Also...

KTM has almost come to an end but we still have quite a few items left at 50% off and kits at 20-30% off. We will be closing at the end of the month. Thanks to everyone for their well wishes over the last week or so.

Now I will have more time to scrap for me and I look forward to being able to enter other people's challenges etc as I wasn't able to before. Alot of the girls from KTM have found a new home at Scrap Therapy so if you want to catch up or are looking for a place to hang out Lee-anne and the other girls have made us feel really welcome.

It's Official...

I am closing down KTM. After a long decision making process and lots of back and forth and sadness I have decided closing is the best thing. With my new job taking up most of my days and wanting my nights and weekends for my family and myself I just didn't have the time to commit fully to it. It wouldn't be fair to everyone if I only put half of myself into it. I think is the best thing for me. I have made lots of life long friends and even met family on the way. The biggest thing I will miss is the people and the daily interaction with them, people from all over the globe.

We are having a big sale so get in quick as it is all selling fast. First in first served.

I went around one of those dear friends today that started as a customer and she gave me the most beautiful gift. Handmade by her which means alot and a card with the most beautiful words in it. It took alot of strength not to ball my eyes out.

I want to thank all my customers and DT members that have contributed so much, especially Nic, without her I don't think I would have lasted as long as I did. She offered her great creative mind, time, love and much more to the running of the site as well as my personal life. She has been a rock and I hope I can only repay her one day. She is another that started off as a friend and turned out to be family, out of everything that was the biggest pay off. Through her I have also met Tess who is the lovliest person. I have got to know others south aussies personally through email as well as interstaters and got to share personal stuff that you sometimes can't talk to about with other people. It is great to know that there is people out there that trust you enough to share their problems and joy.

I have rambled enough and I hope I have covered everything I wanted to. I will always be here if anyone wants to chat privately or openly or just to share our creative sides.

Thanks xx

Here is a pic of the lovely gift Kerryn gave me today.

Toni Needs...

I saw this on Nic's blog and thought I would give it a try. Just type in your name then needs in your favourite search engine and see what comes up.

Here are my first 10:

1.Toni needs Surgery and a new club(now that's true of the plastic kind lol)

2.Toni needs careful daily monitoring.(no way, you can trust me)

3.Toni needs luck to prove doubters wrong.( I no I need luck lol)

4.Toni needs some coffee as a late birthday present.(Make that iced)

5.Toni needs a strike partner.(I think they are talking soccer)

6. Toni needs to go and find some food.(lol I am always looking for food)

7. Toni needs to come up with a better colour for dark auburn hair.(What the!)

8. Toni needs to do a live concert DVD.(Don't think anyone would buy it though lol.)

9. Toni needs to have a record label.(Have you heard me sing, Oh my god)

10. Toni needs more time to recover from whatever ailment bothers her.(Now that list is going to be long lol)

That was quite interesting actually. Some others were:

Toni needs to got to Nassau and do the feeding scuba with the reef sharks. I don't think so.

Toni needs to become something to keep some type of income coming in. Now aint that the truth.lol

Toni needs to re-work her hair 'light brown' colour. Whos going to pay for that?

I could go on and on. Thanks Nic.

Have done a bit of scrapping. I did manage to finish all layouts for the CC, very proud of myself. I have also done some others but can't show yet. Will have to wait to next month over at Puzzle Sketches. Here are the CC challenges.

We have also released a range of new kits over at KTM. These range in different prices and styles. Why not go over and check them out. They are already quite popular. These kits include our most recent celebrity scrapper kit designed by 'Amanda Hall' this is a beautiful kit for only $14.95. There isn't many left so be quick.

That will do for today.

Happy Scrapping

I have returned...

Once again I have been a bad blogger. I just don't seem to have enough hours in the day to get anything done. My house is a shambles, I haven't scrapped much and I still haven't finished my tax.

There is some exciting news though. Nic my DT and creative mind over at KTM has come up with the most unique, cool challenge blog. It is called 'Puzzle Sketches', I will be contributing in the way of examples and sponsorship. Go check it out and get involved. There will be great prizes and it seems to big a big hit already. August challenge is already up.

Over at KTM we are changing also. We are making the change to a 'Kit Klub' We want to offer a varitety of kits starting at a low $9.95 up to who knows where? Kits are a great way to use a range of different products without having to buy a whole pack of something you will probably never use all of. We will co-ordinate these in different styles so you have a good range of choices. We will still bring you our monthly kits each month to showcase new products but also kits of older stock that you might have never thought of using. This transition will be starting soon, so keep your eye out.

Our new August 'Sierra' kit is out now and full of warmth. Go to our gallery to check out examples that Nic created. Here is a picture of the kit and it is a low $29.95 this month.

I did a couple of scrapping projects recently, more for challenges which didn't happen in the end. A mini album about me, no pics just journalling about things that have happened so far this year. I can add to it as the year goes on. The other is a layout I did for one of our KTM challenges for July. It is pics my son took of himself when he went to China earlier in the year. I just had to use that title.

We had a CC last weekend and I have all intentions of doing all the challenges, cutting it fine, I will get started on Friday night at our regular crop night and finish on weekend as I have it all to myself.YAY! This includes a layout sample for puzzle sketches. You can still enter our CC challenges you have until Sunday night. Check out our forum for details.

Stay warm

Happy Scrapping
