Waitangi Day.

Waitangi day – the last public holiday before the summer festivities die down and the kids go back to school. Which, by the way, I’m not looking forward to. Has anyone else noticed the “I’m so proud to be a New Zealander, Happy Waitangi Day” adverts on T.V? It’s true that I’m proud to be a New Zealander. And it’s true I watch the proceedings of Waitangi day with interest, but I have never heard anyone say “Happy Waitangi Day”. It seemed really unusual for it to start appearing on TV advertisements. On that note though, Happy Waitangi day to you.

Ok the tidy trays from Embellish It. I have a double set (large and small) to give away as well as a small tray. The winners are: Large set , Christine Cleary. Small tray: Lisa. Ladies, get in touch with me and I’ll get these sent out! Congrats ladies! I might even sneak in some Queen & Co extras for you :o)

I’ll keep comments open on this one for a while longer.

I have been catching up with Trina’s blog and saw she mentioned lots of activity and giveaways at the Fiskars blog.

Thanks SO much for the ladies that offered me their copy of the Scrapbooking Memories magazine. I have 2 copies now – both going to my proud SIL. Thanks so much!

Thanks also to those that mentioned my Aussie Scrap Source class kits – I get the occasional email and comment asking where mine have been lately. I took a small hiatus through October/November last year due to teaching commitments, and it meant through January/February, I didn’t have class kits up. I do have one coming up for March. (It should go up on AussieScrapSource around the 10th of Feb for preorder – it’s one of my favs actually) I will also continue to do probably two out of every three months kind of thing. I didn’t realise they would be missed! Your comments were encouraging to say the least :o)

Ok I’m working on layouts for Scenic Route and here is the first. This is Grafton. The papers are saturated with colour. Really suitable for summer and beach layouts but as you see here they are suitable for anything really. I’ve used the water paper here just because I like the colour.

I love this time of year. Talking of which, I saw Baker’s Delight had Hot Cross buns out yesterday. You know, when I was buying vegies at fruitworld next door ;o) No soooner does school go back but they are trying to force Autumn upon us. What is up with that!?

Laters.

    I noticed the Hot Cross Buns at my local Brumby’s last week too – the end of January. I guess with easter earlier this year it’s about right but boy oh boy….they don’t much around do they!

    We say Happy Australia Day too and it seems to me too a funny thing to say. I mean, yeah let’s have a happy day (and a day off no less) but it is an odd expression! Since Jan 26 is also my birthday, I’d rather hear them say Happy Birthday!! LOL I guess at least they put on fireworks especially for me each year!!

    Hi Nic
    Loving reading your blog. I met you via Kelly Rotherham at CC in Sydney and have been lurking since.
    Have also linked to Shauna’s blog – what an inspirational lady – she has made me laugh and CRY and appreciate so much more what I have – my health, my family, my kids.
    Just thought I would say ‘hello’ and to comment on how lucky you are to last so long without Easter buns – we have had them in the shops here in Melbourne, along with Easter eggs, since mid January!! lol
    Happy Waitangi Day
