Ok, so they’re short and fat for fingers but who cares, you get the [...]

hellelujah!

I can finally share a wee secret – take a look over to the right. That’s it. Just under the flashing logos that show where you can find me.
Yep, I can finally share that I made the Up2Scrap Elite Team for 2009. My creations will be in the next Up2Scrap issue due out mid-November and [...]

Been a bit awol…

So thought I’d better update both of my readers… LOL
Firstly there’s been no news on my grandfather, he’s now on constant morphine and is pretty much unconscious but refuses to let go. I’m not convinced he won’t outlive us all. I just wish he’d let go though, it’s been very hard on the family – [...]

And the wait goes on…

No news from England yet, although apparently my grandfather has been saying (somewhat incoherently) “remember the 22nd”. No-one knows what this is supposed to mean (no anniversaries or birthdays or anything on that day in our family), so we’re all holding our breath and wondering if he knows something we don’t…
On another front at least [...]

Rough week…

Now I’ve found out my brother may be needing surgery on his spine today. Years ago he had a car accident and hurt his back, but he’s been ok. Then a few months ago he twisted funny lifting something at work and has been in pain since. He had a gap in his spine and [...]

Back to waiting again…

We’ve just heard that my grandfather is likely to pass away any day now, we were told this a couple of months ago but he’s been hanging on. However it’s likely this time they’re right as he’s been mostly unconscious for a day or so and his body systems are shutting down. It’s especially tough [...]

Inside are 12 soft co-ordinating papers, including 4 with scalloped edges. Also included are 6 puffy felt clouds, 5 co-ordinating buttons, 2 curled [...]

Ok, I’ve caved…

Just for Hannah: here is what I spent the budget of a small african nation on…

The tabletop easel I got from Kiwiscraps for taking photos of my minialbums/layouts on. I got a tonne of cool chipboard shapes, some beautiful new colours of glimmermist (taking my collection up to 13 bottles!), a new sanding block, some [...]

I went, I saw, I spent…

waaaayyyyy too much. Thanks to my enabler I pretty much bought up the stock of SENZ!
We flew out very early on Saturday morning (well the flight was 8.30am but we had to be up at 6am to get ready, pick up mum, get Joshie outta bed and to the airport for 7.30am). The flight was [...]

Leaving… on a jet plane… don’t know when I’ll be back again…

Actually yes I do – Sunday afternoon. Poor Joshie wants desperately to come on the plane with us. I’ve been telling him about going to the airport (so he’s prepared for an early wakeup call tomorrow) and he keeps saying “I come?”… poor wee guy. I soooo hope he’s ok for Steve, still I’m sure [...]
