Last Friday was busy. I was getting stuff ready for Christchurch, but it was also hubby's birthday. He was dying of man-flu, which is much worse than the almost equivalent woman-flu, and I had a list a mile long to do. Despite the fact that said husband was apparently dying of man flu, he still decided he wanted to go out to dinner for his birthday. So we did. On the way to dinner we stopped and got gas. Paul throws a phone at me from outside the car "what do we do with this?" he asks. He had found it on the ground.
The phone was pretty flash. Camera and all. It had a few missed calls on it, probably the owner looking for it. I looked in the contacts menu and saw the top of the list was "mum". So I rang her.
"Um yep, I found this phone and yours was a name I thought would be sensible to ring". Waiting for the confused questions to come from the other end of the phone. To the contrary though – the lady on the other end was so relieved – it was her hubbies phone (crack me up that she is in the contacts under 'Mum') and he had lost it somewhere during the day.
I asked if she was local and she said she was, I told her which restaurant we were going to and perhaps should call in and get it if she was still out and about. She replied that they had just gone to work for the night. I asked where she lived and told her I'd drop it in her mailbox after dinner. So we went on to dinner and afterwards we went across the other side of town and left it in her mailbox. I left my card with a note on the back saying where we'd found it. Because in all seriousness it'd kill me if I got my phone back like that and didn't know where I'd lost it in the first place.
And then I forgot about it.
When I got home from Christchurch there was a huge box of chocolates on my desk. "What's this?" I asked Paul – "Oh that guy with the phone called in, he wanted to let you know that he thought it was pretty cool that there is still some honest people in the world, and that he was really grateful".
So totally unneccessary of him but so cool to think I made someones day like that. And in return he made my day. How nice was it of him to take time out to make sure I knew he appreciated it?
Anyways. Scrapbooking. Prima – Prima is a great company to work for, and the PrimaDonnas are a very cool bunch of girls to hang out with. Nathalie Kalbach is one of the ladies based in Germany but she is doing an online class for Blue Bazaar in just a few days. The class is called "Make it Flatter" Here are the details, it's a class about altering your photos with alsorts of cool stuff, it does include a class pack so you need to sign up ASAP. It's great to see some of the Prima classes down this way, so I thought I'd give Nat a shout out and let you know about her class :o)
Ok – work to do, I'll leave you with some more images of the gallery from the last Tarisota Gallery.This was a tiny little acrylic album – I threw some photos in it and played with a few papers and gave it to Jacob when he came home from school that afternoon. He was thrilled!
