tidy up time
Just spent all day tidying up my craft room cupboards and getting things a bit more organised. Amazing how many things I found that I had been looking for or forgotten I had!! I think it pays to have a good sort out once in a while, and as I have such a busy week next week I thought it was a good time to do it. Time for a hot choc break and then come back and finish off.

What
a great weekend we had at Wellington Paper Arts!! Lovely craft stalls, lovely
people!! Congrats to those of you who now have a Cricut buzzing away at your
house. I finally got my voice back after
so much talking!
I
am looking at holding a ‘Cricut day” in Wellington soon, so if you have a
Cricut and are in the Wellington area keep watch for when that will be – soon I
hope!!
As
some of you will have seen Three Little Whimzee’s have finally moved into their
lovely new premises at 50 Devonport Road in Tauranga. If you are not near Tauranga
do check out their website (3littlewhimzee.nz) with the lovely items they have
for sale. Also Cricut supplies. Flo has been cutting like crazy for them and
things are looking really lovely. Congratulation to Juliet and Dion, hope you
do well and prosper in the new premises.
STOP PRESS STOP PRESS: oh no! I have just heard Dion and Juliet had their
truck broken into and heaps of their lovely stuff has been stolen!! What a
horrible thing to happen – however they are on to it and will be up and running
again by Friday 2nd. Lets
hope that the people who did this get caught!!!
Back in the Manawatu – we have had a couple of ‘cricut days’ and are
looking forward to having them at least once a month on a regular basis. Will let everyone know when we have sorted
the dates. I would like these sessions to be for very new to very experienced
people. The idea is to share ideas and knowledge with each other. For those new
to Cricut I would like to be able to have some one-on-one time. If you are interested please let me know so I
can make sure you are kept informed.
Our Card Class Dates for September are:
Tuesday 13th 10.30am
Wednesday 14th 6.45pm
Thursday 15th 1.30pm and 6.45pm
Saturday 17th 10.30 am and 1.30pm
Dare
I say…. It will only be 14 weeks to
Christmas!!! I know that some of you are getting started with Christmas cards
and decorations, especially those that need to be posted overseas. The days do
seem to go by quickly and I often sit here and wonder ‘what happened to 2016”
It seems to have flown by!!
I
decided in all the busy-ness that I needed a ‘time out’ so a couple of weeks
ago I went to see Poi E the movie – I found it very informative, a lovely movie
to watch, and SO enjoyed the music. Then earlier this week I went and saw
Shallows – the one about the shark!! If you enjoy surfing and swimming in the
sea it is probably not the movie you want to see (ha ha) – however I did enjoy
it. I was pleased that I went during the day as I do not think that I would
have slept well if I had gone at night!! And having a surfing grandson – well I
wont think about that!!
Young
Zak came and spent the weekend with us and wanted to do ‘something on the
Cricut’ – so this is what he made… He choose what to make and what to put on
it…a box with ‘happy father’s day’ on it for his dad. He used my Cricut very well!! Naturally we had to fill box with lollies!
I am trying to keep my blog
up to date – so you may like to follow my blog on madgescreations.blogspot.co.nz
I know that some of you have
been unwell, especially with the cold and wind that we have had here. I do hope
that you are all starting to feel heaps better as we head into the nicer
weather.
Remember, come to card class
for two consecutive months and go in the draw for a goodie bag.
Happy crafting,
Madge
