MartheJane turns 30!



Believe me, she counts down the sleeps! But her party was today and I made her a card with a difference, connecting the big numbers 3 and 0 with ball chain so she could wear with pride!

OOOOOOOh I've Been Tagged!

Is this like playing chasey?



Somehow I don't think so! Gail (goosmith.blogspot.com) and Teresa (thetamarisk.blogspot.com) have done this deed and have nominated most of the same people so I am not going to make them go through this process again and again. Is this breach of "tagging" law? It's a risk I will take. Who made these "rules" anyway?



The rules being: 1. Link to the person that tagged you (I was twin tagged!) and leave a comment on their blog so that their readers can visit yours. 2. Post these rules on your blog 3. Share 7 random facts about yourself on your blog. 4. Tag 7 random people at the bottom of your post, linking to their blog. Let each person know by leaving a comment on their blog.



Teresa is working full time at Paperific and should be using her time without her children more wisely and Gail should be looking after her post-surgery husband but these are my random facts:-



1. I drink, white and red wines.

2. My favourite restaurant is Citrus in Beaumaris, although I haven't been there for a while.

3. In 2005 I was operated on -twice -for breast cancer.

4. I hate driving, have no sense of direction and can even get car sick whilst behind the wheel!

5. I was a volunteer for the Melbourne Commonwealth Games.

6. I met my husband when he was teaching my youngest sister at primary school.

7. In 1979 I travelled overseas - twice - to New Zealand and then Trafalgar toured around Europe.

***Bonus fact*** I spent Waaaaay too much at Paperific and am never going again!

and
I am not even sure how to do rule No.4 anyway, it's all too much!

Busy Busy Busy



Just a few cards I have done lately, 9 of Greta's Arty Oz Kit Swap ATC's and one lonely MOO card for the swap Teresa is hosting. I just scraped in a dozen or so swaps for Paperific starting tomorrow.

Pink





Not a colour I use a lot in my arty stuff but I did a pink background on a round robin Puzzle Piece and was so thrilled with the results that I used pink again (and brown) for my Chipboard Book Round Robin, also an Arty Oz challenge. I chose the tricky them of Dolls, new to me and probably daunting for the rest of the players but we will have to wait for the results.

Thank You Teresa!


I received the most beautiful RAK in the mail today. I have been admiring Teresa's pretty pink work on her blog http://www.thetamarisk.blogspot.com/ and now I own this stunning ATC . Teresa is a fabulously multi-talented artist, a great friend and there was obviously a lot of work in this creation, as explained on "the tamarisk".

Lucky Me


A small token of appreciation from Gail for driving her to Teresa's - the "hands" of Jen , the same one's Ro used at Altered Book Night, Gail remembering Sarah's eyes popping out of her head last Thursday, thought of me AND put the thing together so I could use it straight away - very thoughtful! Now I can solder when Sarah is at school instead of having to call her to hold stuff for me. I love my new gadget!

Vintage White


Latest creations posted off today. A bit of a collaborative effort, thanks to Greta for the embossed wallpaper background (Gail used it in her ATC's as well), Gail provided the images (I didn't take any to Teresa's) and Liz had an input somewhere along the line as well!
