Non Scrappy Related Post ;)

Wednesday Trevor and I did the 8 hour drive to Port Lincoln for the memorial for my Uncle Geoff. It's such a long drive but so much easier than forking out $600 in airfares then taxi's around Lincoln. Heath and Leona very generously put us up at their place and I'll happily be back to stay! Their house is on the entrance to the Marina and is just beautiful. Dinner Wednesday night was purchased direct off the boat - fresh prawns! Thanks so much for your hospitality guys!

Thursday morning was quiet - breakfast at a cafe then some shopping! Of course I did a trip to the local Scrapbook shop to have a nosey and bumped into someone who knew who I was (from my blog) which was a bit weird but it was so nice to feel welcome in a great little shop!

The Memorial went really well. Trev and I were quite taken aback by the number of people who came to pay theur respects - easily close to 500. There was so much I didn't know about my Uncle and now I have so much more to be proud of. He was a pretty amazing man.

This is my Aunty Sue, Mum, Mum's closest friends Pam and Anne and me.Mum's brother John (who looks a whole lot like my brother), My dear 86 year old Nana, Mum and her sister Anne.
And this is my cousins and a couple of thier children - (I am holding Georgia who is my cousin Graeme's daughter and Jo is holding Ruby who is Karens daughter)

The memorial was held at the Port Lincoln Yacht Club and the flags were at half mast

Thursday night, Trev, my cousin Greame, his mate Rusty and I went to Schnapper Rock and did a bit of fishing - actually Trev did the fishing and I took photos. It was the perfect way to finish off the day.




The drive home was long but getting home to see Jessica for the first time in 3 days was totally worth it.

Hi there

Quick post and run - Got a million things to do before we head off to Uncle Geoff's memorial in Lincoln.

This is last night class! Loving doing boy pages at the moment!

Had the best class last night!

I am loving doing boy pages at the moment. I have used the Tough and Tough range from Fancy Pants and Scrapware chipboard for this page. I have to print a couple more photos of Patrick andd it will be finished!


This is another page I have done for Scrapware. I adore this photo of Jess so decided not to overdo the page.

And finally here is the first sneak peek of the Page Maps class for December.

Good Morning

Thanks for your kind words and thoughts about the passing of my Uncle Geoff.




So time to show off a few of my Scrapware projects........

Here is the post about the new Design Team


This first one is inspired by the amazing Steph Devlin who I have the pleasure of working with.

These are the new Gisha Dolls!

Sooooo very cute!

Will pop back and post more later!

Again it has been a long time between posts.

The horrid heat here in Adelaide has made it almost impossible to do anything. 10 days with temps above 35c has been incredible. Lots of air conditioning and lots of staying inside.

I have been making LOTS of scrappy projects but I still cant show you them!

You see.........I have been accepted as a Design Team Member for my FAVOURITE scrapbooking product - Scrapware! I am soooo very excited because not only is one of my amazing friends Louise on the Design Team too but I adore this company and their products and use them on almost everything that I do so for me ths is a dream come true! I am thrilled. So over the next few weeks I will be able to show off some of my latest creations using Scrapware new release products! YAY!


Thank you to the amazing ladies that have been coming to my classes too! Here are a couple of the pages I have taught recently....



Also, later int he month I am doing a great class making Christmas Cards with the Cuttlebug machine! So here is the sneak peek I promised!


This coming Thursday night I still have a couple of places available in my "Scrap The Boys" class too - starts at 7pm and will be a nice easy class! Call the shop on 08 8277 1298 to book in!


On a sadder note, last week I lost my favourite Uncle. Uncle Geoff passed away while transporting a yacht off the coast of Indonesia. Geoff was fondly known as "Megga" in the Yachting and Sailing Industry and will be sadly missed. Next week we hope to celebrate his life in Port Lincoln. Please read this lovely post about him from The Port Lincoln Yacht Club..

Fair Winds Uncle Geoff

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me,
And may there be no moaning of the bar when I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep.
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep,
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell when I embark:
For though from out our bourne of time and place,
I hope to see my pilot face to face,
When I have crossed the bar.

Some time ago I purchased an instruction sheet from the USA to make a POP UP house for a layout! It was so much fun and here is my end result!

Here is a sneak peek of the double "Scrap The Boys" page on Thursday November 19th at 7pm.


Also, there is still room for this Thursday night class - "Scrap the Girls" single page!

Call 8277 1298 to book in!

Morning

Just thought I'd take 3 mins and show the pages we did last night for Page Maps!


Sorry I have not updated for a week or so but I have been working hard on some scrappy projects that I cant show just yet! :)

Lots to show soon! I promise!

Stay tuned! :)

Thanks for the lovely Cuttlebug class yesterday ladies - apologies for being a total ditz! [you kinda had to be there!]
