Some HUGE news

Hi my friends,

We are just back from the hospital after my little guy having his tonsils out, he was an absolute star.... He has been brilliant, and so brave, he is asleep atm, so I thought Id take the opportunity to call in and let you know the 2 'secrets' Ive been keeping....

Ok # 1 ....... this is soooo amazing, I really am still in shock....I have been a huge fan of Pencillines sketches for a long time.... And just recently they had a DT call...... My GF pushed me ( hard) to apply for the DT, I did, but never in a million years thought I had a chance, but guess what ?????

I have been asked to join the pencillines newsletter design team !!! I still cant believe it. A huge thankyou to Anna for giving me this amazing opportunity :) I am so looking forward to working with this amazingly talented group of ladies.

The next exciting secret Ive been keeping is .......drumroll....... INGVILD BOLME (Prima DT and all round scrapbook legend ) is coming to ' the imagination factory' !!!!! For those of you who dont know the imagination factory, its about the best scrapbook store around, and its in Ballarat. I dont have any of the details yet, I just know it will be in November, and Ingvild will be teaching some of her amazing techniques. So, if you are interested in finding out more info, contact the shop on (03) 5331 6108.... I will have more details in a few days..... Im sure the places will fill up quick, so book early... I will most definately be there.........

Ok, better go look after my sick little boy :(

    Brilliant news.
    Glad your son is OK. His tonsils must have been bad for them to take them out. At least he'll have no trouble with them in the future.
