Blue, Blue, Electric Blue - that's the colour of my room...

"Just when you think it can't get any worse, it can.  And just when you think it can't get any better, it can".  Nicholas Sparks, At First Sight.


Kia ora koutou


.... It was one of those weeks, where everything was blue - a reflection of my mood.  My 'kidults' (James 20 and Louise 19) taught me a hard lesson - letting go and acceptance....it hurt like a mofo, even now just blogging about it :(  Thanks to my family and friends for caring, your love and support got me through it.


Even though it was a bit of a traumatic week for me - I managed to complete a few projects...Joined The Paper Peacock crew - I will be teaching card-making classes weekly on Mondays.  Attended an interview for part-time work with Statistics New Zealand for the position of Census Collector.  Presented my second-ever demonstration at Zoe's Stampin' Up! Workshop - it was fun....wonderful creative friends having a good time - makes me love my job so much more, it's not even like a job?....so much fun, just sharing what you love to do :)

...Big Curly Hair Stampin Projects

I have finally done it!  Crossed over to the 'darkside' (lol) and created my first scrapbook page.  It was fantastic, thoroughly enjoyable, challenging - I can see why so many people are hooked on scrapbooking!

 Love Your Smile


Ryan - my best friend, love of my life, soul mate...his smile lights up my world.  It was a fantastic photo to work with, I pulled the base colour  from the chair Ryan's sitting on - Midnight Muse.  I journaled a poem by Gary LaFollette called - 'Your The Person I Always Dreamed Of Loving'. This is dedicated to my love, Ryan <3

Mini Waterfall Album and Business Card Wallet

This fantastic mini waterfall album featuring my two beautiful son's - Xavier and Bronson, was a whole heap of fun and very easy to make.  I followed Kelly Gettlefinger's tutorial on youtube click here for the mini waterfall album tutorial.  With the cut off, I also made a business card wallet (also shown how to make in the tutorial).

















I don't know why, but - when I uploaded the photos, some of them came out disoriented (like they have a mind of their own) and there is no option to fix it... the photo of the open wallet is upside down, but you get the idea.
