Life is busy. Constantly busy with so many things going on. Sure keeps me on my toes. This week has been particularly busy. But its been nice to get a few things done that have been waiting a while. You know, like my hair.
I realised on Friday that I hadn't had it cut since my birthday. October last year! What the? No wonder I wasn't feeling particularly happy with it. LOL. So I made a quick call and managed to get in on Sat. Yeah. Was so nice! Came out feeling like a new woman. Unfortunately they couldn't do the colour at the same time, so I went back last night. But it was worth it. I took my 'homework' as my hairdresser likes to call it. My big black book where I write notes, journaling etc and filled two pages with ideas for pages to come. Was well worth it. Best part though was the glass of wine they give you! I so needed that after yesterday. LOL.
Here's why:
Yesterday I
- Painted the fence (second coat)
- Went to a meeting about Connect Cafe
- Had the gas guy here connecting the gas - he didn't clean up and left a coat of dust ALL over the kitchen. I was fuming!
- Cleaned up said dust
- Had a friend come over
- Matt flooded kitchen - had to clean up kitchen (again!)
- Got my hair coloured
- Placed an order with glamour girls (stamp shop - for some storage for my acrylic stamps!)
- Booked my spot at scrapcamp
So today, the kids are at daycare. THANK GOODNESS! And I'm organising my tissues/napkins for the napkin swap Chris is organising. I've had these for ages (used one of them on my Up2Scrap mini album - see it in the last issue), so that was good. Anyone who is keen, then come by Chris's blog to check it out, then send her an email. We need another 4 people, but if she gets more, who knows? She might just organise another! hehehe.
Speaking of Chris. Did you hear?!!!!! She's coming to NZ as a tutor for SCRAPCAMP! OMG!!!! I've been chatting to Chris for a while now and am so excited that I get to meet her in the flesh. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!! Can you tell I'm excited? Well, actually I'm gonna meet a heap of people I've chatted to lots online - so so excited. Just love that Yolande and Lianne organise such an amazing fun event.
And more exciting news for those scrappers out there....have you seen this new blog? Aussie pub calls. Its sooooo cool. Just like the American version, but for us Kiwis and Aussies. Yep, kiwis too. There are already a couple of kiwi sites there, and of course our very own Up2Scrap are listed too. What a fabulous idea! Good on Michelle and Alana for organising this! So if you're into scrap stuff, make your way over here and check out whats happening. Click on the calender and you'll get to see DT calls, mag submission details, events coming up, allsorts. And if you've got something to put in there, just send them an email. Easy peasy!
Well I think thats about it. Whew. I really do need to put up some pics to make it a bit more interesting, but have to go do stuff.
Have a great day!

Well mate, I'm tired just reading this!! LOL I'm sure you look totally glamourous now. How on earth did you last that long without a haircut? Mine looks feral way before that!!
See you tomorrow.

LOL Donna about having 'feral hair', nothing like a new doo to make you feel all glamourous again, and good on you for doing all that creative genius stuff while you were there too! I can't wait for scrapcamp either, it's going to be sooooo cool! :)

Just wanted to say congrats on the SBO top ten!! Go Trina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That haircut must have been fantastic. I can't believe it was that long since you'd had it cut last. It's the end of March for crying out loud. I hope you made a return appointment before you left.

OK so I'm feeling really yuk and rundown as it is and you make me feel even more tired. I had my hair done today too :) Because I've been full of the flue and a cold, I had rung up this morning to cancel, but my hairdresser (who works from home) was also full of a cold, so we didn't feel bad about infecting on another LOL
Posted by: Paula | March 29, 2007 at 10:35 PM
Yeah, I'm certainly going to try and get to scrapcamp again, I loved the last one!!

Must send you my napkins forthwith!
One of those weeks eh?
Cool new banner you've got there.
