CHARITY SCRAP A FEW DAYS AWAY

Hi there,

Hope you all had a nice relaxing weekend! My weekend was hectic. My son was on KTV on Saturday morning and we had to be at the MNET studios at 7 in the morning.. yawn !!! Too early for me ! LOL. They had lots of fun and won soccer balls and other small prizes for taking part in challenges, games, etc. Nice morning out for the kids. Nice that KTV do that for the kids !
Hubby was home from East London as well, so that was nice to spend time with the family. Due to spending so little time with my family, I have made the decision to no longer teach classes at SCRAPNIFICENT. I will only be teaching from my studio (Homespun Scrapbooking, 7 Kameelperd Ave, Krugersdorp) and from SCRAPBOOK 'n THINGS (Florida - Lara). So please remember to book early to get into the classes, as they do fill up quickly.

One of my favorite quotes is: “Always carry a camera as life happens all around you”.. this is so true.
Driving home yesterday I came across this site in our local park. How awesome. The “inventor” was quiet happy for me to take some photos of his “Nissan Mandela”.. amazing how creative some people are.

SCRAP SHEETS DESIGN TEAM

Wow, I am very excited, I have been asked to join the Scrap Sheets design team.

Received my first pack last week using the awesome new CAT cutouts and Scrap sheets papers:
Thanks to Claudia for these stunning photos of her babies !



I also received the latest Pack of NETBALL cutouts to use and used these awesome blue papers from Scrapsheets ... they worked very well with these photos of Deandre !





Both these layouts will be kitted end of May for purchase. If you would like to purchase, please let me know on 082 874 1806 or sa_homespun@mweb.co.za and I will send you more details.

Scrap Sheets papers are so easy and fun to work with. They have at least 3 to each range so that the colors all blend and work well together.

Along with their Chipboard themes they also have LETTERS and SWIRLS, etc to go with all the layouts.. Love using this range !
Thanks again to Lorna and Debbie for adding me to your team !
Hugs, Mich

WHAT A FUN WEEKEND

Wow, what fun we had at our 101 Scrapbook Beginners Retreat otherside of Pietersburg !



10 girls... all eager to learn how to scrap.. they came packed and ready. We left bright and early on Friday morning and scrapped from early morning hours till late in the evening from Friday to Sunday !


There was still time however for some fun by the bonfire, to go on game drives (even at 11 at night) and to drink shooters for breakfast !

A few injuries were found along the way, but what better way to love your craft than to add a bit of yourself to it.. LOL!

We done a Beginners Mini album and done 2 double layouts on the Saturday. All the girls almost finished and I was very proud of them ! well done ladies.





Kits available at R 145-00 (all inclusive).
