Scraptapestry announcement and shares

Naomi at Scraptapestry has unfortunately announced that Scraptapestry is having a break for a while, but will be back bigger and better than ever in mid 2010.

But I thought I would take this opportunity to share some of the layouts I made using the October kit ...

More to come!

Cheers
Kim  :o)

New sketch up!

There is a new sketch up at Inspired Blueprints and I have taken the opportunity again to play with my new favourite paper line - Junior by American Crafts ...

That orange paper is varnished and it is TO DIE for! - by the way just noticed that the red star at the top is a little out of place - oh well!

I would also like to say a HUGE thankyou to everyone who has provided me with support and congratulations on making the Masters shortlist.  I have to say that I am thrilled and can't wait to see who makes the top ten - everyone on the shortlist would deserve a spot.

Cheers
Kim  :o)

Scraptapestry shares

I see that Naomi has started posting some layouts from this month's Scraptapestry kit on her blog so i thought I would give you a look at my favourite from this month ...

 

This kit is a bright and happy one - love it!  Lots more shares to come.

I am off to a Girls Night in Fundraising crop tonight - hopefully some scrapping will get done.

October Scraptapestry

The new October Scraptapestry kit has been released - NOICE!

The gallery will go up on the 20th, but I thought I would share a couple of sneaks.  I amde 8 layouts from the kit and still had heaps left ...

Go over and check it out - as always, Naomi's kits are great value.

Cheers
Kim  :o)

Ciao to all my Italian visitors!

I have been featured in an article by Paola at Carta e Ricordi and I have had lots of Italian visitors to my blog as a result - so "Ciao!".

I was thrilled to see that my work has inspired Paola and would love it if you link me up to any layouts that you have made that have been inspired by one of my layouts.

This layout is currently in the top 10 (votes and views) at 2 peas:

I spoke too soon

One should not speak to soon about things looking up - lol.  Not 15 mins after posting my last blog post, I got a call from Benson's pediatrician about a recent blood test that Benson had to have.  Turns out Benson has Celiacs.

Whilst far from being the end of the world, we are certainly going to face some challenges adjusting the little boy that loves cake to his new diet - FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.

I don't think he is going to be particularly impressed with the endoscopy that he has to have either.  Celiacs may be the answer to a lot of things though as Benson suffers from tiredness  - tiredness is a side effect of Celiacs and so is iron deficiency which Benson is also suffering from.

I am still in shock, so any advice would be much appreciated.

So in the end, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger ... it could be worse ... these things are sent to try us ...

Thanks :o)

Thanks for all of the lovely kind words and support that I have been given in response to my post yesterday.  My biggest problem is that I am a control freak - and it freaks me out that I am NOT in control  :o(

I will get there - today is already a little better, helped out by getting some rather nice scrappy news.  I think there is a bit of this good scrappy news going around at the moment, so I am sure all of the scrapbookers in Australia will know what I am talking about    :o)

So a layout - I love how this one worked out and I also love this photo that Janine took of me - it was the very last photo from the last session that we had.

today

has been a challenging day for me  :o(

Benson and I did have a bit of fun going to the movies to see Astro boy (wow did that bring back some memories!) and I got the grocery shopping done, paid some bills etc etc. Which I suppose is also good cause it is done.  But some disappointing news on a person front - no more to really say about it at the moment.

So I am fighting the blues and trying to think about the positives.  It is times like this that I am especially grateful to have a hobby that I can retreat to that allows me to think about all the good and wonderful things in my life that I have to be grateful for  :o)

So a layout (I did get a heap photographed yesterday - work from the last couple of weeks) ...

Signing off for now
