scraps

Thanks to No. 8 Wired I finally scrapped the menu from my 30th Birthday dinner. It was something that was, then wasn't, then did finally go ahead... thanks to Jase & Andrew the chef at Waitiri Creek - it was delicious! It was over a year ago so nice to see it on a layout.

Cyber Crop at Scrap of Faith last night. Sal's challenge was to get someone in your house to set you a Biblical theme & it had to include at least one Bible verse & something that isn't a 'traditional' scrapping product e.g. plastic, fabric, felt etc. I went for strips of felt that I made the asterisk with. I used a large white brad in the centre and dotted it with pink paint.

Wtih all this snow, my package for Scrapbook Outlet work hasn't arrived... couriers aren't coming to my place, needless to say I'm not leaving here either - my car got me home.. but untill I get chains I won't be taking it out in the snow. I'm really looking forward to this pizza box, & some photos from digital max... so bright & energetic - just what I need when looking out at all the white snow still covering our deck & the lawn where the children haven't been sliding down! Off to put a loaf of bread on!

Awesome layouts, Lara. Love the idea of scrapping the menu - and boy it sounds delish!! You are sooooo lucky having a husband who is a chef!! I'm green with envy!

I must find more time to spend at SOF because those challenges sound really fun!

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...
