Bank Holiday



Well Lesley emailed me yesterday to ask me what I had been scrapping as i had announced that i was going to scrap on Saturday afternoon, well i didn't get round to much in the end. My friend had come over last week, she has scrapped about two pages with me before years ago. It was one of those "I want to make an album of my holiday" requests. where you roll your eyes and think well Rome wasn't built in a day, 11 hours later, yes 11, she went home with 13 pages in her album. When I have friends round to scrap, I come out of my room and spread out on a large table we have in the lounge, but once it's all out, i tend to leave it there for at least a week and sometimes three (I have a very understanding hubby). So what I did on Saturday was one page, and then put everything back in my craft room, I was a good girl, and now my large table is clear for packing kits and goody bags ..... hehehe excited. This is the page i did, its of Robyn years ago, and the papers i bought at a SAG in Holland at least three years ago or is it four? Need to journal on it.

Well here goes my first post on my blog. I wanted to back pedal a little as last weekend was the first ever Scrapstars event. I didn't have a blog then but have been encouraged (and bullied) to start one! I'd love you to read the reviews of the event on Kathy and Kirsty's blogs, they have been so kind and supportive and you can find the links in my list of favourite blogs. The retreats have come about as it is something I have wanted to do for a long time. I was an avid Scrap-a- Ganza visitor and when that folded in 2008, I like so many other tried the Inspired retreat, which I have to say was fantastic, but I don't think I need to say more about what happened to the October 2010 event. I was the lady along with Karen Laverock , who tried to do a "rescue retreat" but as so many people had lost confidence in the whole event, it wasn't viable to move forward. In the end, I decided that as I had been thinking about it for two years, I should just go for i...

Happy and Sad, all at the same time ....

What a funny week, been busy shopping for Scrapstars which has been fun, but at the same time, been shopping with Robyn for her big move today. Yes my little bird has flown the nest. I'm happy because she's happy, I've been trying to focus on nothing but the positives, like she's happy, it's a new big adventure for her, she's only about four/five miles down the road, she works at the end of our street therefore i am bound to see her on Wednesdays and Saturdays, when she is working (probably end up feeding her those nights) and I really love her boyfriend. But if for one minute I allow myself to think that she has moved out, like when my friends have rung to ask me how I'm feeling, or last night when she said "it's my last night at home" or anything like that, well, I'm a wreck! I don't think I'll be able to go in her bedroom ever again, but that's just me being a silly mama :( Just had time to scrap little Nia this week, ahh...

Parcels arriving ...

Well they are coming in thick and fast this week (finally) I must say some of the suppliers have left me with the jitters with these new summer CHA releases only just coming in to their warehouses. If you want the new releases, you have to do it this way, maybe next year, i will pick a date where the products will be in in plenty of time, but then most of you will have already been out and bought them (Kathy)! I guess you saw my post on facebook about the delivery guy and me being in the shower! That was a very strange conversation, he's stood at the door on his phone ringing me and asking "are you dressed" and I say "no, I'll just put my dressing gown on" weird LOL. On another not, Robyn is Brown again! Her hair has been bright red for some time, as shocking as it is, it does suit her, but she's tamed it down a little and taken a couple of piercings out, could my daughter be growing up? Bless, she's a darling. :) P.S. she hates this picture ooops.
