Out of action

Bugger, just when I have lots to post about!

My laptop has died a slow painful death over the past week. It started off overheating and shutting itself down and now it won't start up at all. Drew has logged a call with IBM to get them to fix it but I don't know how long it will be in hospital for. I miss it already!

Normally I would just blog from the PC in the study but I have my sister-in-law and niece and nephew staying this week and the study doubles as our spare room. I'll be back on the weekend to update jam sandwiches with some scrapping stuff and a wrap-up of Max's birthday.

Reading it

Loving it

Can't put it down

Does that make me weird?

Don't answer that.

In just one week...

This boy will be FIVE.

And he is pretty damned excited!

A few pics...

I actually haven't taken photos of many of the things I did in the lead up to Paperific. I did photograph the layouts and the birdhouse though so at least there is something to share. The birdhouse is done with the new Sassafras Lass Woodland Whimsy range which is just divine! I'll take the camera to work on saturday and photograph the rest of the stuff.

It's over....

Well Paperific 2008 is over and thank goodness for that! My feet are SO sore after standing on a concrete floor for 3 days. Friday and saturday were so unbelievably busy, there were several times during the day that we had 5-10 people queuing to pay. It was crazy but nice to know that people liked our stuff. Today was quieter whichmade things much harder because once we slowed down, it was harder to find the momentum to keep going.

I'm tired, my house is a mess and I actually have no desire to scrap at all. Thankfully all that work we did before the show paid off and the shop is now full of new products and displays and all of the classes for the rest of the year are planned and I only have 2 things to make. YAY! I'll be back tomorrow to add some pictures of our stand at Paperific and the layouts and projects we did over the past 2 weeks.

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend xxx

Paperific!

It's on this weekend at the Melbourne Showgrounds.

We spent the afternoon setting up our stand and I have to say it looks FABULOUS!

I'll take some photos of it in the morning.



Michelle, Felicity and I had a wander around this afternoon after we'd finished our stand and checked out some of the other exhibitors. Oh My Lord! There is some gorgeous stuff. We' were drooling over ribbon and patterned paper and the new Prima flowers... Divine!

We have loads of new stock to tempt you so pop in and say hello.

Poor Drew, he has the flu. I mean that sympathetically of course, not sarcastically ;) He really he is sick poor thing and to top it off he has a dose of conjunctivitis that he thinks he might have gotten after the cat sat on his head the other day. You know 'fur in his eyes' kind of thing. Luckily Drew has a sense of humour so when I take the mickey out of him by patting his head and saying "poor little bunny" he replies 'Lara...Laaaaraaaaa'. If you have no idea what I'm talking about then watch this little gem. I've added another clip just for friday laughs. Enjoy!
