Now that's a title I didn't ever expect to see here!
But it's true...of late I have hardly switched on my laptop.
But never fear I am not disappearing for good!!
I am actually really enjoying a little online breather
even if it hasn't been self imposed!!!
Yup we have had ridiculous electical problems at our house
& have had to be turning our plug switch off at our MCB
for a week now. We think we have isolated the problem at
long last so hopefully I'll stay connected!
Anyway here are some sneaks of what is in the pipeline...
For reveal next week & ready to roll!
I could have been scrapping up a storm but without my lamps it's not easy
as I love everything to be really bright in my studio due to it's small size.
Instead I have been sorting through my stash & am amazed to have even
more than I ever realised! If I wasn't so blooming fussy now {my taste has
become very brand/style specific in the last year} I could scrap another few
HUNDRED pages without ever buying another thing!!
So I've decided to package everything up into kits & sell them
locally! I am so excited!! I have packed up about 100 kits so
far & photographed/edited/listed about 50 to date!
WHAT A JOB!!!
Anyway I'm hoping to sell those off in the next few months
on a NEW BLOG that is in the works! Exciting stuff right?!?
And that is just the beginning...
I plan on using the revenue from my kits to reinvest in stock for a small
online store, the plan being to stock mainly products that are not available
already here. Unusual things (for South Africa) that are difficult to source,
as I am an online shopping expert after years on the job LOL.
I'm not looking to take over the world, just keep myself in nice stash
without having to break the bank or call on hubby to hit me with a loan
every time the new Prima Collections are realeased LOL!
I'm also really stoked about being more involved locally, even if only online.
I am too busy to offer much else or anything on a regular basis at this point.
I'm more interested in changing people's perceptions about scrapbooking &
"how it has to be" , to show them how broad their options are,
than I am in making pots of money out of trying to compete in giving
them what we can all see they use here on a regular basis in any case.
I know, I'm a hopeless business person but "I'm far
more excited at the thought of blazing a trail than following one!"
And here's a heads-up on the current 7 Dots Studio Challenge that you can find
HERE. Sizzling Hot Summer Fun is the theme & JUST 5 DAYS TO GO!!
If you like the look of 7 DOTS PAPERS & want to win some for yourself,
along with some other yummy stash, then head over HERE to my giveaway
& put your name down on the list - got to be in it to win it!!
So that's it from me folks! Got to keep ploughing through my drawers
& papers a bit longer before I can give myself some more creative time
but I am making a huge dent in my stash & creating some empty drawers -
which is just what I need to declutter my studio & get some items off the
counter tops to create some more space to breathe, feel inspired & spread
myself out!! HAPPY WEEKEND - coming soon!
