As I opened the curtains

As I opened the curtains this morning I noticed how much lighter it is getting. That was a good start to the day. I don’t do cold well and to see the days becoming longer is always a natural high. I was, however, reminded that it is still winter by the barking cough from Jacob as he got out of bed. I told him to go back to bed, he needed to stay home. And actually it was probably out of pure guilt because he really should have stayed home yesterday, and I sent him, and looked so sick when he came home. So anyway, if I was one of those people that did the random things to be thankful for today, increasing sunlight hours and someone to play barbie with Abby would have been top of my list. I’m so bad at playing Barbie. I used to love it when I was little so when exactly did I lose that ability? And actually Jacob plays barbie pretty well. For a bloke ;o)

Ok so scrapping. I’m still finalising product and samples for CC07. At the moment it is the ‘constant Reminders’ class that I’m favouring most. This will change several times before the event, but at the moment it is clearly (like that?? Clearly?? That’s a pun ;o) it is clearly Constant Reminders I’m loving.

I got a second copy of Memory Makers July issue today. Yep, second issue. Someone in memory makers land was feeling incredibly generous. Anyone want it? Say so in comments and if there is more than one person I’ll draw a name over the next day or so and send it over… across… down,… where ever you may be :o)
Memory Makers went through a wee rough patch around nov/Dec this year but it truly is a fav magazine again now. Worth a lookie.

Talking of Memory Makers, the masters comp closes tomorrow. Good Luck to anyone that entered – it’s nearly been 3 years but I still remember the nerves. I actually won it on my 3rd year of trying to actually I remember the 3 years of nerves. lol.

Ok here is the final layout I created for the BasicGrey booth at CHA. This was with the ‘Mellow’ line. Yes it is Abby with the same poncho on again but she’ll have grown out of it by next winter so you’ll all just have to cope because I love the colours. And I have a layout on my desk with it again. lol.
Ok so BasicGrey Mellow. I was so spoilt to be able to use these papers, I think they were my fav.

    another great layout. I won’t be at cco7 again this year, which is a shame as I hate to miss out. Would love a copy of MM as I haven’t had a good magazine of my own for quite some time actually. shame the library doesn’t do MM.
