It's still rather cold in the Southern Lakes/Central Otago Area & Winter Fest finally got started with some impressive fireworks - we wrapped up warm & headed into Queenstown to see them - Alicia & Ethan got scared... Katya watched happily!
Just a reminder of how cold it has been:
Been busy with the June kit from Scrapbook Outlet... things should be moving into the gallery over the next week :-)

to all the Rotorua Scrap Campers.... have a blast!

I've done a wee update on the Scrap Retreat blog so for those who are coming - check it out.

Term break started today - wahoo!!!!!

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!
