"Hi, Lisa. My name is Dan Koch and I'm the Executive Editor of Scrapbook News and Review Magazine. I know this will come out of left field, but we have spent a great deal of time getting to know your work either through submissions to our magazine, a blog or a public gallery. I'm contacting you because we would to extend the offer of a staffer position. We don't usually make such an offer without knowing you backwards and forwards, but we feel like if we don't say something, we'll be missing out on an incredible opportunity.







If this is something you'd like to explore, please contact me at your earliest convenience and I will provide you with more details. "

I  chose to do a layout  of a  beautiful friend - Sherryl- we both have 3  boys and the more time we spend together  the more  we  find we have in common!!!  We did a cool  road trip to Toowoomba    earlier this year and laughed  the whole  way.  Love ya Shezzy!!!!

In the meantime - have a  great weekend!  WE WILL!!!!!

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Have I ever  neglected my blog   for  so long?   I think not.   The Merry Go Round is going faster and faster and its getting hard to  jump off ....or even  slow down.  My inlaws have been with us for the past week, Shane  finished his  third year medical exams   last week, the kids have  had  school  concerts,  community  classroom days, swimming and    discos   so  I have  been  MEGA  busy  with kid stuff.  IN  addition - my LSS   is  closing  down and they have had a  HUGE   50 %   sale so I have  actually been working full time for a few days  so life has been nuts.  I have   barely  scrapped a  zac -  so what does that tell you!!! 

Next week my Mum and Dad arrive, the kids  finish school,  I have to finalise Christmas   STUFF  - you know  what I mean!!  and  also  start to get ready for  our holiday!  MAD!!!!!!!

SO I  will   endeavour to pop  back soon  with some interesting  things  i have done.    Oh I know - I am teaching  at Leannes on Saturday night - three layouts and maybe  a card  if we have time........I will pop them  up here  closer to  the  class!!!

AND I still have to draw my RAK   winner!!!!!

Wahoo- check this out.....

Tan asked me to   do a  guest   design  team spot  when I saw her at the  Scrap n chat  retreat a few weeks ago.   I  got some  cool papers and  just perfect for some boy layouts.  So over the coming weeks  Tan will be  showing some  of my cards and layouts  .  Here is the first

I did a cute little layout of my son when he was  much  younger and the little  bicycle  slides along  the bottom of the page.  I am thinking I was  inspired by my  clever   friend   Emma who does  awesome  interactive pages!!!

Cool huh!!!!

AND  dont forget  - when I get to  150  followers I am drawing a  cool RAK  winner  so   ONLY  ONE MORE TO GO  so   spread the  word!!!!
