some playing & a tag

Here are some Lo's I've done - playing with some Cherry Arte - I'm really enjoying a break from Basic Grey - but looking forward to seeing IRL some more of the new BG collections (UC, H10 & CMS). Also loving some Cactus Pink chipboard letters.
Love this LO of my girls - they do the silliest things together & have heaps of fun - till one of them cries anyway!

Katya has the most stunning facial expressions & this is just one of them!

Vicky tagged me but I'll do it later - just discovered my computer won't let me cut & paste from word to here- how annoying.

Got all my DT work for TSO complete before the Playcentre/school term started back - I got to play with lots of Oh Baby Boy Papers - had fun but need a break from BG - till next week any way! I'm looking forward to my brief for next month too. Check my gallery after the newsletter is out (you can find the link if you scroll way down to the bottom of this page - any tips on how to get this back up would be most appreciated) to see what I've been doing.

I have a note to put out about a crop the Wakatipu Scrappers are having for National Scrapbooking Day - on May 6th from 10am till 10pm so need to send that today, also have some planning to do for our scrap camp to be held Queens Birthday Weekend in Queenstown -better get on with it!

blenheim

We are currently in Blenheim. Have been doing some of the wineries - a work trip for Jase - we just get to go along! I'v been playing with some of the phaunt actions by Kylie Banks- my faves are phaunt magic instant & then beastly colour. Got the links from an online class at Scrapbook Outlet with Mandi Haynes. above: Katya on a walk in Waikari with Jases parents. Below - Harold the older giraffe at Orana Park, just before I met Vicki & checked out the stamping up catalogue. Jase & I joined a winery tour today - was a great way to meet some different people & to see & learn a little bit about some of the local wineries. Feel quite isolated without my home internet connection though!

Cheese Rolls

Spread sliced bread with Cheese Spread (see below). Roll up. Toast in oven & serve hot. These may be frozen and heated when required! cheese spread: 1pkt onion soup; 500g tasty cheese - grated; a 400g tin of evaporated milk; Put all ingredients in a saucepan and heat slowly until cheese melts and mixture thickens. Stir well. When cool store in jars in the fridge for sandwhiches etc or put in your cheese rolls! Yep, the Up2Scrap Elite Design team has been announced - soo privileged & excited to be a part of it. Congrats to Donna , Rach , Lianne , Trina & Sue & thanks Steph & Jo for the opportunity:-) We have been in Invercargill overnight - nice to get away even if it is only for a night! We went to Queens Park & the Museum/Art Gallery today & the Art Gallery Cafe served these cheese rolls -yum! Such a lower South Island thing - but soo good!

Awards

Wahoo, I won one of the Awards For Excellence with For Keeps - for photography! I've just collected my prizes from a friends place - she went shopping to spend my $500 voucher at Scrapbookers Delight in Auckland for me - how cool is that a prize & a personal shopper!!!??? Any way I got quite a few bits of patterned paper, cardstocks (still need white!!!), a new trimmer, an embossing heat gun, some stazons, some distressing ink a new cutting mat, some cool powders, adhesives & tombow, anyway, have to go put it all in it's place so I can use it. Niks coming up tonight so we can play - have a tag to make for our cyber friend Sal of Scrap Of Faith as she had her fifth baby - Cowper early this morning - Congrats Sal! Anyway, gotta vacuum since Niks coming....
