Statue

We went for a walk on the waterfront in Queenstown on Saturday Morning and we got a big fright when this statue started moving next to us. We had lots of fun later watching everyone else get frights too as we ate delicious icecream from Patagonia - the girls had a chocolate one and I had lavender and honey. Ethan didn't get any as he hadn't eaten his lunch. I took home some of the handmade chocolate - dark chocolate & chilli; dark chocolate & lavender; dark chocolate & rose petals - all were stunning and immensely enjoyable later! Posted by Picasa

Yum the ice cream sounds delicious. Poor Ethan you must be a strong mum to be so firm wish I was more like that with mine.

My mum was with me so I had to stick to what I said! The girls were very kind (felt sorry for him) & gave him licks of theirs! He didn't actually seem to mind too much though.

Yep, poor Ethan. But good on you for sticking to your guns! They do learn. Now if only I could get Elliot to eat fruit and veges (other than potatoes and bananas!)

Loved your paperbag album Lara ... been waiting for you to post a copy on your blog - hint, hint - now Up2Scrap has hit the stores.
Congrats to Katya as well; just think, there you were 'thinking' how brave people were being, submitting their work and you go and get published! Even better!

Purging

The stuff can take over.  My stuff was covering my work surface and much of the bedroom floor.  I had to do a big sort out. I was brutal.   Stuff...ready to go. I packaged it in some storage totes I had that needed a new home (I’m waiting for my new CTMH travel system to arrive) and listed it on s local trading site.  It’s gone now. It doesn’t look pretty but I have a desk space and things are organised. The rest of my supplies now fit in this cupboard. Since the ‘purge’ I have had the space to create.  It feels good and it’s great to be able to get to my desk. A few pages made since the tidy up...and a box of 20 cards!

digital scrapbooking

I have been asked by a couple of friends via facebook about digital scrapbooking...what it is, how to and some sites etc. I thought I'd put a post here about it and send them here (just click on the purple coloured words and you'll head to the site I'm talking about). Essentially digital scrapbooking is using digital 'elements' to create scrapbook pages all on your computer, they can be saved as jpegs and printed on your home printer or through a photo developer, or you can just save them to a disc & can share them easily via email, flickr or even facebook! OK, design software, I use gimp because it's free! You can download trials of photoshop , photoshop elements and Creative Suite if you think you might like to purchase some slightly more user friendly software...There are other software options, but photoshop seems to be a main one. Edited to add: Quick pages.... basically the page is made for you and you just put your photo into it....check out this...
