Fred The Needle at Penrith has been my favourite scrap/fabric store for years. Simone and Gilly are precious friends and I love their talent for finding great new stuff. They can spot a trend a mile off and always know where to put their hand on that perfect item to finish off your latest work in progress.

So Saturday started out as a normal 'fruit of the womb' free day for me and ended with a stash top up lol Who'd have thought that the lure of a scrap shop would be too strong to resist? It was a four shop marathon! Online shopping is really convenient but scrapping is tactile and I need to fondle future purchases.

The displays at Fred are gorgeous too. I bought a gorgeous cake cloche which I will use to display stuff.

Best news ever is that Words or Whatever (WOW) chipboard have teamed up with Fred The Needle and produce exclusive chipboard products. So yummy! Cameos, doily hearts, dovecotes and gorgeous pennant banners, some with scalloped edges.

I recently made this bracelet from the Cameo chipboard. Underneath this bracelet is my new doily tablecloth. Awesome find!

Once again just plugging my favourite stores cos I get so much enjoyment from them.

Have I told you lately that I love you?

Pages 2 scrap? Would it be too bold to ask to move in? My bed would fit into the room upstairs? I promise I won't make any noise... I can't promise I won't chew open any new boxes as they arrive lol. Mostly I love you because you love T!m Holz too! (There are those in our industry who think he is too commercial... I happen to thank him every day for his talent and gorgeous catalog of yummy products.)

The girls at Pages 2 Scrap are just gorgeous, helpful, and hugely talented. I love going there cos I can have a good old natter about new products, ideas and any time I have wanted to find rare or unusual goodies, Sue and Bec go out of their way to find exactly what I'm looking for. Saturday had me drawn once again down to the shop for a trip around the yummy stuff and who can resist a SALE!?

The upcoming classes.

New stuff... huge tables of it!

I love this place!

You can find the store in Tuggerah. Its about 2ish hours from me. I love to spend a Saturday listening to the radio on the way down there. I get some good thinking time in and my local radio station runs the cutest show called 'treasure hunter' on Saturday mornings. They have two teams one at the studio and one outdoor broadcast following cryptic clues to a 'treasure' and it's so entertaining. Saturdays are my favourite. 

Now I don't get anything in the way of payment for this little plug on my blog. Just wanted to show my love for Pages 2 Scrap!

Happy New Year - Financial of Course

Geeks unite and trumpet the shiny new financial year, bursting with promise and endless earning opportunities. Or not...

A WOW mdf frame is the base for this layout. I love these frames, bought a few. This one I painted with good old acrylic spray paint from a can, what can I say, I love shiny. The photo was printed at home on metallic paper. It really is gorgeous photo paper. Works out at about $1 a sheet, but so worth the result.

Anyway tootle ooo. Lib

Oh how I love this stuff - glitter glass
