Advent calendar

 

I started working on this after seeing one in Up2Scrap & wanted to avoid the children's character ones with a chocolate. I can't imagine I"ll work on it again till next November/December now but thought I post what I have done. I'm going to put bible verses & things we can do together on the lead up to Christmas. Posted by Picasa

Lara your calendar looks great you should keep doing it so that it is finished before next year.
By the way finally put something on my blog and even managed to post a picture so may get round to posting more often.
Also thanks for the Christmas card you sent nice to see we have some things in common.

Wow awesome Lara. I too saw that in Up2Scrap but just can't bring myself to scrap Xmas stuff yet. Can't wait to see it finished.

The advent calendar is a lovely idea. I only wish (last year) I'd seen it earlier in the year ... but I reckon you've got the best idea - start now in January so it's ready (no rush) for December.
Looking forward to progress updates!

I love this - I so hate those chocolate Bob the Builder "Advent' calendars. There's nothing Advent about them. I think I'll have to do one (two?)of these for next year, too.

Awesome Lara! I might do two of these as well! So much more personal and more fun than a chocolate one that falls down the back/melts or is just plain missing! Good on you!

Purging

The stuff can take over.  My stuff was covering my work surface and much of the bedroom floor.  I had to do a big sort out. I was brutal.   Stuff...ready to go. I packaged it in some storage totes I had that needed a new home (I’m waiting for my new CTMH travel system to arrive) and listed it on s local trading site.  It’s gone now. It doesn’t look pretty but I have a desk space and things are organised. The rest of my supplies now fit in this cupboard. Since the ‘purge’ I have had the space to create.  It feels good and it’s great to be able to get to my desk. A few pages made since the tidy up...and a box of 20 cards!

my week so far...

This week is turning out great!  Having time on Monday (Otago Anniversary Day) to scrap with Lynley was just the best beginning!  Lynley was putting together some beginner class stuff that she intends to do soon – it looked great!  I got home to an email from The Scrapbook Outlet NZ asking if I would be a casual/oncall designer for their Design Team – of course I accepted – can’t wait to learn from Rach , Donna & Shani!  Then today I get an email from Jo (subeditor @ Up2Scrap ) accepting one of my submissions – I did send a few mind you so as you can imagine I’m buzzing!  I have packaged the LO ready to send tomorrow after Playcentre. Need to get back to reality though – Mum & Dad’s 50th Birthday this weekend, have to work out what I’m going to say, sort some table decorations & not to mention some way of sharing pictures of them when I only have Friday night & Saturday to do it!  Have to do some Playcentre Admin work this ev...
