i'm still havin' fun

wow what a busy time at our place still... the pace never stops - but its sooooo good.

i have been working for real money so my dh says... thats always a good thing...i like to contribute.

the peeps are having fun at their tennis lessons. Old mate has a new guitar teacher and is enjoying the new songs that he is learning.

i have been doing a little more creating - I was asked to do an online webcam class for Karen over at Scrapchat for the month of October... being for Women's Cancers. ... well the class is all organised and ready to roll - so all money raised from the proceeds of this class will go to Womens' Cancer... love the month of pink!

The class costs $15 and is a live webcam classroom where i will be showing how to make the Inspiration cards below... and the best bit is you get to make them with me at your end... if you would like to join in contact Karen on gypsyangel@scrapchat.net.au  to pay your money and you will be forwarded a PDF of what you will need for the night and the quotes that will be used so that you can print them out ready.

At the end of the class a PDF of instructions will be sent to you on the class. Sounds too easy hey - but heaps of fun. ... all in the name of us women ... and the courage we have to be ourselves........here is a peek of the cards that we will be creating this friday night.

enjoy.... and we hope you can join us to help raise much needed funds...

another day @ peeps' place

Its been a little busy here - but as we would not have it any other way -- fantastic!

I have been playing catch up with my scrapping duties - i completed a few layouts for the new October Scraplets over at A2Z... http://www.a2zscraplets.typepad.com/ very noice indeedy.

I have also just completed my project for the Embellish it comp over at Scrap N Craft with T... you can't have a peek yet at what is in store for my part of the comp, but you can catch out all the details of the comp over at Tans blog - http://tanyahpayne.blogspot.com/ - you can also check out all the great entries that have been uploaded for the first week over in tanyahs gallery...-

I got to do my free flowers class for ScrapChat and have had some great feedback - glad to hear the girls all liked the flowers and have even used the ideas in there own works already - they have created some great looking blooms for their artworks. Karen over at ScrapChat has organised another class with myself with all the proceeds going towards the GNI cancer fund - i will be teaching a class on 4 inspiration cards - titled "the courage to be me" - you can find out more by contacting Karen aka gypsyangel over at ScrapChat - http://scrapchat.net/ - the class is scheduled for the end of October.

mmm what else....last weekend i had a housefull of friends stay and we all went to a GNI at Cleveland it was arranged through ScrapChat and we all had a ball.A big call out goes to Karen our hostest with the mostest and Amanda for coming through with a great location to hold a fantastic night for charity and a worthwhile cause. After the night was over Karen, Tanyah and Sarah all bunked over @ my place and then we scrapped a little more ... till it was time to go home... thanks girls i had a blast.

i have picked up more work at school, the peeps are growing and enjoying their new sport - which is a little easier on their parents with travel and their parents' wallets are looking healthier also .... thank goodness as the amount of bills rolling in does not seem to be slowing down... bet that sounds like your home hey?

Craft wise i have a heap of ideas stored in the space between my ears - just got to get them out there and into the big wide world... but you can't rush these things... they need to ferment like a good wine... till next time stay safe and enjoy some of my creations of the past week.

getting ready...

Oh yes we have been getting things ready in this household -

sorry to interuppt my train of thought... but its raining... the glorious sound of rain... loving that!

GETTING READY #1   - now back to getting things ready... on the home front we have taken carpet out of our bedroomand the study and delivered down to our trusty old unit ... it will be installed on monday down there.. i have been left with concrete painted floors for the time being... very user friendly to clean i might add....but a bit harsh on the feet over time.... we have looked at replacements and have found suitable carpet for our room, the childrens rooms and the study... and i am quite happy with our choice... this will have to go on the back burner as we have had some other things crop up.

GETTING READY #2   - i have finally photographed a few sample photos of the flowers i will be teaching how to make in an online classroom situation over at ScrapChat... pretty happy with it all and i need to thank Gypsy for the opportunity to have a crack at this. If everyone is happy with this site and the classroom environment then we will be holding a Inspiration card class to help raise money for Breast Cancer - this will be closer to the end of the month... should be fantastic either way.

GETTING READY #3   - the little peeps go back to school tomorrow.... and we are so not ready... it feels more like xmas holidays here at our home... my beautiful husband has been slaving away and is really in need of a holiday... but the peeps are on their way back to the grindstone and have not had the chance to spend much time with their pappa...mumma is worn out though.

GETTING READY #4 - looking forward i am ready to really get myself motivated to loose some serious weight and get myself trim taut and terrific. I had my birthday in September and decided that i would be Fabulous at 40 - and i have given myself a year to get there... i know i can do it... so i have slowly been starting the whole diet and exercise thing  but tomorrow i am on my way fully - watch our Rexona!

GETTING READY #5 - concious of my above #4 statement i am about to embark on a huge leap and start getting myself into bed before midnight every night. Someone said to me once that this could be part of the reason for me not losing weight... tiredness and lack of sleep. I don't feel tired, but apparently you need sleep to make your body work properly...{ thanks darling husband} ....so i thought  i might try this out for a couple of months and see if it works for me... i have always been a late nighter.. so it will be an interesting concept.

GETTING READY #6 - all going good i will start tidying up some sewing tomorrow... i have some bags cut out that i need to finish and then i can start on a few more patterns that i have purchased. I also have to sort out that coding on the blog so i can start selling things via paypal in the for sale section.

have a fantastic night everyone... oh its morning... whoops i have broken #5 already.... i'll leave you with the pics of the flowers i will be making on my Wednesday night online class - hosted by Scrapchat.
