Thank you and farewell ...

It was lovely to see some Scraphaven faces today at Ron's memorial service.
Thank you to those who were able to attend and to everyone who sent along messages of condolence to myself and Ron's family. Messages have been forwarded to the family.  The service was a fine tribute to a truly lovely gentleman.  He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

Monday, 6 January 2014

Saying Good-bye to a dear friend ...


The service of Thanksgiving for Ron's life will be held this Thursday, 9th January, 1.30pm
at St. Andrew's Uniting Church, Sunbury.

Ron served the Church, the community and all who knew him with compassion and love.
He was one of God's true gentlemen, always making time for others right through to the end.
I was privileged to meet with him for the last time on Friday, 27th December where we shared hugs, laughter and all the current news to date and left with messages from him to pass on to friends including all those from Scraphaven, which became his regular Friday morning cuppa and catch up.
His presence will always be with us.
R.I.P


Friday, 3 January 2014

Tribute to a lovely man ...

It is with great sadness that l inform everyone from Scraphaven that peacefully on Thursday morning, 
my dear friend Ron passed away at Ocean Grove at his daughter's home.  Ron loved coming along every Friday to make a cuppa for everyone and will be fondly missed by all. A service of Thanksgiving for his Life will be held at St. Andrew's Uniting Church later next week, most likely Friday.
My condolences go to all his family.
Rest in peace now Ron.



This photo was taken on his 90th Birthday, 21st October, 2013,
He is with his daughter and her husband, his son and his daughter-in-law.

Sneak Peaks of Narelle's 2014 classes!

Hi everyone

Here's some sneak peaks of my Term 1 classes  for 2014!

On February 7th (10.30am and 7.00pm) we'll be doing a Christmas class!  I've already created this class for you so you know what sort of photo you need to get your family to pose for this festive season!  You'll a 5x7 Portrait photo- so make sure you get the family gathered around the tree this Christmas!  The layout uses traditional Christmas colours and the word "joy" and the date.



This layout is now on display at Scraphaven so you can pop in and have a look and book your spot now (there is a very strictly limited number of kits for this and stock absolutely can not be reordered so we will need to ask you to pay your deposit to secure your spot in this class.  As I write this post there are only 10 kits left!!!).  With the limited number of kits available-  this will be an "in-store" only class.


My other set of classes for Term One are going to use the Fancy Pants Happy Go Lucky Range.  This will be a Kit Class where we'll be working with the kit that has been put together by Fancy Pants to create a couple of layouts over  two weeks on March 21st and March 28th ) 10.30am and 7.00pm.  We have pre-ordered some kits but cant be sure that we'll be able to get more, so to guarantee your spot in the class please see Di and pay your deposit for the class.


I wish you and your family a blessed Christmas and a year to come full of happiness and most importantly GOOD HEALTH!!

Blessings,
Narelle xxxx

What you'll need for Narelle's class this Friday

Hi everyone

Here's some very generous sneak peak images of the double layout we'll be completing this week.



For the photos you'll need:-
  • One 5x7 Landscape
  • Three 6x 4 Landscapes or a combination of 3x4 portrait images (as an example in the girl layout above I have used four portrait images and one landscape, and in the boy layout below I have used 3 6x4 landscapes)
  • Please note in the images that the right hand side of the 5x7 photo has paper overlapping it, as does about one quarter of one of the 6x4 landscape photos.
  • For this class its definitely going to be best to bring your photos along on the day.  Adding them later is going to be much trickier.

You'll also need to bring:-
  • Your MME Kit and enamel dots from last week's class
  • Paper trimmer 
  • Ruler
  • Scissors
  • Double sided tape
  • Black, Dark Grey or Charcoal Ink


This week's class layout is based on this sketch by BasicGrey sketch artist Susan Stringfellow.



Blessings,

Narelle xxx

Hi everyone!  

Here's what you will need to bring along for the My Minds Eye  "My Girl" and "Boy Crazy" class this FRIDAY at 10.30am or 7.00pm.



  • 1 Photo-  I used a 5x7" photo that has been trimmed to 12cm x 13cm .
  • Paper trimmer 
  • Ruler
  • Scissors
  • Double sided tape
  • Foam tape  or foam dots 
  • Black, Dark Grey or Charcoal Ink
  • Cereal Box or Pizza Box cardboard (that can be used in between paper layers to add dimension if desired.)
