Sorry I've been gone...

GEMINI (May 21-June 21) Making lemonade from lemons is too passe for you. You'll turn your lemons into something more exciting -- a flaming sorbet or a fancy pie. With a twist and a flourish, you create magic and entertainment.

But life kinda got away on me again. But I'm going to try and make some pie out of it!

My Holiday Book

I've finally managed to upload some photos of my Holiday book I made in the weekend. As you can see I went with my favourite colour combination again!

Most of the pages came form Rachel's wonderful tutorial and some I made myself. I am also going to add pages of special events and memories as I go.

It was a lot of fun and I can't wait to add to it! Here are a few more of the pages in full.

New Stuff

I have just bought this...


from Owly Shadow Puppets. Seemed pretty apt for me.

Weekend Plans

My plans for the weekend involve starting on my holiday organiser/december book. I got this great tutorial from Rachel at Smile and Wave and am going to combine it with Ali's idea of December Daily. I did December Daily last year but felt it was a struggle to do a page everyday.

This year I am going to combine the two. An organiser that will have some pages in it from special events/memories etc. That way I don't feel obligated to do something everyday just so I can put it in the book.

My colour scheme is either going to revolve around pinks, dark raspberry, lemon/lime, teal and neutrals...

1. handmade corsage, 2. Pretty, Pretty, 3. pink owls, 4. Woodland Leather Journalette, 5. .favorite chairs., 6. Doors Open, 7. i like purple and aqua. , 8. Presents Are Fun, 9. Vintage Red Melamine Tea Cups

Or yellow, orange, teals and blues...

1. Cory + Chris II (Once Wed), 2. Abandoned Drive Thru, 3. A new day, 4. Aquarius, 5. Cory + Chris II (Once Wed), 6. Cory + Chris II (Once Wed), 7. Zacatecas 229, 8. Cory + Chris II (Once Wed), 9. So We Sailed Up to the Sun Until We Found the Sea of Green

Hopefully I will have some pictures to show you soon!

I love getting mail in the morning

Although it does make it much harder to actually go to work and not stay home and play!
I can't seem to get American Crafts stuff here in New Zealand anymore so I broke down, and despite the horrific shipping and pretty shocking exchange rate, I bought a whopping great load from Two Peas. It arrived this morning, much to my surprise. Now that was quick shipping. I can't wait to get home tonight and start playing!

But for now, I'm off to work. Have a great day.

No. 12 – DONE

Sold to my lovely collegue (probably out of pity) but I'll take it. I may put one on etsy soon. I actually got carried away and made TWO different ones! I know!
