Where can I find some more time....

I have been so busy lately and I have no idea where all my time has gone! I can't remember the last time I scrapped properly and wasn't in a mad rush to meet a competition deadline. I'm off to an awesome class on Wednesday night which will be a welcome change and I hope to kick in some well needed creativity (not that I know when I am going to be able to make any use of it!).

I have the Sydney Stampin' Up! Regionals in 2 weeks so I madly finished my swap cards on the weekend with my wonderful hubby's help (he is a pro at stamping now LOL!). 48 cards down and I am hoping I don't need any more. I still have my xmas cards to make yet.

To make things even more crazy, we decided to get out of town for Xmas and booked our holiday last week! Only 6 weeks and we will be in sunny Hawaii. I can't wait!! We have something on every weekend until we leave including one of my gorgeous childhood friends wedding the weekend before we go - I can't wait to see all my girls, it's been way too long.

Hmmm... kinda wondering how on earth I am going to find time to fit everything in - damn I just remembered I have my work xmas party to finalise in this time and working full time - it's no wonder I have no time for scrapping!

I hope you are all doing well now that I've had my rant and are finding time to enjoy the finer things in life... including scrapping!

Some recent work

A few recent layouts....

This one is for my LSS for a competition this month:


And this one was for the first challenge on the Challenge Chics Forum for the Xmas Hamper. This one was a shabby chic theme and I have been dying to finally use these papers! It's a little overcast here at the moment, so the pics aren't too good.


Thanks for looking xx
