Life is good...

Hard sometimes...but good. Things have finally settled down a bit for me. I am now enjoying a routine and I'm happy. I'm so grateful for all the good things in my life at the moment. I live in a beautiful town, have a beautiful family and now a scrapbook shop that is up and running too. I feel so fulfilled.
National Scrapbooking day was not a big event as sport is on Saturdays so it clashed but I'm sure there will be plenty of other opportunities to get together and scrap with the girls. I had my first class today - a beginners class. It was fun to introduce some new girls to scrapbooking and see their anguish over putting their layouts together, then their excitement when their layouts were finished. I warned them that they would go home and either not sleep tonight or dream about scrapbooking all night. Do you remember doing that? It happens to me occasionally if I've had a big scrapbooking day. Amy,my assistant, wasn't a scrapbooker until now..now it wont be long before she is addicted like the rest of us. You should see the excitement on her face! (and by the way... she is so good at her job). It's so satisfying for me to see people enjoy the craft.
I have managed to get my creative juices going again and have done a few layouts which I will photograph soon to show. I have loads of photos printed out and papers chosen for new layouts so I'll put my head down and tail up while Matt is off busy at work. Seeding is about to start (praying for rain) so there will be plenty of nights alone for me scrap.

Some new goodies are in at the shop. Basic Grey's new line 'Lime Rickey' is in stock and is very bright and funky...
New 'Orbit', 'Lillian' and 'Little Sprout' by Crate Paper...
New 'Baby Safari" boy and girls ranges by Little Yellow Bicycle...
Most new paper ranges are coming out with die cut papers that are to die for...very intricate and very cool. Also there is lots of glitter and clear embellishments. Owls, trees and birds in multitudes...still! It's all eye candy.
That's all for today. Be back soon with more stuff to show. Ta ta.
