I thought the French Ladies in the preceding post would make a great set of posters, so I'm in the process of redrawing them so they'll print well... Making a Printable Halloween Pop Up Book ... Making a C ardboard Castle - inspired by the grandsons play at the moment. The guy who has just turned four no longer wants to wreck everything he gets his hands on - he knows when to play gentle... People have asked how I make a printable so I put down the basics. I'll go into more detail on this soon... I finished making a Halloween table setting, a set of stand up spooky houses... Halloween Table Setting  :)

Just had the most fun time with these ladies from an old French magazine. Thought they'd make great journal pages. Get yours . :) Methinks they'd make great posters too, and scrap tags.

Just had to show you these. Darcy's first day at kindy. The 'Lucky Shot' title of this post has more to do with capturing the pictures, I think, than Darcy's ability.  ....careful aim..... tongue in the right place...take no notice of Naaz (pronounced 'Narz')....she's got that camera out again... ...BOOMFAH!....I did it!!!... I don't know who was more elated, getting the photo was pure luck! Very thankful, I am, for lots of things in my life. Every now and then I have to stop and say 'How did I deserve this?' I'm not going to ponder on the answer - just going to go around enjoying the good. These downloads for Thank You Cards are at the post in the link: Easy Printables: Thank You Card Templates :)

Had a couple of days up my sleeve, so went net surfing. Signed up for a Christmas ATC swap with the NZ group at Card Making World. You only get to see this much, because the swap isn't complete. Will unveil when the whole shebang is over. Somewhere I read recently that something like 92% of crafters make or have made cards. There are so many wonderful examples that are really inspiring...I just have to have a go at it. I had a go a while back but wasn't very pleased with my efforts. Same as everything I suppose...practice makes perfect. There are a heap of aids available to buy but I shan't be doing that. Not yet anyway... I'll see if I get the bug. Talk about spending... I think I need a new printer... :)
