Very Excited..!

Guest Designer for Bon's Scraps this month! YAY!! Had a stint with Bon's last year and had a blast, so I'm very giddy that I'm being honoured once again. Thanks Bon {mwah}.

Here's the aforementioned layout, from last month's competition - to use the quote "Delight in the little things" by Rudyard Kipling, somewhere on the layout.


Used the GORGEOUS Prima Paintables, my Francheville watercolour pencils and the fantastic AQUAPEN (by Pentel). Other elements are from Fancy Pants, Scenic Route and MM.

This month - being all things about MUMS, use a photo of your mum, or you as a mum.
AND you must use a QUOTE or a JINGLE/ CATCH PHRASE for your title. I think I have a few of those photos lying around (hehe). Go HERE for details.

SCRAP THERAPY RETREAT - had a BLAST. Thanks to Natalie, Relsi, Belinda and Julie for putting together some awesome classes, challenges, food and "entertainment". This was my first ever retreat and I must admit, I was very very nervous b/c you're never quite sure how people you meet online will actually be in real life. I had absolutely nothing to worry about - all the ladies were fantastic and the DT kept the mood buoyant and the momentum rolling along nicely.

Already have plans for the family for the retreat next year!! Will post photos when I catch up on real-life stuff (read=washing, cleaning, blerk!!!).

Also, need to upload photos of Mum's 70th. Went very well. Lots of laughter (Mum had to read the Riot Act to Gab, just in case) but Rainer was sick, so I spent most of the day with him. Poor Vanessah was insanely jealous, but just have to teach the girl to come to me if she wants a hug!!! Thanks to my beautiful sisters for taking the photos while I was nursing my boy.

VERY SAD NEWS.....praying for our dear friend Andrew who is in the US for work, who was involved in a very serious accident overnight. Not many more details yet. Young family, major house renovations, just not good. We pray and pray and pray - can you add one to yours tonight please!!

Also working on a couple of kits and layout instructions for some ladies in Melbourne. Wish me luck!!

INKREDIBLE CLASS has been rescheduled for the 24th May at 1.30pm. Something very tricky in store. Here's a sneak, but you can see the full layout in store or in an upcoming newsletter.














as always....
