This is going to be looooong.......

Lots to tell you today, and lots of free goodies too:)

Our kitchen has progressed slowly due to a delay with choosing counter tops, but I am so exited to say they start installing today, Technistone, the white glitzy one I showed you below. The down lights are in, and the extractor fan and oven are installed. Hopefully by the end of next week I can move back in!
Great news. KimB Designs is now a permanent exclusive designer at ScrapMatters as of TODAY- and she is having a sale and lots of new goodies and re releases of favourite older kits in the store.

It has been ages since I posted, I have been really, really busy. The ADSR has come and gone, and what fun we had. And what awesome prizes!
My month as guest at NDISB is almost up, I have had a great time scrapping for the talented designers there. I was thrilled to be asked by none other than Ninascraps to be on her CT permanently, I start in October. She has such an awesome style, sort of grungy. Here is one of my LO's using her "It's a boy Thing" Kit, available at NDISB

This one was also done for one of the designers at NDISB, Loreta Labarca

Rainy Day Blues - and freebies!

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments on my blog an at 4shared concerning Storm. The family are coping, and I think talking about him and sharing memories is helping a great deal. My BIL and SIL have tons of support from family and friends.

Just a couple of LO's I have managed to do this week. KimB Designs has 2 beautiful new kits out, Precious Angel Memories Pink and Blue

They are both 25% off for a short time only!

I had 2 miscarriages 16 and 18 years ago, between my kids, but I was fortunate to have 4 healthy pregnancies and children. The miscarriages were both in the first trimester. Kim's kit was perfect for the page, and it is something I have never journaled about before now. I did it for a challenge on loss at Digital Candy.

Mari Koegelenberg and Erica Zane have a gorgeous new collab out called Berry Crush .
