Swap Sista

i am looking forward this year as most of you know that i will be doing the swaps for scrapbook capital and we are about to kick off our first one ((budget blues)). Thanks lorrie for being brave and giving me a shot at it . Also Lorrie is running a couple of comps this year that are well worth the look .CYBERCROP QUEEN SEARCH and a new one that she will be launching on WED this week go have a look I DARE YA!!.......I will be giving the CC queen search a bash cause i am already there at most of the CC.....but they have OTP and Card challenges ....which i am not very good at ....i find my mojo struggles in these 2 departments, but i am excited at the push to get me out of my triangle. Sharon and Tracey (the card and OTP design girls)have done up some of the most yummiest things last year and no doubt will give me the oooh and awww by the plentiful this year too. ....I am doing a running comparison between this year and last year ...my goal is to do 100 pages, and 10 OTP, and 20 cards. Also i would dearly love to see one of my pages in one of those mags, so i am going to become active in sending my stuff for consideration for submissions .....so lets see if this big mumma can stick to her plans

I would also like to give a little mention, to Rhonda (AKA Arby) who has slipped into a train driver position over at CD Doodles she is keeping things happening while the head lady is off having a bit of IRL sorting out time. Also thanks to you and Bee for your kind words of encouragement, was very humbling coming from such talented ladies .

To my friend Jax, thank you for your continued kindness and gorgeous friendship.

This lady who had never meet me, last year had me stay at her house in Melbourne. WHAT A BRAVE THING TO DO ........she had no idea the fruit loop she was letting in .lol.. But she has all year sent little RAKS to me which has made me feel nice. I have got a kick so many times this year from her because there is a little prize in my mail .......so i am going to make the effort to pay it forward ...because i want to help make people feel like she has made me ......but the last thing jax has sent me was some cute funky buttons ((((will let you know when i use them )))) and the most beautiful words in a card that had me all sookie la la with her kindness .....thanks kiddo mwhoa.

It has to be mentioned that i think that Lali, Anthea, Jax, Tracey and Lyndall need to stop all this holiday fun ...and get back to the scrap world ...you are missed and i want you back or i will have to chuck a tanty soon ......and on that not ...where is Mel and digi-girl/ Sharon ??? Futhermore Nina hurry up and get that water instructor thing done will you !!!
