It's quiet on Sunday mornings at 5.30am. It's just me and the sound of the sprinkler that has accidently been left on all night. I turn the sprinkler off and muse over the fact that those are best watered tomatoes in Pukekohe. And that my water bill will be through the roof.
Two hours later and I have succeeded in getting through a good amount of work. Yesterday morning I was up at 6am doing the PAYE – it was the 20th, had to be done – but this morning it is Autumn Escape stuff. I've talked to Kelly Goree on the phone this morning. Tidying up details. The note on my desk, scribbled while I talked to her says "AV stuff, NZ stuff, Tequila and make sure I TeacherAid for design stars". It's early on a Sunday morning, let's hope I get all those things right when I meet with Lucy later. It's deadline day for the teachers as we get our product lists in for purchase. Very soon there will be all variety of gorgeous product streaming in to be kitted into amazing class kits for the Autumn Escape. If it wasn't early on a Sunday morning, and if I wasn't awake early because I had one too many last night, you might find me doing an excited little dance about that.
Evolve Beads. Fits Pandora etc. I am in love. All NZ beads. Smitten. I am smitten. I will be hitting an evolve beads stockist soon. Love the concept of different coloured glass beads to represent different parts of New Zealand. Haven't loved a concept as much as this in a long time.
Tarisota. Ahhhh Tarisota. Where for art thou, Tarisota? The answer is that Tarisota has been delayed due to the world of fried computers. If you are waiting for the gallery to go up, your patience is appreciated. Despite several re-builds, something about Tamar's computer is refusing to go right, and the gallery work can't be uploaded. Never fear! It will happen ASAP and Tamar sends her deepest apologies!
iPhone vs Blackberry. That is the question. If I purchase an iPhone and take it to Sth Africa and Aussie, does it cut out the need to take my laptop to check emails? And does it really cost $30 per MB (yes that is what the telecom salesman said yesterday) to use the internet overseas? How do other people do it? Buy SIM cards overseas? Opinions appreciated :) My 6 year old phone needs updating. Opinions appreciated, esp from those that travel overseas and use their iPhone for internet!
Apologies for being so quiet this past week. I'm busy in the office, with classes, Autumn Escape, organising travel but mostly with my Big Picture Scrapbooking workshop content. Good to be busy.
Sharing time .. this layout created for Aussie Scrap Source., inspired by fabric & rag quilting… see the inspiration pic below.
Enjoy your Sunday.
