a new necklace

I love creating, be it photos, food, scrapbook pages, or other random things I create. The other night I was painting on a project with a mix of Lumiere Super Sparkle and Flamingo Pink Pearl-Ex, never one to let excess paint go to waste, I for some reason grabbed a Making Memories Vellum Tag and let loose covering the vellum with the paint, then rummaged through my drawers for a Sonnets Poemstone, add an eyelet and some jump rings and here it is.

I wore it on Thursday when I visited Emma at work and then shopping at Scrap That, it is always fun wearing a necklace that is different to the norm, the comments are always great πŸ™‚

 The great thing about vellum tags for necklaces is they are so easy to make and change with your mood and outfit πŸ™‚

no longer

do I need to scour the streets for a friendly or not-so friendly copper with an RBT Patrol. On the way home from work tonight I was waved into an RBT station. Such a short interaction, have you had anything to drink tonight mam? No, ok just blow into the tube till I say stop. I breathed and breathed and then he said you are fine to go. I had sort of been wanting to see how long I could go without an RBT but now I have had one. I thought of ringing Sean to tell him but settled on an SMS instead.

 But if I was drinking I think I would want to find an old Mac to make this. Apple G3 Beer Server, how very cool!

so fitting.

Sean and I were mucking about with my camera last night and the very last one was this one. Then I stumbled across the quote in the book I am reading at the moment – Abounding Grace (I love this book so much, I am going to have to buy it) It is quotes with thoughts and ideas by the collector, just so great.

It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.” – Agatha Christie.

late night runs

slurppeEarlier this evening, whilst in the middle of creating some new "things" for me to play with I had the sudden urge for a slurpee, so I go ask Matthew if he wants one, I sure do he replies, I gather my supplies for the mission, I ask Matthew to go watch TV, so I have some light outside getting to the car, I belt up and drive down to 7-11, park and walk in on a mission for two slurpees. I walk up to the "fountain" and oh to my beating heart there is no lemon or lime just Cola, Raspberry, Orange and Honeycombe! Honeycombe, I tell you who thought of that. I put a smidgen of honeycombe in the bottom of mine to tast it – argh not getting that again. I pay the cashier, saunter back to the car and drive home. It is a struggle to get out of the car with two slurpees, lock it and close the door.

Thoughts lists for the Day.

Big hug for Gina

Big cheer for Emma and her guy.

Big congrats to Matthew for his uni results.

Big wishes for Barb and her new adventure

The letter H

Today’s post is brought to you by the letter H.

H for “The Helens”
I had such a fun but tiring time at the craft show working with Helen and Fiskars. For the two days that I helped Helen out in the workshops, she introduced us as Helen Williams and Helen Palsson, so just say Helen and you are going to get one if not two of us. It was lots of fun. I made new friends, had sore feet, learnt new things, bought new things and really just had a total blast, from helping out Helen in the workshop to becoming an honorary Scrap That girl with cap since I hanged out there so much, at one stage I was even doing demos for them in my lunch break and everything in between. Ohh and can’t forget Carolyne, a Melbourne Pea who came up to work for Express Publications on their stand, super cool to meet her.

H for Happy day
Today is the Labour Day public holiday so Sean and his family had planned on a trip down the coast for a BBQ and a spot of fishing. Except it rained on and off all day/night so it was called off and the BBQ was held at Sean’s place instead. The whole crew bar Ken was there so there was 12 of us, chatting, laughing, eating and playing. Lots of fun and happy times.

Happy for Emma, winning her basketball game tonight, giving me a list of songs to make a mix CD for her and me discovering some super cool songs, for rambles πŸ™‚

Happy for getting some exercise, Sean and I took the dogs out this noon for an hour or so of jogging, walking and running, the exercise was great and the dogs loved it.

Happy creating and organising my creating stuff, working on deadlines, happy creating and no uni tomorrow πŸ™‚
