Thought i'd come and show off the pages from the story journal i did for Fiskars. They will be using some of these in their new advertising campaign..i have no idea which ones or how many, but here they all are in all their glory.
I was a little peeved that they managed to not only spell my name wrong (it's not that hard people) but i now apparently come from NSW and not VIC...hopefully the changes can be fixed before any printing happens but I'm not holding my breath . . .
Just thought i'd come in and show off some of the layouts i have done for Blue Bazaar lately. I always forget to show them here because once i pop them up in the gallery over there i kinda forget about them LOL...surprisingly i tend to do a lot more Koby layouts for BB than anything else. I think it's just because the topics kinda lend themselves to being more boyish.. anyway here are a few from this year.
And here are a few of my favourite shots from a recent session of mine. These guys were so cool and gorgeous and fun. I spent a lot of time chasing their little pocket rocket of a son around but it was worth it in the end lol
got another couple of sessions coming up this weekend, that's all i really have to say for now though. Time to get the kids out the bath and start cooking tea.
I have done this particular tag before but not for a while so i thought i'd have a go while the kettle was boiling,
I have been tagged by Cassandra, whom is a delightful Sydney photographer friend of mine.
The rules are:
- Link the person who tagged you
- Mention the rules on your blog
- Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
- Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them
- Leave a comment on each of the tagged bloggers blogs letting them know they have been tagged. (i SO won't get around to doing that part PMSL)
Here we go:
1. I can't stop thinking about having another baby...i want one..now...right now...six months ago...one more month before we can officially have "the talk".
2. I often drink my coffee cold. I don't like hot hot coffee...when i make it i always add lots of milk to cool it down and it usually sits next to me for a good 15 min before i drink it.
3. I am a tracky-dack kinda girl. Luke hates it, he is very image conscious and wouldn't dream of walking to the letterbox in his trackies let alone around a shopping center like i do. I've just lost all pride in myself i guess, and comfort has well overtaken my fashion sense LOL
4. I don't like calling people on the phone. Answering calls i can do, but i always get really nervous when i have to call someone. Doesn't matter who it is. I am getting better at this now i am dealing with clients, but i still have to psych myself up to make a call...i don't know what i'm so worried about.
5. Back on the telephone thing i always have to wait for three rings before i pick up...even if i am sitting right next to the phone (which i usually am because it's on my computer desk). I guess i don't want people to think i just hang around the phone waiting for it to call LOL...so i make them wait three rings...if it takes more than three rings for me to answer then i am genuinely not near the phone at the time.
6. I talk to myself. A lot. In the car especally...i even make myself laugh sometimes.
I now tag the following people:
Dannii Best
Lisa Barnes
Felicity M (i'm not even gonna attempt to spell your last name this early in the morning lovely LOL)
Jesse Broome
Amanda Hall
Donna Wild
If you have already done this recently then i won't be offended if you don't do it again this time.
I was woken this morning with lots of cuddles and kisses which was lovely. Koby gave me a sweet little bathroom bag with a wash cloth and little soap that looked like a cupcake. I must say he did very well, it is VERY me and he even picked out my favourite colour.
Charlee gave me several hand made treasures, including a painting she did at kinder and also a coaster with her hand print on it which she made at playgroup.
I have some things to show off. I finished my very first cabled beanie last night, i am really happy with how it came out. I have never made anything with a cabled pattern before because it seemed very scary, and it was LOL...a little too fiddly to be honest but i got there in the end and i'm really happy with it. I now have to make one for Koby in Blue and Luke also requested one in white (how boring huh?!)...
anyway, here is charlee modeling hers in the front yard.
and being a bit cheeky throwing leaves all over mummy...
I also wanted to show off some of the vintage knitting books i picked up at an op shop the other week
An i am also very proud to say that Koby was announced as the VIP - very important prep - at his school this week. He gets to have his photo up on the window in his class room, and also help out the teacher with various tasks during the week. he was very proud of himself. They are also going on an excursion to the zoo on Tuesday...i'll admit that i am just a wee bit nervous sending my baby all the way into the city without my constant supervision...what if he gets lost? separated from the group? hurt? eaten by a lion?! ok so maybe the last one is a little over the top but the rest are all quite reasonable fears of mine...
And finally, one more bit of news. I was contacted by Fiskars the other day to let me know that i was one of the two winners picked to be a part of the Fiskars advertising for the year. The story journal i made at the start of the year was chosen to be used in the adverts that will run in all the major scrapping mags. I was very chuffed...the other winner was Ngaire Bartlam who is a fantastic scrapper as well so congrats to her. Can't wait to see the adds up in print.
that's all from me..off to sit in front of the telly with my feet up enjoying some chocolate and a coffee. Hope all you other mummys out there are doing the same.
