Brrr....

It's so so cold at the moment.
But I'm happy to sit in my scraproom as I've got a heater under my desk. Very nice.
Went and saw The Hangover part 2 last night. Bradley Cooper is so delish! I thought the first one was funnier but I still loved it.
And this is the layout that I finished off over the weekend.
Not much planned for this week. Got my mothers birthday on Sunday. Really need to plan the menu. Think I'm going to make the mousse cake for dessert though. Just not sure.

What is the most memorable cake that you've ever had?

It was a scrappy night

It seems like the only time that I get to scrap (or have the inclination to) is on Saturday nights. So here's my effort for tonight. I'm in the middle of another double - but it will have to wait until tomorrow until I can get my silhouette out. I put it out of reach - silly I know - but it was the only way I could fit in my sewing machine. I really need to reorganise again. And I seriously need to purge before we move. Hopefully in the next house I'll have a bigger scrap space.
Have a happy weekend,

Excited much?

This morning I went to purchase my very first sewing machine. Isn't she pretty. I've only had her an hour and already I'm in love.
I'm still waiting on my fabric order and I still need to grab some other things before class next month. Can't wait. I am so excited.

Now the fun begins ...

It's a scrappy kind of day

With a big stack of  freshly printed photos beside me, I thought I better get started on getting through them. I pulled out Lawn Party and had a play. I just love that doily paper. Scrumptious!

And today my husband and I celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary. And after 16 years together - he is still a keeper.

Have a fabulous weekend,

It's been a while

I've been sick for the past couple of weeks, so there has been no scrapping to mention. But I did go to a sewing class on the weekend. I loved it. I made this bag. Then next month I'm making a quilt. I am so excited. The hard part is picking the fabrics.

Today I received my Studio Calico box. Awesome!

I'm so glad I got the extra pp. They are all so pretty.

I also grabbed Rope Swing. I really wanted that stamp.

And I got Lawn Party. Love the stamp. Love the BG alpha. Love it all.

And I also needed to stock up on adhesive. That should last me a month or two. That is of course if I start scrapping again.
Have a great week,

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 -
