Edited to add: comments now closed, winner chosen!
End of the week and my kids are the rattiest, nastiest, (muddiest) creatures on this earth. I will add the disclaimer that I love them dearly, but there is just so much going on in our family and at school that they have all well and truly lost the plot. Even Braden told me tonight that "I'm just normally so good, Mum.. I always try my very hardest to be the best boy but I'm sorry I just can't do it anymore."
Ahhh, pure sweetness.. with mud on his knees and a lost school jersey. Bless him.
And so I stay home from a crop tomorrow. Hoping to perhaps crash out on the couch with my blokes and my girl and perhaps eat a little popcorn. And when they have all fallen asleep in front of the care bears movie I'll sneak into the office here and carry on with my work, which piling up at a tremendous rate right now…
Talking of the office – many of you have asked to see it… I'm hesitant to show the room because it's not an exciting show-room of gorgeous scrapbooking product…. I'm not really into that, .. I needed someplace functional, someplace with plenty of storage and most of all, some place for all 5 of us to work.
And we do…
Abby sits beside me ON the desk working away. Depsite the fact I made sure the office has a large bench big enough to fit 3 kiddies and a drawer full of scrapbooking gorgeousness for them to dip into, apparently ON the desk, right beside me, trying to use my stuff and kneeling on my trimmer is much more fun.
(Below is the desk without the gorgeous girl sitting on it and the large work area that the kids can work on. Or not. There are 3 bar stools on the other side of that bench)…
And yes. Every scrapbooker's dream. Lots of cupboards…
(Like my curtain? It's multi-purpose… it was also a table cloth at the last crop I had here…)
Not great pics, but you get the picture.
And yes. Baby has a name… Samantha. Welcome to the world Samantha!
(That's my jacob, just pleased to be out of school and cuddling his cousin)
Scrapbooking – I got all carried away and have forgotten to draw a name for the last post – will do so tomorrow or the next day… for this post though, I want to give away some of the papers I have been using.
I have a WHOLE set of the Stampin' Up! Apple Cider 12 x12 papers to give away. These are the ones out of the new Spring Catalog and they are the ones I used to make the card in the post below.
Leave me a comment on this post and they could be heading your way…. And I'll draw the name for the punch tomorrow… oh and let you know about the Great Howard Train Chase. Which was actually a failed attempt at seeing the steam engine go through Pukekohe. I'll save that one for another day. I've talked too much..on with writing instructions….
