To get a blog post done, I mean really in the scheme of things it should be easy, but for some reason it has just kept getting harder and harder. Those of you we see often in the store will know we have been busy with the our youngest who contracted Guillain-Barre Sydnrome and is still in hospital, but now able to get a day release and get about on some crutches, and come home for one of Mum's roast dinners. We are waiting on a placement at Shenton Park Rehab hospital and he has started his Physical therapy programme at Joondalup. It is going to be a long road to recovery, but we have faith and the love and blessings of family and friends and for that we are very grateful. So that is probably one reason why it has been hard to blog. As a good scrapbooker I have taken the odd photo during this process because life is not all birthday cakes and parties, we need to scrap the tough stuff as well. I do hope you are finding time to scrapbook or to do what I am doing at the moment, taking photos and thinking about scrapbooking them.
National Scrapbooking Day was a fun day at the store and some great pages were scrapped, prizes won and some bargains were had as well as some new techniques learnt. Midnight Madness is this Friday night so as the weather has turned definitely more 'scrapbookie' why not come out and join us? Also coming up on Friday 17th June is our Supercrop for Purple Bra Day, for Breast Cancer WA. We had a real hoot last year and raised serious money and we look forward to that again. The day starts at 2.30pm and goes to Midnight! More information via our newsletter which should go out over the weekend and Bob will highlight some of the products that arrived from the USA this week. The new pink paislee, one word - divine.
Getting very excited that our annual themed camp is only 10 days away. What bliss, 3.5 days of fun, scrapping, good food, laughter and a fun theme of Alice in Scrappyland. There are 30 scrappers going and we are just hanging in there for that. Been very busy with projects and props and packing kits etc, perhaps another reason it has been hard to blog?
Here are some dates for you:
June 17th - Purple Bra Day Supercrop
August 13-14 - Creative retreat (Swanleigh)
August 28th - City to Surf and Crop day

Time to collect those bras again a lot of fun.
Thanks for keeping us up to date with James, did wander how he was going, as you say it is going to be a long battle at least he is able to communicate and enjoy some of Mums cooking.
