Ok well after my week of being good and getting some scrapping done, QVC had a craft day - oops
I went a little bit mad and bought a few bits and pieces, and then my local craft shop got in some scrapbooking kits and it was too nice to pass up.
So I now have quite a few christmas stamps, page protectors, stickers, some 7 gypsies albums on the way, an 8x8 mini album waiting for pics and a new coluzzle cutting system.
That then set me off looking for other coluzzle templates as its so easy to use.
On the work front - big shock - we got a payrise at last! Enought that I will put off looking for another job for the time being and just try and get my life into some sort of routine.
Flylady here I come.

Summer Scrappin' Holiday
This week has been the latest UKScrappers cybercrop but with a slight change of pace.
Instead of the manic pace of a class or project every two hours over 2 days this time we had five days with one class, one challenge, one project and one game each day and instead of having teams and fighting for points we had four buses and all for fun. We had the choice of A-Z, Time, Holiday and Bom buses.
This helped most of us keep up a bit better this time and do layouts that actually fitted in our albums. Although I only manged four classes, one challenge and one project I still had a great week and scrapped lots of my holiday photos and tried some techniques I wouldnt have used other wise.
The classes, challenges and projects will stay up for sometime after the weekend so may still catch up and do some more layouts.

Survived the thunderstorms of the past few days and the torrential rain that definately brought the temperature down a bit. Still a bit muggy today but cooler than last week.
Tomorrow is the start of the UKScrappers cybercrop. Due to be a more relaxed time than previous cybercrops this one is over 5 days with a couple of classes and games a day with four themes or bus routes to help us work through some ongoing project or get a jumpstart on a new one. In order to get ready I have tidied my craft area and will go shopping for munchies later.

Thunder Storm Late Last Night
As i was finishing of on the computer last night about 1am i could hear the start of rumbles of thunder in the distance so I switched off and disconnected the pc from the mains and phone line got everything ready for bed and found my torch incase the power went. Then headed outside to watch the lightning :)
The main body of the storm hit around 1.30am and lightening was so bright it was like broad daylight at times and although the thunder was really loud and fierce it also stayed quite a distance away giving long gaps between the lightening strikes and the rolls of thunder.
Then eventually just before 2am the rain started and came on heavy so quicky that our back yard flooded in just a couple of minuets.
The real force of the storm skirted round us and was over by just after 2am but it did help clear the air a little at least till this morning.
I LOVE Thunder and Lightening :)

Too Hot!
I never thought i would say this in scotland but its getting too hot over here in bute, no wind, no sign of promised thunderstorms and our bosses have taken to buying us icepoles to keep us cool.
Tempers are starting to fray as the machine that dispenses chilled cans of juice is running low and no delivery due till middle of next week. I need to stock up at the supermarket and fill my fridge now!
Tidying my craft area was already going slowly then today I received 3 parcels of stuff for the cybercrop on ukscrappers next month and my desks a mess again. I will be organised for the cybercrop!

Just realised I can have more than one blog so decided this would be the place to put all the thoughts, ideas and lists that keep cluttering up my head.
Some will be ideas for scrapbooks or works in progess, some ideas of my ideal house layout and some dreams for the future and ideal use of money when my debts are cleared.
Right now I would love a tidy living room and some one to organise my craft stuff and catalogue what I already have. That can be this weeks project.
