Timaru, Creme Eggs, the Zoo and the GST

While I enjoy the balmy 18 degrees, probably creeping up towards 28ish later today, I'm thinking of Timaru.   Today I think of Timaru because I'm going there next month and they were having highs of only about 14 last week.  Don't think I didn't notice.  Imagine now the cringe look on my face as I saw the highs scrolling across the screen.   I don't cope at anything less than 15 degrees.  Timaru.  Please.  Try and hold Autumn back until I have been and gone.  Or at least try.

Creme Egg count.  Four.  Likeliness that I'm even going to tell the truth right there?  Zero. 

Exciting day for me this week?  Wednesday.  Paul gets to stay home and do the office work while I hit the zoo with 100 year 1 and 2s.  If my most carefully, strategically placed piles of crap around this room are moved when I return, there will be trouble.  Then I have a date with Kelvin Cruickshank that night.  It's all go.

Talking of Paul – he had a skin cancer removed last week and is sporting 12 stitches in his nose.  Not just any stitches, these are specialist plastic surgeon type stitches…I don't think it's any excuse to ignore the GST return I might accidently leave on his desk, and while he is hopefully taking the hint, perhaps I'll leave the PAYE return there too.  It's not excuse to ignore those , although he will because he has no clue what to do with them, but it IS an excuse to preach to others about covering up in the sun.  This is paul's second specialist surgery for skin cancers.  Cover up, people!

And still the GST won't get done.

Creme egg count… five… I'm kidding.

Tarisota Studio.  I have a new class up there called Shabby Boy, it's made with the latest Tarisota Kit

Here is the official sneak.

Just adding Cosmo Cricket to the list of sponsors for the Autumn Escape.    Giveaways open til Feb 20th.  Also adding Scrapbooking Innovation Magazine, the exciting new magazine that is due to hit our shelves in March…. visit the website, scroll down a little, take a look at the submission themes. 

So much to say, so little time.  And I'm out of Creme Eggs.

Leaving you with images of a 5th birthday box I made with the latest Tarisota.  It'll soon be filled with pictures of Abby's 5th birthday party in that cute little accordian thing.

    My god woman, don’t you ever have an off day with your scrapping? even the sneak peak has me jaw-dropped… Glad Paul’s surgery is over too, bit of a worry that kind of thing. As for the eggs, I find them a bit sweet – I’m a mini caramel egg kinda gal. AND I can’t believe you get to see Kelvin!! I’ve been dying for tickets to see him for ages… helps he’s a babe of course… LOL
