Yep she’s alive

August 5, 2008 · 17 Comments

First up thank you for all your wonderful comments :) Made me feel great and I know it did the same to Chris! He’s happy at AUT and loves the cool central city location of his campus!

Cant believe it- almost a month since I last posted. Time just speeds by at the moment. Scary scary how fast… But then maybe that’s good because I am thoroughly sick of winter, rain and rain storms. Bring it on Spring!
Am too busy working, very full on :( I am exhausted and soo tired. Maybe I could curl up and have a winter’s sleep like a bear ;p Still doing heaps of extra work – will I ever learn to say NO thanks? The sick coworker, still not back yet…
Another cold and thanks to this yucky non stop rain Chris’s sleep out and our storage area flooded… Wah as if I am not busy enough as it is.
But there were some highlights too.
We had a fantastic trip to see the Maori TV Studios. What a bunch of lovely people, superfriendly! It was amazing to see everything! They are open to visits from the public, check the website for details.

Oh the gorgeous kit from Paperpesto was such a joy to work with! A total highlight for me, loved the stamps, the papers, embellies, the lot! Too bad it’s already sold out.
Check out the PaperPesto blog to see my fellow DT Ann’s cool work!

And here are some sneakies from me.

Oh almost forgot, the last entry to ScrapTheTeenz  – theme was Today you – I scrapped about a typical weekend day at work( New Worlds ) for Chris.

I hope to catch up with your blogs over the week. Miss not knowing what’s going on… But our internet is as turbulent as the rain at the moment… And I have to admit I used some rather foul language when the internet disappeared for the 10+ time in a row. That or I give up, for sanity’s sake ;p
Hope this finds you all are well and save! Thanks for listening to my whining ;p and for looking :)
xx Ilka

    Sneek peeks are gorgeous. I’m quacking with all this rain!

  • tw // August 6, 2008 at 2:00 pm

    Oh, these are stunning too!

    Yeah, I have heard great things about Maori TV. Supposed to be an awesome place to work too.

    Sorry about you getting flooded. We get too much rain here, but not as much as you people up North. The sun is shining at the minute for the first time since I don’t know when. Hope it lasts, very soggy and muddy here too.

    Welcome back Ilka … Barcelona layout – sensational … love it …

    Scrap the Teenz layout … like that one too. Sneak peeks, well as usual I’m waiting on the full reveal. LOL.

    Look after yourself buddy – work will wait and it will still be there another day … slow down, just a liltle and look after yourself.
