I remember my parents using the words “I remember when —— was….” with reference to price point on alsorts of things… it did nothing but make me think they were really old. It seems bizarre to hear similar words come out of my mouth these days.
Yesterday it was diesel. I drove into the gas station, the attendant walked over and I asked for her to put $100 in please. I could hardly believe the words were coming out of my mouth. It seemed so bizarre since I remember driving in to a gas station not so long ago and asking for them to put $30 in.
And the sad thing is that I drive a diesel. And $100 didn’t even go near filling it.
It just seemed so bizarre.
I haven’t mentioned the Aussie Scrap Source Blog for a while, but I feel I need to today, there has been some changes recently and although many of you already check the blog daily, there will be more reason to do so soon with piles more inspiration and projects about to go up weekly. I’ve taken on more of a role in creating projects for the blog as well, the first of which can be seen from August onwards.
ALSO we are playing a game “Whose Layout is it anyway….” and I see from today’s post that there are lots of people joining in. It’s fun, check out the post here.
Stampin’ Up! The new Spring mini catalog is due to release on the 1st of August – you didn’t think I was going to let that go by without some posting of small projects and giveaways, huh?! They have sent me some goodies to play with from the catalog, so be sure to check back week of the 1st for prize giveaways!
Ok I want to leave you with something – Shauna tagged me about 6 weeks ago… I never did get around to posting despite the fact that i thought it was pretty cool and I learnt stuff about SHauna that I didn’t know. So here we are… I won’t tag anyone because I was tagged weeks ago, but go ahead :o) Have a laugh!.

OH! Lainie! Email me! :o)))
