creating


gotta love term break... two posts in one week!
I created fossick using some of the Ki lace paper from Scrapbook Outlet and some scraps from my overflowing pizza box, really enjoyed stamping onto the different textures with some of the big fancy pants swrily stamps that I got at SENZ South last year (was given them after using them for some make & takes I set up for Scrapbook Outlet) I have been busy putting class stuff together for SENZ in Welly later this year over the last couple of days - so sweet and twinkly!


This layout is such 'an everyday moment'. It's in the friday night challenge at Sketchbook which was all about the 'everyday' Nic H style. This story still makes me giggle.

well honey is from honey bees and so butter is from butterflies. :) And jam is made from jamborees.

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!

a catch up

Spent last night in Invers. We had a family dinner for dh's Nanny. We did a brief shop @ Farmers (none in the Wakatip) & went to Splash Palace this morning & BK for lunch (there's no BK here either!). Here are my 21 Challenge pages for the last three days. The hardest one was the Eleanor Roosevelt quote as I'm not sure what scares me - other than a lingering death while my children are still young, or one of them or dh being harmed in some way but even then I have a faith that gives me hope & assurance of a future. So I decided to apply this to my art or my creating - to try something new each day - even if it scares me. Day 4's quote was a goodie - I find that I make decisions all the time & this confirms that I am 'qualified' to make them. I used the pic of Katya for Day 6 as her blowing dandilion heads across the play area indicates this freedom & exploration of the world around. Watching her reminds me of the beauty & wonder al...
