I know, I know.... I just blogged twice in one day. But there was a technical fault (which I still haven't figured out), that forbade me to upload a very precious photo in my last post. So I'll post it here. Remember how I said, the kids will have as much fun with the box their toys came in as they would with the toy?

I rest my case.

Ruey and I met with Shirley (Ishirlz), and Jane Fitchett on Sunday. We had a fabulous shopping time at Paper Squared (Paper2) which is the BIGGEST scrapbook store we have seen by far and they are situated in Mornington, a seaside town 1 hour from Melbourne city, and that is 1.5 hours from me. Ruey and I chalked up enough dollars to get a loyalty card for a 10% off our next purchase. SHOCKING! But we bought the loveliest stuff....

Then we went to lunch at a little cafe, where we exchanged scrapbooking albums and looked at each other's wonderful work. I swear, none of those photos you see online did justice to the real piece of work. These ladies are freakishly talented and creative. Since Shirley posted a photo without herself, I'll post one with her in it. Just ignoring the fugly canvas of the sail ship, Shirley is too petite, too cute (believe me, petite she is, Jane and Ruey have bent their knees in that pic... LOL!).. I mean look at the 2 pony tails!! Aren't they just cute??

Anyways... I told Ruey, I HAVE to have a crop with these wonderful ladies. Just to be working next to them, see how they transform photos into beautiful layouts, and how their minds work, would be a treat. Besides, I am on a shopping ban now (for 1 week) .... soon after I preorder my Technique Tuesdays stamps and tiles .... I have to scrap. I said, everytime I think I want to shop, I will scrap a page. Geez... this would be a very productive week! Bwahahaha....

ooops... I better go scrap a page now...
