online classes



ok here are the pictures for the online classes sorry that they wouldnt inlude themselves into the newsletter

NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER


Another month has come and gone, where is the year going. Someone scared me ALOT and said that christmas is just 8 weeks away. 8 weeks how does that happen!! I had a quiet month, but I really needed it...: )

This weekend me and scrapanalia are off to a small retreat to set up. It should be fun, i might even get to scrap a little if i am really very lucky.

PRODUCTS
In stock
Fantastic tins, would make great OTP projects for christmas.



Why not think of yourself and get hold of this great tool. We are memory keepers crop-a-dile is a fantastic hole and eyelet setter. We have so far not found an eyelet we cant set, and myself and friends have really tried.




ONLINE CLASS
This month I worked with the very pretty crate paper range, as my daughter requested the page of her and her grandmother.

Instructions for the page - $5
Kit to complete page - $6 (plus postage) and this month when you purchase the kit you get the page instructions for free. The $6 kit contains papers, buttons, flowers, eyelets, a length of ribbon and chipboard label holder.
Other products you may like to purchase heidi swapp ghost letters, and rubons of your choice when these are purchased for the class you recieve a 5% discount.

When you purchase the class I will send you the instructions as soon as the payment is clear and products will be forwarded by post. The class will be held on the 25th november over msn, just let me know if you wish to join us and I will get your msn address.

This month we also have a second class avaliable. Especially focused in the giving theme that is about to be set upon us. We have a cute little paper gift bag and matching addressbook as well.

Instructions - $5
Kit - $8 and remember to add postage...and if you purchase the kit this month you get the instructions for free. The Kit contains everything to complete both projects to make a very affordable gift for someone. I will hold the online part of the class one the 18th nov, as above using msn.

Ok i will pop up the sample in the next post as blogger is having a little photo moment.

until december, enjoy your scrapping time

we r finally getting the fence

well its taken forever but finally on monday they start building our retaining wall and fence woohoo...gates for the front of the house too...dotn know if i ever shared but quite a few weeks ago now we had our backyard levelled out...it had a rather large (it actually looked small hehe) hill removed from the corner of our yard....it took the poor guy a day and a half to do it all and the dirt it just didnt look like that much dirt it was crazy...here is a pic of it all dug out...its going to make a great yard for the girls




we have also been working onthe front of the house...i now have grass, gardens and finally the deck to my front entry way...only mulch and deck oiling to go and its all done im really happy with the way it all turned out.

and of course i have been scrapping away as usual...i have been working on embellished idol and am crossing my fingers that i make it through to round 3 tomorrow as the challenge sounds great thanks ali u really are taking me outside my usual zone which is just what i was looking for...as soon as i can share my work here i will but if u have time go and check it out www.embellished.com.au

i have also been working on my entry for everyday moments this month and while i didnt think i would be albe to use the onsert i was surprised and i ended up really happy with this






at the moment im right into the scrapbookers approach to card making with all my scraps im getting quite the collectios going which will be great when there are birthdays to deal with int he coming weeks.

hope everyone has a great weekend...i have been blogging but just lurking im afraid... ;)
