Scrap day & First Cyber Crop

Last Saturday Cath, Haylee, Amanda & I went to Scrapping with Souls first 10 hour scrap day for this year. Was a great day. Cath & I worked on our plant pots for at least 3 hours and they still are not finished, we will finish the flowers tonight as scrapping. I also did my first Cyber crop and the weekend. I created 2 cards, an altered beanie baby case and a large canvas. I was a finalist with my GreeN Beanie baby case.

Last weekend Cath & I went to a Julie Love OTP TV class and did an online class for an exploding box.

Relaxing days

I have had a lovely 2 days off this week. Started with Haylee & I driving down to Sanctuary Point to go to the scrapbook shop there. Where i spent way toooooo much money.

We then picked my sister Davina up and went to Husky for more shopping and a really lovely lunch. I had seafood rissoto and it was really yummy. The complimentary glass of wine was very nice also. We called into the choccie shop, I came home with some very yummy chocolates.

I then had a haircut and my eybrows waxed. The evening was out usual scrapping night & we played with our new toys. Amanda had new stamps, blending pens and chalks. Cathy had new stamps also. Cathy & I both played with my new Autumn leaves flourish stamps. I made 3 cards but I think Cathy may have made about 10. Haylee was very excited about actually finishing 2 LO's (1 was a double LO) that she started that night.

Today I slept in till 9am (had a shocking night of no sleep). Had the most wonderfully relaxing facial that I have ever had at Ella Bache (birthday pressie from Tony & Cathy), i even bought some products which I have never done after a facial.

My Bible study quilting group started up again tonight, with our coffee & dessert introduction night. Our whole Church is doing the God Centred Life study, including each study group and the sermons.

Bakc to my wonderful job tomorrow but boy have I enjoyed my 2 days off.

ABout time

Yes I know its about time I updated my blogg. No excuses I have just been slack.

So what have I been doing. Getting over Christmas. Work was just so busy I was exhausted, it has really settled down back to normal routine now. I have had several days off work in the last few weeks so I went out of my way to relax.

The first week I went of to Bowral to meet up with Lou & Ros, forum buddies. It was my first time meeting Ros and would you believe our Dh's worked together in 1978 at 2WS, Radion station in Blacktown. What a small world. We had a day of shopping and then we spent the evning pampering each other with facials and pedicures. It was night to sit and chat and be pampered.

The second week I took myself down to my sisters at Vincentia and have a nice relaxing time there as well. I only had to cook their dinner and nothing else, it was bliss. On the 2nd night I gave Davina a pampering night. A facial while her feet were soaking in a foot spa, then a foot and hand massage all followed by dessert.

I have been involved in a 20 stash challnege with my scrapbooking forum. tHat meant I had to complete 20projects without buying anything, all out of my stash. I have only 4 itme to go and I'm finished. Will be doing those today. Will post a piccy of some of my completed projects.

I have also completed the centre of my medallion quilt which will be part of a Round robin with my quilting forum. I am really happy with my appliqued centre.

During this week(Wednesday) I have had my 43rd birhtday and I got spoilt rotten as usual, including gift vouchers for:- Solar SPrings - my Health retreat/Spa at Bundanoon, Jukejema the best quilting shop& Ella Bache for a facial. I also received choccies, kitchen knife set and chopping board and lots of other things.

I also became a great aunt for the 6th time onthe 19 January, Dominic Jaymz. He is just so gorgeous.

Well thats what I have been up to. i will try not to leave it so long next time.

Tata for now.
