Lakesleisure

Wahoo, Queenstown has a pool... opens on Sat 31 May... looking forward to doing some lengths on the way home from work...also wondering about the spa's after winter fest opening night for the Creative Inspiration South campers.... Photo above is rubbish as my lens kept steaming up (should have done the put it in a bag thing) but Alicia loves the lazy river!

Now Penny has a 'list' thing going on her blog... for some of her 'eco bags'... loved these last time she had one up for the draw... but I missed out! Happy blog birthday Penny & welcome to the terrible twos...

my list: splendid things
1. a pool for Queenstown
2. planning a weekend of just creating
3. dh vacuuming & mopping the floor
4. my dd finding her sisters poetry book that's been missing for a month
5. the snow capped mountains all around my home with clear skies behind
6. new jammies & slippers for the kids
many, many more things!

so there's a start to my list Penny... do I get in the draw now?

laters.

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...
