7.32am and I was an icicle in my bed. Curling up into the tiniest ball possible to stay warm only succeeded in letting the rest of the bed go cold, so when I stretched out again, I froze. I think we have come close to frosting this morning, it shouldn't be surprising with the amount of ice and snow down south. And so at 7.32am I am out of bed with multiple blankies and last year's slippers, note to self to buy some more, these aren't so attractive anymore, my feet nearly curled up and ran the other way when I tried to put them on.
This week has sucked. What can I say. From a fishing trip that went disasterously wrong for Paul, to the Warriors losing, to having to borrow money to pay a tax bill, to someone hitting my car in the Warehouse carpark and driving away without telling me, to sick kids and cats covered in mud. I'll be trying to lift the curse of the bad week at the Howard home later with a little sprinkling of rum. In my diet coke.
Other stuff, I have heard from Stacy Julian this week and my Big Picture Scrapbooking 4 week workshop will be opening for registration in a little while, I'll keep you updated.
I'm still working on the Tarisota Limited Edition BasicGrey collection that is coming out in a week or two, depending on when the paper hits the shores.
Congrats to Raewyn Alridge who was the winner of the Autumn Escape competition at Scrapbook Outlet. Raewyn does an amazing write-up of the whole competiton on her blog there, and I love the eating-cake-at-a-cafe-when-I-heard-I-had-won story. That was a busy, creative, full-on competition, there were over 300 'raffle tickets' allocated. Scrapbook Outlet has been the most fabulous supportive sponsor for us, helping with alsorts of other behind the scenes stuff, we really do owe them, thanks ladies :o)
Did I mention Autumn Escape registration is in the process of closing? On one hand I am thinking 'bring it on' I can't wait to see some of these plans in action, on the other hand I'm thinking CRIKEY, I'm going to spend the next 3 weeks buried in Autumn Escape stuff, before I know it we'll be meeting Kim Archer at the airport. Which is where we went last night to pick up a large, OK HUGE, BasicGrey package. :o)
Hey – Happy Easter everyone, stay safe. Enjoy the last of the Autumn sun, if it darn near froze this morning it'll be a beautiful day today. Perfect for lifting the curse of the bad week with a little drink with friends. I'm leaving you with a layout I did recently with some Jenni Bowlin. Not my fav layout in forever, partly because of the blurry pic and handwritten journaling. Something I just need to get over, really. Love my little girl.
