Yesterday was a great mail

Yesterday was a great mail day. I haven’t had one for a while, and infact I accused the housesitter we had while we were away of stashing the courier parcels away and selling random scrapbooking stuff on the black market. He assures me there were none. Yesterday made up for this. I love those days although usually they are inflicted by a shopping spree about a week prior but we try and forget that minor setback as we open the parcels, right?

I have currently on my scraproom floor, I swear one day I’ll get a bigger office, new Queen & Co products being released at CHA in the 2nd week of February. I’ll be working on booth layouts and posting them here before the show.

I have currently spread all over my dining room table, I swear one day I’ll get a bigger scraproom, other new product from BasicGrey. Am i allowed to say that? I dunno. I’ll hear if not. I’ll be sharing those layouts before the show as well. I figure in about 2 weeks you’ll see a flurry of new layouts from me.

Scenic Route stuff is missing in action. It really was stolen en route from the US. Well what else could possibly have happened. I still wait wistfully at the gate as the white courier van drives past me each morning in the hopes that he will hand me my missing box of Scenic Route. I haven’t seen the new Lynden yet – oh and it’s not a CHA release! If you have seen Lynden and assumed it is one of the CHA releases – noooooooo! There is more to come!! Lots more! Just not to my house, apparently.

I see the Prima design team has been announced. if you were like me and read the DT list on a message board and didn’t visit the Prima site, it’s well worth visiting the site as they posted some of the entries. Amazing inspiration.

I see Prima also started a new website, PrimaHybrid. And I am so computer illiterate that the thought of mixing computer with paper scares the pants off me but for those of you that head that way – you might love this link. I read somewhere that someone referred to Hybrid scrappers as bi-scraptual. I don’t know how PC that is but it cracked me up. laughing is good, right?

I’m going to link ScrapScene again because I’m surprised at how many people don’t know what I’m talking about if I mention it. Seriously. Did ya like that Grey’s Anatomy ‘seriously’ slipped in there – new season starting soon in NZ! Seriously. Go to the site and sign up to have it delivered to your email each day. It’s my own scrapping newspaper right in my inbox – read diligently each day as I sit and each my dry weight watchers cereal and milo. lol.

Big day for me. I need to take Abby to the fractures clinic. I’m crossing fingers things are OK. It was so hard to keep her still during the healing period, I hope it all healed properly.

Ok layout share. Another Tarisota project. This one was a simple layout for me – by simple I mean not so many layers etc. Despite it’s apparent simple design, it still haunted me for a day or two until I finally stuck it down. It’s titled Finally fall because during my visit to Canada in October I finally got to experience Fall. The touch of Autumn we get here in my part of New Zealand is nothing — nothing compared to what we experienced in Vancouver. very cool.

Wish me luck for the fractures clinic.
