I've missed these faces!

YAY! Reunited with our gorgeous daughter and her boyfriend after 3 months apart.  They have been having the time of their lives volunteering with a group called Soft Power Education in Uganda.  We've followed their blog and chatted on Skype but it's just not the same as having a hug!  I plan to make the most of  my time with them over the next 2 weeks we have together. london Here's those little journal box and travel log stamps again from the Wanderful WOTG kit.  I added the cute heart cluster from t…

Colouring in is so much fun!

I have always joked that my teaching degree was a Diploma in cutting and colouring.  I studied in the pre-computer age and majored in early childhood education so I made a LOT of charts in my day.  I LOVED it and always found colouring so restful.  It's good to know some things don't change.  With the introduction of the Shin Han Touch Twin Markers this month I can get my colouring fix once again. What a Hoot SOTM & Shin Han Markers The markers come in 24 colours, feature a fine tip and a chisel tip on each pen and are blendable.…

When it's a cat!

This clever idea is one shared by a fellow consultant, Doris Taylor, at a recent consultant crop day.  Having a tendency to crazy cat lady behaviours myself, I couldn't resist making up a couple for this card.  I plan to send it to a lady I have recently met - I know we are going to become firm friends.

Celebrate!

sept-2-pages-page-007
The first thing I thought of when I saw the Kaboom Stamp of the Month was fireworks.  For me fireworks mean New Years Eve celebrations.  We had a very quiet night in for New Year last year, watching a Robbie Williams concert and the telecast from Sydney leading up to their fireworks.  So, my only photos of the night are a dodgy selfie and a snap of the TV screen!
