we just had one incredible hail storm. Matthew’s room started leaking – buckets collected 5cmish of water, matthew had to get up on the roof in the rain and hail to clear the roof, to stop the leaking. Outside it is just white like a snow storm, we have not had hail like this in probably ten years. On our back cement it is/was close to 8cm deep. Lots of hail. ABC News Story 
bye, bye Shelley.
I just saw this post over in the CG board – Shelley Laming Forever. So sad 🙁 my kraft cs and inking and random advice girl is gone 🙁
It is a sad day. Always love seeing Shelley’s work. Best of wishes for the future Shelley and family.
does this come in pink?
Canon 300D/350D – with some "make-up" on. Ohh I could go a dark pink or perhaps even a candy pink to match my shoes or wallet. IF/when I buy a second SLR, so having the back-up air-brushed. mmmm so so pretty.
a new necklace
I love creating, be it photos, food, scrapbook pages, or other random things I create. The other night I was painting on a project with a mix of Lumiere Super Sparkle and Flamingo Pink Pearl-Ex, never one to let excess paint go to waste, I for some reason grabbed a Making Memories Vellum Tag and let loose covering the vellum with the paint, then rummaged through my drawers for a Sonnets Poemstone, add an eyelet and some jump rings and here it is.
I wore it on Thursday when I visited Emma at work and then shopping at Scrap That, it is always fun wearing a necklace that is different to the norm, the comments are always great 🙂
The great thing about vellum tags for necklaces is they are so easy to make and change with your mood and outfit 🙂
so fitting.
Sean and I were mucking about with my camera last night and the very last one was this one. Then I stumbled across the quote in the book I am reading at the moment – Abounding Grace (I love this book so much, I am going to have to buy it) It is quotes with thoughts and ideas by the collector, just so great.
“It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.” – Agatha Christie.
The letter H
Today’s post is brought to you by the letter H.
H for “The Helens”
I had such a fun but tiring time at the craft show working with Helen and Fiskars. For the two days that I helped Helen out in the workshops, she introduced us as Helen Williams and Helen Palsson, so just say Helen and you are going to get one if not two of us. It was lots of fun. I made new friends, had sore feet, learnt new things, bought new things and really just had a total blast, from helping out Helen in the workshop to becoming an honorary Scrap That girl with cap since I hanged out there so much, at one stage I was even doing demos for them in my lunch break and everything in between. Ohh and can’t forget Carolyne, a Melbourne Pea who came up to work for Express Publications on their stand, super cool to meet her.
H for Happy day
Today is the Labour Day public holiday so Sean and his family had planned on a trip down the coast for a BBQ and a spot of fishing. Except it rained on and off all day/night so it was called off and the BBQ was held at Sean’s place instead. The whole crew bar Ken was there so there was 12 of us, chatting, laughing, eating and playing. Lots of fun and happy times.
Happy for Emma, winning her basketball game tonight, giving me a list of songs to make a mix CD for her and me discovering some super cool songs, for rambles 🙂
Happy for getting some exercise, Sean and I took the dogs out this noon for an hour or so of jogging, walking and running, the exercise was great and the dogs loved it.
Happy creating and organising my creating stuff, working on deadlines, happy creating and no uni tomorrow 🙂
