heavy metal

Party was yesterday! Miss K is 5! She'll be off to School next Wednesday after many happy days at Playcentre - going to be strange just taking Mr E with me each day & leaving the girls at school.
Here's the card for daring cardmakers for this week - I used metal heart brads given by Paula with some gel-a-tin stamps I purchased from her :-)
We were up till 2am on the day of K's birthday & I'd been up till 1:30am the day before getting an A-Z album finished for Katya's present so am still rather tired! J did it too which is nice for Miss K to have an album that both her parents worked on for her. We got her a gorgeous castle thing that is Lego! It's so nice to see some 'girly' lego, hope they make more! She was really spoilt with gifts from her grandparents, cousins and friends! Off to get a coffee!

Lovely invitations! Happy Birthday to Katya! Better make the most of E at home - they grow up way too fast don't they? The A to Z album sounds a great idea. Going to give us some peeps of it?

Cute invitations and a fab card, I love the mix of patterned paper you've used here, and the little heart brad really lights it up.

Cool invites!

My sisters and I had a suitcase full of Lego which included a castle with knights, a portcullis and drawbridge. We also had a working train too.

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!

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...
