Thank you for your patience.

Basic Grey

thank you for the  emails - I'm sorry I am running late ...

Sold Out and what's coming

Our Inspiration is sold out :(

I have a couple of Obsession left

and a few more Addiction

i have received many emails about what else are we putting out this month- so without further ado ...

I have a limited edition class kit from Nic

The basic grey is  up for preorder tomorrow night at 5.00pm- cards will not be charged until we have notification of stock until we are 24 hrs off shipping - the due date for that is still mid august.
Some sneaks for you

Teckni color

and of course Our Inklination collection.

and yes our classes will be back on this month -sorry we had a little break last month - we have one canvas class and a layout class for you. Here is a sneak peek of Mels class

Our Very Special Limited Edition is still a little way off - sorry we didn't mean to build it up so soon and not deliver but really it will be worth the wait I promise - and we will have two options - an ezine for you and the actual collection so stay tuned for that.

To tide you over here are a few sneaks from gallery projects. I think I mentioned this earlier but we had a very very late arrival  of stock Suz had literally  one day to shoot before we went live and Gigi has only had her collection for 3 days so its a bit of a mad rush behind scenes here getting our projects together for you. Our Gallery will load on the 11th this month not the 8th like we usually do -this allowed the Designers a few extra days :)

phew I think thats everything for now...

Tuesday Night

We've really fallen into  the Tuesday night tradition now of something  a bit special for dinner and watching top model- we are on the the US version at the moment- - the girls look forward to it and I have to admit I do too - Tuesday is a no work till after the show is finished.
Tonight  I had meeting at the other  end of the coast and then a launch to attend - I knew I was going to be struggling to get home in time and make something good for dinner.
So Richard said he'd get take away and I could just do desert - Perfect -
We planned these yummy morsels - recipe courtesy of Mel- All I had to do was leave by 6.15 then id be home in time to stop and get the ingredients and be ready for top model.
Hmm at 7.25 when I was still sitting at Palm Beach - having moved - maybe 4 kms in just over an hour .. I knew it wasn't going to happen   A  concrete  truck had lost its load and the highway was carpark- I sat and sat. My blue tooth was flat and my  phone had 1 bar of charge left on it - and i had a warning light for petrol- I managed to get though to let Richard know where i was.
The best laid plans.
Richard did manage to sneak out and get the ingredients - he left the girls at the neighbors for 10 minutes
When I got home at 8.00pm they were both cuddled up on a chair together glued to the tv - They looked up to say I was late and I was missing the makeovers - and quick I have to watch - we made dessert in the ads.

No photos - no time.

Great zert - u must try it.

Hope your night has been smoother than mine

Time to start creating - our gallery is only 6 days away.

Mish mash

of things...

If you haven't already signed up for the class Kim is running over on her site - head on over - It's awesome really - can't wait to share some of my sneaks with you

In my new job I'm on the road alot between meetings running all over  the place - today I had a health forum down at Robina - really cool things about to happen for students interested in the health field- but even more cool I arrived early so had time to go to the bookstore - to get breaking dawn ...aggggggghhhhh doesn't arrive till 12.00pm  what ??? so I headed back there once the forum was over to grab a copy only to find out that if you haven't preordered you can't have one
what the ?? I texted Ngaire complaining loudly LOL and then sent another mad text to someone else to grab me one form another store - which they did so now in possession in Breaking Dawn -  wow its thick! I am avoiding all the spoilers that are popping up everywhere and I am going to go to bed early do I can read for an hour or two :) or three...

I love blog lines - seriously I have only been using it for about 3 months but it has changed my  blog surfing ..If your not doing it I recommend it highly - you get to see so many great things super quickly...
