Big Photo Post!!!

So yesterday was haircut day!

My mum is a hairdresser who works from home so I took Jess to see Nonny for a cut!
What do you think?? I LOVE it and so does she! Each cut Nonny made, Jess' smile got bigger and bigger!!!


BEFOREAFTER




I taught my first kids class yesterday and it went really really well!
This is the page they had to do and they all did the most amazing job!
I was so very impressed!

I decided I needed to show off a few of the layouts! Jessica was the youngest in the class and to be honest I didn't have time to even look at her let alone help her so Jess did her own thing! (you can tell!!!)








And the above photo is of a very AMAZING young girl, Rachael and her brother James. Rachael is the most inspiring young lady I have EVER met. Rach has the most incredible outlook on life and I an in awe of her - so Rach - YOU ARE SIMPLY AMAZING BABE - KEEP UP BEING SO WONDERFUL - THE WORLD NEEDS MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU!!!

After that mammoth post - I am off to make myself a cuppa and read the paper.


Thanks to all the men and women who have served, are serving and given their lives for our country. Lest We Forget.

I got up way too early this morning. Instead of folding the 2 washing baskets full of clothes, I scrapped!!


Three very different pages but I love all of them!




I am teaching my first kids class today! I am rather excited but a little petrified at the same time. I have done a great easy page for them to do so will pop back tomorrow and post some piccies!

Hi there

Busy week so far - in the shop each day - :)

Monday was busy cutting kits for Jane's Mother's Day book. So much work goes into these fabulous projects. Here are some sneak peeks from my completed project! It's just gorgeous!


Had a wonderful class yesterday! I had three very talented teenagers join my class and they did a wonderful job.
I have started teaching a Sketch class once a month. I know all the ladies who read the newsletter freak out when it is described as a "Sketch" class as they think that they will be drawing but a "Sketch" is a page design.


This is my take on the above sketch and the ladies yesterday did such a wonderful job - I was thrilled - Carol's page especially looked great!

So if you see "Natalie's Sketch Page" on the newsletter, dont freak out, call up and book in because it is a great opportunity to learn how to scrap the easy way - from these great designs!!!


Other than that, I am in the process of creating a "Scrap the Teens" page for May 5th using the gorgeous papers from Cosmo Cricket! These papers are great for boys! And double sided too!


But the page will be perfect for girls too using different papers! Will give you a sneak peek as soon as I am done!!!

So stay safe and will be back realllllly soon I promise!

My eye is on the mend now - very bloodshot, swollen and sore but on the mend just the same.

Have had a great week considering! Spent most of Friday at Harbour Town looking for shoes for blossom! Her skinny feet are going to be the death of me! Worked in the shop Friday afternoon and all day yesterday and had a great time - I really love working there - the staff, the people, the overall vibe of the shop makes me feel really good about where I am in my life at the moment!

Busy week coming up too! Shop tomorrow, class with Jane on Tuesday, teaching on Wednesday, teaching Thursday night and teaching a kids class on Friday afternoon!


So here are a few of my favorite pictures from Easter at Bow Hill.
