So long, farewell...

Well,  I have an announcement to make.  At the end of January I will no longer be a NZ SU Demo.  

As you all know I went to Australia for Christmas, and yes the trip was extended coz we couldn't get into Brisbane but, we have decided to go back.  

So on Monday when we went back to work we handed in our notice.  We finish work next friday and fly out on the 1st of Feb.   My partner is an Australian and has already scored himself a job.  All it took was one phone call.  We will be living in Bundaberg, QLD.

We have spend the last week selling off most of our belongs with the last things put on trademe.  All we are taking are clothes the pc and you guessed it, my crafty stuff!!!!  Max the grey cat went missing three weeks before Christmas and has not returned and Asha is getting flown to Whangarei tomorrow to stay with my parents as Brentons mum is allergic and we will be staying with his folks for a bit.

I will be sad to drop as a demo here, but my downline will be in good hands and will also be sending out a newsletter to my customers.

All is not lost though, my blog will continue as I will still be crafting, and as soon as I find myself fulltime work I will sign back up in Australia.

I would like to thank everyone for their positive comments on my blog and the friendships I have gained through the wider SU family :)

It may be awhile until I post again but I promise I will be back!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and floods!

Happy New year everyone!!  No pics to post as I'm currently in Queensland, AU.  Even though we had to fly from Brisbane to Bundaberg and were a day later arriving I'm enjoying it :) 

I'm at an internet cafe and forgot my camera, so next time I will post some pics...  Seeing the flood damage from the sky was pretty amazing and luckily my partners parents house hasn't had very little damage.  The first couple of days were pretty crazy coz there was only one way into the CBD but the waters are coming down now...  My heart goes out to the people down the street who have lost everything....

I have been sunning it at the pool every afternoon and am tanning up nicely already.  Thanks to Brenton yesterday I got my first sunburn, but it's not too bad!

Off to the movies this afternoon coz its raining again!

See ya later!

Stationery Compendium Class

I have been busy with classes this week, a did a Stationery Compendium for a group of ladies and also had my Scrap-booking Class at the Hall down the road...


It's a BAD photo but these are what the ladies made!  They loved the Urban Oasis paper so I ordered an extra pack before it retired...

Have a great week everyone!!!

Scrapbooking on a Saturday... posted on my blog on a Sunday!

Everyone who visits my blog knows I have a thing for Kristina Werner and this page was inspired by one of her layouts...  I have had this page down for awhile but in all my slackness haven't posted it...  I have dark navy curtains and the photo isn't the greatest but its using Not Quite Navy cardstock and Blueberry Crisp DSP...  I even got my heat gun out to out to emboss with Razzle Dazzle on the butterfly diecut.

And yes... the blonde with short hair is me!!!!

Have a great week everyone!

Silent Bob Strikes again... AND a new project class

I can't believe its been almost 2 months since I last blogged!!!  I suppose a hand smack is coming my way!!!  Life just got in the way, I have had Dunkleys,  Hi to all the lovely ladies I met!  I've had a virus, bad crappy immune system, personal family stuff and as of Labour weekend I now have no wisdom teeth...  Does that now mean I'm truely a dumb blonde if I have lost my wisdom????

Some how in all that I have still been doing my classes, all be it I got a bit behind and one or two hand to be put off a week, but my regulars are lovely and didn't mind when I had to postphone one or two!!
