I've had orders. They came in the form of a little girl carrying "The Power of One" book with a piece of toilet paper marking the page she was apparently up to. Obviously, she is clever, she takes after her Mum, I was a six subject school C student but I don't recall reading Bryce Courtney at 5 years old…
"I need a bookmark, Mum, and I think you could make me one".
Sure – what kind of bookmark do you want? What do you want on it?
"Oh you know, my favourite things. Pictures. Like of my favourite stuff. You know, computers, playstations, love hearts, flowers, sausages, toys, cool layouts and lights that are square "- she was looking around the room at that point and was grasping for things to say, I think…"
Okaaaaay. Sure thing… I'll do that this weekend, is that alright, Abby?
Yep – just let me know when it's done and I'll put it in my book.
The kid is ambitious. I'll give her that.
So this week I found my mojo. And for those of you that took the guess – pixie caramel is the answer and I try not to find my mojo in them. I avoid them. They are the new freddo frog and will be avoided at all costs. They are the number 1 reason I could never move from New Zealand. Number 2 reason being that I'm a homebody and couldn't stand being away from my stomping ground.
Unfortunately though, although I found my mojo and wanted to scrap, I have a love-hate relationship with my photos right now. I love taking pics, I hate the download from camera-edit -figure out which ones I want and get them printed process. So I just don't do it. And I use the same pics over and over. And I now have thousands of unedited neglected pics on my harddrive and I've even stopped taking pics because I don't want to add them to the pile.
I think someone would make a fortune as a 'in home editor of photos". Is there anyone that has been made redundant that has those skills? I'd love someone to take all my pics and edit, name, sort and present them back to me all beautiful. Seriously. Money to be made. A business to start up.
Anyone else feeling the same way? A pixie Caramel might fix it.
A layout I created for Tarisota. I saw this stamp of Princess Diana and just thought "Oh wow, if only she knew what was coming"
oh and one last thing – for those of you that saw the gorgeous pic of the house made with Porcelain basicgrey at the Autumn Escape? It's now been made into a class. Scrapbook Studio in Mt Wellington have Nickie Mouncey teaching her fabulous Porcelain house as a 2 part class – Fridays 5th and 12th of June at 10.30am!
