A fruitful weekend

I spent this weekend scrapping in more ways than one!

On Friday it was spent browsing the net and just catching up with this and that (ie I can't really remember!)

Saturday my maid was scheduled to return from holiday... and she didn't!  She ended up with flu and so cancelled coming in... I did housework all morning... so if it snows in Jhb soon you'll know why!  In the afternoon a friend from church and her daughter came for the afternoon... while our two kids played I helped Maritha with her scrapping.... she has only been scrapping for about 6 months and her pages are very plain and some very incomplete... so it was really just added a few embellishments here and there and making the pages more complete.  It was really a very fulfilling afternoon emparting knowledge... I loved it!

Once Maritha left I dived in and stuck some photos down on a page... you know that you just have to stick at least one photo to say that you've been scrapping properly.... hehehe.  I did the journalling on Sunday morning and bingo one unfinished project now complete!


During the afternoon on Sunday I tackled a kit page... I'd seen this kit often at Scrapbook 'n Things and when they had their 50% off sale in December I just dived in and bought it... had the perfect photos too so I had tons of fun completing it.



After this one I just had to get my hands on something more so pulled out another unfinished project... this time one from last year's convention... and hey presto it was done!



After Aaron was in bed last night I started tackling the Off-the-page item from this class too... am making a sort of birthday calendar and am nearly finished it but you'll have to wait to see it.

And then Monday morning arrived and we're back to work! ouch!!! I'd must rather be scrapping!
