Man I hate the cold......

....and boy is it getting cold here in the land of Down Under!! I had to go out and buy everyone new flanellette PJ's the other day...a sure sign that winter is on it's way *sigh*. The heater is just about running full ball, and the clothes dryer is definately getting a work out.... more because I'm too much of a woos to go out in the cold to hang the washing, than the fact it wouldn't dry. LOL

Well as the weather cools down here, May means it is warming up for all my friends in the Northern Hemisphere. May also means a whole bunch of new things happening in the scrapping world!
This weekend is National (can we say inter-national??? lol) Scrapbooking day, and what better way to celebrate, than with a sale?? (of course!! ) Head on over to my DSO store where yo will find 40% OFF everything....yep EVERYTHING, including commercial use items May 3rd and 4th! Infact, I think most of the DSO designer's have thrown all their stuff on sale in celebration of this special weekend... you should go check it out!

These kits will be available in the Digital Freebies store for the entire month of May.

Oh What a Beautiful Morning......

oh what a Beautiful Day!! Isn't that how the song goes? LOL. Well it isn't actually a beautiful day here at all today...it's raining. But we so badly need the rain so I shouldn't complain.
I woke up to the most amazing sight this morning though. I've opened my eyes and there is this weird kind of orange glow coming in through the cracks in the curtians, I'm thinking "Oh my god!?!?! What an earth is that?!?!?!? (the last time I saw an orange glow like that, the whole city was on fire!) SO I've jumped out of bed and it was the weirdest sight! The sun was coming up in the east, but the light was reflecting on the rain clouds in the west, hence the orange glow. But onver on the hill was the most vivid rainbow I've ever seen!! By the time I ran around in the half dark trying to find my camera, it had faded a bit, but I did manage to get a couple of snapshots.....




Maybe it's a sign? Today is DH's b'day afterall!

Well it's my birthday this week too, and what better way to celebrate than with another sale? Head on over to my DSO store from the 13th - 16th April where you will find 35% OFF EVERYTHING!! Yep, everything, kits, templates, commercial items QP's and more!!
