My "little" Dude!

Just thought I would share a layout I have done for the Purple Pumpkin October Challenge using the Puppy Button kit and the sketch....I fell in love with this kit as soon as I saw it and just had to do the challenge using a pic of Dude posing for the camera!

I was so creative that I even used the packet the buttons came in as the plastic bow under the puppy button LOL!

Classes!

Hi everyone!

Just a friendly reminder that if you are coming to classes - whether it be Monday evenings from 5:30pm - 7:30pm or the classes at Mimmi's as scheduled - you MUST book in!!!!!!

Speaking of classes - this Friday 21 October at 10:00am I will be teaching a class at Mimmi's - the layout is a little shabby, a little fun and a whole lot cute! Suitable for any type of photo - but specifically - a party, a glamour shot, actually really anything!!!!! The class is $25 and includes your class kit with all papers and embellies! If you would like to come, please book in....there are still spaces available!!!! Either book in here, shoot me an email, or contact Miriam at Mimmi's.... Hope to see you....Photos available on FaceBook (and here) soon!!!!

Whoops!!!!!

I am sorry I have been such a stranger.....There is no excuse for my lack of blogging.....Just pure time loss! Please forgive me.....

I am sitting here with my eyes popping out of my head after a long and very very testing 10 and a half hour day at work.....and thought to myself, I MUST update my blog....after a conversation with Tracey and Crece' from Fancy That Scrapbooking, I realised even more that this is something that I need to do and do often.....I can assure you all, I will try!

Sooooo - what is going on in the world of you crafty, scrappy, lovely people????? Leave a comment and on the weekend I will read them all and do a random draw for a small prize from me!

Saturday is the Handmade Expo at the Ipswich Turf Club Brisbane Road Bundamba! I hope the weather stays fine!!!! Do you think it will be? There is a very special lady attending this month - Gigi from GiSt Creative will be there with some of her gorgeous canvas creations! I can't wait to see them all! I would love another "girl" to come and live with Miss Billy.....and even though I make my own, they are just not the same!!!!!!

Well I think that is enough babbling for me for one night....and I also think I really need to go to bed!

I PROMISE I will chat again real soon!
xo

Has it really been that long????

Well I have had a few big months....so much going on....My Nana fell really ill and is in hospital and has been for weeks and weeks, I fell over at derby training and haven't been able to skate for weeks and weeks - have another doctors appointment tomorrow and then of course - retreat organising!!!!

It is going to be a big one - and I for one can't wait!!!! A little birdie tells me that there are only 16 (I think) more sleeps!! Whoo hoo!!

And then on this day - 22 years ago - I gave birth to my first born....Happy Birthday to Dacynta!

So there you have it - a wrap up of my busy life in just a few sentences!

And on top of all of that in my scrapping life there has been the regular Monday night classes, The Handmade Expo, I am teaching a class up at Mimmi's at Forest Hill on Friday (there are still 2 places available if you are interested) and all the goings on at ScrapLounge!!!

Busy Busy Busy!!!! Hopefully things will settle down again soon and I can get busy blogging again!

Would you like to see some recent layouts???? I will share some tomorrow with you hey!

Stick 'n' Giggle Retreat

There are just 8 places available at this stage - BUT - these 8 spaces have to be confirmed before the end of the month or they will be gone forever! If you are thinking about coming along, you will need to make sure you contact me before the end of the month and also pay a deposit!

Hope to hear from you soon!

Guess what is on this Saturday!!!!!

That's right....The Handmade Expo - from 8am - 2pm at the Ipswich Turf Club - Brisbane Road Bundamba there will be lots and lots of handmadies all together in the one place - you can shop til your heart is content!

Stick 'n' Giggle will be there - so if there is something you would like me to bring along, please just leave a comment or email me at stickngiggle@live.com.au!

Hope to see you there!

Can anyone tell me.......

I am hoping one of you lovely bloggers and friends can help me.....I want to know why I can't see my followers anymore? You know...over there on the side - I used to be able to see all of your photos - and now I can't see anything.... I have checked the settings and there doesn't seem to be anything there that I need to change?

If you can help me - I will send you a little RAK! {mwah!}

I "am" still here.....

Oh my....it really has been a while hasn't it? I am so sorry for my lack of blogging....I am not going to bore you with what has been happening - but let's just say I have been super busy!

Retreat
Plans are going well! This retreat is going to be fabulous! Would you like to come? If so, please let me know as soon as possible stickngiggle@live.com.au and I will forward you all the details and everything you will need to know! Caloundra - here we come! September can't come soon enough I tell you!

Scrapping
There has been lots of that happening! I have been in a Circle Journal swap over at Artistic Document - the first one I have ever been in....it has been lots of fun - I have just two more to take the pics for and then I am done! I have also been a part of the ATC Swap over there! I am loving ATC's at the moment!

ScrapLounge has the monthly sketch and technique challenges - this month the technique is Decorative Borders.

And the gorgeous sketch was done by Kym! Here is my layout from the sketch! The photos are of my gorgeous girls and I on Mother's Day. We had such a nice morning out (just before I had to head up the Sunshine Coast for a derby game) at the Nerrima Gardens at Queen's Park in Ipswich. Oh and Macca's for breakfast - YUM!

And of course there is the "Be Inspired" challenge that I put up every month to try and get you thinking outside of the box!

I also decided that I would join in the fun of some blog challenges - I only got one done and guess what??? I won!!!! I was so excited I tell you! This was for Fancy That Scrapbooking! It was a sketch challenge and you all know how much I love sketches! Here is my layout for that one!

And how about that....all three layouts with photos of me! That just never happens!

Well that will do for now! Can't wait to come back and chat some more soon!
