DROWNING IN PAINT, GLITTER AND EMBELLISHMENTS!

Well, if I do get RSI in my wrists because of painting, it will all be worth it! Crafty Chics has been working on several wooden word orders in time for Christmas so things have been really busy! But lots of fun! During the past few days the Christmas papers and embellishments have been put to the side and we are concentrating on colour combination for children's names and home decor. The paint brushes are certainly get a great work out! :)

TIME FOR ONESELF!

Yes, even when you are busy working with general everday stuff or your job, you need to remember to take some time for you. It is in all the self help books ever published, and every magazine article ever printed, regarding stress and how to cope ( trust me, I've read plenty of them! ) So today I not only talked the talk, but walked the walk! While in the middle of painting several wooden words for our Xmas orders, I made sure that I took some time for me! Unfortunately for my husband taking time for me, meant taking some $$ credit off the credit card! However it was for a good cause, at least that is what I will tell him....work expenses....I succumbed to purchasing a scrapbooking publication from a local web site! It will be worth it, inspiration for more work! There, how is that for a great excuse. Well I'm sure ( hoping ) that it will work for me!
Happy scrapping! :)

TIME FLIES!

WOW!Time has just sped by during the past month! We had a wonderful family holiday at Tangalooma Resort on Moreton Island just off the Gold Coast in Oz during Oct. This resulted in many happy memories being produced and hundreds (and I do mean hundreds!) of photos! Of course these now need to be down loaded, saved to disk and then printed out to be framed and scrapped. As well as that fantastic time, I sneaked off on my own adventure for 9 days recently.......New York! I put my big girl undies on, hitched them up as high as they would go and jetted off! The main reason for the trip was to attend the New York Marathon, which I competed in as a walker and despite being rather sick with bronchitis and a chest infection, I managed to pull off a respectable 6hr 48min finish! So......I have even more photos to sort! As well as that there are several orders for wooden words to be completed before Xmas and......we start our adults Xmas Wooden Word class tomorrow! I must admit, it is good to be busy! And....I am actually looking forward to scrapping all those photos!
Happy scrappin everyone! :)
