This boy/man

This man was born exactly 21 years ago. He's still my baby even though he likes to think he's a man. Happy Birthday Jordan! We love you!

The best laid plans...

You know I had great plans for posting more often during my break from TAFE but where did that time go?? Anyhoo here is my latest batch of cards for Trin. I'm just getting to know my new toy 'The Big Shot'. A special thanks goes out to my friend Karen for allowing me to use her cute bird punch.

It's time I came back

Hi everyone. I'm back. I can't make any excuses, just laziness. It's not that I haven't been active, just not active in a creative way. Some days life just gets in the way. I'm not complaining mind. My clever hubby loves to carve things. Of course with me doing the foody thing it was only a matter of time before he embraced the concept of cooking even if it isn't quite what I had in mind. Here are a couple of pictures of what he's been doing.

I know it.

Yeah I know it that I have been really really slack in posting on my blog. Sorry, I really am. Life just gets in the way doesn't it? I have been a tiny bit productive as you will see but I have to admit, this cooking course thing is just inhibiting my time and I'm not sure I like it! What am I saying? Of course I'm enjoying it! The trouble is, after a full day of thinking of nothing but food, food and more food, the old creative juices have evaporated, yes poof! evaporated! And then dear heart of mine expects me to come home and cook him dinner!!!!! Here are a couple of gift cards that I have done for Trin's shop. Don't forget they are only small.

Mail Art for Inkurables

The plain white envelope was first stamped with the Stampin Up Medallion in three different oranges. Inkadinkadoo birds were first stamped in Basic Gray colour and then stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Distress ink Tumbled Glass was smudged over the envelope leaving an area clear for the address. The edges were done with Not quite Navy ink. Sending sunshine from Darkroom Door and stamp stamp from Cavellini.

Things are a little quiet (artwise) around here

As you know I'm training to be a chef. Most of my creativity has been channelled into my cooking lately. Sad but true. Yesterday it was a 3:00am start and it was off to the Sydney Fish Markets for a school excursion to learn all about fish and crustaceans. As a lover of any seafood it was a real eye-opener into how it actually gets to our table. I certainly have a new appreciation and the reason why some seafood is so costly. Afterwards it was onto the taping of READY STEADY COOK. It was a great experience, and, we got a goody bag and a photo!!
