So Sorry

For the lack of scrappy inspiration as of late. I HAVE been busy indeed but of course, all projects are under wraps until September 15th and then MAN, you'll be in for a treat!!!

I have some Bo Bunny love, Petaloo love, ZVA Creative love, Scrap That! secret goodies - TONS of yummy project to share so please be patient!!

I've also been busy creating projects for some upcoming classes I will be teaching starting in October. Yes, I am finally teaching - yea!! Super stoked! Will be doing some layout classes, mini albums, cards and altered projects! I've already completed my class samples for the layout classes, card classes, mini album class and am just getting around to the October altered project - 7 Gypsies Printers Tray with Graphic 45 Steampunk - UGH! I'm sooo in heaven!! Actually the bulk of my projects that I'll be teaching at my LSS are with G45 so REALLY excited about that - love 'em to bits! If you're ever in the area - come by for a class!

How 'bout a sneak of some of my class samples and some cool pics from today?

Sneaky peeky of my first layout class.

Peek of my second layout class - both are "Family Themed"

Those of you who aren't already aware, I live in a gorgeous little town with a ton of history and Japanese culture. I live seconds away from the fishing docks where every weekend the boats will come in with their catches - prawns, salmon, halibut, etc. all totally amazing and sooo fresh! They just completed an enormous salmon run here and our little docks were CRAZY!! There were people from all over the world here to see the salmon and to get in on the amazing deals. As its the last run of the season, I caved and bought us one today. $15 for an entire, HUGE, sockey. What a gorgeous fish!

While my eldest ds is away at Grade 1, I've got some time with the other two kidlets - until next week when my youngest son will start pre-school. Then it'll just be me and my dd - how cool will that be? Total mommy-daughter bonding time!!

Fall is in the air - the leaves are changing and the weather is crisp and cool - adore this time of year (weather wise at least...)

I'll keep you posted with my goodies - don't worry - September 15th is right around the corner :> Maybe I'll have to do another blog giveaway to stall for time........ hmmmmm...

And Her Heart Swelled with Pride...

...as she dropped her baby boy off for his first day of Grade 1!!

No more half day Kindergarten, come home, have lunch and a nice afternoon nap. 'Grade 1 is for big kids' and its ALL day... although I'm pretty sure he'll be coming home for lunches. (which is totally fine by this mommy - just means a LOT more running around in the am....)

Snapped this photo of him right before we left - such a sweetie!! He was so excited and then once we arrived at school - complete breakdown! Poor thing - he was soooo nervous (of course!) and was crying, didn't want to get out of the car... But he did it. So very proud of him! Love you !

First Day Jitters

Can't believe my 'baby' will be starting Grade 1 in just three more days!! EEK - where did the time go and when did he get to be so big?

I created this layout using Bo Bunny's Learning Curve Collection and the sketch was provided by Frances.

Even though these papers have a definite 'school' theme, they are still super versatile as you will see with my second layout I've created using this line (next week) The gorgeous, bold colours can be used in fun/playful projects or gorgeous shabby chic styles as well.



Some of Bo Bunny's gorgeous new trim! These are sooo amazing!! LOVE the denim one featured here!

Thanks for popping by today! Hope you're all having a wonderful labour day weekend!!
