a stamp

On one of my many blog adventures I visited Chris's blog. She had a RAK going & I put a number in a comment - guess what - my number got the RAK! I'm getting a stamp made of my name - cool huh!!? I had admired Chris's name stamp on an earlier visit to her blog & now I'm getting one too! Cath @ Stamp Search is making it for me.

I've just moved the computer into the family room - it's getting too cold through the house - this way I can play (& check out all these blogs - you never know what you might learn, find, discover, win) & keep an eye on Mr 3!

Thanks heaps for the RAK Chris - so looking forward to it in my mailbox - how long does stuff take to get from OZ anyway?

Till later!

Congrats on winning the stamp. I'm thinking I might like a stamp or two from there.

Oh cool! I love those stamps!
You will probably get it as fast as you would within NZ!!

Takes about a week for Tarisota to arrive although ordered some ribbon from another shop in Oz more than a month ago still not here. But I'm sure that will not happen. Lucky you.

Random act of kindness.

I'm so glad you're excited about the stamp Lara! I think it depends where abouts you live in NZ. When I send things to Rach (Taranaki) it takes about a week at the least.

Chris.

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!

Cheese Rolls

Spread sliced bread with Cheese Spread (see below). Roll up. Toast in oven & serve hot. These may be frozen and heated when required! cheese spread: 1pkt onion soup; 500g tasty cheese - grated; a 400g tin of evaporated milk; Put all ingredients in a saucepan and heat slowly until cheese melts and mixture thickens. Stir well. When cool store in jars in the fridge for sandwhiches etc or put in your cheese rolls! Yep, the Up2Scrap Elite Design team has been announced - soo privileged & excited to be a part of it. Congrats to Donna , Rach , Lianne , Trina & Sue & thanks Steph & Jo for the opportunity:-) We have been in Invercargill overnight - nice to get away even if it is only for a night! We went to Queens Park & the Museum/Art Gallery today & the Art Gallery Cafe served these cheese rolls -yum! Such a lower South Island thing - but soo good! 

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...
