Cute LO to show ya :)


Last night I did my first LO for a challenge on Craft bits and bears. It's a LO of Darling Emily (surprise, surprise!), using dark pink & light pink. Very girly, but I like it! Excuse the shocking phot and all the glare.. I'll re do it in the daylight.. It has gone kind of orangey and yuk..


On another front, I actually emailed off some work tonight to start submitting to be published! I know, it's about time.. but I AM doing it! Yay for me! No more scaredycat.. I fully expect rejection, but I will just have to learn to deal with that..lol..

What else.. Oh, i went back to work in the city yesterday. It was GREAT to be back in the real world, but very very tiring. The boys at work were laughing at me shuffling along like an old lady, but I'm getting there. I still haven't had the pathology results back from the lump that was removed, so I think I'll call the specialist tomo about that, I just want it all done & dusted, ya know? I was in bed before Em last night, I slept like the living dead, but I guess I needed it. I will work from home tomorrow, then I'm off to Nelson Bay on Thursday, and home again friday. My boss and a few others are out of the office Friday so I don't need to go to the city Friday either, I will try to do something in Newcastle instead (which is cool, less traffic :))
Thanks for checking in, leave me a message, so I know you've been & can check out your blog too!!

Well done your guest DT position. Awesome news, love hearing things like that! Looking at your gorgeous LOs I can't believe you have never submitted anything to the mags yet! Go for it - had a few nos and last minute rejections myself :-( makes me more determined! LOL Even did the Masters just to really get a kick out of that rejection feeling if/when it comes around. Get me motivated to do better! I do like your layouts and good luck with getting published!
