School Holidays have started

and I have so many things on the go!!!!!! The Demo at Spotlight Albury went well all the ladies were very interested and enthusiastic!!! It was great to see. Then on Friday I had an impromptu trip to Melbourne for a Xyron Demo, very very long day after travelling down there and doing a bit of product sourcing and pick ups around as well. Then after the demo I had my Pencil Lines sketch to do because i hadn't had time before hand. This week sketch was sponsored by Francis Meyer's and the Guest Design Team member Nathalie Kalbach. The layouts are all so different I think mine is a little plain but that might have been due to the fact I did it very late at night on very little sleep and I shouldn't have left it so late in the week to do?!?!!? But the other girls have done an awesome job with there's. The Francis Meyer's products were such great quality and you can get some for yourself by just entering a sketch in this week.!!! So what you waiting for get a layout done and enter.!!!!


I was straight back home early Saturday morning for the Scrapping Angels workshop here in Wodonga. I was a little late?!?! thank goodness for my fantastic business partners ( my sister Tara) it was all going very smoothly and they didn't miss me at all. On only a little over 4 hours sleep i don't know how helpful I would have been anyway. Had to catch up on the house stuff on Sunday!??!?!? Not my favourite thing in the world but it's got to be done?!?!??!

Now this week I have 29 pieces to do for another project that I'm really excited about, so finger crossed they all go well. I got a good start on the first 18 of them today I hope the rest come along so well. This was totally unexpected and very short notice but I'm going to give it my best and my friends and family have shown me once again how awesome they are, with all their support and helping me along, you gals are fabulous!??!!?

OK off to bed so I can get a good nights rest and then get stuck into it again tomorrow.

Things are back on track

Ethan is all better and I'm back to working at full speed. On Saturday I had my first Spotlight demo & Make n' takes for Fiskars. We were using the Britnay's CAstle range of Paper....mmmmm its so yummy!!!!! Had lots and lots of very eager ladies sit down to make a card and tag, and lots more watching and getting tips and ideas for all the fiskars tools. It was a really wonderful afternoon.

I have a Spotlight evening for fiskars coming up this Thursday in Albury. So if your in the area come along and get your hands on some of these awesome Cloud9 papers and get the know how on all the fiskars tools. It's great fun and you'll go home with an awesome card and maybe even a tag. Here's the flyer that came in the Spotlight mail out.

And today is Monday so the newest Pencil Lines sketch is up and available for viewing. Its so great to have the time to be doing some Pencil Lines work again, it's so inspiring!!!! this weeks sketch has been done by the lovely Aussie sensation Sarah van Wijck who is also joining us this week as our Guest Design Team member. Here is my take on her sketch....

Another photo from my trip to Paris, I'm totally loving scrapping my trip!!!!I have used the Basic Grey ' Infuse ' and Creative Imaginations papers, Heidi Swapp alphabet, silhouette word and flower. My Minds Eye buttons, Prima flower and leaf, EK Success word, American Craft velvet ribbon and ric rac.

Sick little one

Sadly my busyness didn't last long, oh I still have loads to do but sadly Ethan came down with the chicken Pox!!!!! Yep just what I needed (not) last week. He was itchy and miserable at the start of the week and then bored and miserable at the end of the week. All is well with him again now and he is back at kinder today, so now I have loads to catch up on, as well as other work to continue with, lol. Life's fun isn't it. lol.

So last week was my first week back at Pencil Lines, for my stint while Anne is away visiting family in Seattle, it is great to be back doing some sketches for a while, I do enjoy them. I will have another one next week so if you haven't go and check them out. We have a really huge month coming up, its so exciting. But shhh i can't say any more.

I missed going to the Craft show and working with the Fiskars team, with Ethan being sick I couldn't leave him for others to watch, kiddies just want Mummy when their sick don't they. Which was very disappointing as I do love working at the shows, meeting so many new people is aways fantastic.

This week and next will be great though as we have a local crop tomorrow night and then I have a trip to Shepparton on Saturday to the Spotlight store to do demos and make and takes for Fiskars. These are really awesome, so if your in Shepparton come along to make some fantastic cards and tags. The papers are so nice, just love them.

I have been scrapping up a storm, but sadly nothing to share as it has all gone to magazines?!?! But that's cool will share when they come out.
