Someday is not a day of the week

One day, someday soon....when I've got 5 minutes spare....I will get it done - this is the story of my life at the moment and to be honest it has been driving me slowly bonkers! I've been dashing around, chasing my tail, and meeting myself coming back!! If only there were more hours in the day *sigh*

I've been caught up with real life stuff - broken fingers, school and college assignments, family and Educational matters and to top it all - Hubs was in an accident last Thursday and is now on crutches! We see his surgeon again on Tuesday and will find out then the full extent of the damage caused.....the one thing I've learnt over the past couple of weeks is that life is simple, but sometimes its just not easy!

To stop myself from shrivelling up under the duvet and turning into a snivelling ball of tears and snot, I've kept myself occupied playing with pretties from Prima.

I loved the sketch Anam designed for Prima's March Build a Page and decided to make it in to a letter sized page for my "Just Us" album.

Last month I was invited to a party :D
I'm off to The Netherlands in April to go teach a bunch of Prima classes at Paper and Pictures 6th Birthday Celebrations and this past week have been busy putting the classes together.

We will be playing with one of Primas new Canvas Build a Books, along with a host of gorgeous Prima papers and plenty of blooms and bling. All of which, when put together, create a very tactile and textured family themed mini book.
As well as the minibook class, I'll be teaching two layout classes, which will of course use lots of the newest releases from Prima. :D

And finally - I couldn't resist using Primas Shabby Chic and Flights of Fancy patterned papers to create my take on this weeks Pencil Lines sketch, which was created by guest designer Tara Orr.

In between tending to his Lordships every need and attacking the spring cleaning, I've kept myself occupied with my nose firmly buried in this book......
