Bloglines.  Did you all know about this already?  I know you all did, it just takes me a while to get these things organised.  I try and maintain that I don't surf many blogs, but I guess I do, and if I don't surf the blogs, I feel regret that I might be missing something.  I have a bloglines browser open all day now whilst working and if I happen to find a new blog I love, I add it right then.  I catch up on updated blogs during breakfast and lunch.  I love it.  Favourite Blogs added recently.  Pink Paislee blog.  Memory Makers Masters blog with the new masters.  and this one Pieces of me – Louise Williams.

Tarisota gallery is out – here is my fav layout this month.  I like doing these 'right now' type layouts.  At the time they seem repetitive but I've looked back on old ones and thought how cool it is to be able to look back and see what i was doing and where I was at.   One of my favs is a mini album I did of Sept 22nd last year and what we did as a family that day, I took snapshot type pics along the way as we went shopping for seedlings for the spring garden etc, it was very cool, I even had a pocket in the back of the album for receipts etc.  I must do another one soon. Anyhoooo… here is the Sept 4th layout, the journaling is below…

Sept-4-08-small

yes apparently I did a fabulously large typo in there, just pretend it's not there.  It can be part of the whole charm of the layout.  "On Sept 4th 2008 I was sick so I wasn't concentrating too well when I typed the journaling and so you'll find a nasty typo".

Sept-4-08-journaling-small 

Anyone want to see the new Christmas papers from BasicGrey released yesterday?  Wassail.  Look here for the full images.    I had to google what Wassail is – it's a Christmassy type drink.  Waddya know. lol

Ok Christchurch!  Final details!!!   If you are sitting in on the Summer Build A Book class, please bring a crop-o-dile or 1/4" punch and a corner rounder - only if you have one! Don't buy one especially, but if you have one, bring it along please! 

Also if you have any favourite swirl stamps and Stazon black, bring that… again, they will be personal touches that you don't have to add but if you have them, bring 'em along! 

Remember the Summer BAB class will need a tape runner type adhesive (I used the Stampin' Up! Snail adhesive – something similar) and both classes could use glue-dots!

(Please spread the word if you know someone coming!)

Lookin forward to it!

    cool layout and a great idea.
    what sort of photos do you suggest we bring for the “double take” class on Saturday. I am just trying to find some now and I really have no idea what to choose, if I get my a into g I will get some black and white ones printed but I am still not sure what type of photos to choose.
    So glad you are feeling better, see you soon!!!

    Hey Nic, I think I have the same affliction as you. I love to be busy busy busy… but I don’t think my level of perfectionism is quite to your standards as my floors have crumbs on them, and the clean dishes in the dishwasher are NEVER emptied before my dh decides to do it! 😉
    Speaking of whom, my dh is a bloglines addict too. 😛
