Ah yes.  School holidays.  I forgot how busy one can be doing everything completly out of routine. Have I scrapped this week? No.  Is my house trashed? Yes.  Do I care? No.  I’m just loving having the kids home.  I’m also loving having carpet on my floor.  That was a big old YESSSSSSSSS moment when that arrived. The kids have been playing board games on the floor , yes on the floor, it’s not bare concrete anymore!, since dinner time.  Except Abby, she tells me she can’t because she has ‘headaches’. – she’s got that word wrong because I totally know she means hiccups!


BIG NEWS – I’ve just joined the team of Prima Endorsed Teachers called the ‘Prima-Donnas’.  I’ve been involved behind the scenes with Prima on some other projects so it’s a great feeling to extend it to the teaching.  The Prima-Donnas are a group of teachers – many of which you’ll know … Donna Downey, Adrienne Looman, Celine Navarro, The Iron Orchid design girls… there is heaps more but you get the picture.  But it means I’ll be teaching some great Prima classes around the place .. keep an eye out for somewhere near you .. I’m excited…thrilled… I’ve taken a lot of time of teaching and so I’m refreshed and keen.  One of the first gigs I’ll be teaching at is SENZ in Wellington in October!  I’m teaching 2 classes adapted from Donna Salazar…. both are amazing aand I’m so hoping to see lots of familiar faces there.   Keep an eye on the Kiwiscraps/Crafthouse or the SENZ website for details.


Just a quick post for tonight – I feel like I’ve been chasing my tail a little bit with the chaos of the holidays and the madness of tradesmen in the house and I’m still catching up.  I’ll leave you with a Tarisota layout from the latest kit, Citrus Sorbet.  You’ll notice the handwriting – something really rare on my layouts.  My printer was under dropsheets at the time!


Oh – and a reminder that I’m allowed to show you all my BasicGrey layouts on Saturday.  Looking forward to that!

    Being a prima donna is pretty impressive – but then, most things you do are pretty impressive! Wish is lived down there so I could try to catch one of your classes! I always enjoy your posts and your layouts!
