See you there!

Sisters, not twins!

Hey...someone thought Bin & I were twins!




Yeah, we look a bit alike, but really! Here we are last week accepting the Certificate of appreciation from the Royal Brisbane Women's Hospital Foundation. Amelie looks less than impressed, but she wanted to eat and play, not pose for another round of photos.



I dyed her hair this Wednesday. Lots of blonde & copper foils with a deep red base. Yummy... I did Sharon's Thurday. Dark red and caramel foils with a dark brown base. Rocking! Mine looks dull now. Darn.


Hope you have a nice weekend,
Jane

Need some old stuff?

Sometimes my powers of description (or lack thereof) amaze even me!

At class last Saturday Glenda mentioned she was after sheets of old music to use in a project. A few of us mentioned looking in second hand stores in the magazines and books sections as this has proved very successful for a few of us, me included. The Lifeline booksale at the Convention centre is another goody.

Then I tried to say a knew a website with vintage resources - which came out as "old stuff". The ex-english teacher in me shuddered, the busy, distracted scrapbooking teacher in me laughed.

Anyway thanks to Gwenyth who put me onto this one YEARS ago! Thanks Miss G.

Try http://www.art-e-zine.co.uk/vintageresources.html

There are plenty of old postcards, ads, etc and the site is extensive so you need browsing time to find just what you want. There is some very cute "old stuff" there!

Happy being vintage,

Jane

Aunty aunty aunty! Oi oi oi!

I was woken this morning by "Aunty! Aunty! Aunty!"


Amelie was calling out my name because she saw my photo on the fridge and I wasn't out of bed to see her. Apparently when Belinda enters our street she starts saying the same thing.


Ahhh, these are the joys of auntyhood.



Needless to say I got up. So far we've done all the normal stuff - breakfast, talking, animal noises, singing, playing, reading and inspecting our jewellery. Yes, she has her own bangles. She is, afterall, MY niece. All this before 9.30am.


Bub is going into the city with her grandparents today. Aunty might go for a rest later on the aforementioned bed so she can cope with the afternoon session of play.


Have a great day whatever you are doing,
Jane

Feeling the vibe!

Saturday's classes at Stamp Art Studio were fantastic fun! Thanks to all the ladies who attended - though I only took 2 photos in the first class - we were very busy scrapping our 'art' out all day.

I love the comment "I got 7 pages done! It takes me a month to get one done by myself!" My pleasure.

I look forward to getting on with a bit of new scrapping for me this week...I have ideas swirling around in the ideas box and I've got that creative vibe!

Feeling the call,

Jane
