The Bloody Dishwasher......

The bloody dishwasher must be male.....It went on the blink on Christmas Eve, only to give up entirely on Christmas day night.....No ones coming to fix it until next week so it's handwashing horror at the moment....OOOppps and the in-sinkerator is blocked too courtesy of the kids, a spoon and lord knows what else..don't you just love Christmas. We've all been busy here getting our projects ready for Megan and looking for inspiration amongst the Christmas Spirit....well some of us with not tooo much Christmas spirit. Was Santa good to you? How ready for New Years are you? Tomorrow I've got my eldest turning 10 - 6 10 year old boys plus a few extras down at the lake on the snake, followed by a bbq then finally they're camping over...most definately some photo opportunities! Until then.................enjoy the little bit of sunshine! I'm in need of new photos.

Fond Farewell.....

Well, Friday saw the end of an era for us....After over 5 years, the doors closed at Scrapbookin Annies for me to take the time to get better with the health issues that have plagued me for the last 3 years.... I delayed this weeks G & T from going out to give everyone time to get over the Christmas excitement, and to give us the chance to go to the pub after work on Friday followed by Christmas shopping in Hamilton...BIG MISTAKE - Myself, Christine & Jenny all went off to the base - exhausted and the car parks were still full at 10pm.....On the way home, we called at the Warehouse in Cambridge - and got everything that we needed in Hamilton (but they had sold out) and no-one in store too........Has everyone checked Santas lists? I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all of your custom, stories, friendships and friendly faces over the past 5 years. We all look forward to catching up with many of you at SENZ and also through our work with Megan at Scrapbooker & Co.
From the Girls at Scrapbookin Annie
We wish you a Merry and Safe Christmas and New Year.

Annie, Christine, Jenny, Rebecca, Priscilla, Josie, Belinda & Wilma

Have a good one.....

Sorry - I had to keep him at the top of the blog..

Well, the paper racks have now gone on trade me - and my dh is regretting saying that he'll deal with it - lol.....Thought that I should post an image too....Managed to get an electric shock today from my Christmas lights to which my entire family almost wet themselves laughing [ how nice is that]. It's the staff party on Wednesday night with Cill & The Josie too - well once i've asked Josie (ooops). Drs tomorrow so I get to skive off for a wee while (again) then it's countdown to Friday.. Everywhere seems to look empty at the moment because it's usually full to butsting! Just have to get the Christmas shopping finished and my cards to the UK...Better go!

50% off nearly everything

Well why else do you think that none of us have had the chance to get to the blog - lol....As you'll well know, last week, I announced that I'd be shutting the shop - including the dental surgery - that totals 9 surgeries in 2 years - with more to come and a few problems thrown in along the way - so it's time to sit back and smell the roses before I start pushing up daisies instead - lol....So - I've sold the crop box and lessons on line section of the business to Megan Kapma of Scrapbooker & Co and all of the girls at the shop are joining the design team for Megan - including myself......we all can't wait! I got a txt sent to me last Monday saying that everyone was queing up the street and we hadn't yet opened - I was in Hamilton at the time at the neurosurgeon - so huge thanks to the girls for working without taking a breath for the whole week!!! Soul has been updated and yes - we'll keep a POST SCRAPBOOKIN ANNIE BLOG - seeing that we're getting a vast number of requests for this...OOOOhhhhh I know that we told this on this weeks Gin & Tonic newsletter - but who's been to see Casino Royal - Daniel Craig's enough to bring on a hot flush......

Until next time - just drool...........
