OOPs
Sorry Everyone in Scrappyland I seem to have been missing for a little while
but its called "Life" and whether we like it or not ....Life still happens
There is only a certain number of hours in a day  and sometimes the days slip into weeks and weeks into months etc etc

I do think about the Blog a lot but just never seem to find the time to come and write my ramblings
I will try and be better......baby steps

Anyway what a year we have had
Our gorgeous little Grandson Bentley was born in April - yep almost a year old now - crawling
Our super cute Grandson Spencer is 17 months old and a real little charmer
Our amazing Miss P is almost 2 and a half  - is a right little chatterbox and likes to try and do everything herself....."P will do it " but she does know when shes beat and asks for help

But onto more interesting things....
Imagine If
Some of you might have seen I have been asked to join the Imagine If  (3 Quarter Designs) DT
this is an honor and I was completely surprised when was asked
I must admit though it is fun just getting papers and being able to play for no reason than to play
and the papers actually make it very easy to create some fun projects and layouts
If you haven't visited their store yet online then follow the link http://www.imagineif.co.nz/and I guarantee you will love the papers and chipboard embellies  - if there is anything you want made I'm sure they will try their best to accommodate
You will have to wait just a little longer to see what I have come up with for them but do check out the paper packs - you will be in for a treat

Monthly classes
Last year I tried to change things around a bit to make it easier for Ladies to come along to class without using up all their weekends so made it 2 classes 1 day every 2nd month.....that didn't really work either so we are now back to 1 class 1 day and  the following are the dates up to Sept and we will see what happens after that

Dunedin 
April 6th,  May 18th,  June 22 and Sept - not sure of date yet

Balclutha
April 7th,  May 19th, June 23 and Sept.....

SENZ  19th - 21st July   Auckland  I will be teaching 7 classes from layouts, mini album, to cards

Mega Scrap Day
Dunedin Only  August 3rd  (13 of the 24 places have already been booked - please let me know if interested via email to robbiebell123@hotmail.com)

This months class is 2 layouts  1 is Pinks and Burgundy colours and the other is more neutral more boyish but easily could be a female one....just by adding a few different items or removing some
The papers used are from Primas  Georgia Blues  and Poetic Rose collections

this comes as a complete kit with both layouts - cost is $50 for class or kit
if you are interested in purchasing the kit but cant make it to class the courier fee is $7 for Residential and $9 for Rural - Please let me know in either instance via email above

Last month we created a  Flip Calendar that after the year is over can turn into a mini album with a couple of quick "snips"
there is a few of these kits left if interested again the cost is $50 the papers we used were Kaisercraft Wandering Ivy and it is a heap of fun to make

Ok well that's about it for this installment as I go and prepare the boys for the 2 mins silence for the terrible tragedy last Friday that happened in our little country

But I will leave you with some special  pics of 3 very special little people - note who was not invited to the Teddy Bears Picnic

Until Next Time

Take Care and Happy Scrappin'
