What a weekend!!!

Well I have been sooo busy over the past few days that I literally have not had time to blog!
So I have heaps to share with you tonight :)

Well saturday morning saw the third Scrummy Blog challenge go live. This time it was Theresa's turn to set the challenge and she came up with a great one! To use felt and real sewing on a layout or card! Here's my effort!


I love this photo of me taken by Anita!! I am well known for my fits of the giggles and she caught me in giggling action! I used some of the Princess papers, angel kiss, Queen & Co felt, some ribbon from the scrapbook shop, for the record journaling stamp and some other bits and pieces from my stash mountain!!!!

Saturday afternoon was our local crop at Morpeth! As usual the class kit went down a treat (chalk garden.....scrummy!!!) If you're from up here....why not join us? We meet the second saturday in each month...email me for more info!

On the way home from the crop I saw the most amazing sunset.....it was one of those that literally take your breath away. And I actually had my camera with me! So I pulled over, wound down the window and started snapping!



Sooo pleased it didn't miss this amazing sight!

Then it was home to announce the winner of the first challenge :) Congratulations Anita!!!!

A quick shower and off for a well deserved night out with Kim!

Sunday it was Vanessa's turn for the challenge and pockets was the order of the day! Vanessa's example is stunning (nearly stole it at the crop!!!) and we're really looking forward to seeing what you all create!



I made a card for this challenge using our Mellow kit!

Sunday was a long awaited day off....and boy did I need it! Did absolutely nothing and thoroughly enjoyed it! We had another winner to announce on Sunday evening..... Tracie was the lucky winner! Congratulations!!!!

Yesterday I took delivery of 4 boxes of delicious new goodies for the shop! Have managed to get them uploaded so you can go have a peek here! I can't wait to start playing with them and making some samples for the gallery!

Today I have been out and about with Theresa this morning. We were finishing our shopping for the advent swap on UKS....its a tough life!!!

Right I'm off to update the shop gallery!

Catch up soon
