Nearly a whole month...

without blogging. Oops. Everytime I went to to do it, I'd get distracted by other stuff.
Anyway.....

I haven't scrapped much. Just made a couple of cards as a gift for my nan.Using my most favourite butterfly stamp from Studio Calico.

I've also been busy in the kitchen with my thermomix.
I have made some yummy stuff.
One night I made roasted vegetable soup & portugese rolls. I didn't even start cooking until after I got home from school. It was so quick.

And on the weekend I made pizza from scratch, even my own sauce - which was pretty delicious.
Tonights dinner was lasagne. The bechamel sauce only took 12 minutes and was as smooth as silk and I didn't even have to stir it. It was fantastic.
I love my thermomix.

I'm still getting over being sick. Back to the docs on Monday. Hopefully it'll be all good. Had a CT scan last week - so I'm waiting on those results.

And that's it for me.

Have a happy week.

2011 planner

The other day I signed up to this class and decided that since I had some time today - I'd start printing out everything and put it together.

I still need to embellish the cover...

And get some bigger binding rings (Mine were just a smidge too small)

I used pumice stone  & tumbled glass inks on HO3 papers.

I love how it came out. So cute! Can't wait to use it.

Shopping...but not the scrappy kind

Last week was a shopping kind of week.
On Monday, our new iphone4's arrived

Then on Thursday I ordered a Thermomix (hopefully it will get here this week)

And hubs got an iPad

And my dryer finally died. So on Friday we replaced that - with this

And next on the list is the Christmas shopping......
It's coming up way too fast!!

Some goodies

I got another delivery today.
Some white cards to start on my Christmas cards. And some SC stamps & Hero Arts stamps. And the glimmer mist I got was Granite.

Then I got some House of 3 goodies -

I really want to get organised and get all my cards done before December. I'm also thinking about making gifts.



Anyway - have a happy weekend,

ETA:
I put the outside of the album together this afternoon. Used granite on the top half and turquoise on the bottom.

Happy Scrappyness

WOW!! So early this month. My gorgeous Studio Calico kits arrived today.
They are beautiful!!
Won't be playing just yet - we've all got the flu. Not so fun.

Back to bed for me :o(

No more hoarding

I have been savoring the Dear Lizzy papers since I first got them. Why? Because I felt they were too pretty to use. And I wanted to save them for something special.
Well not anymore. I broke into them all and used them to decorate my 7 gypsies vintage receipt holder. (Which had also just been sitting in my room. Unused.)
It feels pretty good to make my squishy little scrap room so cute.

I didn't get my Back 40 kit yesterday - so I'm holding on to hope that it will get here today.
Cross your fingers for me!

I couldn't wait

So I cracked into the kit last night while I stayed up for the Studio Calico kit release. I couldn't help myself. Had a bit of an injury with the cropodile and my hand. But it's all good.

Managed to order everything I wanted from SC this month. Still waiting on Back 40 to arrive. Hope it gets here this week.

Have a happy Tuesday,

A little Happy Mail

Look what arrived at my house today -

And this was inside

Hopefully I'll get to play with it on Wednesday. Can't wait!!

Yay for Happy Mail -

Silhouette & Glimmer

So on Friday I downloaded the new Silhouette Studio Software for Mac. Totally Awesome. Well, totally awesome except for the nightmare of trying to restore over 8000 images and then my silhouette not even working. BUT- it's almost all sorted out now, and it is AWESOME.

I love that I can use it on my mac (Instead of Bootcamp). I love that it is much more user friendly. And pretty. And well - just totally awesome!

So tonight I'm just spritzing some shapes with glimmer mist. Getting inky & having fun.
I might even reorganise my scrap room. It needs a bit of a clean.

I better hurry up - I've only got an hour before Offspring starts.

Have a Happy Week,

Hello Slacker!

WOW - not 1 update in the whole of September.
Well, I guess it's because I have not been scrapping at all. It makes it hard when you have no ink to print out pics. And I haven't really taken any pics either. Bad me.
I'm still waiting on my SC kits and my CE kits.
I did manage to squeeze out some really simple christmas cards today.

In other news - my sister became a Grandma last week. I've yet to meet the beautiful boy. But I can't wait!!

Well, I guess that's it.
Really hoping I get some Happy Mail this week. It might kickstart me into making something,

Have a great week,
