{Time for a Rest}

Well I have been a very slack blogger and for those of you who know me well, you will of course know that I have always struggled with the whole BLOG idea......lately I don't even read others blogs let alone update my own....hmmmm slack I know.  I still love all the people whose blogs I read but I have been doing alot of soul searching and find that my time is better spent with my family at the moment.  Wayne has now finished Uni, my daughter Kate has her last year at home next year and one of our close family is very sick...all of which have lead me to my next decision.

I have sadly resigned from all my current DT's including Shop and Crop which was of course the hardest decision to make.  Sasha and Paul have always been so supportive of everything to do with me and my scrapping and I feel like I am leaving my family not just a DT.  They have given me many wonderful opportunities all of which I have truly loved and enjoyed.

Now if you would love to join this absolutely wonderful DT and little family then check out all the info here.  Applications close 5pm EDST 15 November 2006.  Sasha is increasing the team from 6 to 8 and has some very exciting new plans to put in place.  So come on and put in your application to join the wonderful Evana, Jaimie, Kylie and Maree.

In a not so happy coincidence for Sasha and the team, (and even though we are friends, neither of us had any idea the other was doing it!!!!) Alison has also resigned for similar reasons to myself.  I will really miss her work!!!

I still have one more project for Shop and Crop so I will finish in mid-November.  Here is my latest LO...on Motherhood.

I used words in the journaling to describe all my different experiences of Motherhood.

I have also created a Santa Book for you to collect all your children's memories of Santa which is available at...yep you guessed it....Shop and Crop.

It is in a kit form with instructions on how to create a few pages as well as ideas for capturing those precious memories like lists and letters to the big guy

The next picture a Santa clipboard that I created for a class at Scrapabout Australia....as usual, it was a wonderful day.  Thanks to all the ladies that attended.

I will still be teaching classes and I am very excited to say that I will be teaching a Christmas class at my very own local Scrapbooking store Scrapbook HQ on November 18th!!!!  So please if you are free drop in to say Hi!!!  I would love to see you there.

I would just like to thank everyone who visits my little old blog for your support and apologies from me for not returning the favour!!!  This will be my last post for a while whilst I focus on my family and life...lol...and try to reignite that spark that scrapping used to give me.  I hope to continue with any magazine work that comes my way and will also

return to the How Dare You site early in the New Year.  Speaking of which...be sure to check out the World Wide Dare they are doing at the moment ...very exciting.

Well bye for now!!!!!
