What a great time I had at kiwi Scraps. Ali, Cathy and Donna were just awesome.
I could only attend the Friday sessions as it was Kate's 4th Birthday on the Saturday.
I was lucky enough to get into all of Ali's classes and one of Cathy's. Unfortunately I was unable to do any of Donna's but I heard great things about them.
I really loved learning some techniques from Ali...she is awesome...so down to earth and fun.
Cathy was hilarious too...and her son Coleman was a scream...he even asked the class if we would like his autograph. I did meet Donna and she asked me if the D in Sallyd was for my bra size!!!! By the way it is not...too funny.
I really enjoyed catching up with so many old friends and finally meeting some other people that I have talked to for ages.
I really wasn't myself on the day so if you have just met me for the first time....you have to forgive me. I had been really sick a few days before but was determined to attend. I found the crowd really overwhelming...but I loved it all the same.
Thanks for putting up with me.
Congratulations to my good friends Trina and Evana who both gave birth to beautiful baby boys in the last 2 weeks. They breed them big in NZ - Daniel McClune was 11lbs and Joel Willis was over 10pds. Congrats to you wonderful ladies on the arrival of your BIG boys.
This is a LO I just did for Shop and Crop using Lilykate papers from the new Basic Grey range. Gotta love Basic Grey they never fail to impress!!!
Be sure to check out the gorgeous creations from the other DT girls and if you are free on Friday the 25th August at 8.30 pm then be sure to join in all the fun of the Shop and Crop Cyber Crop. I am also teaching an online class but all the packs are sold so there is no room left. Should be fun.
On Saturday I have 3 classes at Scrapabout Australia. I always love teaching there and we all have so much fun.
Then on the 9th of September I will be teaching a guest class at Scrapbook HQ at Sutherland. I am really looking forward to teaching here as it is my favourite local store. I would love to see you there.
This the most recent LO I did for the Aussie dare site - How Dare You. We were challenged to use Coffee Filter paper on our LO. I tore mine and scrunched and glued it as a photo mat. It was so much fun!!!! Be sure to check out this week's dare too.
This photo was taken in Tasmania when i was down there in July. What a beautiful spot it is too.
OK...I am off to scrap :)
Girl it was great to catch up with you if only for a very short time. Must get together again really soon. xoxo

Hi Sally How are you going ? Kiwi Scrap sounds like it was loads of fun. The layout using the new basic key is stunning, and I love what you did with the HOW DARE YOU layout. I hope you are feeling better soon as well.
Have a lovely weekend.
Best Wishes
Carole.

Wow, you have really been getting around lately! Great LO's Sally and I completely understand what it is like to not be yourself at a scrapbooking event! It's hard enough just to get through classes when you feel wretched and then to find the energy to be ultra sociable can be tough. Hope you are feeling much better now.

Love your work Sally! I'm a Shire girl also (though we now live on the central coast) and I always make sure I visit SBHQ when I'm staying at my parents in Bangor. It's a great store!!! I've been admiring your work for a long time. Thanks for sharing it with us!
