the other trees


here's the other tree project I mentioned last post.... the words on the blue strip relate to a verse in the bible Jeremiah 17:7-8. I like trees a lot at the moment! This measures 30 inches wide by 12 inches high & sits above a wooden desk in the family room (just to the left of our front door). Have plans for a 'house' layout for above the china cabinet... & thinking of another idea that I'll use as a 'workshop' at our next retreat: Creative Inspiration South... am going to put an update over there soon as we've made changes to the cost with one of our team continuing to be unwell... we are going to relax it a lot!

I finally made a start on the actual creating of my 'all about me' books for the kids (a la Nic H)... have done the cover pages. I'm doing them 8 x 9 inches, will laminate the pages & bind them together with the bind-it-all.

Mmmm with my tree love, I'm hanging out for Andrea to feel well enough to upload the new Love Elsie Forrest papers that Vicky has posted pics of on the SBO Blog...

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!

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!
