OMG an Update!

Hi everyone,

I am so sorry I haven't updated the blog for awhile have had quiet a lot going on around here. First thing is that I will be closing this blog in the next couple of weeks but will have a new one up and running shortly. "Why am I closing this one" well there are many reasons but mainly due to the fact that I am no longer a member of the online store I created for due to certain issues I had with the owners and when I set up this blog it was mainly for my DT work so out with the old and in with the new!!!

I will actually have a few blogs on the go so stayed tuned as it promises to be very exciting, will let you know more in a day or two lol!

WARNING!!!!

Please note that I have added a playlist to my blog and some songs are explicit - if you are easily offended or have little ears listening please turn the sound down or press pause.

It's Been Fixed :)

Well I tried to upload some layouts last night but my Internet kept dropping out but the good news is that it has been fixed, went and picked up a new replacement modem today and have had no problems yippee!

So once I have the kiddies in bed I will be back!!!

Internet Issues

Well for the last couple of days my Internet connection has been dropping out. Have spoken to my service provider who blamed the problem on the phone line and would send Telstra out to fix it. So today they call me back up and say they think its best that they replace the modem now LOL - I had been saying that was the problem in the first place doh! At the moment it seems to be steady so will try and upload a few layouts a little later.

Back soon!!!

Scrapping Around Back Online

I have some good news - Scrapping Around is back online. Due to some technical issues the forum had to be completely redone which means all threads & posts where lost as was the gallery, if you where already a member you will need to re-register for the forum & gallery again but not the store. We have all been hard at work to get everything back up and running again and shouldn't have any more problems :) I have put all the new links back up on the left hand side so please pop on over and say hi, can't wait to see you there!

Scrapping Around Site Update

As you may know Scrapping Around have had a few issues and have started to transfer the site to a new hosting company. This is going to take up to a week to complete so please be patience while this happens - I know it's a pain but it has to be done. I am taking down all links to Scrapping Arounds site and will let you know when we are working again. In the mean time to keep you all busy while you are unable to chat visit the Scrapping Around Blog as Monique will be setting the Scrap Your Stash Challenge #2 and the Quote Challenge #4 on there later today.

P.S Leave the girls a comment or 2 and once the site is back up they will be picking someone to send a RAK too.
