~ The Store will be moving ~

Hi Everyone!
Well some good news! Aussie Scrap Designs was closing
as the upkeep and running options had changed.
However the good news is that I am going to keep the store open.
We will be transferring to a new server soon.
In the meantime we will be trading as usual.
You can still find the most exquisite scraps on the net
in our store and you can check out our newest designers too!
Great news huh?
Hope to see you all in store ;-)

~ Whoo hoo It's Friday ~

At least the weekend is almost here!!! It's been a long work week this week with heaps happening and lots of stress and pressure, but now I look forward to two days off. Well maybe not quite as hubby and I will be spending the weekend helping to paint our daughters new home.
Briony has bought an older home for herself and her two young sons. It's a great house but there is a lot of work to be done. I think the term is "Renovator's delight" LOL
Before they can move in, we want to fully paint the house, replace all the old floor coverings and install a new oven for her. The house is huge, so it's going to be all hands on deck to get it done, as they are incredibly excited and anxious to move in.
Not bad for a young woman who had nothing 3 years ago eh?
I'm so proud of her!!!! I'll still manage to get a couple more freebies up though, so watch out for them.............
Hugs

Holidays Over :(

Well it's Saturday and I am back to work Monday. Boy having a whole month off was fantastic, and it really makes me yearn for retirement lol. Did heaps though, we had our two week trip to Darwin and saw the Aussie Outback, then had lunches with friends, managed to get a bit done around the house and spent time with hubby. All in all it was great. I wonder if the wish faerie would grant me another month hehehe

~ Pelican ~ Freebie Commercial Use

Here's another one for the designers. This little fella would look great in those beach kits, and he'd be a great addon for the tagger. Just remember to feed him lots of fish lol
