As 9pm Sunday closes in

As 9pm Sunday closes in and the draw for the book giveaway there are a few thoughts going through my mind.
1. I never dreamt I’d get so many comments and wish I had more copies to give away.
2. I didn’t think I’d ever cruise so many blogs in one evening. Thanks to those of you that pumped the book on your blogs. Lots of extra names in the draw!
and 3. I wish it was still Saturday. lol. That Monday morning alarm comes all too quickly. ;o)

So I have a thousand names in the draw – ok so not quite a thousand. Ok so nowhere near it, but dramatics are allowed in blogland and since everyone else had their share of kiddie-he-took-my-toy and i-was-there-first type dramas today and I had to stay all sensible and adult-like, I just felt like letting it all loose and over exagerating a little there.
I digress.
Anyhow – it’s past 9pm now, well past now actually and hubby chose the name out the hat – which was actually a tupperware freezermates container and the winner is Pearl Maple (Mandy Collins), 1.46pm – so come on up pearl! Email me nic.paul(at) xtra.co.nz and I’ll send you a book!!!!

Loved a random quote I saw on one of the blogs somewhere – “I drink coffee so I can do stupid things faster and with more energy”. lol love that. I perhaps needed such energy to cruise all those blogs. lol.

Soooooooooooooo Sunday has been good – you get some nice days in July! *sarcasm* Today was one of those -I’m-sick-of-winter-I’m-so-glad-we-have-a-day-warm-enough-to-open-all-the-windows-and-air-this-place-out days. Love love loved it.
The kids played outside a lot of the day – I did insist Abby put boots on to go outside – gotta keep those little feet warm. I caught her outside without the boots on and asked where they were… her answer “They missapeared!”. I’ve not heard that one before. *noting it down!*

So it’s been a busy week – I haven’t blogged because I’ve been leaving the other post at the top but I’ve been a busy bee. I have been working on CHA booth layouts and finishing up the July tarisota kit “Life is Beautiful” The gallery went up today.
I tried to declare July “Scary bug month” at Tarisota but it seems I was the only one that obliged with the scary ladybird. lol.

I did a little extra with the ‘inklination’ limited edition this month. I used some cool inks and the bam bop stamps with my collection.
I made up this little wall hanging and I actually used the clear packaging from an acrylic stamp to put it on. hey. It was right there in front of me, ya know? Anyhow. Cute kid. Evana took the pic when Abby was just about 2 or 3 days old. Here are some images. Love the doodle frame stamps – you get 2 with the inklination limited edition this month. They reminded me of Zina Wright. Random useless piece of information there lol.

    I’m just popping in to say how much I am loving your book! I’m about half-way through it (it’s perfect for reading in the sun :D) and I am really enjoying myself reading the journaling. Great job, it really is like no other idea book out there!
