It's been one of those days...

Knock knock knock

I hear the tapping on my screen, yes I am still here! Just busy. Tarisota gallery just went up all of about 5 minutes ago and so I was working on that. I had a lot of fun with the chipboard and other goodies this month, although this is my fav layout probably. Very unusual compared to what I usually do, I had to put my Andrea Senn hat on before sitting down to create this one. I have so much respect for those of you that scrap with a lot of white space and manage to create such calm serene layouts. Suz Doyle and Donna Wild are 2 more ladies that come to mind that scrap this way.

And so we are in the middle of the Easter break - it's been a fab weekend so far and THANKYOU to those of you that emailed and asked about Jacob, the dental nurse gave him 3 different injections into the roof of his mouth and up under the top lip towards his nose, he was soooo brave, and she pulled that tooth right out. It has been about 6 days now and already there is a good 3 -4mm of big tooth through. The dental nurse said the baby tooth would have stayed right there for months had it not been pulled out. I have never heard of that situation before. And yep, jacob handled it like a trooper.

And so one of the highlights this weekend has been paul trying out his new 'softbait' rod - basically you don't use smelly bait, you use rubber bait (biodegradable, which is good, cos Paul lost 3 lots of it in the rocks at Maraetai).
Love this pic. Love that Paul and Jacob are doing something they love together, and I love that I clicked just as the bait hit the water. I timed it well. Totally unplanned, but timed well.

A big week for me, with this post on ScrapScene. I get scrapscene delivered to my mailbox every morning via email, I learn all the stuff that goes on behind the scenes. love it.

And I'm going to point out this thread on 2peas . Mainly because it has all the contributors linked there. I don't know if they have all been fully 'outed' for their part in the book. (thanks ladies!).

Finally - hands up who is sitting in on my Ransom class at Freestyle?!! Ok it doesnt say anywhere but if you have to bring a 1/8 hole punch if you have one PLEASE!!! If you know anyone sitting in on this class, please let them know!? thanks - my fault it isn't in the tools list - it was case of blindly picking it up, creating away and putting it away and forgetting I even used it. Which meant I was having fun, but also meant it was left off the tools list. So pass the word around please!

I lied. That wasn't finally THIS is finally - do you all check out the Aussie Scrap Source blog? That thing is chocka full of inspiration. And updated regularly. yea I'm a part of the DT there but I still check back every few days to see what has been placed up on the blog. Cool inspiration.

And the winner is....

Pickin a winner - I could have done this yesterday but I was too busy not scrapping with 10 other ladies not scrapping. WE talked lots though :o) Anyhoooooooo I wrote all the names on a piece of paper and I wrote the names of those that linked back, twice. And I think there were about 50 little pieces of paper. I asked Paul to draw a name and he picked .... "Carol Dillon!!!". I looked back through the comments and see Carol is in Sydney but does not have a blog... email me, Carol! nic.paul (at) xtra.co.nz ASAP :o) Woohoooo yea! Come sit with me in my class, I have some cool stuff planned.

So a new week looming. Tomorrow brings the dental nurse for Jacob. He has a front tooth that has been wiggly for weeks, perhaps even into the months... it got wiggly and then locked up again. It moved into the middle. I took him to the dental nurse and she said it has to come out. I remember when I had an injection in the roof of my mouth for the first time. OH MY GOODNESS. poor love. Check out this pic. (ok so it is a very bad pic, but I actually snapped it when he was being a smartass and getting in my way, I'll take a better one tomorrow before school.) IS that a wicked tooth or what? Right in the middle.

Like sigmund the seamonster . dont tell me you dont remember sigmund. Green and covered with seaweed with one tooth in the middle.lol.
