Abby’s little gems keep on coming and I don’t think I have enough time to scrap the hilarious things she keeps coming out with. This morning we dropped the boys off at school in drizzly kinda foggy weather and continued on around to the post box to post those 20th of month cheques. I get out, post the letters and jump back in the car. Abby says "Wow Mum! I didn’t see you.. must be that blog out there…do you know what a blog is?"
At which point I had thoughts of how kids are growing up far too fast these days.. the girl is 4 years old for goodness sakes, who’s told her about blogs… all this runs through my mind in the split second before I open my mouth to answer her but she beats me to it…
"You know Mum! When it’s all white out there. It’s all around us and white. It’s called BLOG.
Or could that be fog. Fog is white and all around us. I can smile and relax that she is still 4 and will stay my little girl for a wee while yet.
I’ve been working on layouts for Sherry Steveson’s new book called "The Scrapbooker’s Embellishment Handbook" I have 6 layouts to do – I’m loving working on them, I can use any supplies I like – wooohoooooo! anyway I picked up a piece of Cosmo Cricket paper and across the bottom it had written: Acid free, Lignin free, Fat free, Sugar free and high in Fiber. I LOVE IT! Love the sense of humour at Cosmo Cricket!
My playlist is getting a little boring whilst creating said layouts so I went blog surfing (truth be known I was procrastinating which is my second favourite thing behind scrapping) and I found Kylie Tout’s blog. not only does she have a great rundown of the SIA event from last weekend but I love her soundtrack too. Poor kylie is going to wonder why I have spent 8 hours reading her blog – I’m listening to your sounds, luv! I especially love the very touching song by Martina McBride called Concrete Angel. Actually I hadn’t seen the you-tube video until now and hadn’t quite understood what it was really all about. Wow powerful song. Moving on to Lee Woodside’s blog for some more upbeat stuff!
So anyway inbetween scrapping and listening to music on other people’s blogs (and cooking, cleaning, doing Mum stuff and watching *ahem* the builders at work here) I’ve been cleaning out this scraproom of mine. I’m moving soon into a new office – sharing with my hubby – yay – and I’ve been looking for little containers. they have to be square – you know how I am, clean lines and square is good – I want them to sit in drawers so I can pull out a few at a time depending on what I’m working on and (surprise surprise) put them away afterwards. I’ve searched trademe upside down, I’ve looked through shops and stores and the only really perfect container I can find are Ferrero Roche boxes.
SO I’m not sure if this is good or bad. I know it’s a flippin expensive way of buying containers. But I get a free 24 chocies with every container!
I guess I need to get real about it and ask if somehow, somewhere, someone has access to dozens of these containers? No? Setting my hopes too high here? Someone in the www has to owrk at the ferrero Roche container factory. O.K. I may be pushing it – but please keep me in mind if you see these containers going to waste OR if you can tell me where I can get some similar. They have to be clear. And rectangle/square.
Hugs going out to the Oregon girls today. Just because.
