I must be one of

I must be one of the only Mums out there that loves the school holidays – I’ve said it before. Love the company, love the lack of rigid routine, love pancakes for lunch and the noise of the kids playing in the house. Sad to see it end.

Today was a warm day, the kids went outside and made potions out of chalk and water. Cool colours. They ended by colouring in the playhut. It was a cool end to the holidays.

I’m not sure how Jacob was holding the camera here, it’s going to be hard to scrap this one since I need to have everything so beautifully perfectly square.
Love the non-posed nature of it though. Accidently colour co-ordinated. no really. It was an accident. lol

I’m excited about the next month, but nervous too – the next 6 weeks are going to fly. I have only a month-ish til I travel over to Sydney so I am able to give away more details of the Crafting Connection event now. *warning, shameless self promotion follows*I’m going to pump my classes because a) I love them all and b) because I’ve been asked a few questions about homework etc so I’m going to kill two birds with one stone here and give you all the details :o)

Ok so Conversations – this is the 60 minute class – relaxed, easy going , cool project. No homework, no photos needed. Sponsored by Fancypants designs and finishing touches. This is going to be by far those most relaxing walk-out-with-a-cool-project-and-smile-on-my-face class.

Constant Reminders – You need to grab 6 photos that are distinctly you. Make them black and white if you can, and able to be cropped down from 6×4 to slightly smaller would be perfect. Basically this album can be about anything really. Relax, take some pics of your fav things/fav people – the things that we can associate with YOU. No other homework. *the crowd goes wild – yeeeeeeeeea!*
This class is perfect for anyone wanting to dabble in the clear album arena :o) It’s fun, it’s learning how to assemble an acrylic album, its smothered in Scenic Route and Queen & Co felt. It’s GOT to be good for you. lol

And finally – Confessions. I could just about say that this is my fav of the three. This is by far the more involved class. It uses a new 6×12 album and we play around with various techniques to create something interactive and downright flippin fantastic actually. lol. It’s an ambitious class but if you want to play with the 6×12 size this is a great class to start with. Although its so much more. Love it. BasicGrey. Love that too. lol. Lots of product. Great end result. Extremely proud of this one.
Homework – just photos. But I’m picky with this one.

Photos: all of yourself. They dont have to be great pics, just a range of fun pics of yourself, give the camera to your kids or hubby, neighbour or perhaps some confused complete stranger. See the tickle pic above. Dont stress about this. Any pics will do – you can always replace them later anyhow.
Black & white preferred.
6×4 portrait orientation x 2
6×4 landscape orientation x 1
2 x 3 landscape orientation x1
2×3 portrait orientation x 1
A smaller photo, around 2×2 inches.

As I said, I’m proud of these classes and the last thing I want is to hear people say “Oh I saw your… class and I wish I had sat in on it” – well seriously people, the chance is there now. Yea I’m ranting and raving, this is probably the last teachig gig I will do for a long while so I want sellouts, dammit, so go book. LOL.

See my new links? Ginger williams – awesome photography. Just came across Ginger recently. I love to find cool new blogs etc, not that I actually cruise them much, I’m a catch up once a month kinda guirl, but send me links of your fav ones if you have some cool ones to share :o)
