Congratulations Besty!

Well its been a couple of months since she told me, but one of my best friends - Sarah - is engaged - and rather than just making a card to mark the occasion I wanted to do something a little special for Sarah & Hywel (that's pronounced HOWELL to us Kiwi's) so I have decorated up this box to make a wedding planning / keepsakes box...On the front of the box I have put a pic of them together - but this is hidden by a piece of Vellum (just in case they didn't want to become world famous on my Blog) prettied up with Hearts from the Always set in the Mini...it reminded me of the way wedding albums always had tissue or vellum between the pages. I will be catching up with her this weekend while I am at SENZ - hopefully she doesn't see this before I give it to her! Inside I have covered a book using more Summer Picnic paper - (this is possibly my favourite designer paper out at the moment - loving the cherries!!) so she can jot down all her ideas for the wedding...complete with a special pen - also decorated with summer picnic, and as a little idea for table settings - a wee gift box with some chocky treats inside....I couldn't get hold of sugared almonds :) Anyway - if you are interested in decorating a box, get in touch with me as I am going to run a class as soon as I have some numbers.

OK - When you're on a roll you should go with it right??

Now, I really should be heading to bed soon - on account of it being stinky daylight savings changeover and I am already an hour sleep deprived from last night - but I just had to show this off....

Coming soon to anyone who wants to attend the class - we are going to decorate up some boxes - this is just a tiny version I tried to practice - I will post the real McCoy just as soon as I get a chance to do the sample.....hmm - sometime between workshops, work, SENZ and meetings for Stamp Camp - I promise you won't have to wait toooo long!  I still have the details to work out, but watch this space!

A Year in a Day - 6" x 6" Scrapbooking Day!

Hi there! Who would like to come and get a whole scrapbook of work done in just one day? Maybe get someone special's christmas pressie sorted nice and early?

Maybe you would like to scrapbook but either don't have the time, or don't know where to start, then this class is for you.

You will make a 2-page spread for each month and go home with a completed album ready for you to just stick your photos in and it's done! How about that - a whole scrapbook completed in just 1 day?

Date: 15th November, 2008

Time: To be advised

Cost: $45 for first set of pages, $40 each for second set (cost includes everything to create the pages, it does not include an album. Albums can be purchased prior to class through me if you wish)

Location: To be advised

You will complete 25, 6" x 6" pages, more than enough to fill a complete album in one day! During the day you will complete a title page, and a double-page spread for each month from January to December. Then all you will have to do is stick your photos in when you get home or wrap it to give as a gift. It's so super easy you will wonder why you haven't done this before!

E-mail me at mel.aidan@xtra.co.nz , or call me on (06) 753-2728 to secure your spot.

Keep watching this space for more info and sneak previews of somew of the pages!

STAMP CAMP - FEBRUARY 2009

You asked for it, so we're giving it to you!

We have 7 demonstrators who are working together to give you an incredible stamp camp in February 2009 here in Taranaki.
You will enjoy a full weekend away from kids and husbands to focus on our obsession - stamping and scrapping!!

Cost: $200 for stay-in stampers (or $150 for day-stampers)

Date: Evening of Friday, February 14 to afternoon of Sunday, February 16th

The $200 cost includes all food, accommodation, and 6 incredible classes where you will learn all sorts of new things!! ($150 includes everything except accommodation, breakfast, and supper)
Come and join us - you can bring a friend, or make one at camp, it's totally up to you! Us 'Naki girls are a really friendly bunch that like to meet new people and make new friends, so drive up or down from wherever you live and meet some new people, learn some new things, and stamp till you can't see straight!

ONE SMALL "PROBLEM"
The only thing is that right now I have only been allocated 10 places for all my customers (there may be more spaces if other demos can't fill their places, but from what I'm hearing, things are filling up fast!), so I'm a little worried about people missing out who want to come, so make sure you get your $50 deposit to me asap so that I can register you.

Contact me quickly - ph 753-2728 (hm after 5.30pm or leave a message with the lovely man on the answer phone) OR text / call my mobile - 027 24 24 210 OR email me - mel.aidan@xtra.co.nz
