It's been a great day - the house is clean and I had time to scrap a layout for my next Keeping It Simple Article. For those who regularly visit my blog, I used a photo from my Grandmother's 95th birthday (which actually turned out later on to be her 94th ... but that's another story). I asked her heaps of questions, some of which were suggested by you and that is featured on the layout. Sadly, you'll need to wait until Issue 67 before you get to see how it turned out. I can't wait to show her on Sunday. When I asked my grandmother if I could ask her some questions and interview her, I explained that it would be published in a magazine and people would read about her. I asked her if that would be OK and she replied in her gorgeous broken english ...
"You think they want to read about me?" - how cute hey!
I also received 2 layout acceptances from Scrapbooking Memories today, so that was great.
And a couple of days ago, I received my copy of Simple Scrapbooks (USA) in the mail - this was no ordinary issue for me. I'm pretty excited actually. I'm a huge fan of SS and I was so excited when they accepted a layout from me to be featured in this issue. It is so sad that this will be the second last issue that goes to print - they cease printing after the next one- so very sad!
Here are some pics of the magazine - and if you get a copy you'll find 2 other aussies in there (nicole and dianne) as well as a few other well known US and Canadian scrappers that I'm fortunate to be friends with - way to go girls!

All in all a good day for scrapping news!
