Going to bonanza tomorrow, every time i think of that i cant stop singing that theme tune to the dodgy wild west show year and years ago. BON-ON-ZA. Ha ha. What it is,a meeting of scrapbookers in the nec, brum. funny that if you had told me a year ago that i would be going to one of these things and actually quite excited about it. I would have laughed in your face and said something like, ‘keep your weirdo, sandal wearing, crafty type madness’ thanks.
But here i am setting of at OMGoodness…0730am with my very amazing buddy Gill and leaving my three lovely kiddies in the arms of their daddy for the day.
But how things change eh? Inspired by a very cool lady called Cathy Zielske, an american scrapbooker I discovered that scrapbooking doesnt have to be about lots of ribbon, twirly bits and fluff. But can actually just be about some very cool pictures and some great stories about life with an added bit of colour.
I guess things that can seem crazy at one stage of your life, actually become something very very worth while at others….mmm
So we are off to the crop…..sorry but that word should not be used, i mean it sounds like an outbreak of something…’like there was a crop of chicken pox’
But nevertheless i am looking forward to it, Gill and i have a WHOLE day without having to answer the call of kiddies and that is worth celebrating. We are going to wonder around without thinking, lingering in shops and just not being at anyones beck and call, heck it could be anywhere. As i said to a friend recently, ‘if im standing in a queue and i dont have any kids with me, i enjoy it’
Dont get me wrong I love my kids so much sometimes that it hurts but its nice to have a bit of a breather now and again.
so we are off a scrappin’ and im going to love it all even if all i do is chill with my buddy and have a subway….
