...the latest Up2scrap mag, I ask because I'm very proud to feature in it. What a thrilling way to end my year! I must say though that I have 'big boots' to full because the work in each issue of the Up2scrap magazine is wonderful...hmmm I'm beginning to feel a little nervous now.
My congratulations to the other three ladies who made the team, and to the design team members who have moved up the ranks and whom are staying on for 2010. I'm honored to be working along side of you all.
Now that was the bright spot in my week, and lucky it was a big bright spot because other than that, our van has broken down and had to be towed to town (cost of tow was $190 , the down side to living in the country I guess). The plumbing under the wash house and bathroom has run a muck, damage has yet to be assesed and Aimee had to go back to the doctor today for the second time in a week. Turns out that she has probable glandular fever. She feel sick and has bad headaches, seems to spend all of her time being tied even though she is sleeping almost all of the day and night. Tomorrow she has her last exam to sit, fingers crossed she can last the distance!
Ive been busy making my Christmas cards, which is nothing short of a miracle really!
Here's an up to date photo of Bruce Almighty ( I'm only guessing that Bruce is a boy!!?)
Hes almost full grown now, but still does not feed himself, so is still in the aviary with my budgies for that reason. Once he learns how to eat I will be very happy to set him free.
When hes hungry he just opens his mouth wide and squawks loudly,just like this....
I'm sure if you listen carefully you will just about hear him, no matter how far away you live!
Love your theme Carol, it will be such a delightful keepsake
I chose this one, a self portrait. The story says...The sun is shinning The sun is shining on Andrew. Andrew loves the sun these days and it shines on him far too much, I'm afraid that the skin cancer warnings have little effect on him.
I kept my page simple, with layers of basic shapes
and this cute little elephant.
Saturday morning we woke up to a 'heat wave', and a faster pace of day. We had to be in Oamaru by 10.30am for the Victorian Heritage parade. Poor Cam was super hot and sweaty in his uniform.
The Victorian fete is an annual event in Oamaru, with the parade on Saturday and the fete on Sunday.
Check out more Dr Seuss quotes HERE I'm pretty sure there is something there to suit almost everyone.
I wanted to somehow join these photos together for a fun effect
...so after a lot of fiddling this is what I come up with....
It's not perfect, but I like it just the same, Cody quite liked it as well. Camden promptly told me that he could tell it wasn't real !! I had to have a wee chuckle about that, theres no fooling him!!
..now it gets kind of ugly!!!Schools out, but things at the girls hostel are heating up!!
Aimee is looking quite ill here, not sure if it because she has emptied out that bottle!!...or because of the flue she has at the moment. Amazing how her feeling unwell did not damper her festive spirit!
Tomorrow night we have the graduation dinner to go to. Sunday morning we have graduation mass and in the afternoon its graduation speeches and prize giving, so all in all the weekend ahead looks like a busy one!
...and this is what Ive been up to... take note of the garden behind my lovely family
...now look..the same spot ...only bald!! I decided that some of our large garden just had to go. Once the lawn seed grows I will have even more time to scrap and craft. (I hope).
I really enjoyed making these, even though they seemed to take ages to make with all of that hand sewing!
Christine followed the same thought patterns as I did, here is her lovely "Ballroom Frills"
Sharon's card is very elegant, and has loads of tiny detail
and last but by no means least, here is Megan's stunning card
Thanks to you all for creating another lovely collection for me.
Amanda's 'rockstar' is leaping off the card. Super cute Amanda!!
Soph has come up with a wonderful layered number
I have added a little texture using embossing powder and my cuttle bug.
Love the saying and image on Lilli's card
Music is Love, is the title of Ruth's master piece.
Ann has also had her cuttle bug out for 'Happy Days'
and this vintage music card from Sue
Thanks again ladies!
