My Scraproom.........

is starting to come together. Thanks to Michelle for the help in re-arranging & sorting out products so I now know where most of my stuff is. Isn't amazing how you don't think of putting a set of shelves on its side so it fits in to the built in robe...now I have this amazing storage in the robe which gives me heaps of room. I will post some photo's here tomorrow as the light will be better then.



And since the room is tidy I have been inspired to scrap again!!!!!lol...... I have two LO's to show you all. This photo was taken by Theresa my sister inlaw ...thanks Tess for this great photo I hope you like the way I have scrapped this.





This next LO is a sketch from Alicia Barry's planned pages blog I just new which photo I was going to use so here you go Alicia this one was inspired by you, thanks. It's not the best photo I will try again tomorrow in better light!

This photo was taken in Vila while on the cruise. This is one of the small waterfalls we didn't go right to the top because we thought we didn't have enough time but never mine we will just have to go again sometime.

I must say that since before the wedding I have not scrapped for the pleasure of it but because I had to get things finished for the wedding. But now that my life has returned to normal again I find i have the time to scrap for myself again & i'm really enjoying it. I have signed up for not just one Retreat this year but two!! Yes that is right two retreats in one year as I have so many photo's to scrap the first one I will be going to is with Scrapbook City in July and the other one in August with Tess and this one is with Scrappidoo at Landsborough, so both will be winter retreats so i will have to take all the winter woolies with me.



Over the last four days i have been in Cairns with work. I was lovely to go up there, I can tell you that for the first time I can honestly say that I was home sick! What can I say I thought it would be nice to see where I grew up again but I well I don't know the place has changed so much.

I did get to check out a few Scrap shops and I can honestly say they have some talent up there.
One shop I found online before I went up there called Ruby St Designs. Kris sources vintage items from lots of different places. Check out her site here http://www.rubystdesigns.com.au/ I spent sunday afternoon with Kris looking at the goodies in her studio wishing that I had a few hundred dollars to spend. I was able to see the collections for this month IRL and I can tell you that they are worth every cent I will photograph the goodies I purchased tomorrow just so you can see what I mean..... Michelle you will love them!!!!

The other shop I was able to go to in my lunch hour as the shop was just up the road from the office this one was Paper Possibilities this store has a great range of papers some of which I had not seen before so I had to buy them & they also had some lovely ribbon that I just could not resist.....I will post photo's of these tomorrow as well.


Well if you are still reading this thanks and I will post more tomorrow. And just a little wedding photo's update I will post some professional shot tomorrow as well.


For now remember play & scrap nicely!

Thanks for reading,

Peta
