Sunday Snoozy Sunday....
Well it feels that way, worked last night (another wedding at work) and then back this morning @ 6am, I'm shattered, and Gus is flat out asleep on the floor, poor fluffems is exhausted.
Anyway just been to Aussie Scrap Source, check out the new Basic Grey...mmmmm, NUTS about the Bling it On range, needs to be seen to be believed.
It has been so hot here the last few days,totally intense. Last night around 8pm it was still 30deg, we had an English tour having dinner in the function room and some of them were on the brink of passing out, it was horrendous. Great night for a wedding though, had all the doors open and the guest spilled out into the garden, it was gorgeous. Only about another 7 to go this season I think, fun fun fun.
Wish I had a microphone, Gus is snoring and it sounds so cute.
Well next week is going to be very exciting.... I get to see my sister and niece, Wahoo! Can't wait. Must get back to the little quote book I'm making Sam to take to school, just a little something to remind her how good life is for those times when she might find boarding school a bit daunting. I really hope she enjoys it and she will be able to come and stay weekends so that will be cool.....there goes my scrap stash LOL!

Yah for the "no work" weekend!
Thought it was time to add some more pages to my calender I started way back in February. I turned over to June this morning and realised that it was the last one. I found this gorgeous picture of Miss Jemima the other day and just new I had to scrap it, so it became "July". The papers are Basic Grey, Periphery and Archaic, these two stories go well together I think, the flowers are Petaloo and the leaves and scrolls I cut on the Cricut Expression. The leaves embossed with the Cuttlebug and rubbed with copper ink, then just gently folded in the centre. Really pleased with how they turned out cos they look like really dry leaves.
I really have had a ball this weekend scrapping, no work since Friday and I've just played. Big day tomorrow though starting at 6.30 am till 10.30 am then going back at 2.45 till 10.45m, but never mind it's extra pay being a public holiday. Yes I like this job!
Really tempted to start another layout, mmmm!

Title Wanted!
I came home from Scrapbook Paradise with some new goodies last week and just had to sit down and play, within half an hour I'd made a little accordion book out of some delicious new pink paper from the Basic Grey new line "Sulty", it's such a gorgeous pink roughed around the edges with soft brown, well it goes absolutely gorgeous with the S.E.I. range Jolie Chocolat, and of course it has it's own die cut sheet. But now that I've got the book ready to play I'm stuck for a theme, I was thinking of little handbag book when I started but I kinda lost the "train of thought" as it were. Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted....I just want to play with this stuff LOL.
Work was horrendous yesterday (Mother's Day), we had a few tables booked for lunch, but a few of the house guests, who hadn't checked out), decided to eat too, the Restaurant Supervisor had let her wait person go early and so I ended up in there helping her.
New restaurant, different clientele, lack of staff, and I ended up doing 40 peeps on my own, she was trapped behind the coffee machine because lunch/brunch they all wanted coffee. Phew! I managed to get to the end of it, nearly lost it when one table complained because their 8yr old ordered the pancakes (with several modifications I might add), and then she burst into tears because the berry juice from the blue berries and raspberries had stained her pancakes! My God! Am I just a hard old bag who doesn't understand kids (don't have any) or was she just a little madam? Anyway the day ended and I resolved that even with days like that the new job is so worth it, because of all the different hours I work, with like this week< I have three days off together. I get to not work every night, and the pressure usually is nowhere as great.
MMMM life is always about taking the good with the bad eh?
Speaking of which off to hang out the washing.
