the seasider


I think I posted some pics of our seasider train trip a while back....here's a layout I have done with a couple of the photos :-) Used some of the We R Memory Keepers Paper I got from SBO a few weeks ago, have wanted to use it for ages and finally found a use.

Retreat planning underway and some really cool treats in varying stages of completion!
Jase aka Chef Moss is dreaming up our menu for the Saturday night 'special' dinner.

Had a nice relaxed Queens Birthday Weekend finished off last night with pizza for dinner at a friends. Alicia's netball team got their 2nd goal this week for the season...don't laugh too much...it's funny to watch and they try so hard and are enjoying it...even if the other team got 24 goals! Our new aim is for them to get a goal per half rather than just 'a goal'!

Busy teaching, have picked up another class for an hour each day which I'm loving. Have taken a couple of Playcentre Workshops too for the adults wanting to gain skills for teaching at the Playcentres and have 3 more coming up this weekend and next week. Love that I still get to be a 'part' of Playcentre and I haven't had to leave it completely:-)

Smiles.

Go Alicia and her team - isn't it s shame when the teams in a league are mis-matched. We've had that in lots of sports. We just remind them to have fun. Hope she is enjoying it.

Sounds like you have been busy Lara. I do love the layout. Love those papers too. Good on Alicia for hanging in there and enjoying the game anyway -

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!

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!
