Convention at Spier

So I thought I would finally get around to blogging about the scrapping convention at Spier three weeks ago. My mom and I went up and had a FABULOUS time! It was only one day this time, the two day one is in September - cant wait! We had two famous american teachers.


First up was Margie Romney-Aslett. We first did a double page layout using her absolutely stunning products. We used some new Ranger products which was pretty kewl. We used some of my new favourite products- doilies, crepe paper and tulle. Love it!

Then we did a beautiful single page layout. I've finished that one and its up in the shop. I will take a pic of it and post it next week for you all too see.

After that we made the most fabulously divine mini pennant album! So absolutely gorgeous! I havent finished that yet- surprise surprise, but I know exactly what pics im gonna use so hopefully i can do it this week.

Lunch time was absolutely fabulous - and im not just talking about the food:) Margie came and asked if she could come and sit with my mom and I. I was like "hell yeah" it was fabulous! She is such a down to earth person. No airs and graces. Just a simple beautiful girl. She really made my mom and I feel so proud. It was the best time ever, seeing as she is one of my idols. She is so super talented. I absolutely love everything she does! I must say there were quite a few jealous ladies at lunch that day:)

After lunch we had our Tim Holtz class. Now im not the biggest fan of his stuff - I love what he does, i just dont think i could do that everytime i scrap. We made an art journal. It was quite fun to do, but just super messy and I have a bit of ocd when it comes to dirty hands. I havent quite finished it but i will take some pics next week so ya'll can see.

All in all we had a fantastic time and I really cant wait for September when its the next convention:)

Wedding watch party

First up I need to apologise for being away for soooo long. First up we went to Cape Town for convention for a couple of days which was awesome, and then when we got home I ended up in bed, sick with bronchitas for almost two weeks! It really sucked. But Im now on the mend and I definately couldnt miss the event of the year. The Royal Wedding!

Been planning for ages for this. Was hoping to have my shop open but alas twas not to happen yet. We decided to decorate my shop up for it. Brought a tv to work and stayed up last last night making scones, cupcakes and sandwiches.

We had an absolute ball watching it today. We all dressed up smartly and we bought cheap plastic tiaras which we then decorated which was so much fun:) I loved watching it but was very disapointed in the kisses. Wish there had been more of an emotional one.

Anyway, first up, did u not just love her dress? I absolutely adored it! was so beautiful and elegent. Very much reminded me of Grace Kelly.
She looked absolutely stunning! So elegant. My bets were on that she wore a long lace sleeved dress and I was right:)
The second most beautiful girl there was her sister, Philippa Middleton. She wore an absolutely stunning dress, which I must say surprised me to be white aswell.

She could have been the bride in that beautiful dress:)

I also loved seeing Harry in the carriage with the little flowergirls. Was just too cute for words:)

Just look at that cheeky grin:)

Last but not least ......the kiss.....

And the second kiss.....

Lovely:)

I really wish we could have seen the receptions though. I cant wait to see some pics of that:)
Here are some pics of our wedding watch party:)

Ok so there u have it, hopefully I'll post some pics etc from our Cape Town trip and of our finished tiara's:)
Have a great evening:)

Love ya

Mummenschanz

On saturday my mom and I went to see this show. It was kinda weird, kinda brilliant and kinda boring all at the same time. What they did was brilliant. But there was no sound. Absolutely no sound. I kinda wanted to die at one point. There wasnt even music. I dunno, maybe im just not smart enough to appreciate that kind of "art"?
