It's Not That Bad...

Each morning before work, I have been going through the "before" room and putting away in the "after" room, last night when I got home from a PSP meeting with the girls plus one (I'll fill you on the one soon)I looked at the "before" room and became quite deflated.. Is that all I've done... But this morning I saw the photo from Monday's post and I feel a lot better-slowly but surely, the piles are decreasing... I have the lovely Miz D coming tonight to go through the "before" room with me-must say, Miz D does like my give aways.. (don't tell her I said that-LOL) But I do have a few items that I thought you all may be interested in-I'll pop them on ebay and post the link... You know those items you have sooo many of-1 or 2 that have never been opened let alone used-and believe me, you don't need 3 of the exact same thing-just in case you use it. Do yourself a favour-if you run out then buy another one..
I came across a few sample invites and pressies I had made for friends in a draw. I didn't want to get rid of them, but what to do with them??? I turned them into magnets... By cutting up a real estate magnet (sorry LJ Hooker-but thanks) and adhering it to the back viola.. I also did the same to a few metal bead and watch tins...
I have had time to purchase a few new Digital/Hybrid kits, elements.. I have started to play-will let you know how I go, once finished....

Organization

This weekend has found Don and I (in between classes) setting up our office, well really its my office, LOL.. Its amazing how much we collect over weeks, months and years.. We had one of the cabinet makers from work build our layout.. What fun it is to go through all my goodies and put away. I am a closet neat freak-I just don't tend to follow this through in all areas of my life-I think Laziness takes over.. But in this room... As I would like everything to have a place, something I thought that should take a day maybe two to complete....... I/we are nearly there..



What I have to Go...

Bench and Storage

Desk-Still Arranging

Old Paper Rack-FOR SALE

$20.00-Pick Up-Brisbane-Email me if you are interested.
With the boys away still we have the time-it is so quiet.. We really are missing the boys.. They are having sooooo much fun though.. Over the weekend they were with Uncle Shaun, Lesley and Toby.. Uncle Shaun has successfully converted them both to South Sydney Supporters (Shaun is the Merchandise and Licensing Manager for the Rabbitohs)
Both classes went well over the weekend..What I really love above all is meeting you all and watching you all grow more confident with what you are doing.. I even spied a few layouts on the walls the shops with wonderful enchantments to the photos from participants from last years classes...

Back at work this week...

Amazing how inflation has hit the tooth fairy as well.. I think my first tooth got me 10c-Ashton-$2.00-she really should carry smaller change...

Happy Hot /Wet New Year..

I know it completely depends on where you are in Australia.. We left Mackay on Wednesday-hot enough at 5am. To drive into the rain, which seems to have stayed-while the kids are still in Mackay enjoying 34 degrees plus -why wasn't it hot and sunny when we were up there-LOL...Prior to coming home-New Years Eve was a tame night for us, after the rain, the bugs came out to play-so we all stayed indoors and had a great night.. The boys went mad with glow sticks...Don and I have been having a great time (missing the kids like mad though) watching DVDs and organising ourselves and the household for the New Year...

I have been catching up on my blog reading/stalking ... A huge congrates to Petrina, who is now on the design team for Craft Queen and has two fantastic items in Scrapbook Creations 49.. You go girl.

Peta, has been a busy girl playing, Sara is off line for a week or so-oh, what is a girl to do without a PC-help..........

I'll be back soon with some huge news......
