Last Friday I drove off to Pretoria to visit my sister and her family for the weekend. I have to admit that I used her house as a guesthouse to a certain extend as I didn't really spend a lot of time with them. Saturday and Sunday I attended the Scrapbook Convention at Emperor's Palace. I met so many of my online friends for the very first time in real life. That was such an amazing experience on it's own. I want to say a SPECIAL thanks to Tracy, Belma, Sophia Jenny and Amanda who shared my table. It was so nice to get to know you all.You're a bunch of super dooper great girls!!!
On Saturday evening I had to earn my boarding and lodging by babysitting my little Leeloo angel! Not that it was any effort at all for me - only one BIG pleasure from beginning to end! :)
We got to make beautiful layouts using the most beautiful products! Can't wait to unpack it all and play with it again! Will post some of it once it's completed.
On Monday morning I had to attend a meeting in Rosebank but I also got to visit my other niece, Monya and her beautiful little 6 week old baby boy Danru. How cute is he?!
Tuesday, I was back at work and had to deal with a personnel crisis of a totally different nature. I cannot share the details here but it really gave me perspective on my own problems.
Boy - how wrong I was! It turned out to be a real life changing experience for me! I got the opportunity to get to know a side of my colleagues that I never knew existed! It really turned out to be exactly what the name says - it gave me so much insight into my own heart and soul as well as that of others. I'm really grateful for the opportunity that I had to attend.
This weekend I hope to get my scraproom sorted and get some of those beautiful layouts from the convention completed.
But now I'm off to have a relaxing, romantic dinner at my favourite restaurant (Hoi Poloi) with Leon ...
