Please keep Stephanie in your prayers

I would like you all to keep Stephanie in your prayers tonight & all this week.

For those of you out there, who do take a peek here now & then, she is a fellow scrapper at SSS. She is to undergo her (hopefully) last chemo treatment on Thursday & will be too sick to join us this Sunday. So lets raise as much $$$ as we can for this great cause the CANCER COUNCIL help so many different people with their fight to find the CURE.

My thoughts are with you Stephanie, your fantastic, caring husband & children.

The Count Down Is ON!

Less than 1 week until the Sew Whats Crafty Expo. Here is their website just in case you maybe interested in taking a peek http://www.sewwhatscrafty.org.au/pages.php?pid=4. I hope to see many of you there on either Friday night or Saturday (after I finish work though, YES! I have to work!)

Also just over a week til the "Cancer Council Fundraiser Biggest Morning Tea/Afternoon" being held by the SSS club (run by Petrina & Cassie) http://www.i-scrap-therefore-i-am.blogspot.com/.

Well I finally made it to the Midnight Scrap last night at The CAC (Creative Artz Cottage) for the uninitiated. I hadn't been since Jan 26. :-(

I must say a Huge CONGRATULATIONS to Danielle & her husband Craig because little GRACE is just beautiful & definitely has more hair than most husbands.

OK, now I've got to go as I haven't quite finished my layouts for the show, they've got to be there by Monday afternoon.

See you all later (well those of you who read this anyway)

Retreat update

OK, OK!!! I know I have been slack with this blog......
I know that the retreat was last week-end & I didn't get there for the whole time but made it for the last 4 hours. I had to work on the Saturday & at the last moment was invited to a Stampin' Up party. So I made the most of the situation none the less.

I was there to witness what a mess 24 women can make when men or kids are not present.

I was welcomed into the hall with open smiles & why was I there earlier. I must say though through mess on the floor & layouts on the walls I could see that a lot of fun was had by all, including the scrapper (who will remain nameless for now) who stayed up from Saturday morning until Sunday evening, endevouring to finish the album she HAD to do!
Well done Sandra - you are one of a kind scrapper.......

Petrina & Cassie I am lead to believe were none the less spectular as always with their layout packs & amazing ideas for the whole week-end.

So now only 3 weeks to go until the Biggest Morning Tea Scrap Day. I hope Petina isn't going to run short of bottles. I endeavour to drop off my goodies to her this week (I promise Petrina).

I have some sad news today........................................
I didn't win the EDM competition held by For Keeps Magazine. I got my album this afternoon :-( Oh well maybe another time.

Until then - Take Care (but be careful doing it)

SSS 2007 begins......

Yesterday was the 1st SSS for 2007. I wasn't feeling the best at all & almost didn't go. But a kick in the pants & off I went.

I sat with Michele & Kerrie joined us a little later with her beautiful daughter Emily in tow. Michele, I found out during the afternoon was the master chef behind our C-Cups on our Pink Friday Girls Nite In.

I finished off several layouts that I had started sometime or other in the last few months.

I am about to brag here. Last weekend I entered Scrapapple's Weekend Workout Competition. The subject was handmade embellishments. I didn't expect to win as there many great Layouts entered.

This is the 2nd time I have won Scrapapple's Weekend Workout Competition, the 1st time was a month prior. I must say a HUGE Thank You Kelly & Dawn for the wonderful scrap packs that I have received. I have already put them to great use.

I entered a monthly competition on KitiQ's website, but was unsuccessful this time but they asked me if they could still put my layouts up on their website despite the competition closing (the day before I emailed my entries in). Next time maybe.

I say a Congratulations to Petrina for her win on Scrappy Kreations' website monthly competition. This I entered also but once again was too late when emailing my entry in. Next time :-)
