A weekend with "Becky Higgins Project Life party"

Hellooo..

*** Just a note.. grab a coffee or tea and get comfy , this is a photo heavy post ***

Well after all the comings and goings of the National Scrapbook day I thought I would finally catch up and share about my fabulous day at the Becky Higgins Project Life party..

So I knew for a while ( and so did the whole of Australia) that Becky Higgins was coming to Australia with Heidi Swapp for a Spotlight tour. Yup I know for sure that I and half the nation were pretty darn excited about this!! Soooo when Becky announced that through Craft House ( a Project Life distributor) that she was going to throw an exclusive Project Life party , I was over the mood kind of excited.. you know the kind ??

But then as life would have it or me I was unable to financially afford to go , as the part was a state away in Sydney. Bummer...

But then a silver lining happened... Jot magazine run by the super talented Kim Archer were actually giving away ticket to one lucky winner.. I entered and WON. woot woot.. I would be lying if I said I did not cry when I read the email from Kim.. I was having a really tough week and this was just amazing and so timely or me !! 

I knew that one of my very good friends Marissa was going to the party so I was even MORE excited that I was going to have a girlie day out with her!! She is one of the most beautiful souls around and is so inspiring in every way to have around.. 

So our day started with a SUPER early start.. 1 am or me to make the 5am flight from Brisbane , and I swung past Marissa's place to whisk her away at 3 am..

Don't we look fresh for a 3am start :) 

The flight it self was really fast and to watch the sunrise from up in the sky was something else.. just stunning.. 

Then as we flew into Sydney airport Marissa and I met up with a bunch of other awesome Project Lifers that I was so lucky to meet through the Project Life Australia Facebook group.. 

Such an awesome bunch of ladies.. 

The wheels on the bus go round and round.. Thanks so much Beth or the photo :) 

The bus ride there was totally full of excitement and laughter and then I must admit I got annoyed by the HUGE turn out of Sydney morning traffic... YUK... it could not end soon enough.. 

We made it to the party just in the nic of time which was the most important thing and I was so grateful and excited to meet Kim Archer ( in the middle) and Lisa Pate.. both from Jot Magazine. 

These two ladies were totally my kinda jelly... I did little scrapping and more laughing than anything at these two!!! 

I was also really lucky to meet up with Ruth Bonser from Polly! Scrap kits.. She is also totally my type of Jelly.. I am so lucky that she has become a good friend of mine through this amazing scrapbooking world!!

The room was full of inspirational ladies on all different paths of the Project Life journey but it was sure evident that we all had the same underlying commitment to " Cultivate a Good Life" and to document that .

Becky was ever gracious and made sure that she took the time to come around to each and every single one of us to have a chat and of course to snap a photo or two. 

Through out the day she shared with all of us her story and her philosophy behind why she started Project Life.. I aint going to lie again as I did shed a tear or two at how much her story resonated with me and why I also choose to document my life..In a nut shell ???? Because my story is worthy of sharing and documenting.. 

I had a fabulous day and walking away from the day made me love what I do even more so..

 I literally found "my people" that day!! You know the ones that fill your heart with happiness, get what you are about and share the same loves and passions ???? yep they are your people.. grab them surround yourself with them.. I swear ( apart from my family) " my people" make my life so rich and full!! 

Lastly I wanted to share with you a little freebie that I scored for attending the Project Life party.. The exclusive Aqua Core Kit that I believe is only available to us here in Australia.. 

The cards in this pack are STUNNING.. the colours are vibrant and the quotes are totally inspiring .. I especially the one that says " this too shall pass" ..sigh I need to remember that a lot..

Because I know some of you are chomping at the bit to get your hands on this exclusive kit I have decided to give away 2 partial mini kits pulled from my core kit.. I will guarantee that each little kit will come with at least one card from each set.. :) So how to win this prettiness I hear you ask ????

Well one of three ways.. yep 3 chances to win ( odds are pretty darn good)..Here are the deets.. You can do one or all of the steps.. the more you do the more chance you have of winning..
