Merry Christmas

This will no doubt be my last post this year as I head off to Hawaii with hubby for a much needed holiday on Monday. As we planned the trip at the last minute, the last few weeks have been extremely busy and tiring trying to get everything done before we leave and trying to catch up with as many family and friends as we could. Unfortunately we ran out of time, so we will have to see everyone we missed in the new year.

I just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and hope that you have a wonderful New Year. See you all in 2010 (with hopefully some happy snaps from our holiday!)

Best wishes xx

Welcome back blog.....

Wow it's been a while since my last post. Apologies blog followers.

My blog is now back to a personal blog and my business site is separate, so that I can go back to enjoying sharing my work again (well when I have time again to actually get anything done!).

I am off to a product day scrapping tomorrow with the gorgeous new High Tea range from Delish Designs. Happy Birthday to Scraploot as we will also be celebrating their brithday in the process. I booked in for it agaes ago and had forgotten about it....  am hoping to have a fun day of scrapping and be inspired to get a heap finished when I get home - I still have DT work to finish and a few challenges too, fingers crossed :)

I hope you all have a great weekend :) xx

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

DT work

A sneak peak at some recent DT layouts I've done for Scrappers Garden. I can't show you the full layouts yet as the kits have not gone on sale yet. The papers are from the Madame Royale Collection from We R Memory Keepers.
