous boys.

I am also feeling rather jealous of my friend Jaki who is heading overseas to the UK in less than 2 weeks. I so love the UK and am looking forward to the day we can go back to visit. I hope that they have a fantastic time over there (I am sure they will!!)
Good luck to Tammy on her future endeavours with Remember When Paper Company, keep an eye out for her chipboard designs in future months :0)
Hugs to Mel and family who is going through a really rough time at the moment. Thoughts are with you all.
and finally a huge goodluck and fingers crossed that all goes well for my friend Kerryn and her family. I hope that everything goes the way it should go rather than the way it has been going for you. (hugs)

*Ciao for now* :o)
