xmas album

I made a cute little xmas album in craftwood this week. Its all ready for my photos. I just covered the album in papers and added some rubons. I will probably add 2007 to the front page when i scrap it. I also put on lots or ribbons as i love ribbons.
The front.

One of the inside pages.




Very sad to see Daniel voted off idol, but i did think his voice was letting him down, still i liked him and just think Tarasai and Marty should go now. I am very pleased that navyboi got through! Whoo hooo!!! go you good thing!

on with the show...

I am very disappointed to report that one of my Idol favs, Ben, was voted off on Monday, and that he and Matt were the bottom 2. I just dont believe this at all. Anyway, thats the way it goes. Marty, tarasai, natalie should all have gone before him. Anyway, at least navyboi adn Daniel are still there.



The shop is going well, i have great new products in store with heaps more arriving this week and next. Today i stocked up on some cool, new papers and templates from ONE HEART ONE MIND. they are really great and all on the web site now. My plans for increasing shop stock are going along nicely too. I have new racks ready to put up and am picking up some paperstands next week. Looking forward to all the new arrivals..whooo hooo....

life as we know it

Life is busy as usual - not complaining, busy is fun!!

I have been catching up on my Patrick Wilson movies, my favourite actor. Yesterday I watched him play Raoul in Phantom of the Opera opposite Emmy Rossum. How beautiful that girl is. Patrick was just so handsome and gorgeous! I also watched him in Hard Candy - a thriller with him and Ellen Page, a young actress who did an excellent job in this strange but riveting film. Go PW!! On the weekend i saw The Alamo, in which he played William Travis. Not only was he fantastic in this - but i also learnt something about the Alamo which i kinda knew about but didnt really iykwim? Anyway, a feast of Patrick this week!

Apart from that i have been setting up some cool websites, more on this later. One thing that is now functional is my online class booking system for The Craft Attic. Customers can now go in and book themselves a place online. The classes run for 1 hour and are one on one. You can see my fab new booking system here...



I am also busy organising the new PHOTOSHOP class we are having. Getting lots of interest on this. Places are filling, so that is good news. I am also very excited that we will be running photography classes next year. Cant wait for that, plans are underway and dates are being reserved.

IDOL...mmm....not happy Jan! Cant believe 2 of my boys (Daniel and navyboi) were in the bottom 3. Luckily it was Jacob who went home this week. Forgot to say that Mark went home last week. Guess i was too excited about Daniel's touchdown! MATT got another well deserved touchdown....i keep waiting for Andrew to say (on Monday night) Matt...you sang....blablabla...and the public have agreed... YOU WIN!! Really, as much as i like some of the others, I think Matt is the best contestant EVERY on Australian Idol. Now, those that know me are probably saying "WHAT THE??? Better than Shannon?? " and the answer is yes, even better than my shann, which is saying something!

hi there

Another week gone and we have been very busy. The house is on the market and if you would like to see it there is a link below. Its ooking really great so hopefully it sells quickly.



Idol acoustic night was so great, with Daniel getting a touchdown for his version of Kiss' "i was made for loving you" and well deserved. Matt was again outstanding, Ben was great and navyboi was just fantastic!!! whoo hooo, he played the trumpet.



Scrapping has taken a backseat to getting the shop organised and doing my tax - i had to turn everything upsidedown to find all my tax stuff, so thought i may as well get it cleaned up and organised while i was at it.

stay well.
