a few of my bestest mates....

are my aussie girls....

i love these girls...they are some of the sweetest bunch i have ever met & make me want to hop on the next plane to brisbane so i can hang out with them and chat and eat tim tams till our bellies ache....

thank GOD for the blog world & e-mail & yahoo messenger (if i can get it working again...) so that we could meet & get to know each other....they give me so much support & encouragement & laughs & inspiration & smiles....i just LOVE THESE GIRLS!!!

and they also are freakin' talented!!!

check out Lee's latest work with lime tart (& yes that is me featured in one of her projects...i'm so honored!)

here is the little page spread from her little book of fabulousness:

& then there is Petrina or "p" as i call her....p is one of the girls behind aussie scrapjacks  and now she is getting pubbed by For Keeps Mag in Oz....Yeah P!!!!!!  & if that wasn't enough...she has started making her own screen prints.  she sent me a little taste...& omg....AMAZING!!!  seriously...gorgeous upon gorgeous!!!

& then there is Janine, who basic grey can't get enough of (no wonder!) and is going to be starting up her own on-line classes soon...(hello!!????  i'm gonna be first in line for that!!!), now she also just got word that TWO of her layouts are going to be in a special edition of Simple Scrapbooks this fall....CONGRATS JANINE!!!

& those are just a few of my awesome mates down under....there is also jess, siany, bek, n'gaire, lis, lisa and there are so many more...aussie gals rule!!!
