Keep Your Fingers Crossed...

Oh, oh, oh, I am so excited!! Remember I mentioned I completed a layout at my friend's house last weekend? Well, I have just had an email from Up2Scrap, and it has been shortlisted for the November issue!!!! I won't know until 20th Sept if it will be published or not, so please keep your fingers crossed for me. I have never had a layout published before, so I am very excited to even be shortlisted.

In other news, I'm a bit bummed; we were supposed to be going away this weekend to Taupo, and to take Aurelia to see snow for the first time, but the weather forecast is so bad, we are now not going. So, we will spend a wet weekend at home instead. Never mind, I will try to fit in some scrapping time, but I don't usually get much done on the weekends as I have Aurelia all the time.
I am sitting here in my scrap room, waiting to see what the Sketch Book Olympics are over at http://www.sketchbooknz.com/. Would love to do another competition; I need some deadlines!!

OK, as promised, here is my final layout for SYTYCS - we finally had to do our own style, and I am very happy with this one. I love the photo especially.


And yes, my darling did used to kiss us like this all the time! Sadly, no longer. OK, I will leave you with that. See you next time.

Love love love that button tree. My fingers are crossed for you regarding being published. Sorry to hear you are not heading off to the snow but weather wise it sounds like we are all better off staying at home.

Congrats on being shortlisted, Tracy! I'm sure you'll get in.

Thanks for your comment on my post about postponing our snow trip. We definitely know how each other is feeling right now, huh?! I hope Aurelia is not disappointed ... and that you can go another weekend.

Fingers crossed for you, but your work is so stunning that I bet you'll be in there. Shame about the trip, but ain't that the joy of living on these unpredictable islands!

Bummer about the snow trip. I hope Aurelia isn't too disapointted!
I am sure your layout will get accepted, your work is awesome! And it sure is a huge buzz being published!
Your last layout for SYTYCS is gorgeous! I adore the photo and the tree is very unique.
