Big Happenings...

...in my life the past couple of weeks. First of all, I finished my Design Team term at Scrappin' Patch. Adrienne and Pauline are just fantastic, but I decided not to continue on for personal reasons, although I was tempted. I need to change my focus right now, but more on that in the next couple of weeks. I have to admit, though, I am already missing it. It is strange; I have all this time and nothing to do with it but housework, lol!! I want to say thanks to Adrienne and Pauline, and all the girls on the Design Team; I loved working with you all and miss you all terribly! Although, of course, I will still be hanging around the forum heaps, to get my fix! Oh, and congrats to my dear friend, Liz, who is now a part of the Design Team.

I mentioned, over at the SP forum, that I will make an announcement with my future plans, and so I will, but not just yet... and just in case you are wondering, I am not pregnant, and it's not scrapping related either.

Secondly, I am very excited that I was picked by Kelly Goree to be the 'favourite find of the month' in the Basic Grey newsletter; you can see it here on page 3. Here is my layout, using the BG Wisteria range, tulle and an embossed Bazzill cardstock for the background:

Oh, and thanks to Adrienne and Pauline; I actually made this layout using my last SP DT kit, and they were nice enough to let me remove the layout from their gallery, forum and blog until it was published in the newsletter.

Ok, it's getting late now and I need to go to bed. I'm off to Tauranga soon for a week, so hope to catch up on all my blogging on my nephew's laptop - thanks, Caleb! Then when I get back, it's SENZ, and Liz and I have a class on the Saturday -inking - and then the crop on Sat night. I hope to see some of you there; please come and say hi if you spot me - I am a little shy, but would love to see/meet you.

Enjoy the rest of the school holidays!

I heard you had left the SP team - I will miss seeing all your beautiful creations! Hopefully you will still scrapbook and show them here, as you have amazing talent (which is proven by Kelly Goree choosing your layout for the NL ... go you!!!!)

In the meantime, I look forward to hearing your exciting news! Be sure to share here as well (I don't get enough time to visit the SP forum, although I would love to).

Have a lovely break in Tauranga.

I'm not suprised Kelly chose your layout - you work, as always, is truly stunning. Enjoy your week in sunny Tauranga - and I'm so jealous that I aren't getting to go to SENZ this year! LOL.
