Spring is here. We have sunlight. We have new life in plants, we have spring winds and we have an overwhelming urge to sit in the sun drinking, more often. (Anyone else?!) Spring makes me feel optimistic, it makes me feel more social, it makes me overlook some of the things that annoyed me in winter. How can one feel dreary when this is just two doors down…
This is the Awanui cherry tree that flowered a full two weeks early this year. It's losing it's blossoms now. In those Spring winds. The Westerly that is currently flying thousands of pink blossoms horiztonally past my window at an alarming rate, and then plastering them all over the other neighbours car. I might not feel so optimistic if it was my car.
I'm saving that photo to use on a special layout. You know the one. Where I use that special paper. that I didn't use last time because I like it so much. Honestly, sometimes I question myself.
I chatted to Megan from Sketchbook during the week and she has some places opened up in her retreat. 6-8 November. See more info here. I've been to one of Megan's retreats and they are fabulous.
Autumn Escape classes due to go up next week sometime, keep an eye out for those, as well as an email from Lucy packed with details of what Rachel Tucker, Kelly Goree and I will have to offer. I'm slowly securing sponsors for our event, with Pink Paislee joining in the fun this week, plus a few other different kinds of sponsors that we'll keep a surprise.
Thanks for your comments and congrats with the Big Picture Scrapbooking workshop I have coming up next year. It's going to be chocka FULL of technique. It's going to have 12 weeks of how-to and this-is-how. Step by step instructions, tips and techniques with some manufacturer support ang giveaways thrown in.
The main question as I start to work on content is this though… what exactly do you want to learn? What techniques? What *kind* of stuff is it that you see that you wish you knew how to do? I have a list about 3 miles long of possibilities, I have so much to say and show you, if you could help me narrow it down, that'd be appreciated! Leave me a comment and I'll put together a giveaway to send to one comment, drawn next Monday NZ time.
Free stuff is always fun, right?
Apparently spring makes me feel more generous, too.
Leaving you with a layout from the last Tarisota kit.
Fun at the Autumn Escape with some amazing ladies. how 'bout that.
