Soo Soo bad

Well I don’t even really know where to start with this post.  I have been gone from my blog so long that I have no idea whether there is anyone out there still visiting.  I can’t believe the last time I posted was in July.  To be fair though, i can’t believe its now October.  This year has just ZOOMED!  We have had the busiest few months.  In the past few months we sold our house, packed up our house, went overseas to Rarotonga, came home, moved the next weekend, unpacked, and then the next weekend I had my scrapbooking retreat.  And in the midst of that we have had the boys sports, my work and Mark’s work.  Things have just been totally crazy!!

 

But that is all over now and things have settled down and I am planning much quieter months leading up to Christmas, which will hopefully leave me a bit more time to update this thing.

 

We have moved into a rental property for a bit as we have bought some land that we are going to develop and then build, so that is going to be our focus for a while,  its pretty exciting actually. 

 

Poor Scrapbook Outlet has been a bit neglected by me these last couple of months.  I have been getting my layouts out, but these past weeks we haven't even had an internet connection here in the house, so that has been a real bummer!!  We are just now finishing up our big Celebrate NZ competition that has been running the last couple of months which is exciting.  It will be exciting to see who wins the 3 Slices up for grabs. 

 

And I have been scrapbooking when I can.  I actually am scrapbooking more now as I now have my craft table back in the lounge which is what I like so you should start to see more from me again.  The last few months I have been working with various Basic Grey ranges.  The lastest is the Basic Grey wander range.  I have used it for non travel pages though:

 

Scuba Lesson

 

 Skating Rocks

 

  Skating Rocks 3 

 

Skating Rocks 2

 

Then last month I used the Basic Grey Oliver range, which I loved, a really fun range to use:

 

Find the Fish

 

 Love those Moments

 

 

 

Disney on Ice

 

 

 

So that has you caught up with a few of my layouts anyway.  For the rest you can check out my gallery at Scrapbook Outlet., and I will try not to be so slack from now on :o)
