doodling

Hi,
I wanted to share with you my first effort at doodling on a LO. Its not very good,but i am not going to change it. I did it with some white paint and a thin brush, i just started and found i couldnt stop...i quite like the busy feel it creates on my NY layout. I am sure it would have been better if i had used a white gel pen like i was planning to...but there you go.

Last days of The Craft Attic sale and then stocktaking for the next few days to keep me busy, I shouldnt complain, i have scrapped about 30 layouts in the last week....

til next time

Love these letters

I just wanted to share with you this layout - actually only the bottom half, that i did using these new clear letters from MM, called Funky Vintage - arent they just gorgeous? They are also sticky backed, which makes putting them on a breeze, no glue everywhere. The LO is my parents wedding. The swirls i created with the new AL stamps. Way cool! They are going on EVERYTHING atm.

Hope everyone is keeping warm in this cooler weather. Its been positively cold here in Brisbane, everyone is rugging up. My dd tells me its because of La Nina.

Countdown to 5 Aug

I am signing myself up for a 4.5km fun run, its part of the Bridge to Brisbane, held here on 5 Aug. My trainer doesnt think i will be ready for the 12km run, due to my lack of training because of my broken elbow, however, i am out running again now and on the countdown to enter the smaller event, the 4.5km.

I am just back from a run, I did the floating walkway in 24min 32secs, thats down on my previous time. I have to run about double that distance in order to complete the race, but at least its a start.

Over at TCA we are having a sale with a difference, starting tomorrow customers in store will be able to spin their own discount, anywhere from 5% to 45% is up for grabs. the bingo machine is loaded, so that should be a bit of fun during the week.

We are in our 4th challenge of AI Challenge 2007 and there have been lots of great layouts completed, and prizes handed out to lucky winners. Its still not too late to join us. Just visit the community for details.

If you are looking for scrapbooking classes TCA is offering a WINTER SPECIAL of just $12 per class. See the class schedule for details.

til next time....
cheers

Amish Country

Here is a layout i did a few weeks back, with pics taken while we were in Amish country, in Pennsylvania. The countryside was so beautiful and with horse drawn buggies clip clopping everywhere, it was so quaint.

Tomorrow i am going to an all day class with Bumblebee - working on the Collections range of products. Cheree, who teaches at TCA is coming with me. Should be a fun day. I will share with you the results later in the week.

On the elbow front, things are improving everyday, still a way to go before i can straighten it fully, and have full functionality back. I am now going to physio with good results [all those people who nagged me to do so may now roll their eyes and say 'i told you so'...lol...]
