Hello friends
WHOOSH!
That's me stopping by with a quick hello because suddenly time seems to be on fast forward!
I am venturing over the 'pond' very soon...
yes, it is my trip to Arizona to spend time with Spellbinders!
It has come around so quickly and I'm dashing around making sure I've got everything organised.
I am nervous at leaving Elliott but thankful to my parents who are going to be
looking after him. With gizmos and gadgets we can keep in touch and chat
each day so all should be well.
Mitchell will be dealing with any orders while I'm away so hopefully everything
will run smoothly - in fact they might not need me back!
I think once I am at the airport it will sink in that I'm really going.
I cannot wait to catch up with everyone at Spellbinders and meet the new team and staff.
I do have to pinch myself on a regular basis!
Talking of those boys - here they are again!
I've featured them on a scrapbook page that appears in this month's edition of
Scrapook Magazine.
A useful page if you do not like straight lines!
I've used various die templates including Classic Scallop Edgeabilities,
You Are Here and That's The Ticket.
The papers are KaiserCraft - Elegance. I love the teal mixed with the gold.

I have decided to draw the Mystery Prize upon my return because I intend to go
craft shopping while I'm away and I want to add some special goodies!
I will be scheduling some posts and attempting to blog remotely so please stop by.
Take care friends.

Hi Christine
I really like the scrapbook page with the picture of your boys. I have never done a scrapbook page but have thought of trying to make one. I just might have ago.
Have a safe trip, I'm sure Elliott will be fine with your parents, so try not to worry, just enjoy the break (even though it's a working break). As the saying goes "A change is as good as a rest".
Take Care Sally xx
Have a great time, Christine.
Hi Christine,
You lucky girl, I hope you enjoy your trip and bring back lots of new crafting goodies.
Love Chris X
A wonderful layout Christine, love the teal and gold combo! Have a wonderful time in Arizona, can't believe its a year since you last went! Elliott will be fine with your parents and I am sure they will pamper him silly! You certainly deserve a treat after what you have been through and I am sure this will do you the world of good!

Have a fun time in hot, hot, hot arizona. Page is great, boys have wonderful smiles. Xxx
Great family pic Christine. Have a super time at Spellies HQ, and come back with lots of ideas and goodies.
What a lovely page Christine! Teal is a fave of mine. Hope you have an amazing time with the Spellbinders team. Elliott will be fine. How can he not be with all of us thinking good thoughts for him? Mitchell will do an excellent job and you should 'have a blast' as they say over there, apparently.

Hi Christine, such a lovely scrapbook page, however I would have it framed on put up on my wall, its so lovely. I hope you have a great time with your other family over the water, and after all you have been through , its time for a little "me" time.

Christine, the sentiment on the page says it all. I think that with all our busy lives we sometimes overlook what is the most important part of our lives... OUR LOVED ONES. Have a good trip and try to relax and not worry about what is going on back home. Tell your mum that she has our support and that she will be fine with Elliott. All the best Janice xx
Hi Christine
A really lovely scrapbook page, a great photo too. I don't have 'straight eyes' I'm afraid, so it would be a good lay out for me too. Thanks for the inspiration. Have a great time in Arizona, don't forget the sum cream!!
Hello. Have an amazing time and the boys will be glad you're having time to yourself for a bit. Hope it's cooled down a bit in Arizona although we've been having their temperatures here. We'll look forward to having you back again. xxMargaretxx
Lovely page. Really like the colours.
Have fun in USA. Always enjoy watching your demo's so no doubt you will get lots more ideas for us.

Hope you have a very enjoyable trip to Arizona....it will be HOT!!! I'm sure your parents will do an excellent job while you are away. Look forward to seeing some pics when you get back I was in Arizona about 5 years ago....a lot of tall cacti. Enjoy the break you deserve it.
hi Christine
I really like the scrapbook page that you have done today. Hope you have a lovely time in America. Try not to worry to much about the boys. Your parents will do a grand job of looking after them for you. Try to have some me time while you are away.
Fab layout Christine..;have a great time in Arizona, assured that your parents will be looking after your boys & Bella! Hugs Carole Z xx
Have a lovely time, you've earned it, Love Carol xx
Great layout Christine,
have a great time in Arizona - it's just what you need. And whilst I'm sure you'll still worry, you'll find great reassurance in being able to chat to them and your parents who I am sure will look after your treasures as if they were their own (which they are, of course, just a generation away).
Bes wishes, Rose
Have a fab time in Phoenix. Comeback with lots of goodies and ideas for new workshops. Love the scrapbook page and that through all that he's going through at the moment I don't think that I've seen a picture of Elliott without a big smile on his face. Can't wait to see the pictures of USA. Ju
Hi Christine. Love the colours you have used, a lovely page. Safe journey. Take care.
Hi Christine, love the page :) Enjoy your trip. Look forward to seeing your goodies when you get back :) xxx
