It’s a huge week.  For mother’s day I got a value pack of dairy milk chocolate.  That’s worthy of a post by itself.  Except the more people I tell, the more likely it is that I might have to share.  So just forget that I said that

My first Project NOW class went up at Big Picture Scrapbooking this week.  For those of you that couldn’t make it to Crafting Connection in November last year, this is the Conversations class.  It’s instant download and you use materials from home (unless you want to use exactly what I used).   I’m excited!  And nervous and worried noone is going to understand what the heck I’m saying on the audio. But it’s all good.  (It’s "All G, Mum! my son would say… it took me a while to understand that one.. All WHAT ?  "All G, Mum – like All good – get it?" Seriously when did the generation gap sneak up and smack me upside the head?  )

So this is the link to the Conversations class and you can see my Big Picture bio here – the things those ladies ask!  All in the name of good fun :o)  i’ll have two more classes in the very near future.  I’ll let you know when they go online :o)

Did you see that BasicGrey have just released a new range of paper?  Euphoria.  Ice Blue and raspberry.  Let me think for a minute if I’m going to like it… um YES.  Especially those alphas.  Kelly Goree has some pages created with it on 2peas. Grow – my favourite.  and this one with Molly’s little girl .  While I was at kelly’s gallery I noticed she did a darn fine job of using the Scenic Route Loveland here too.   note to self to visit Kelly’s gallery more often.

The camera – yep, I got it – for way less than that special price too.  I love it when circumstances work out like that.  I’m a happy girl.  I have a camera that works now.  The last one was seriously messing with my head.  So glad I can go about day to day work now without having to curse. Everyone thinks it’s so much nicer.

Evana is moving to Perth!  What is up with that! Good news is that it’ll be easier and cheaper for me to meet her in Sydney every now and again than it was to get to her in the South Island.  Woohoo! lol

Alright – kids album.  I whipped up a very quick (yes, very very quick) page before starting this post – I love this one …. asking Abby what she would be if she were an animal.  A flamingo!  And she posed with one leg held up. Hehehe.  Love it! I used BG 2 scoops and I found some Cloud 9 raindrops.  I haave had these for a while and decided they are actually pretty cool, so I thought I’d use them.  You can’t see them very well.

Look for me to post another page tomorrow, and I’ll re-post all my older pages and give a run-down of the pages and where we are up to – sound like a plan?  You should all be able to get right on track then.

    I loved the idea of your kids’ album the first time I read about it here (that’s when I bookmarked your blog 🙂 … never did a thing about it though… maybe with the recap tomorrow, I might be able to get started! Love your work!

    It looks so cute! I haven’t had the time to work more on the girls albums but I plan to very very soon. I still have a couple of pictures to take for it though. Work and other deadlines have creeped up on me and I absolutely need to finish those before going back to some “fun” scrapping. ;D
