Day off! Yah!

Labour Day Monday and I've got the day off, very cool indeed. Got up early this morning cos today I'm going to make five Christmas cards for the Scrapboxnz October swap,...( no I haven't started yet), had this idea I wanted to use Penny Black Hedgie stamps but when I went Paperworx yesterday all the Hedgehog ones were snowy and well the sun shines here at Christmas..well doesn't it? LOL. Anyway there was this Penny Black clear stamp set and it just had to come home with me, all the old PB favs but clear soooo well anyway I'm using those for my cards, cool.
Been busy at work the last couple of nights, even though house numbers were low, we got a lot of guests from surrounding motels dining, cool fun like a real restaurant. I know that sounds dumb but people don't treat "hotel restaurants" like "real restaurants" for some reason but this one really is.... could be why I love it.
Anyway back to the day off, or more to the point, this time next week we will be on the road to Christchurch..... oh yay that came around fast. I've told the girls I want to be on the road by 7am and in Christchurch by lunch. We will have to stop at Fleur's Place in Moeraki for brekkie of course, that place is awesome, and Fleur is one of my "restaurant heroes". Been to hell and back but still has an amazing attitude and gorgeous restaurant.
Anyway enough about food I'm off to play. It's going to be a Cuttlebug, Nestabilities, Penny Black kinda day, that's my forecast anyway.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Labour Day and finds time to PLAY.
Later

Spring is back

Definitely feels like spring again yah! Well a busy weekend, looked after the shop (Scrapbook Paradise) Friday Saturday then helped at the Craft Show Sat afternoon and Sunday. Had fun on Sunday, just was in the right mood to chat to people about scrapping, stamping etc and really had a ball. But I still haven't made it to my table, although I'm feeling better my energy levels are really low so I can cope doing what I have to do but the rest of the time I just want to sit and do nothing. This is really bugging me cos I seem to have so many new bits and pieces that I haven't even touched and I really want to play with. However it's my day off tomorrow so maybe I'll get to it. I really want to make a little book for my cousin who become a Grandmother last week so that might be a good starting point. Have finished my cards for the Scrapboxnz card swap so I'm happy about that. There is exciting news in this area too Carol is organising a Scrap Camp for April next year and Julia from Scrapboxnz is going to sponsor it, how cool is that going to be? A whole weekend away just to scrap, laugh, gossip and share ideas... mmm I'm definitely keen. So if you are in the lower South Island and keen let me know and I'll give you Carol's email address.
Well the washing machine has beeped so better go. Oh and the other thing I really must do is make a new header for my blog, I really don't like like the title on this one. I read somewhere the dimensions for doing one in "real stuff" (not digital) and then scanning it and uploading so that's something else I want to try.
Anyway off into the sunshine to hang out the washing.
