Hi Ladies , I had a Awesome afternoon yesterday ( and evening) I scrapbooked!! I managed to complete SIX yes 6 12 by 12 pages .I was so pleased and thought I had taken nice photo's to post on my blog for you to see but some how the power chuck episode has made it impossible to get the pic from the camera to the computer I guess I will have to ring the insurance company AGAIN!!
Anyway I thought I would remind you of my class tomorrow ( Friday) This class is free it is an introductory class for my Scrapbook classes I am now running. I totally changed my mind on how I am going to run it so if you are keen to learn more give me a call ,as scrapbooking is my passion I am looking forward to sharing what I know with you all.
Also tomorrow is the last day for the October specials .
Hope you are all outside enjoying this lovely sunshine ( my washing machine is going overtime) I wrote this and then thought if your not in Taranaki it doen't mean a thing so where ever you are hope your having a wonderful day!!!

Rough Week!

Good Morning Ladies ,
Sorry I have been Missing in Action for so long .
I have had a rough week First my Poppa Died ( He was 89) and then My Father In Law Had another Heart attack and then I got sick!
However I am feeling so much better now .
Just a quick reminder that tomorrow ( Sunday) is three dollar day there will a few Christmas cards as well as other occasions. 1pm till 9pm open house hours come when it suits you . $3 per card or NEW special 6 for $15 .
I have loads of photos to post however my we poppet power chucked all over my camera on my way to be with my mum the day poppa passed .My Darling dad helped me clean her and the car and the clothes ,but the camera well that was another story. As soon as we can get that sorted I promised to post loads of pics.
I recently demoed at a training for us Stampin' Up! demonstrators and Emma ( the Country Manager) Gave me a very simple but lovely card. That card prove to be an expensive gift ...... I caved and bought the set it was made with .It is the punch in the tin with three spots and a 9 piece stamp set .I love it I can't believe I didn't buy it earlier. If you want to play with it either come to $3 day tomorrow or give me a call .Its so cool I want to show everyone!!!!
