Been so busy

I have fallen really behind in updating my blog again, life seems to have taken over again.  Its that dreaded time of year again where its time to start planning towards Christmas.  Even though its only the beginning of September if I don't start now my poor son will have no presents.  I have already picked up a few bits and pieces, dvds, wii game etc.  I am now going to concentrate on getting the main presents.  We went to Smyths toy store yesterday and he was in heaven, so many different toys to look it.  I was dreading it as thought all I would hear is "can I have, can I have" but he surprised me and just looked around.  I told him to look for ideas to put on his Christmas list to give to Santa.  He didn't add much as most of the stuff in the store was already on his list.  He had a go on a scooter in the store and has asked for one, debating it as nothing wrong with the scooter he already has.  I hate Christmas shopping close to Christmas, so fingers crossed I can get it all finished early.


I have enrolled on my university course and start in 2 weeks, I will be doing a 2 year degree in Creative Industries (Photography) Course.  Really looking forward to starting the course, hopefully will improve my scrapbooking as well as learn photography.  Starting the course gave me the inspiration to do Project 365, as better late than never I guess.  I'm trying to stick to it this time, doing well so far.  Some days just hard to know what to take a photograph off, especially when don't go anywhere.  I don't want 365 photographs of my son smiling at me, even though I love photographs of him I want something different each day.  I don't think I will post everyday on the blog with my Project 365 photo, as probably forget.  So I will attempt to add my weekly/monthly LOs from the project.  


I have been busy creating LOs as usually, I also managed to create a new signature tag.  Captivated Visions released a new kit called 'Happy Snapper' which is available here at Scrap Matters

This is my favourite kit at the moment, maybe something to do with me starting my photography course lol.  I created my facebook profile picture using it, and my signature tag for the Gotta Pixel forum.  Would love to redesign my blog using this kit, but have no idea where to start.  All a bit technical for me, might attempt it though.  Here is the profile picture and signature tag I created.

Simply Scraps is having a CT call so I decided to apply for that, keeping my fingers crossed.  Have applied for various CT calls in the past but no luck yet.  But there are some very talented scrappers about, compared to some LOs I see don't think mine are spectacular.  I have also been entered into a draw to win a guest CT spot with Connie Prince.  If you 'like' her fan page on facebook you are entered into the draw.  You can become a fan off Connie Prince Designs on Facebook here.  


Some fabulous kits been released recently, here's a few of the ones I like.  Need to watch my budget as spend way to much on digital kits.  All kits are linked to Gotta Pixel store where you can purchase them.

Time now to go make a coffee.  Thinking about completely redesigning my blog, including changing the name.  But stuck for ideas at the moment.
