This arrived today...





And it has made me very happy :)
I got a call from the job interview I went to as well. I haven't called her back though. I'm not sure what to do if I'm offered it??

Happy Saturday!

The weather isn't looking too great, I have workio later but I had a job interview yesterday - it's unsuitable, I think as only a 6 mth contract but it's all good experience and I've been making!!




I used this studio calico range for a LO that is summing me up right now...




And this one is expressing that I know life has to have more, expressed so well with sassafras :)



This was a lift from the scrapbook inspos quarterly mag. Well, kinda. The stitching was anyhoo...



Another, studio calico one... Documenting a very funny tale from years ago ;)



And lastly this baby... Using more cosmo coordinations :) blingz paint, moo cards, prima pebbles and a heap of gorgeous little bits!

Happy Saturday!

Things I'm loving right now

I'm loving so many things right now....





Sassafras! I love the bright colours :) Studio calico stamps... I love them all. I have to have one of each one. Thickers in yellow. Yum. Pins. And old photos... (bad haircut though!)







These scissors. They are better than any other pair i've owned and that says so much as I'm a scissor person...






I'm loving my 7 gypsies carousel. I store all my packeted embellies on there. It's looking very full atm!

And lastly: this...






This is a beautiful piece of art my little girl made me. She is mad on tinkerbell right now. Can't you tell???

From the iPhone of...

So. I'm blogging from my iPhone. Serious techno stuff :)


It means I can add pics easier than ever before, I think I'll blog more now. Maybe.
I've been making... I'm in the process of this:


Which is the fabbo studio calico paper range ~ home front...

I'm applying for jobs like they're going out of fashion too :) I'm hoping someone loves me enough to give me an interview... Fingers crossed!

Its all sunny :)

As you can see i'm still loving hipstamatic! :) I am also loving here, for some great artistic inspo. It has a collection of some of the best LOs on the web. It is by far my fave gallery for when i'm feeling like my mojo has upped and left. It makes me love making again... :D

Blurry happiness :D


It's all sunny here. I am loving the sunshine, the fact that the back door is open for the kiddos and dog to run in and out as they please. Even though Em isn't doing much running right now, she has chicken pox. Yes. She is awfully spotty. Luckily she isn't scratching too much.
I've been busy working and trying to fit in everything and everyone. You know how it goes when you have kiddos. Just busy. Joan is still pretty poorly, I'm turning 30 this week, Em's off school, the dog is just being doggy, Kev is back to work... life is just happening!!
We are all though, enjoying the extremely sunny weather :) I hope you are too.

I so *need* this whole bunch of stuff ;)

Don'tcha agree that those crocs are the cutest little darn things?? I need them all!! Who will be stocking them in the UK??? I'm nearly hyperventillating at the thought of chopping them up and adding them into my album. Excited? Much...? YEAH!!! :)

I still am here...


Firstly, i'll show you this. It's on my phone atm and is created with my favourite-est app. Hipstamatic. I think i've brought all of the lenses, films, flashes etc to go with it. I love that old, polaroidy type piccie it creates. Truly beautiful.
Secondly, i'm still here. I'm just incredibly busy. I am stopping the shop though :( Joan is so poorly and really the final straw was on mothers day Kev could not go and visit her as he had to have the kiddos and they had colds. She really can't get anything atm as it'll affect her chemo and that will be bad news :( Also now that Ems at school we actually hardly get any quality time together... its making me sad and our how family just not work together and I have to think about them first and foremost.
Thirdly, I have just about recovered from Ally Pally. Yes, it was incredibly busy on the Saturday and incredibly hot on the Sunday! I didn't buy alot really, a few stamps (which I promised myself I wouldn't but they were the cheap snag 'ems so I felt able too!), a donna downey prima apron and some melody ross overlays! *YUM* and all thanks to June for spotting thoses babies! Although Ally is hard work, its extra rewarding with the thank you's, the nattering and just hearing the excitement the majority of peeps there share for paper ;) Also the fact you get to see the coolest jewellery, the funkiest bags and the best shoes. Paual Pascal had the cutest dog and cat pumps going :) I loved them!
So its my last Sunday at the shop this week, I am finishing around lunch time. I'm sure there will be a few tears. I hope my class goes well as its my last.... :S
On the L/C front, its all go as always. I was out til gone midnight last night finishing up some mistake that had been made. Thankfully not getting shouted at. I got my first ever apology phone call this morn too. I have just about recovered ;) And as bad as it does get there. Its still all good. I still really enjoy being there. Dealing with it, sorting it out, problem solving. Ok, I don't enjoy being shouted at but I do like to feel that I am helping. That I am trying to make a difference.
Fourthly (as I went off on a tangent slightly...) I enjoyed the GoGo Getaway SOOOOO much. I cannot tell you how bloomin' exciting it was. How great the classes were and how much I just loved it all. It was fab. I particularly loved this girl here. Her two classes were super cool. She is the most inspirational person for me at the mo. And to top it off she sounds like shes Stacey (from Gavin and Stacey) which is ubber cute.
Fifthly... have I made anything?? Lots. Honest. Just no pictures. I have two brand new kits waiting for me. A huge stack of new papers from work and I have zero mojo right now. But I did have. I have made heaps. I just filled a whole new american crafts album. So maybe I oughta take a snap and share???
TTFN for now though...
