Inkspirations Challenges Round-up for 2009!
Happy Friday Folks!
I am totally still in shock about our property sale! Thanks so much for your Congratulations, it means so much. Reality has really hit home, and well it is now out with the lists, and to- do’s and what not, if we are to get to Cairns in time. We booked our, ONE WAY flights……that was pretty weird ordering them one way!!! We are now scheduled to fly out of Perth on Tuesday the 19th January at 10:50pm and will arrive in the early hours of the Wednesday! Now that really does make it real, and there is so much to do yet. I feel good about what we have managed to get done so far, but I still have these mini panics, and keep asking myself, “what are we doing?” It is so foreign for us to leave the place you have always called home. We have both grown up in Perth and have our families here, so yeah it will be quite the adjustment. I will just have to take it one day at a time 
So can you believe it is the end of the year? Crazy huh? Well it is also that end of the Inkspirations challenges for 2009 too. I was so pleased so many of you managed to get a gorgeous creation done considering it is that crazy time of year……so thank you!
Going through the entries and picking one, each week is really hard - you are all so good! This weeks Inkspirations winner is Genevieve, with her gorgeous owl creation! I also love how she has turned the sketch into a long card as well! Just gorgeous Genevieve!
Then this weeks honourable mention is Denise Marzec! I love how Denise has worked the sketch into a recipe card! How clever of her, and I love the DSP and stamp Denise has used too!
Again here is the slide show of all the challenge entries from this week! Be sure to check them out.
Once again I would like to say a very BIG thank you to everyone that took the time to participate in the Inkspirations Challenges this year! I have had a great time, and I hope you have too! We will be back on the 15th of January for the first challenge of the New Year!
Have a great night and thanks for stopping by!
So happy for you but sooooo sad too!! Gonna miss u!!
Will have to have a FFF at your place before u pack up all your card making stuff!!!
OMG wonderful news but I can understand the nausea feeling too - mmm you did ask for by the time the kids finished school - shoulda been more specific hey! lol
Take care on your move and look forward to an exciting future. I am as a new Stampin’Up Demo .
Hey! Thanks for the mention!!
Congrats to Genevieve!!
Great pick this week! The recipe card is a great idea, and I love to see another French-Canadian on here! Geneviève is part of my SU! sideline, so I’ve met her at a team event before. Sweet and very talented girl! You should see the sample board she puts together with her friend CeeCee… Real eye candy!
I can’t believe you’re moving on January 19th. That seems so soon! (Not to add to your panic attack…) You’ll be a busy girl in the upcoming weeks, with the Holidays and the move. I hope you still have time to relax and enjoy Christmas! (And I hope my Christmas card gets to you before you move… Lol! It should - Kirsty told me she got hers.)

Hope it all goes smoothly for you!
Thanx for your friendship and support this year too - you are a lovely and giving lady!

I have a suggestion for your slide show. Sometimes I cant remember what the challenge was: colour or a sketch. As the first page of the slideshow could it be the challenge (either the colour challenge or the sketch). You are pretty busy right now, so just a thought for the future. Love your challenges and slideshows.
Wowsers Keesh…ba-da-BING….ba-da-SOLD!!!! Congrats. I am so happy that u have reached the end of that journey and another is JUST around the corner. With the speed that this year has flown..Jan 19th will be here before you know it. I wish you a safe flight, hassle free transition and all the v v best. Well done and thanks for all of your hard effort this year. I have appreciated it immensely. ooxx
Well Keesh, i am very happy for you all and of course sad for the fact that “one of my main Inkspirations is going”
Wow booked those tickets, that means you are really out of here soon.
May the decision Rod and yourself with with your children be a be a very happy one , once you reside there and have settled in.
Thanks for all your inspirations, encouragement, coffees and treats and creations you’ve so freely shared in your workshop get togethers and via your blog during the years i’ve been your friend through the crafting world of StampinUp!

Hi Keesh
Congrats on the sale and very best wishes for your move to Qld (and just how much influence in this move did Miss Thomas have???!!!!). Good to know you will have a friendly face there though
Having done the big move over east myself - 10 yrs ago now - rest assured that it gets easier, the 1st year is the hardest and it’s not too far to go back to visit *g*
Hugs

Hi Makeesha
Please make contact when you have your stamps unpacked and you would like to play or talk SU with someone in Cairns!! LOL! Too many hot & humid days at the moment - it will get better!!

Good luck and looking forward to when you have the time to let us know how your new chapter is going,

Wishing you and your family all the best for the great move. Having done the big move from Qld to country Vic only just 13 months ago I know what your going through. Cant wait to hear all about your packing and unpacking in the future posts. Safe travels and Cairns is going to be wonderful for you all xx
