Today we shopped. Kindly my points from my credit card gave me some Farmer’s vouchers, so today we packed up the 3 kids, 6 tamagotchis, 1 little pet shop toy, a few random books, a variety of vegemite and cheese sandwiches and off we went.
Abby needed clothes. Not the ones I chose. Not the ones on sale. I should have learnt by now to suggest the ones I hate, whilst standing next to the ones I love so that when she screams “NO! I want THIS ONE!” and grabs the one closest, which happens to be the one I love, it all falls into plan. But then perhaps that would be bad parenting. Not sure.
So we lasted an hour looking at various stuff before one of us spit the dummy and decided we had to leave. That would be Paul. I don’t blame the poor man, the kids were tired from a must-stay-at-the-neighbours-til-late-because-it-is-his-birthday-and-that-means-lots-of-red-wine-and-solving-the-world’s-problems-with-random-slurred-talk-about-nothing night. I did not drink red wine.
At least Abby slept in an hour longer.
Anyway, I did come home and do some work – enough to have been able to share some fabulous images….

Which all lumped together in one big pizza box with more embellishments that I didn’t photograph and a heap of cardstock, equates to this.
BasicGrey Four you.
Now this is Pre-Order, the BasicGrey has not even hit the shores of Australia yet, but I have pretty much already designed the layouts that the collection is designed around. So when those papers hit Aussie, it’ll be a super quick turnaround and they’ll be sent out to you, with instructions and colour images for the four layouts. phew.
About 64 sleeps until I fly to Canada. Anyone from Canada that reads this needs to assure me that it will be tropical. Warm. Toasty. And if it won’t be, you need to lie to me.
I haven’t mentioned the Queen & Co blog lately. I was on a little go-slow with updating it after CHA – I was finding it hard to get enthusiastic about posting layout images of layouts that are missing :o(
I just wanted to add a quick update – the layouts have never turned up. BUT I’ve been arranging the ladies on the Q&Co DT to start compiling some tips and techniques, so be sure to check back at the Queen blog when you can.
Lastly – have you heard of ScrapPink? A world-wide weekend of cropping to raise funds for breast cancer research. There are events being held all around NZ in conjunction with the rest of the world. I’ll be helping organise one for my locals, so if you are local, watch for details soon :o)
LAters.
