Wow I’m busy this week

Well the chat room at the Studio (formerly SAS) went on it’s maiden voyage on Monday (US time) and I held a chinese whispers crop, we all chatted and scrapped at the same time, each person in the chat room taking their turn in giving us an item to add to our pages. And wow some great layouts came out of that scrap

Here are some of them

This is my layout from the whispers crop chat

SAS IS EVOLVING – WELCOME “the STUDIO”

Yes if you haven’t heard, we are moving the site, NOW, as I type this LOL. And we are revamping our look and changing our name. From today we will be known as www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com aka the STUDIO
We will have a redirect in place for those of you who didn’t get the recent newsletters from SAS.

If you don’t get the newsletter, when the site comes back online in a few hours from now, why not go to the store and sign up and be sure to select yes to receiving the newsletter, we have freebies in it and at the moment there is an awesome freebie collaboration coming out in stages called Live Laugh Love that is just so pretty and perfect for scrapping or cardmaking. I am biased since I am one of the designers who helped create this kit but it really is pretty. Here’s a preview

This is a very exciting time for us all and we hope you will like our new look, new name and super fast site.

But we still have the same Designers, Community and Customer Service you have come to rely on.

Oh and did I mention CHAT!!!! Woo Hoo, we will be having CHATS finally at the STUDIO.

Keep your eyes peeled for a Schedule of Chats. I am going to be one of the first cabs off the rank when the CHAT ROOM OPENS AND I CAN’T WAIT TO TALK TO YOU ALL. SO EXCITED LOL!!

Okay Stay Safe

Leanne’s Christmas Visit

Well as I am sure you are all as busy as I am at this time of the year. I am even busier this year as we have my Friend Leanne staying with us till early next week.  So I have kept our days full of shopping and outings to show her as much of Sydney as we can while she is with us.

So here we go with a bit of an itinerary of her stay so far.

Christmas day was wet here so we had inside BBQ Christmas Dinner LOL. Pics of that are on my other hard drive sorry!

These few are two of my favourites from our visit to La Perouse. This is the site of a few of the scenes from Mission Impossible 2 (the Tom Cruise version)  Pics are Leanne and Michael

Christopher and his Girlfriend Jessica dropped in for a quick visit and rest on their way north.

Me and the kids

Christopher with his/our Dog Shona!! She’s pretty happy with all the attention obviously LOL

New Year’s eve Fireworks on Sydney Harbour

New Year’s Day
Lea and I went to the city for a wander through the markets and then monorail to Darling Harbour to have a cruise of the harbour, we had warm overcast weather and it was lovely, we had a great day.

Okay that’s it for now, I should be back in full swing in another few days.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

Smokey Robinson with Human Nature

Well what a great time we had last night at this concert up at Winyard Estate Vineyard in the Hunter Valley.

We stayed at Singleton but they were running a coach service to the concert so we opted for that so that we could have a few wines etc.  Well for what should have been a half hour trip to the venue, it took us 2 hours, the traffic jams were horrendous and eventually aparantly some paying customers with tickets didn’t even get in. They had over sold the tickets. So there will be a lot of unhappy fans that’s for sure.

So we even ran into friends from the valley who had gone to the show too. Small world even up here.

Here are some happy snaps from the show. I didn’t get a lot of fab pics cause of camera shake, urgh, gonna have to make a habit of taking my tripod for things like this.

Anyway here are a few, the best were of Smokey Robinson, who was fabulous.

So that was our weekend, I hope you all had a good one too
