Everything changes

I guess the theme of my life for 2010 is CHANGE. So many things in my life have changed this year so far, and it’s only April!

Here’s the latest amendment to my life:

My new house is finally all sorted, and I’ve actually been able to have a bit of time for ME! I’ve been scrapbooking and snapping pics all week, but my darned laptop is NOT well. It somehow contracted a virus last week, despite the 9000 anti-virus programmes my paranoid hubby has installed, and now it’s been mostly fixed, but my graphics card is not working.

Needless to say, blogging has just not been possible! Everything on my screen is various shades of green, and so editing photos is off the agenda for a few more days until the problem is resolved! See you soon

MIA!

Yes, I know I’ve disappeared off the face of the planet! I’m moving house this week so let’s just say things are a bit busy around here. I’ll be offline for a couple more weeks as apparently in my new area it takes twice as long to get broadband set up as it does in the rest of the country!

In the meantime, don’t forget to check out Sketchy Thursdays every Thursday for inspiration and the chance to win some fab prizes! The Studio also has new weekly challenges posted on a Sunday, so don’t miss them!

See ya soon xxx

A little secret, and a sketch!

Yes, I have a little secret. I’m not going to share it just yet though :-p (if you already know…shhh!)

This isn’t a secret:

Well, not any more, anyway! You can play along with this sketch at Sketchy Thursdays right now! You have until Wed., Jan. 20th, 10 p.m. (EST) to post your entry to Mr Linky on theb Sketchy Thursdays blog to be eligible to win this awesome prize!

This week’s sponsor is Sweet Scrap Deal, and Charlene has offered up the October Store Kit from Unity Stamp Co, {wonderful…you}. There are some great images in this set!

I’ll leave you with this:

The page I created for the sketch. Be sure to check out the other fabulously inspiring pages from the rest of the DT! Can’t wait to see your entries!

A short week!

I can’t believe this week is coming to an end already! I guess having a couple of days in due to snow throws you out of whack.

Have you seen my little snowman?

This is the first time he’s seen this much snow last for this long. The snow we had last Feb was almost as deep as this but gone in a couple of days. Last year he was purely excited about it. This time, you can tell he is older and perhaps a little wiser as he’s starting to be more concerned about people being safe in the snow. He had a mini panic attack when Daddy took his car to the shops instead of mine, as it doesn’t handle the snow very well!

So, what do you do when you’re snowed in? Ummm, duh! Scrapbook! Here’s a sketch from Sketchy Thursdays to get you through a few hours!

You have until 10 p.m. (EST) on Wed. 1/13 to link up your entry to Mr. Linky in the left sidebar of the Sketchy Thursdays blog. Here is my take on it:

The challenge is being sponsored by Kelly from Keep In Touch who has GENEROUSLY donated two kits for one lucky winner this week. Here are some peeks at what is in each kit, but I SERIOUSLY suggest you click on the images/links to the kits and see what Kelly has in her shop. SERIOUSLY!!
