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!

blenheim

We are currently in Blenheim. Have been doing some of the wineries - a work trip for Jase - we just get to go along! I'v been playing with some of the phaunt actions by Kylie Banks- my faves are phaunt magic instant & then beastly colour. Got the links from an online class at Scrapbook Outlet with Mandi Haynes. above: Katya on a walk in Waikari with Jases parents. Below - Harold the older giraffe at Orana Park, just before I met Vicki & checked out the stamping up catalogue. Jase & I joined a winery tour today - was a great way to meet some different people & to see & learn a little bit about some of the local wineries. Feel quite isolated without my home internet connection though!

thunderpants inspired

Here it is Karen - inspired by thunderpants! Had fun doodling. Love that I found that quote - fits the pic very aptly! Got my hands on clean & simple the sequel by Cathy Z today - such a good read so far!!! Also got a letter from Pride Publishing - they want one of my A-Z Lo's for publication in issue 44 - so exciting (just wish I live with a bunch of scrappers who understand what this means to me - but then I 'd have to share my stash!). Donna also got a letter - congrats Donna! (her links down to the lower right of my blog) To all those scrap camping - this weekend - hope it's a good one at whichever camp you are at. I'm looking forward to mine next weekend!
