this is sean.

I realised the other day that I often post photos of other people or things but I don’t think I have of Sean. Well here is one. This is Sean Gordon. This is the guy who makes me happy. Who makes me breakfast. This is they guy who lets me take endless photos of him πŸ™‚ This is my guy

In the morning, the kitchen at Sean’s house is full of wonderful natural light, this was taken the other weekend.

This map reminds me of a tag I made a while ago – I dream of … The journalling reads: I dream of colour in Chile. I dream of Crabtree & Evelyn in London. I dream of music in Cuba. I dream of the spiced air of Morocco. I dream of glass in Venice. I dream of lush grass in the Swiss Alps. I dream of ceramics in the Middle East. I dream of cherry blossoms in Japan. I dream of sunsets in Tahiti. I dream of nights on the Russian tundra. I dream of tea in India. I dream of bagels in NYC. I dream of soccer in Brazil. I dream of frescos in Italy. I dream of limes in Florida. I dream of hope in Somalia. I dream of family in Iceland. I dream of the unknown in Athens, WV. I dream of wildflowers in WA. I dream of laughter in Vietnam. I dream of solitude in Nepal. I dream of the World. I dream of every grain of sand to every leaf to every person. I dream of a place I have so much more to discover. I dream of the World. I dream of living the World. Where have you been?

another day at the office.

Worked at Fiskars again yesterday, was on the stand demoing the products. It has been quite interesting to see how people want different things demoed each day, one day it is all about the ScrapBoss and ShapeCutter and then the other day it is all about border punches and texture plates and of course the Shape Cutter.
Today and tommorow I am not working on the stand though but in the class room with Helen Williams helping out. Going to be lots of work with the workshoppers.
Two of the classes are layouts and the other is a super cute little tag book.
I want to spend some better time today going round the shops, I need to pick up a new cutting mat and I want to have a look at some of the beads I have seen.

52 weeks ago I met Sean for the first time. 51 weeks ago we started dating πŸ™‚

max

is a black lab, that Sean’s dad was given for his birthday. Now most of the time I like Max. Sure he does have problems knowing where he is meant to go to the toilet but he will get over that. But why, why does he have to chew everything around him when he is alone or at night? The other day he and his partner in crime Zack were accidently locked out the back at Sean’s house.

So what could possibly be more fun then to jump on Sean’s bet to get to the shelf where he keeps all his cool stuff; photos, scotch, event and move tickets, and the little things I have made him over our last 51 wks and do all we can to chew it all to shreds?

I had made Sean a little stencil name box for his birthday to keep stuff in, so in it was the various tags I have made him, the mini book I made him for valentine’s day, tickets to the movies, games and concerts we have gone to. Well Mr Max decided that that box was perfectly fine to chew to shreds. Not happy with you Max. Not happy with you at all.

Not only did he/they have a good chew of Sean’s stuff but also a lot of Michael’s stuff and theu decided they didn’t like the colour of the carpet, so lets rip up that some more. I like dogs mostly but I don’t think I could ever have a dog.

Shirley MacLaine

The real simple thought of the day.

Dwelling on the negative simply contributes to its power.
Ò€” Shirley MacLaine

We have to think positively otherwise we let the negative get us down again and again.

mid-semesters

I just got the results back from a mid-semester I did last friday. I was quite worried when I came out, as I knew I had not prepared very well for the exam, much to my delight when I saw my results – 83% for the 4th highest mark in the class! 39/45 for the multipe choice and 44/55 for the essay – What different kinds of ethnic groups are there in Australian society? How has the ethnic composition of Australia changed over the last two centuries? so happy!
