Its been Monday all week!

Its been almost a week since I blogged and I have so much to catch up on.

The reason for my absence - unfortunately J was involved in an accident last week which has meant my days have been filled with seeing to my young mans needs, as well as a couple of interviews with the men in blue!
A silly neighbour decided to run over a couple of the kids as they were waiting for the school bus....*sigh*

J is OK now - the car ran over his foot before squishing his school rucksack.
J was more concerned about his flattened cell phone than he was his foot - which is still sore but thankfully not broken.
The local plod have sorted out the neighbour and action has been taken to make sure he drives with more care in the future.....time will tell because he really is a bit of a nutcase on the road!

Whilst J was home from school I spent some time scrapping with him....he has begun to show a real interest in art at school, so likes to spend some time in my scraproom "messing".
He created a couple of rather funky collages for a school project - silly me forgot to photograph them before he handed them in for marking!

Saturday I went to my crop and taught a minibook class using Rusty Pickle kits -


I loved the mini album I saw back in June, when I met with Lance Anderson at a retailer training day - Lance had some spare kits so I thought the gals who come to my crop might enjoy them - I jazzed the book up a bit and used lots of Stickles, bling and buttons to add plenty of dimension to the pages.







Sunday Hubs and I took some time out down on the beach - its a sure sign winter is on its way - the beach was deserted apart from Hubs and I and a JCB moving the storm defence rocks back into place.

We both sat on a rock and watched - how sad eh?


The Bad Girls Top Designer Contest is heading towards its final stages - class 5 in the Design School went live yesterday - "the queen of paper" - Heidi Sonboul - teaches a great colour theory class, so why not come over and take a look.....the FREE classes have been really inspirational and I for one have learnt so much about applying the design principles to my pages.

Thanks for for dropping by.
