Yes we are open for BUSINESS!!!

The Scrappy Cow's doors opened for trade today!!! Thanks so much for all the fantastic support, phone calls, emails, text and flowers that we received today it was overwhelming..... Lilli was very excited this morning helping me take down the paper off all the windows for all to see inside. So if you are down in the Margaret River wine region this long weekend don't forget to pop in and say" Hello". The markets are on in The Town Square this weekend to which is an added bonus. We look forward to seeing you soon. Don't forget our school holiday classes are nearly booked out so make sure you get your spot.

Bangkok here we come!!

Well Hello Again,
I am at the airport in Stockholm, Sweden. So we are then heading to Copenhagen for a few hours then off to Bangkok for some well earned shopping time!!! Can't wait!! I managed to get a very cool dress, stockings and jacket on my journey yesterday.
We had an amazing time in Stockholm and it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Last night we went to a theatre production which was fantastic!!! Can't wait to show you the photos. Today we took a tour throught The Vasa Museum. I must say I didn't find any scrap shops in Stockholm but I am sure there were some.
We are missing Lilli heaps and look forward to seeing her soon with the multitude of presents we are collecting along the way.
Bye for now and keep on Scrapping.
Kareena
PS Don't forget not long till we open!!!!

From Sweden!!!

Hi All
Well as we speak we are situated 200km from The North Pole!!! Pretty Cool Hey!! The weather has been nice so far on the trip. It took us 26 hours travelling time so I am still trying to catch up on the sleep.
Yes I did Scrap on the plane on the way over to kill some time. Make sure you drop in at the new shop and I will show you the plane creation using the fantastic MM Travel Range and a Maya Road chipboard book........amazing what you can do with limited product and no scissors. Just waiting to find a photo shop to print off the photos so I can complete on the journey home.
I have managed to find 2 scrap stores but not much to report. Scrapping is very new in Sweden and they are a little behind with the papers!!
So today we are off to the Cab Volvo factory then we are going to have some fun with the "Funny Car" program this arvo.
Hope you are all doing well, I am going to check my blog again in the next few days so feel free to leave messages I would love to hear from you.
Bye from SWEDEN
