**Wednesday Winners** HAPPY BIRTHDAY edition

to my Mum!!  6 July is her magic day (yesterday in NZ). 

We skyped with her last night and it was a lot of fun all of us singing Happy Birthday to her across the miles.  She will be here in a couple of weeks (with my Dad) so all her pressies were for goodies and yummies when she gets here.   We have lined up facials, mani-pedis, trips to favourite restaurants and a 3 day escape to Napa!

One of the most magical places she ever visited was Greece (no this photo was taken somewhere in NZ not Greece)  so in honour of that - I am giving away some of 7gypsies Mykonos line.  This line is so bright and cheery it will work for all and any vacation photos!
First up - the 6x6 paper pad - and to go with that a set of the book covers so you can make a mini album about whatever you please!

Of course you will need titles etc - so you better have a set of the chipboard letters to go with this all!

I love this line from 7g.   It strays a little from their normal - but is perfect for summer, vacation, cruises etc etc.   Just look at this gorgeous mini album a clever gypsy made!  I am sure you all have holiday photos that need to be scrapped from this year, last year or any year - so get the comments rolling in!

 

 

Speaking of 7gypsies - I attended the webinar this morning of their new releases - and can I just say - once again they do not disappoint!!  

New goodies will start arriving in the store this month - with more in August and September.

... the Store

is getting there... slowly but surely.   Waiting for a few deliveries of shop fittings and I need to get a proper sign made - that is on today's list!

Hopefully after this weekends retreat I can get it finished and ready to go finally - with a tentative opening weekend in early June!   Here are a few sneaky peeky pics!

 

 

Making Memories

introduced their new Bravissimo line... the jury is still out on this one.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM Maya Road goodiness

they have some fantastic new trims - including this zipper one - it is so cool!

the new JUMBO bottlecaps

 

 

Some fun photos

The wonderful folks at Kaisercraft - even though they are Australian ;-).   It was so nice to be able to chatter away at normal NZ speed and be understood - we had a lot of laughs.   The one on the left there - he is half right - cos his Mum is a kiwi :-D

 

The yummy new Smooch colours!!

 

Terri has been working out!!

On the way out of town I stopped at the New Zealand Icecream shop - and bought 8 pints and 2 quarts of all the different flavours.  

Put them in the icechest with 3 blocks of ice and they made it all the way home intact - I had some very happy peeps here at home!

WARNING: this post is Graphic!!.... Graphic 45 that is

I am still running around trying to get things done - but thought I would quickly post some more photos .. this time from the Graphic 45 booth!  As usual it was beautifully done - I had to fight the temptation to sneak them into my bag!

 

This next layout I just adore!

Some lucky store won a lot of the samples from the booth each day - ALAS it was not me!!

 

ok .. I need to go and do some more work now!!
