An Announcement, exciting news and a prize!!!

First of all....my announcement. Yes.....I join the ranks of those mothers who saw their child off to school for the first day. I was very brave....had tissues in one hand and camera in the other...and didn't need the tissues at all!! Jeromel has been looking so forward to school and
his attitude towards school was fantastic...he was sooo ready. I'm glad I made the decision to keep him home for another year as he wasn't mentally, socially or physically ready to start Prep in 2006. He loves his new teacher and ran into the classroom and settled himself into an activity straight away. Last years transition program helped so much....they did an hour a week for terms 3 and 4....which is a fabulous program. Jeromel is in a class with 18 other children..and there is another child there who is anaphylactic to peanuts as well.
Ok...on to exciting news.....the fabulously talented Carole Janson's deluxe kit has been put up for sale on Scrapping Angels For those who are not familiar with how a deluxe kit works....you buy the kit which comes with cardstock, papers, embellishments AND instructions on how to do the 4 layouts and card that you see in the pic above. Yup yup yup...if you have ever wondered how Carole gets sooo much dimension and pop in her layouts....then you have to get this kit. But WAIT....there's more.....she will be online in the Scrapping Angels chat room on the28th Feb to chat with you....and help you if you are stuck or if you have any questions. How cool is that???

I am in the process of picking out my products for my deluxe kit which will launch in May!! Any one wants to do a class with me??

Ok.....done my announcement and my exciting news..now time for a prize. I've always wondered who reads my blog on a regular basis....who lurks but never comments? Let me entice you out of lurkedom with a rak prize. All you have to do is post a comment and I will get Jeromel to draw out a winner on the 9th Feb.

Hi Ruey, I visit your Blog daily. You are an inspiration and I totally admire your work. Jeromel reminds me of when my boys first started school - they were all just so ready to go. I held my 3 son back for a year and it was the best thing I ever did. Have a great year Jeromel.

Tammy said...

Hi Ruey,
I always get a grin at the prizes drawing out the lurkers but I'm Sooo guilty of doing it. I comment here occasionally but not as often as I pop in. Rebecca Sower had something like 636 names to draw when she cleared out her studio!! 600 !!!

Mel Nunn said...

Hi Ruey, I have dropped by a few times and rudely left no comment for you... naughty me :P . Awesome on being such a brave mum too.

Hi Ruey,
I'll confess I'm a lurker and absolutely love your work. Your blog is in my favourites and I check it out almost everyday.
My little boy started grade 1 on Monday and has had a fabulous week.
This is my first time leaving a comment and I hope I will know how....a bit technically challenged. LOL!
Cheers

Alway looking at your blog Ruey, your scrapping really inpires me as I love your style (also your food pictures keep me coming back - you know that !)

Yeah for Jeromel and his first day bet he had a blast !!!

Megan said...

I am a frequent visitor to your blog Ruey but am so slack at leaving comments on yours or lots of people's for that matter. I promise to do better from now on!!

You Caught Me!

I'm another one that lurks too much but that's only because you leave me to shame :(

Being an EB mummy I eye off all your creations from off there & on here, so I get double the excitment.

Happy Birthday to my little man who will be turning 3 of the 9th of february too - great I feel old.

Felicity said...

Hi Ruey,

I am coming out of lurkerdom as well. Great news to hear you are running a class I will be there with bells on. Your work is such an inspiration to many of us on EB :) Felicity.

Hi Ruey! Wow!! When you announced there's a prize to be won, this particular post has 31 comments (up-to-date)!! Hee! He!
My initial intro to your blog was through Adeline's blog. I'm afraid I don't read your blog everyday. I do envy you being in a place where scrapping resources are available aplenty. Am curious to know what's gonna be in your kit but I guess I'd have to wait like everybody else! Any chance of it being available here in Brunei?

judee d said...

Gee did someone mention prize!!!! It only takes that word and so many visits.
I am so glad that Jeromel enjoyed his school experience. Well done Jeromel.
Congrats Ruey on
1. being a brave mum
2. having your kit announcement
3. announcing your class
4. being a great person
Thanks for visiting me. I am sure there will be plenty of photos of the wedding, outfit and of course not to forget Jodie's new baby.
Thanks
Keep smiling and healthy
