Woohoo - Happy Mail

Today my package arrived -

And I was so excited to find a mouse mat in the top. So now I can finally upgrade from the magazine I've been using! Awesome

And I can't wait to play with these goodies. It's going to be so much fun.

And in other news, I've started another quilt. I did have a plan but now I've changed my mind. So I'm not really sure where this one is heading. I'm still waiting on some more fabric to arrive for it. Hope it gets here this week so I can finish this by the weekend.

What is exciting you this week?

The happiest kind of mail

I received one of my fabric orders today from Hawthorne Threads. So yummy.

I got these fabrics for the backing of my own quilt.

And I got these for the backing and binding of my Soul Blossoms quilt that I am making for my mum.

And I got these for another quilt that I am planning using the Amy Butler Love Collection.
I really need to finish one thing before I start another. So I think I'll possibly finish off mums before I attempt my own.
In other news - Mouse, Paper, Scissors is back with a new class MPS GIVE. I can't wait. I have loved all the previous MPS classes. And just in time for Christmas. Really really can't wait.

Hope you are having a Happy Tuesday -

Mothers day stuff

Along with the book I made last week, I 'm giving her a mirror and a stationery set.

But I couldn't get any transparencies in time so my poor butterfly looks a bit sad.

 Here's the stationery inside.

I hope my beautiful mum likes it all.
Off to wrap it -

Getting caught up

 Over the weekend while my baby girl has been gone - I got caught up on Mouse, Paper, Scissers Mom class. I love how this album turned out. So pretty

 And those Bo Bunny papers are just gorgeous!

 And made a few cards - and now my ink has run out. Oops.

And we've got unexpected visitors coming today so the silhouette came to the rescue. I used a bunny place card as a bag topper.

Now I need to get cleaned up before my girl gets home. I can't wait!! Missed her like crazy!!

A couple of things

First up - here's my layout for Kelly's Sketchbook 3 - Day 2. I love that navy SC paper. I have got a real thing for navy at the moment. I used Back 40.

Next - I signed up for this class. I completely loved Mouse, Paper, Scissors - so I know this will be fabulous too. Can't wait for it to start.

Loving my new table set up. It's really working for me. I just have to sort out the rest of the room. Eeek!!
Anyone want to help - I'll pay with choc chip cookies and coffee?

KP Sketchbook 3 & a catch up

Happy Monday. So thankful that KP's Sketchbook class started today. I've done mine already. Might do another tomorrow. I'm feeling inspired.

And finally, my first assignment for mouse, paper, scissors - was the last one I did. I believe it was because I was waiting on my scoring board to arrive so I moved onto the next thing. It's a wrapped notebook. It's so cute that I don't want to use it.

I'm thinking that my desk organisation is actually working for me this time. A layout in 10 minutes and packing up in 2 minutes. Can't complain about that!

Have a happy day,

Finally Friday

Oh how I love that it's almost the weekend.
It was a rainy day today so I spent some time finishing off my mirror for Mouse, Paper, Scissors. I made so many mistakes but I love it nonetheless.
I think I'm going to spend some time going through all my stuff and organising & purging. Time to downsize a little I think.
What are your plans this weekend?
Whatever you do - I hope it's fabulous!

Surprise

I played Mouse, Paper, Scissors catch up over the weekend....AGAIN!!
I'm slowly getting there. I've kinda decided that I really don't like my new printer as much as I liked my old one. I've got a really big issue with the colours that it prints. I can't figure out how to fix it. Grrr. It's driving me crazy.
In other news - I signed up to Kelly's Sketchbook 3 class. Can't wait!
And I also bought some of Kerri's storyboard templates. As soon as I get my printer issues sorted - I can't wait to give them a go.

Weigh in Wednesday & a layout

Playing catch up again with Mouse Paper Scissors. Why do I never keep on track with classes? Almost caught up now after a little mini disaster with the sticker paper today. Eek!
Today is my weigh in day - and I was super excited to be in the 60's. Only just. Got about 20 more kilos to lose. But I'm making good progress. Slow and steady wins the race, right?

Well - that's it - off to school pick up,

Happy Happy Friday

I'm still playing along with Mouse, Paper, Scissors - and completely loving it. Heidi & Jessica are such fabulous teachers and so creative!

And I'm so thankful it's Friday. Looking forward to a much needed sleep in.

Have a Fabulous Weekend,

Playing with paper

Playing with paper today. Sorta getting the hang of the digi thing.
Started & finished this album. My scoring board arrived at exactly the right moment! Thanks Blue Bazaar.
Now I need to quickly tidy up before the school run.

Have a super Happy Thursday

Round Here

Playing catch up with Mouse, Paper, Scissors.  After 2 mistakes, I think I've finally figured out my printer.
Trying to drink much more water.
Weighing in day today - down another 800grams. Total loss so far - 6.3kgs. Happy with that but I know I could do better.
Waiting on a Martha Stewart scoring board. Hopefully it will get here tomorrow.
Feeling grateful for leftovers - had thai pumpkin soup for lunch. And have got lasagna for dinner.
Looking forward to the weekend already!
