diary of a scrap addict pt 2.

Hi back again and I am officially another year older, yesterday being my birthday.It began badly and steadily got worse. Every one in the family forgot my birthday except for Wendy and my friend Karen. To top it off I had password issues on everything. Also my computor wouldn't work properly. It was so slow that I became frustrated. The printer said it was out of ink and I knew it wasn't. The cat threw up on the carpet. The dog (who never barks normally) barked at everything that moved and some that didn't. My door bell gave up the ghost and I burst into tears of frustration while on the phone with a person who was trying to help me with my computor problems when nothing worked. Then Wendy turned up with a tub of Iceream from the junction icecreamery and everything was rosie again. Last night I ate icecream until I was full and I found that every thing was right with the world again. I made 2 new friends on challenge heaven and watched Rafters on the box while eating the icecream. Today I have already had a couple of phone calls of best wishes for my birthday although late it doesn't matter. Scrappy friend calling to take me out. Oh well there goes any hope of restoring order to the craft room. See you next time. Dee xxooxx

The diary of a scrapaddict.Page 1

Wow I can hardly believe it but I have finally created a blog. A bit about me, I am mad about scrapping and just about anything that starts with craft and ends with ing. I am sometimes consumed with scapbooking and when anyone see's me with a camera they groan.Not that this stops me. I plan one day to do an album of all the photo's where those who have pulled faces when I've taken the photo will find themselves in pride of place. I live with my dog Rosie and my cat Sophie. Although I have patiently explained to them time and time again that I am THE BOSS they just will not believe me. Oh well I can but try. I love living in western Australia and am loving summer. My other passion is gardening which sad to say is a little the worse for wear after last weeks mini tornado. At least we have a new topic to talk about out here in the comunity. I have comitted myself to do several new challenges for this month and am looking forward to finishing them. I must also scrap some of the pics from my childhood in Hong Kong as I have been collecting the papers for long enough. I once saw an album at spotlight that would have been perfect for it but unfortunately I didn't buy it and now I haven't seen any that can compare with it. It was a lovely red brocade looking album and wouldn't you know it I can't seem to get it out of my mind. Them's the breaks I guess and no it probably won't teach me any thing.K from next door mowed my back lawn for me today while I was inside scrapping with the girls. I am so grateful as it has been so hot that I had left it this week and it was a little bit overly long. Now I look out my craft room window and see my lush green lawn and smell the fresh mown grass smell. Did I mention that one of my favourite smells is fresh mown grass? Tomorrow is my birthday so I may just clean up my craft room as a gift to myself. Or not as the saying goes. See you soon. Dee
