In the time honoured tradition of my family - Only 16 sleeps to go!
I am so looking forward to this weekend away, on many different levels. I have actually been looking forward to this weekend for probably around 8 or 9 months. I know, I know this seems an impossibly long time to look forward to one weekend but there is a history here.
Whilst we were still living in Nova Scotia, the house was on the market and we were hopeful (!) of a quick sale, I convinced myself (I'm very good at this) that we would be back in the UK by the beginning of September. Wishful thinking this turns out to be. Anyway, so the ScrapManic weekend, to be held at the end of October, was announced I was like "hey, I can go to that, we'll definitely be back in England by then, I mean, we're going to be there at the beginning of September, aren't we?" and so on. A few well placed words with Richard "I deserve this break you know darling. what with you always jetting off to Bermuda. I know it's work, but it's nice work. and of course 12 week long school holiday breaks. and it is my favourite scrapbooking weekend. if I could only go on one scrapbooking weekend THIS would be the one".
You get the idea... Long story short (doing lots of this at the moment) I book but we don't sell, what a surprise, so I have to sell my place off
and then to top it off we sell and move back to England the weekend after the crop!!!!
And the other reasons I'm looking forward to ScrapManic? Some retail therapy, being able to catch up with some old friends, the opportunity to make some new ones (some of whom I've already 'met' in the virtual world), retail therapy, a whole weekend scrapping, a welcome break from my 3, not always adorable, children, great food, great instructors, fab location, to name just a few.
Did I mention retail therapy?
