Hey there

So much is going on at the moment!

I have been working on quite a few projects for the shop and have now finished my page to teach at the All Day Scrap on September 5th. Here is a sneak peek.

The shop has been super busy and I have had a few fabulous days in there! There has been some gorgeous new stock that has come in and I'm feeling rather inspired! I have a real love for Scrapware at the moment and just cant seem to get enough. How cute are these..I plan on using them on my Scrap The Boys class planned for August 25th so stay tuned! MY dear friend Louise is on the Design Team too so pop over and see what she does with the products!


This weekend coming is going to be huge. Sometime ago, all the girls over at Essential Baby thought it would be a great idea to get together for a scrappy weekend and catch up. My wonderful husband suggested that we hold it at our house so that the girls save money on accommodation and we have the whole thing here. So..... Cat, Angela, Sonia, Tiff and Donna all fly in on Friday morning and fly out on Sunday afternoon. Miss Louise will also be joining us as well as Donna's sister so it will be a full house of scrapping, cocktails, laughter, late nights and good friends. Stay tuned for some great photos!


On that note, I need to find space in this craft room to sleep two ladies so bye for now!

This is my take on Jane's Collections frame.

I love it - Cant wait to put it on my wall!

My dear and super talented friend, Miss Louise and I today!

Now and Then

12 months ago!

One year ago my little girl started school!


What a difference a year makes!

Practicing my handwritten titles!

This months Aussie Scrapjack is inspired by someone whos work I have admired for many years, Charmane Koch.

For the first time in a while, I have gone girly and I love the results!

Thanks to Steph for the tissue paper flower lift! :)




Last night I taught this little beauty......

Last Saturday morning a car accident took out the main phone connection for the entire suburb. It's pretty sad to say how much I missed not having internet access. 5 days with no access was great but it seems I rely on it a little too much!

This week has been great. School holidays are in week 2 and Trev and I have spent the whole time with Jessica. Her bedroom got a make over - trip to IKEA and a massive clean out and she came and did one of the kids classes I taught. This morning we went to the movies and saw Ice Age 3 which was pretty great!



Last night I completed my next Page Maps class planned for August 3rd and I love these 3 pages. They turned out exactly how I planned which is more that I can say for the bottom page which went way off track.


I did this one for this months Aussie ScrapJack but I dont really like it.......


Ok ... off to do more jobs.....

Lazy blogger I know! Sorry....

Trev and I had the best weekend!

Saturday morning I taught the "Santa's Magic Key" class and the girls wizzed thru it super fast which was great. Trev came in to pick me up at 11.30am and we went off to Jo & Craig's place for cocktails before going to the football! It has been such a long time since I have been and I had a ball.......admittadley we did have a corporate box so it was comfy and indulgent - think french champange and thai food - but we had a great time AND Port won so that was a bonus! After the game, back to Jo & craig's for more cocktails and a little bit of UNO! Had a ball!
I love this photo of Trev laughing his head off and the adorable Joanne.......

Also, I have been scrapping a little too. These 3 pages are from my Page Maps class on Monday night....
School holidays are in full swing here and Trev is on holidays too which is awesome. Spent yesterday redesigning Miss Jess' bedroom so stay tuned for a photo soon!

OK - off to hang out the washing......................

Quick sneaky peek of Monday nights Page Maps class!

HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY JESSICA

The last week has been fantastic.

Last Friday night we started the birthday celebrations by having a few friends and family over for cake and drinks for Jessica's 6th birthday! Was great to see Jackson who is now 4 months old!

Saturday morning started way too early as Jess decided it was a great idea to get up at 6.15am - typical - sleeps til 8am all week and then on the one day she has no school- up early!
Quiet morning around the house which was nice, quick photo shoot in the back yard - as you do!



Then we were off to Hungry Jacks for the party!

Party went well - Gotta love HJ parties! 8 kids - $50 - free coffee - they do all the entertaining AND they clean up the mess!


Saturday night was the 21st of Laura who is the daughter of our closest friends Wendy & Mark.

Jess had a sleep over with my mum who surprised her by taking her to Disney Princesses on Ice on Sunday! Jess was over then moon and super excited!

In scrappy news, her is the page that the amazing Louise Nelson did of Jessica that is in the new Scrapbooking Memories magazine. Jess was sooooo excited to see her pic in the book!




Soooo much is happening in the shop too. Here is the link to the new schedule of classes- HERE
The new K&Company kids range came in...... soooo cute and the girly Wild Raspberry collection is stunning!
Also I have just ordered in the 6 new Kaiser lines! Have a look here for a sneak peek! I especially love this line!

OK - I really should head out and do some jobs!


Lots of sneak peeks coming soon so dont forget to pop back and have a look! And....
