Mental Blank

It has been on my mind to blog, but I am just having a mental blank trying to recall what I wanted to blog about.... hmmm.....

Anyhow, this month's Q Tea kit is probably my fave so far (though I also loved September's), and I used some of my kit to cover my 2008 diary - isn't it cheerfully cherry-ish? I replaced the ribbon bookmark thingy with the red lace from the kit, and attached a dew drop bling and a cherry button to the end, so it will be fun to use next year.

Thanks for all the lovely comments about my mini-book. It sold for a grand total of $61 at the crop day, which I was quite happy about :) And it is a good cause of course. I want to make more books like it, though, as I just LOVED choosing interesting and inspiring quotes, just because I like them, and then just going with the flow. I don't know if Ben would want me to make more, though, I had stuff ALL over the lounge while I was doing it :)

So at the crop day on Sunday, I finished the layout 'dig', which uses a kit from Scrap In Style tv, with that cool background paper designed by Kristina Contes. Then I covered my diary, then I made this bright and fun layout 'She Makes Me Laugh' about cousin Bec. It was totally a just for fun, splash colour on it kind of layout, which is very relaxing and cheery to make!


In the wee hours of the morning, well 5-something, I am due at the airport for my flight to Sydney. Then follows four days of scrapbooking workshops, photo shoots, and general wandering about - all by myself! I am so excited about the classes I have booked - two with Celine Navarro, and one with Lusi Austin. I also loved the sound of Lusi's class on Sunday, but Sunday is my photography day. I limited it to 2 days at the Papercrafts festival ;) Monday is totally unplanned so far, other than the flight home at night time, so that will be interesting too! If anyone will be at the festival, I might see you there!
