Jase Jumping


not base jumping!
The result of falling 8 - 9 metres from a flying marquee, mary poppins style is a dislocated knee and a femoral condial fracture...rather messy and painful. Almost as painful was the three day wait for acute surgery and the Nil By Mouth each of those days until dinner time...how is a man meant to heal with no nutrition (what he got to eat when he did wasn't really nutritional either), sharing a 4 bedder room and only being allowed visitors between 2 & 8 pm...even one of the other patients had difficulty getting back into the ward with the receptionist telling her off for being in outside visiting hours...till the patient told her she was an 'inmate' and flashed her id bracelet! Really appreciative of the support we received from my mum who looked after the kids (met us in Invervegas when I got there in my car - Jase was in the ambulance), from Leith and Andrea who gave me a bed to sleep on each night, Barbara for feeding the cat and hens and the Waitiri Team who carried on with the Gibbston Harvest Festival in Jase's absence! Thank You.

We also had offers of help from lots of others, thank you also.

I am acutely aware of why I decided nursing wasn't for me after I'd completed my degree and registration.

On more interesting notes - do you like creme eggs? Well, at Andrea's, they have this lolly truck....and apparently she is going to be giving stuff away (and apparently not just chocolate) this coming Friday - to be announced in the forum of Scrapbook Outlet.... so make sure you are registered in the forum so you can discover just what is happening...I don't know either....intriguing!

Ow ow ow
I hope the healing goes well, and I know he'll get nutritionally well attended to ;)

Audio books might be something to look at getting out from the library to make a change from other sorts of entertainment.

New Grad

This month I used the 'Sunshine Vibes' bundle to create this layout for the Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team. Using die cuts to create stencils is a favourite way to create backgrounds for my scrapbook layouts. This bundle allowed me to do this and then to back some of the die cuts with in colour DSP.  Puffy hearts and fussy cut flowers add dimension. If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator already and want the supplies I have used, please visit: https://laramoss.stampinup.net and head to the shop to look for: Sunshine Vibes Bundle Mini Alphabet Dies Florals in Bloom DSP

Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team - applications are open!

  I am half way through my year as an Artisan Design Team Member with Stampin' Up! and applications are currently open for Stampin' Up! Demonstrators to apply.  I have enjoyed this opportunity, the creative experiences, the teams I get to work with and the lovely supplies we are given (always exciting to see new design briefs and what arrives in my Artisan boxes). Over on Instagram, the current team is running a hop where we are all documenting in some way, what it has meant to be an Artisan. Look up @scrappykea to check out the links to the rest of the teams projects. You can see my project coming together and hear me talk a bit about the Artisan Journey in this video : If you live in New Zealand and want some of the creative supplies I have used in this project, please head to:  https://laramoss.stampinup.net/   Supplies used in this project: Two-Toned Cardstock: Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Darling Duckling, Summer Splash, Timid Tiger Designer Series Paper: Turtle-y C...
