Edited to add: Winner – Carolyn Fodel – COngrats!
Even at 7 years old Abby still comes up with gems of interesting information. She is learning about the past and present at school, resulting in many questions about what the world was like when I was little. Because that was so many years ago.
Classic homework question last night. "When your parents were little they might not have had microwaves" (um point to note here, we did so, I'm not that old …anyway…question continued…) "how would cooking have been different for them?"
So Abby asks me – "How would cooking be different without microwaves?" I thought pretty hard about the answer, I mean the girl is 7 and has no real concept about cooking. My best, most consise, compact answer I could think of was " You couldn't re-heat food as easily. We'd eat less leftovers. You'd have to eat it when it was hot, or eat it cold the next night maybe".
Her answer?
But you could have rubbed sticks together and stuff to make fire to reheat it, right?
I laughed. She was offended I laughed. I should have been the offended one, considering she classed me as being alive in the caveman days.
Anyway – time for a giveaway. It's a biggie – I'm giving away a space in Lain Ehmann's Big Picture Class, $79 in value. Here's the details!
Class details:
A Scrapbook Marathon
Are you a marathon scrapbooker? Do you want to be? As crazy as it may sound, scrapbookers have a lot in common with runners. Both can run into the same problems – lack of time, isolation, a routine that has become more of a drudgery than a help. The good news? You can easily overcome these obstacles.
No, Lain won’t make you run 26.2 miles in just a few hours – but she will challenge you to scrapbook 26 layouts in 26 days! Through The Mother LOAD – A Scrapbook Marathon, part of the 4Experts series for 2011, Lain will show you how committing to making scrapbooking a priority in your life will help you:
- Scrapbook faster
- Love your pages more
- Actually USE your stash
- Connect with what you love best about this hobby of ours
The first two months of class will be spent on “basic training” to increase your stamina, refine your process, and get you mentally and physically ready for the ultimate challenge: creating a layout a day for the first 26 days of September. After you cross the finish line, there will be time for reflection – and celebration!"
So, leave me a comment before midnight Saturday 18thJune, US PST and I'll put you in the draw! C'mon, let's get some comments going on… big prize up for grabs, Lain is an awesome teacher, FULL of inspiration, she'll have you inspired to scrap like never before.
If you are keen to sign up for the class now, here is a coupon code: LOAD2011 – put that coupon code in at Big Picture and you'll get a $20 discount. Bazinga!
Oh! While I'm helping you spend money, I see TwoPeas has a 30% off Prima sale – ugh, it's criminal.
Oh and still spaces at my SENZ classes – I'm hoping to have more sneaks this week, so check in when you can!
Leaving you with a little bit of cuteness taken by Vicky Gibson photography. We had some pics taken a little while ago and Vicky is sending me teasers while she is editing … look at Abby's cute little tummy peeking out, so cute! Can't wait to scrap some of these!
Laters!
