IN MY HOT LITTLE HANDS

It's raining cats and dogs outside and Craig is sitting on the Hutt riverbank whitebaiting in it. I on the other hand, am sipping a lovely hot coffee in front of his laptop ah bliss... Saturday without the kids! (meant in the nicest possible way of course). Living up on the hill, I can actually see the him in his red jacket ... getting cold and wet .. CRAZY? yes, but guess what we will be having for lunch??

Like many others, I received my rejection email from the UP2SCRAP Design Team comp this week and was a tad disappointed, never mind, onwards and upwards, there will be other opportunities!!

However ... at last I have back in my hot little hand, my 'Confessions of a Virgo Scrapper' layout that appeared in the latest issue of Scrapbook Creations. Seems like an age ago that I last saw it.

Not the best pic of this layout, as doesn't really show it's true colours but it can't be any worse than the pic in Scrapbook Creations - it looks a tad on the Karitane yellow side Lol!

On the positive side though, can this mag get any better - it took me AGES to devour this issue .. from cover to cover, it is a seriously great read and there are some very familiar faces in the last issue too - nice work Trina and Marieke!

Have been doing a lot of Scrapbook promotion this week as I have discovered some closet scrapbookers amongst my new clients. It was hilarious - I went to visit Linda this week, in her place of employment and we spent an hour talking about scrapping before I even got around to taking down the job description - now that is what I call mixing business with pleasure! Actually, Linda has an eighteen yr old son who is a talented artist and like those of us with much younger kids, she has found that her scrapbook materials seem to migrate to his work desk on a regualr basis. Those of you in Wellington, DO NOT! be surprised if you come accross an extremely cute young man in some of Wendy's more alternative classes in coming months - I think he's hooked!
