Okay so there is a new

Link in the post below but since this is my first time with 4shared I need to work out how to link it through, so you might just need to cut and paste into your browser this time. Okay?

Downloads expired but ...

Okay so I am skivving off here for 5 minutes, we are in the middle of redecorating our kitchen and have been hard at it all day!

But I just popped in to see how things were going and found that the link has expired! Wow in just over a day too! I have just set up an account at 4shared and as soon as I can get my own computer plugged back into the go juice I will upload it there and link it here.

In the mean time go down to the post with all the comments on and leave yours too, don't forget the drawing occurs Monday morning but the deadline is MIDNIGHT Sunday and don't forget thats New Zealand time too not US time!

Back soon with a new linkie for you.

How do I find more hours in the day?

Why is it that the list of things you need to do and achieve in a day is always longer than the available time to do them in?!?!

I have some more designs buzzing round in my head, and right at the moment the list of things I have to do today just seems to be getting longer and I am not at all sure if I can find the time to get them out of my head and into something that I can share here!

So what am I doing here? Procrastinating thats what! Procrastinating is how I find time to work through things in my head, so while I am typing this I am actually thinking about the wording to a proposal I have to write to submit to the local A&P society in the hopes of getting scrapbooked canvas art included in this years show.

And the really scarey thing is it works too! Talking on the phone is another good one! My Mum quite often gets, huh what? sorry say again? And anyone who has ever called me and talked to me for more than five minutes can testify to this also! Those long pauses kinda give it away, specially when I realise the person on the other end has obviously asked me a question and they are waiting for an answer!


Now I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has commented so far on my previous post. You don't know how much your kind words mean to me.

Oh and I have to tell you a funny story, well kinda funny anyway.
A while back I googled my name with NO success, not one hit! Kinda depressing to tell truth well time has flown by since then and I just out of sheer boredom the other day did it again!

WOW is all I can say!!!!

I can't believe how many talented people are out there using my templates! Now I am not a member of several of the boards I viewed pages at, and as a result can't leave praise, but I have to say WOW thank you, you all have created works of heart out of my simple little templates.

So even though I may not comment on your pages on all the boards, I do look at them, and am continually amazed at the sheer number of so very talented people in this world!

Totally random drawing

to win all of my templates,

including #8 which only a few people actually have at the moment since I haven't released it for general consumption yet, it was inspired by my dear friend Tammy M.

and my teamplates with the fabulously talented Dawn Moore.

What do you have to do to get them all?

Really really simple, leave me a comment here. Thats all there is too it! You have till midnight this Sunday (NZ time) I will do the drawing Monday.


But in the mean time here is a little something to keep you going. Another teamplate for you to enjoy. Please make sure you read the terms of use though, and make sure if you use this to credit both myself and Dawn correctly.

I've been inspired

lately. Have got a lot of scrapping done, mostly all digital! And I have had some absolutely wonderful comments made! For which I thank each and every one who has left me a comment.
Its surprising how much of a difference it can make if someone says something nice or not about your creations.

You have probably heard me waffle on about the fact that I was asked by Rachael Giallongo to be her guest CT member for next month, well naturally I was thrilled by the opportunity to showcase her amazing sketches and to get to work with such a lovely lady for a month as well.

And of course the amazingly talented Lisa Whitney has to be thanked also, she creates the most amazing papers and elements to use. And to top it off she is such a nice person too!

Okay so Daddy hoisting you up over his shoulders in a fireman lift was not quite what you were expecting when you asked him for a ride near the end of our walk around part of Glenrock Station, but you were soon squealing with delight, and asking for more!

I love this photo of Chris, even if its not showing his face, its so him! He is so not into having his photo taken, must be pure torture living with me and my camera all but permanently attached to my hand! So front or back, this man rocks my world. Love you darling.
