The wishbone will never replace the backbone. - Will Henry

Long weekend is over....

The All Blacks had a nerve racking win...thank goodness; the weather was a mixed bag;  we managed some down time;I had to buy a new fridge as the door on our old one has a mind of it's own sometimes popping open; I got photos developed but I didn't get the project I was working on finished or stock loaded onto the blog. Yesterday the sun beckoned me outdoors into the garden instead.....

So I have decided to open the house for sales again in a couple of weeks time....Saturday 5th November 3:30-6:30pm or on sunday 6th november 11-4:30pm.

The Advent Calendar class is on that Saturday 5th November from 9:30-4pm for those of you who wish to join us....there will be three different colour options and two different insert options for $110 includes lunch & kit.

 Email me if you are not sure where to come for shopping or wish to book the class  bl.jordan@xtra.co.nz

 

Storyology by Ali Edwards......

You all know how much I love to journal but I also know for many of you it is often about where to begin, and finding the right words seems difficult.....so for just $14us here is the link to learn more about what Ali has to offer. Each year she also takes a 25 days until Christmas free class which will begin shortly...and this would be a great place to practice what you have learnt in the story telling class. All this information can be found in the same link.

Enjoy and I will share some journaling with you soon....

Over the weekend....

I will be loading information about the last two classes for the year....plus updating stock lines. Lots of those little things we love to use, have arrived like Tim Holtz Distress Rock Candy crackle, glossy accents, there are templates & Christmas papers. There are several more orders due in too.

Plus I will load a little project I have nearly finished about, how I am feeling starting a new part time job.

Something to think about for today......

Thanks Philippa for finding this....

Scrapbooking most of the weekend.....

How was your weekend? Mine was great...Trish I had set aside this past weekend to get wedding projects started. She had her daughter's wedding album to start, I had one to put together for a wedding gift. Trish has 21 LO's finished, or ready for embellishing and some started that she wants to chat with her daughter about........amazing!! I have 14 LO's finished plus one nearly completed....had hoped for 20 for the album but I'm nearly there!

Here's our mess....

 
Here's some of my layouts...

 
 
We used the new Pearl glimmermist to make our own black & white bling cardstock, and of course the Irredescent gold was another favourite on flowers etc.....

I have decided I really like working with a set of themed papers like this for an album.....might have to do this a little more often. It certainly makes choices easier, scraps can be used up like the LO in the 2nd photo...cut into 2" or 4" squares set into a double mat with photos inbetween. The one I am currently working on are 2" squares & then I will set a black photo mat of top of it again....

Get some girlfriends together and set aside time to do a special project...it is really worthwhile. Thanks Trish for a great weekend!
