yes i know i have been a bad blogger....do i need a note...???
firstly a big thank you to the girls who offered their support after my last post.
although i am not sure that chris coming over to "give me a good belting" constitutes support - i am truly grateful to you all for taking the time to comment and offer support.
well not much has been happening. i have made a start on a tribute album for a friend who had to have her beloved pet dog put down. i am really happy with how it is turning out and i hope my friend is too. i have basically put the title and pic on each page and embellished it and left spaces for her to do the journalling.
today i went to a scrap/card making day organised by my lss. it was held in a VERY hot hall about 5 minutes out of town and even though i didn't know anyone else there it was a lovely day.
a VERY delish morning tea and lunch were provided and the group of about 19 women (most of them were card makers) was divided in half and each group did a different class in each session.
lots of stamping - which i always find a bit of a challenge - stamping and i get on as well as pastry making and i get on - NOT AT ALL...!!!
but the other ladies who did know what they were doing were very helpful.
it never ceases to amaze me that this form art that we love seems to bring out the best in people most of the time (although i have been hearing mutterings of discontent between some of the online forums again - hope it doesn't get out of control again - EEEK !!!)
as silly as i felt that i can't seem to stick some ink on a stamp and plonk it on a piece of card and get a clear image, not one of these women looked down on me and at one stage i had to stand up for air as three or four women crowded around me looking to help.
it was just a really feel good day.
julie, the lss owner, had planned some great classes. her friend julie (just to make it interesting as there were 4 julies there today) taught the first class and what an amazing woman she is.
the examples she brought in were breath taking, jaw dropping and any other superlative i can use here.
she gave us lots of good ideas and i never cease to be amazed at how many different ways there are to do things and make things look special when you are a scrapper or a card maker.
we all started with the same base products and what was created was so different for everyone.
it was too late to take pics of what i did after i got home so i will take some pics tomorrow and post them if anyone would care to have a look.
debra, the owner of tca, is hoping to call in here tomorrow for a visit. how nervous am i to be meeting her as she is kinda my "boss" as i am on the dt for tca. it will be great to finally meet her though.
well daylight savings is over for a few months tomorrow morning at 2 a.m. and it will be so nice to wake up in daylight. i am hoping to start back on my morning walks - i never felt comfortable walking in the dark. the physio has recommended walking as good therapy for my knee. plus i might be able to start and shift this weight a bit faster. i noticed the other day that my work skirt has become quite loose so hopefully i can really make a concerted effort and drop some of this weight.
wishing you all a happy tomorrow and for those of us who have been living an hour ahead of ourselves for the past few months....enjoy your sleep in.
