Have you seen????

Has anyone noticed that Cills been busy of late?? She's been busy posting products onto the website HERE - they aren't always the latest in, it's just that we estimated that half of the shop ISN'T on the web - so that's her job for the moment!! Rebecca has been busy making die cuts as we've been totally wiped out at the store, and me, I've been busy with the Family Tree crop box and loving it! I found a whole box of family photos that I found POST house removal - infact, we only emptied the cottage last weekend, and I want to get them into my album... Christine is about to start on ALL of her photographs on her recent trip to the UK, and we're awaiting a delivery from the states that seems to have been as elusive as LORD LUCAN......It's supposed to be in the shop tomorrow - a day which seems to have gained momentum faster than an avalanche. Speaking of which, our trip to the snow took a major turn last week when a friends 6 year old child that was with us {forgot} to jump off his sled and crashed into an icebank with his helmetless head at 30kms per hour at Whakapapa - she asked me to take photos for his scrapbook - HOWEVER we had BOTH planned to use the JULY CROP BOX - but the emergency reds of the paramedics carrying him down the hillside on a backboard with neckbrace don't work well with the simple blue & whites!! I'm not being blaze about it, but now that we know that he's OK (he was back on the slopes that afternoon) we can finally breathe a sigh of relief!

So keep an eye out on what's new - whether it's new to the site OR new into the shop, and get planning your projects for the next FAMILY TREE CROP BOX....

Don't forget the Pet/Animal layout competition!!

Be in to win an American Traditional Designs 12x12 Pet Album!!
Simply by loading your pets and animal layouts onto the gallery and be in with 1 chance per entry. All entries will go "into a hat" and be drawn on August 11th 2006.
You can see in the slide show above some of the fantastic entries we already have in the gallery!
The above layouts were done by the following members: ChristineS, Chris, Countryslave, jmuir, Kluffy, Memories by Manda, rosaliejb and Sejie. (not in any particular order - you will have to check them out in the gallery to see who did what layout!!) (Rebecca has just imformed me that if you don't have broadband you might not see the slide show above - sorry about that! - but you can still check them out in the gallery!)
Remember it dosen't have to be your pet - it could be a friends pet or a zoo animal. We realise some people don't have pets (Like Priscilla whose pets all either run away or die........)
So far we are having a fairly quiet week at the shop (I think Annie needs one after her exciting time at the snow on the weekend when a friends son sled into an ice wall and knocked himself out and split his head open - scarey stuff!)
- But we did have lots of cool new stuff arrive yesterday!!! Its always exciting when a box of new product arrives at the shop - a bit like Christmas. This week the new stuff included:

(I would have put pictures here for you but blogger isn't co-operating with me today!)
