I'm buried... As you can tell by the lack of blog updates. I'm buried under BasicGrey CHA work, my Big Picture SCrapbooking workshop (last day to register, I believe) and SENZ preparation this week. I've been working 12-14 hours a day solid, while trying to involve three gorgeous kids on school holidays. Actually I'd be lost without their help.
Anyway, on a trip down to the shops to buy new printer ink, Abby must have picked up on my anxiety about time. And how it was slipping away. We'd just passed 3 police cars in one spot. Jacob asked what they were doing and I said it looked like they'd just picked someone up for doing something wrong.
"You can go faster then, Mummy, because there are no polices here. They are all back here. Noone will see you. Go faster, go faster".
I thought you had to be at least 16 before you started to mentally keep track of where all the police were in the town and figure out that if you just passed all three community cars then the liklihood of getting caught for speeding was near-zero.
No. I didn't go faster.
I wish I could have.
But the results will be worth it, these class kits are looking great. I wonder sometimes if it is some common gene crafters have. Anyone else love looking around office supply stores? Stationery shops? Anyone else love putting little crafty bits and pieces into bags? Just me? !!
Leaving you with a layout that has recently gone up on the Aussie Scrap Source blog. It was done just about completly with Tattered Angels. I've seen the new colours coming out at CHA and once again, they are gorgeous. Adding those to the list.
That's a huge list these days. lol
laters
nah, it's not just you :-) I love thinking about what people will think when they open the bags and see what's inside too :-)

The detail and handiwork on your pages just takes my breath away. And your kids make me giggle. :)

No, you're not the only one. I am drawn to the stationery aisle in the supermarket and just stand there thinking surely I must NEED something here!
Love your Bubs layout and can't wait for more Tattered Angels stuff.

Oh I am so glad I am not the only stationery freak out there, I also started young - with the school stationery, then in stationery shops - buying sets because they were just so pretty. Making little notes for the family etc.
As for making up kits - I love making up packages, RAKs are just so much fun it you do it in multiples so that you get to package up several items and make a bunch of fun tags to go with them - yeah I think I am a true freak lol - but I love it.

I adore stationery too. I don't know if you've read "The Lovely Bones", but the main character is in heaven, which contains all the things she really likes. In MY heaven, there will definitely be a huge stationery store!

Lovely pages as always. Too funny if your children are calculating the options based on availability of police resources. Makes you wonder how do their little minds work at times and a good reason to want to capture the million little memories of every day moments.

Another paper freak here too! Yep, kids have the cop cars sussed. Makes you wonder what they will be like when they start to drive?? No, wipe that thought from your mind. LOL. Awwww for the layout.
