cool quote site

ThinkExist Quotes
I found this cool quote site the other day, all the sites I had visited before, allowed you to browse by author or topic but never by key words. That is right, key words. It rocks so much. Instead of having to Google thousands of sites, I just pop onto ThinkExist pick my key word and away I go.

I can see myself using a lot more quotes in my creating now, that I have this site in my toolbox.

So, today I share with you this quote that I picked up from the raw category.

“I remain unchanged, defiantly unchanged. Let the raw material stay rough and raw.”

John W. Warner

Tomorrow I am off to the Brisbane Paper Arts show with some friends. ๐Ÿ™‚

roughly half

I was speaking with my degree convener today, who is also my lecturer/tutor for my favourite subject this semester and he said roughly half of the 35 students who start off in first year graduate. Well that narrows down the people competing for jobs.

A sales assistant in Myers today told me that my degree sounds exactly like what Australia needs more of. Yay!

Go Tracy!

A dear friend of mine Tracy Robinson, is making me incredibly proud, she has started selling her digital scrapbooking kits at Scrapbook Elements. Go check them out!

Tracy was one of the people who inspired me so much when I first moved away from Creative Memories, and still today continues to inspire me with her impeccable design and type skills. You can see her work here and here. I am proud to call her my friend now.

I am so happy for Tracy to be embarking on this new venture of not only Digital Scrapbooking but the making of kits as well.

Go Tracy!

happy, content

I visited Barb today before going to Sean’s. Happy is the one word I could use to describe her. Utterly and Magically Happy. I think of Barb and I think Happy. Happy with her weight loss, with her re-found passion for scrapbooking, with her delight with blogging.

Really it’s just like a scrapbook page, just print off the blogging, whack it on a page and add some paper and zip-de-do, a scrapbook page. (Part of a conversation we had today).

2005march12windowshoot_2 We were talking in the lounge and Barb exclaimed about the light in my eyes. Out came the camera and we spent the next good while, taking photos, of each other and the kids.  This is one of my favourites that Barb took of me. It is just me, unbrushed hair, fake tooth, red cheeks, just me. Big thanks to Barb for a great midday and a Happy Day.

Content, that is what I am, Sean and I saw Million Dollar Baby tonight, so utterly not what we expected it to be like, I was thinking something like Girlfight with Michelle Rodriguez but more drama. Wow what a movie, the turn of events in Las Vegas was something neither of us were expecting, I spent the rest of the movie with tears parachuting down my cheeks.

I shared a glace with Sean at one part during the movie and just had an utter wave of contentedness take over my body. I am so content with where I am and with Sean.

Happy and Content.

"Happiness consists not in having much, but in being content with little."  Marguerite Gardiner
