Got a busy weekend planned. Am off to a conference tomorrow - it's meant to be all day, but am going to bugger off at lunch, because the afternoon is a load of rubbish, and I would rather be stopping in at a scrapbooking shop, because I'm out it's way! And Sunday I'm off to an art show with my sister, so that pretty much just leaves the rest of this evening and tomorrow night to scrapbook. Not a lot of time if you could see my list LOL! I'm pretty keen to get the celebrity challenge done and hopefully the Friday night and fortnightly challenges. My BOM hasn't even had a look in yet, and I'm in the midst of doing a care2crop album. So that's my list, ummm don't know how much I'll get done, and it's not unusual in my house for people to turn up on the doorstep so who know's I may be burning the midnight oil (don't put money on me being able to keep my eyes open though!).
Last night my friend Mandy did a Piggy Tales workshop over at Scrapbook Studio and made a
neat board book that has flaps, and they also did a card with one of the new Piggy Tales ranges. Now this sweet woman brought me the cutest little owl chipboard shapes and herself branches, she then swapped them half and half so we got some each. How unexpected and very cool. Now I know Mandy doesn't read my blog, I haven't got her inducted into the dark side yet... yet! But hey, at least I got her onto the SE and then Sketchbook forum and into a few challenges, and she will be joining us for the Waikato crop and at SENZ.
And one of my lovely colleagues Sue made me this delicious date slice - very yummy. I've
managed to covert her to scrapbooking (actually so much so that she is in the midst of turning an empty room into a scrapbooking room!) but haven't got her onto the net yet... yet! LOL! Give me time...
This week I've also managed to fit in a committee meeting for work (ours aren't bad, we have them at a local club and the parents grab a wine or two!) and a Stamp'n Up party, so yippee I've ordered my beloved adhesive. And a punch. And thought I probably needed this years catalogue. Yeah, I know it's online but it's just not the same...
Right, best I get off this computer, cook some dinner, walk the dog, and then get stuck into some serious scrapbooking. Have a good weekend all.
