You've laughed over the misspoken words of E. Here are the words from J, may you grow to know her through the thoughtful and few words she speaks.
Mulling over post-secondary options:
Here's why it's better not to go poly: you can't go on
mission trips because holidays are different. Besides I don't want everyday to be a fashion show.

Morning Has Broken
I count it a blessing to be greeted by this magnificent sunrise every morning from my front door. With this beauty to start the day, I just know the rest of the day cannot be too bad.
While thinking of a way to frame this photo, I came across a geometric pattern that looks like spiralling rectangles.
After cranking some black cardstock strips through the Sizzix and the On the Edge Postage die, I went to town with Dimensional Pearls, Liquid Pearls and Glimmer Glam, getting my fingers all shiny in the process.
The white foam Thickers were not spared the bling treatment: Glimmer Glaze in Blue, Red and Yellow blended and flowed together to create customised colours for the title.
Hope your day is great!

It's my turn to host a challenge at Made With Love!
I was thinking how some people would flip a coin to make a decision and thought of trying the scrapbooking equivalent. I picked some random objects lying around - five rubber bands and a thick piece of string - and tossed them on a sheet of white cardstock to get my random placement guide:
Do you see a possible "heart" in there?
The layout -
The photos are set on the mesh background with eyelets and the Thicker letters for the title are sewn down with a variety of stitches using twine.
Head on to MWL's gallery to read details about the challenge - looking forward to your participation.

Love the fuzzy blue yarn - but at the rate I'm touching it, it will lose its fuzziness very soon!

Miss Spoken
E: What is this?
Me: A calculator.
E: What is it for?
Me: It's to add really big numbers that you cannot add in your head. (Seeding an early idea not to over-rely on calculators).
E: But these numbers (buttons on the calculator) are not so big!

Did September just sneaked in without me realising August is over?
In August, we had
Birthdays, national and E's:
An accident, and the family rallying together with the aid of technology:
Makes you wish this exist so we can speed through the tough levels:
Always therapeutic to immerse in craftiness:
A new class at MWL - five little books and lots of techniques and tips to share:
Goodie bags - keeping it simple with 12x12 paper and 8 scored lines:
And this smile every day to keep me going:
