Good News, Bad News...

Hey!

I hope you've all had a super duper weekend! I wish I could say that mine was full of lazing around, chilling and watching (and celebrating!) a spot of amazing cricket but instead it was stressful, hot and sweaty! Well I wouldn't expect anything else from moving to a new place! Thankfully we have a few weeks overlap to get things sorted but we (well to be honest, Chris) likes to jump in the deep end and get stuck in. After all, the quicker we work the sooner it's done!

Anyways about this post: I have some news that I'm kinda excited about but kinda sad about at the same time (though judging from some comments on my previous post a lot of you already know about it!). I'm really excited that I've been asked to join the A Passion For Papertrey Blog so I'll be able to contribute my PTI creations and also join in the excitement of setting challenges and giving prizes - yay! However I'm sad because my dear friend Steph is leaving the blog. Steph provides me with so much inspiration and I just love her humour, this gal has me giggling at the computer screen on many occasions! I know she has her own amazing blog to keep me inspired and giggling but she'll be sorely missed and I would like to point out that I certainly don't intend on 'replacing' her - to me, she's irreplaceable! I just hope I'll be able to help out my other dear friend Kate out by helping her to run the PTI blog a bit as it'd be a darn shame if it didn't continue!

So it all starts today for me! The new challenge over on our PTI blog (can I use the term 'our' now? Guess I can?!) is to produce a Clean and Simple (CAS) card using at least one PTI Product - easy peasy hey?! Here's my example:Yes, I know it's very simple but when you've got an impatient bf who wants to be sorting out other stuff rather than a card challenge you kinda have to rush a little! Anyways all the deets are over on our PTI blog so I'd really love it if you took a peek (Kate's example just rocks as always btw!) and I'd REALLY love it if you played along to join in the fun - you don't have to use all your PTI stash, just a tiny bit and there's a prize if you need more persuading!

Oh and speaking of PTI I've finally managed to make a decision on which stamp set to pick as my prize for the PTI August GSS Contenst! It was soooooo tough but I've finally decided on Friends 'Til the End - just love those sentiments and I can't wait to colour and paper piece those flowers! It was a toss up between this and Everyday Button Bits (I wanted to get a really fun set rather than functional set, but don't worry, those polka dot basics will be working their way into my collection soon!) but seeing as I know I'll end up with both anyways I wasn't too worried about picking one ;D (Well, I need lots more PTI buttons before I can play with the everyday set, including those delicious Pure Poppy ones *drool* LOL!)

Right then gotta dash, Chris has left me with the longest list of errands to run to get things sorted - I no longer feel I'm on my summer hols!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Catch ya later!
