Learning Curve

Well it was a steep learning curve to learn how to put things in the shop but I did it and my kit is up at PDW.

This is the new link for the paper pack if you did not get it before. I have some entries in my competition. Have a look and see what you think? I think that they are wonderful.

Friday

It is raining, it is so wonderful. We have not had rain like this for so long, a great day to stay home and design. I have made three papers that you are welcome to use and join in my little competition. It is a totally different style and I wonder what you think of it. I would like some feedback if you download. I have also used my new logo .....what do you think of that? Many questions today, I sound like my grand-daughter Olivia. LOL. Anyway enjoy it.

This is the competition. Do you want to win my newest and only kit at PDW? All you need to do use one of the papers from the kit below, create a LO, upload it at your gallery with credits and then send me the link.
You must submit the link for your LO no later than August 3rd midnight to be qualified to win. You can send your link by posting a comment or send an e-mail with "My layout" in the subject line "click here" and don't forget to leave your name and your e-mail.

The winner that I choose will be notified by e-mail and on this blog and will receive the entire kit for FREE!!!
My new kit is called 'A Florist's Garden'.

Thank you

Thank you for your lovely comments; I think that I will go with Sandra Boddington Designs. Thanks Justine that was a good idea to keep Sand-Gal in there for a while.

I just want to share with you something that my sister told me. The rental market is so bad in Melbourne that prospective tenants are bidding for the house with the amount that they are willing to pay. At least it is not that bad in Brisbane yet but getting close.

Pen is home, it is so wonderful. I will share some photos of her visit over the next few days. What do you think of these colors…...BRIGHT!

Hooray

Hooray Penny is coming home tonight, just for four days so that she can renew her visa for Sri Lanka. It is so wonderful; we are really looking forward to it.

I haven’t shared my news with you yet, I 'm going to be designing for a second shop.....Plain Digital Wrapper. I don't know if I will be spreading myself too thinly but I want to give it a go. I'm so pleased that I have the opportunity to do this.

The family all seem pleased about the house, we are just waiting on the final date that we can move. Then we will start the BIG pack, hopefully this is the last time that I have to do it for a while. It makes us clean out the rubbish though there are those twenty books of craft things and books that haven’t been unpacked for five years. LOL Maybe it is time to look at them.

The other thing is that I think that I will change my name to Sandra Boddington Designs and no longer use Sand-Gal. What do you think? It is long. If anyone wants to have a go at designing a logo and if I use it you will receive a $15 gift certificate to the Sweet Shoppe.

Another day, another application.

Another day, another application. We find out today whether we have got the house that we applied for on Monday. It was funny we had spent all Saturday looking (plus Wednesday and Friday of last week), had a major disagreement over a house, came home had lunch and the went to afternoon tea with some friends. I knew when we were going that I was breaking an appointment to see a house but I was weary and fed up. We had a lovely time with the friends, so that when we left I said lets go look at the house, not telling the others that we were an hour late. The tenant at the house was so welcoming and did not seem to mind the fact that we were late. He showed us around the house and told us how it functioned for him. We were chaffed, we like the house, it had everything that we needed ….security, space, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, good location and pretty garden. So we have applied

I just got the news. ……..we got it. Now to move.
