at 4am. Early start here - DH is getting a cold so it's hard to sleep with a snorting, snoring, coughing fella hogging the bed. I gave up trying and decided to get some projects I've been a day or so behind with due to me snorting, snoring and coughing the last few nights weeks. Lucas has also been sick and was vomiting the night before last. He was fine last night but I'll keep him home from kindy today just to make sure he's out of the cold and having a quiet day to get over it. Touch wood Joshie's been fine. Soooo....
Over on the Aussie Scrap Source blog (have you got that one on your blogroll? you should) went this layout full of flower techniques. Loving the new Prima flocked rubons - they're easy to use, stick really well and make great flower centres!
So after a hugely busy month last month (yes I have a real job too), I've got a lot to look forward to in the next few months (well for the rest of the year actually!). SENZ is fast approaching and while I've decided not to teach there this year, I will be having a table in the craft market and selling (hopefully!) my jewellery. August has the ArtLab (so looking forward to that one!) and September has me flying over to Brisbane to teach at the Australian Papercrafts Festival. I'm so excited about it and will be teaching a Twiddleybitz Altered Book Album class, full of Shimmerz and Prima goodness. Here's a sneak...
October brings the Paper. Scissors, Chocolate retreat which I'm totally hanging out for!! Still some spots left if you want to join us for a fun weekend packed with goodies and creativity! Lots planned and next year is looking to be as full of excitement as the next 6 months. Loving it!
On the homefront we're planning on building a huge garage on the front of our property to use as offices. My half will be a big scraproom/office and will be big enough to hold crops/classes in! After scrapping in our lounge and working in our dining room for the last few months, I'm soooo looking forward to it. It'll realistically be about a year away I think, but when it's done... woohoo! I have lots of ideas on how I want it to look and will definitely share pics when it's built :)
And that's it for now... more stuff coming up so stay tuned :)

would love to do some pages with lots of journaling like you do, but there are always hard to come by and sometimes I've been enjoying too much of the creating side and neglected the journal part.

Gorgeous page, love the flocked rubons as centers! I feel for you with a snorting, snoring, coughing household!! Hope you all get better soon.
