Monday

COMMENTS CLOSED – WINNER IS JULIE (Perth- Life Happenings blog) Email me with your address, Julie!

It’s a holiday Monday here in Auckland and I’m soaking up the peace and quiet. We’ve been to the beach and back, stayed the night and everyone is relaxing after a busy beach day yesterday.
BUT I was lost without my desk. More specifically, I was lost without my computer that sits on my desk. But even more-so, after a week of scrapping 16 hours a day I missed my scraproom. I sat on the beach yesterday in the glorious sun with the cicadas rattling out their summer symphony and the waves crashing on the beach and thought of layouts. I swear if I could digitally create layouts in my mind, I created at least a dozen yesterday. I saw a t-shirt walk past – no doubt there was someone in it but I didn’t notice that part, I was too busy trying to memorise the design – but I was lost without my notebook to draw the design on the front of the shirt. It seems I am addicted.

On the way to the beach we travelled out the Bombay Road, and just as you get to Pukekohe East you look left into a huge crater – except it just looks like a farm really, but it’s a massive valley. Abby yells and I wish I could show the excitement in her voice on my blog “Oh my GOSH! LOOK! I can see the WHOLE WORLD!!”
She then grabbed Braden’s arm and said “Look! Look! and it has a racetrack in the bottom! – Braden! have you ever been on that horse track in my whole world down there?”

And as if my heart wasn’t melting with oh-my-God-that-is-SO-cute already, Braden’s answer…
“Yes Abby I have! And last time I was there, I won!!”

Oh man. So cute. It was for her. He had no interest in the horse track at the bottom of the random gully really, he just did it for her.

Anyway. I’m loving scrapping again. All is well.

SO another side effect of the CHA work I do is that all of a sudden I get new product. Lots of it, sucks to be me, I know. BUT it makes me want to clean out. Gather things, Give them away.
So I figured I’d give it to you guys. I did a few giveaways before Christmas, so I’m going to carry on.

Photobucket

So the first giveaway is some Queen & Co felt. No packaging, because being on the DT doesn’t mean we get luxuries like packaging but the felt is what counts. I’ll give this felt away to someone I randomly pick from the comments on this post. So leave me a comment and I might draw your name.
And remember, spread the word, I have more to giveaway this week so keep checking back and spread the word I’m feeling generous.
I’ll give it a few days.

Ok other stuff – Scenic Route it releasing alsorts of cool new products at CHA – new types of products for them including buttons and stamps. Exciting – for images of the new stuff and some sneak peeks of one of the new lines, Providence, go see Layle’s blog. She is promising big giveaways too.

Ahhh the season of giving really does not stop at Christmas. Leave a comment.
